Deep TrafficNet: A Hybrid GRU–BiLSTM Framework for Multi-Junction Urban Traffic Flow Prediction

This study employs convolutional neural network (CNN), long short-term memory (LSTM), bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM), and gated recurrent unit (GRU) deep learning models to simulate daily streamflow using precipitation data. Two approaches were explored: one without dimension reduction and another incorporating dimensionality reduction technique. Principal component analysis (PCA) was employed for dimensionality reduction, and partial autocorrelation function (PACF) was used to determine time lags. An augmented Dickey–Fuller (ADF) test was utilized to ascertain the stationarity of the data, ensuring optimal model performance. The data were normalized and then partitioned into features and target variables, before being split into training, validation, and test sets. The developed models were tested for their performance, robustness, and stability at three locations along the Neuse River, which is in the Neuse River Basin, North Carolina, USA, covering an area of about 14,500 km2. Furthermore, the model’s performance was tested during peak flood events to assess their ability to capture the temporal resolution of streamflow. The results revealed that the CNN model could capture the variability in daily streamflow prediction, as evidenced by excellent statistical measures, including mean absolute error, root mean square error, and Nush–Sutcliffe efficiency. The study also found that incorporating dimensionality reduction significantly improved model performance.

Sentiment Analysis of Self Driving Car Dataset: A comparative study of Deep Learning approaches

With the advancement of cloud computing technologies, there is an ever-increasing demand for the maximum utilization of cloud resources. It increases the computing power consumption of the cloud’s systems. Consolidation of cloud’s Virtual Machines (VMs) provides a pragmatic approach to reduce the energy consumption of cloud Data Centers (DC). Effective VM consolidation and VM migration without breaching Service Level Agreement (SLA) can be attained by taking proactive decisions based on cloud’s future workload prediction. Effective task scheduling, another major issue of cloud computing also relies on accurate forecasting of resource usage. Cloud workload traces exhibit both periodic and non-periodic patterns with the sudden peak of load. As a result, it is very challenging for the prediction models to precisely forecast future workload. This prompted us to propose a hybrid Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) based prediction model named BHyPreC. BHyPreC architecture includes Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (Bi-LSTM) on top of the stacked Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU). Here, BHyPreC is used to predict future CPU usage workload of cloud’s VM. Our proposed model enhances the non-linear data analysis capability of Bi-LSTM, LSTM, and GRU models separately and demonstrates better accuracy compared to other statistical models. The effect of variation of historical window size and training-testing data size on these models is observed. The experimental result shows that our model gives higher accuracy and performs better in comparison to Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA), LSTM, GRU, and Bi-LSTM model for both short-term ahead and long-term ahead prediction.

Short Term Stock Price Prediction in Indian Market: A Neural Network Perspective

As a new type of currency introduced in the new millennium, cryptocurrency has established its ecosystems and attracts many people to use and invest in it. However, cryptocurrencies are highly dynamic and volatile, making it challenging to predict their future values. In this research, we use a multivariate prediction approach and three different recurrent neural networks (RNNs), namely the long short-term memory (LSTM), the bidirectional LSTM (Bi-LSTM), and the gated recurrent unit (GRU). We also propose simple three layers deep networks architecture for the regression task in this study. From the experimental results on five major cryptocurrencies, i.e., Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Cardano (ADA), Tether (USDT), and Binance Coin (BNB), we find that both Bi-LSTM and GRU have similar performance results in terms of accuracy. However, in terms of the execution time, both LSTM and GRU have similar results, where GRU is slightly better and has lower variation results on average.

Highly accurate cryptocurrency price predictions are of paramount interest to investors and researchers. However, owing to the nonlinearity of the cryptocurrency market, it is difficult to assess the distinct nature of time-series data, resulting in challenges in generating appropriate price predictions. Numerous studies have been conducted on cryptocurrency price prediction using different Deep Learning (DL) based algorithms. This study proposes three types of Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs): namely, Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU), and Bi-Directional LSTM (Bi-LSTM) for exchange rate predictions of three major cryptocurrencies in the world, as measured by their market capitalization—Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Litecoin (LTC). The experimental results on the three major cryptocurrencies using both Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) and the Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) show that the Bi-LSTM performed better in prediction than LSTM and GRU. Therefore, it can be considered the best algorithm. Bi-LSTM presented the most accurate prediction compared to GRU and LSTM, with MAPE values of 0.036, 0.041, and 0.124 for BTC, LTC, and ETH, respectively. The paper suggests that the prediction models presented in it are accurate in predicting cryptocurrency prices and can be beneficial for investors and traders. Additionally, future research should focus on exploring other factors that may influence cryptocurrency prices, such as social media and trading volumes.

The accurate short-term traffic flow prediction can provide timely and accurate traffic condition information which can help one to make travel decision and mitigate the traffic jam. Deep learning (DL) provides a new paradigm for the analysis of big data generated by the urban daily traffic. In this paper, we propose a novel end-to-end deep learning architecture which consists of two modules. We combine convolution and LSTM to form a Conv-LSTM module which can extract the spatial-temporal information of the traffic flow information. Furthermore, a Bi-directional LSTM module is also adopted to analyze historical traffic flow data of the prediction point to get the traffic flow periodicity feature. The experimental results on the real dataset show that the proposed approach can achieve a better prediction accuracy compared with the existing approaches.

Gold is a precious metal with high resale value, often considered a safe investment as its price typically rises with inflation, attracting investors. However, even slight changes in gold prices can have significant impacts. To build an accurate forecasting model, this study applies and compares Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU), Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Unit (Bi-GRU), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), and Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (Bi-LSTM) algorithms on global gold prices. GRU and LSTM are recurrent neural networks designed to capture patterns in sequential data, where GRU uses a simplified gating mechanism to retain essential information, and LSTM, with its more complex gates, helps manage long-term dependencies in data. Bi-GRU and Bi-LSTM process data bidirectionally, capturing context from both past and future sequences for better prediction accuracy. This research uses data from Yahoo Finance (01-01-2014 to 12-06-2024) and experiments with optimization techniques (Adam, AdamW, Adamax, and Nadam), batch sizes (8, 16, and 32), time steps (10, 20, and 30), and a learning rate of 0.0001, trained for 1000 epochs with checkpoints and early stopping. Bi-GRU with Nadam, batch size 8, and 20 time steps proved most effective, with MSE of 4.1153, RMSE of 2.0286, MAE of 1.5881, and MAPE of 0.8857%. Forecasts using this model predict a 20-day decline in gold prices.

Parts of Speech (pos) tagging corresponds to techniques of tagging accurate pos tags of each word of a sentence. It is a pivotal and indispensable part of sentiment analysis, synthesizing text to speech, analyzing textual data and many more Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks. Though there are many researches done in the field of languages like English, Chinese etc., it is still comparatively unexplored for Bangla. An excellent pos tagger in Bangla language can accelerate NLP of Bangla textual data. In this study, we have developed a novel hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model with two parallel input networks with Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), and Bidirectional Long Short Term Memory (BiLSTM), and an output network of CNN. CNN works well regarding the local dependencies of words in sentences, and BiLSTM works well with the global dependencies of words regarding the context in a sentence. No other work has been done with local features of textual data along with long term word dependencies in Bangla pos tagging studies. The model can work with any external Word Embeddings. In this study, it is implemented with both Embedding Layer and Word2Vec layer. In the evaluation process, Mathews Correlation Coefficient (MCC), Precision-Recall curve are used along with accuracy and F1-score due to the dataset's imbalanced characteristic. Our proposed model accompanied by Word2Vec layer has outperformed Vanilla Recurrent Neural Network (RNN), Gated Recurrent Units (GRU), Long Short Term Memory (LSTM), BiLSTM networks, and also one recent study using the same dataset with the highest accuracy of 0.974, F1-score of 0.883, and MCC value of 0.936.

Data available on the internet is growing constantly. This huge amount of data makes it harder for the users to get useful information. Comments and reviews of movies are given by many users, and recommendation systems makes it easier to find useful content, which is fast and relevant for users. Movies with more positive reviews and comments are usually chosen by everyone. The sentiment behind user reviews is useful to know whether a movie is worth watching. This paper outlines an approach for a movie recommendation system that uses cosine similarity technique to recommend similar movies to users based on the movie title , genre, director, actor they choose or search . Deep learning algorithms, GRU (Gated Recurrent unit), LSTM (long short-term memory), RNN (Recurrent neural network) and BI-LSTM (bi-directional long short-term memory), are trained and tested to classify user comments taken from YouTube into positive, negative, and neutral sentiments. Accuracy, F1-score, precision, recall measures are utilized to assess the model from every perspective. After comparing four algorithms, as BI-LSTM outperformed other algorithms with an accuracy, recall, F1 score and precision, of 98.58%, 97.99% 98.26% and 98.54% respectively, Bi-LSTM (bi-directional long short-term memory) is used for performing sentiment analysis on the movie reviews dataset to understand users sentiment.

In today's digital world, app stores have become an essential part of software distribution, providing customers with a wide range of applications and opportunities for software developers to showcase their work. This study elaborates on the importance of end-user feedback for software evolution. However, in the literature, more emphasis has been given to high-rating & popular software apps while ignoring comparatively low-rating apps. Therefore, the proposed approach focuses on end-user reviews collected from 64 low-rated apps representing 14 categories in the Amazon App Store. We critically analyze feedback from low-rating apps and developed a grounded theory to identify various concepts important for software evolution and improving its quality including user interface (UI) and user experience (UX), functionality and features, compatibility and device-specific, performance and stability, customer support and responsiveness and security and privacy issues. Then, using a grounded theory and content analysis approach, a novel research dataset is curated to evaluate the performance of baseline machine learning (ML), and state-of-the-art deep learning (DL) algorithms in automatically classifying end-user feedback into frequently occurring issues. Various natural language processing and feature engineering techniques are utilized for improving and optimizing the performance of ML and DL classifiers. Also, an experimental study comparing various ML and DL algorithms, including multinomial naive Bayes (MNB), logistic regression (LR), random forest (RF), multi-layer perception (MLP), k-nearest neighbors (KNN), AdaBoost, Voting, convolutional neural network (CNN), long short-term memory (LSTM), bidirectional long short term memory (BiLSTM), gated recurrent unit (GRU), bidirectional gated recurrent unit (BiGRU), and recurrent neural network (RNN) classifiers, achieved satisfactory results in classifying end-user feedback to commonly occurring issues. Whereas, MLP, RF, BiGRU, GRU, CNN, LSTM, and Classifiers achieved average accuracies of 94%, 94%, 92%, 91%, 90%, 89%, and 89%, respectively. We employed the SHAP approach to identify the critical features associated with each issue type to enhance the explainability of the classifiers. This research sheds light on areas needing improvement in low-rated apps and opens up new avenues for developers to improve software quality based on user feedback.

Accurate short-term traffic flow prediction is the foundation of the efficient and proactive management of freeway networks, especially on the abnormal traffic states. The relationship between traffic flow on the current section and the upstream stations can be used for predicting short-term traffic flow. In this paper, we reveal this relationship by the traffic flow structure pattern. The structure pattern can be drawn from real freeway toll data and a few video detective cameras on the freeway segments. Based on the stability pattern, a new traffic flow prediction algorithm has been proposed. Experimental based on real data showed that the prediction method based on structure pattern is an effective approach for traffic flow prediction, especially on the abnormal traffic state.
