Improving Effectiveness of Energy Baseline Using Deep Learning

Deep learning (also known as deep structured learning, hierarchical learning, or deep machine learning) is a branch of machine learning based on a set of algorithms that attempt to model high-level abstractions in data by using a deep graph with multiple processing layers, composed of multiple linear and nonlinear transformations. Deep learning has been characterized as a class of machine learning algorithms with the following characteristics [257]: • They use a cascade of many layers of nonlinear processing units for feature extraction and transformation. Each successive layer uses the output from the previous layer as input. The algorithms may be supervised or unsupervised and applications include pattern analysis (unsupervised) and classification (supervised). • They are based on the (unsupervised) learning of multiple levels of features or representations of the data. Higher-level features are derived from lower-level features to form a hierarchical representation. • They are part of the broader machine learning field of learning representations of data. • They learn multiple levels of representations that correspond to different levels of abstraction; the levels form a hierarchy of concepts. These definitions have in common: multiple layers of nonlinear processing units and the supervised or unsupervised learning of feature representations in each layer, with the layers forming a hierarchy from low-level to high-level features. Various deep learning architectures such as deep neural networks, convolutional deep neural networks, deep belief networks (DBN), and recurrent neural networks have been applied to fields like computer vision, automatic speech recognition, natural language processing, audio recognition, and bioinformatics where they have been shown to produce state-of-the-art results on various tasks. In this chapter we start in Section 7.1 with an introduction, giving a brief history of this field, the relevant literature, and its applications. Then we study some basic concepts of deep learning such as convolutional neural networks, recurrent neural networks, backpropagation algorithm, restricted Boltzmann machines, and deep learning networks in Section 7.2. Then we illustrate three examples for Apache Spark implementation for mobile big data (MBD), user moving pattern extraction, and combination with nonparametric Bayesian learning, respectively, in Sections 7.3 through 7.5. Finally, we have summary in Section 7.6.

Forecasting the behavior of the stock market is a classic but difficult topic, one that has attracted the interest of both economists and computer scientists. Over the course of the last couple of decades, researchers have investigated linear models as well as models that are based on machine learning (ML), deep learning (DL), reinforcement learning (RL), and deep reinforcement learning (DRL) in order to create an accurate predictive model. Machine learning algorithms can now extract high-level financial market data patterns. Investors are using deep learning models to anticipate and evaluate stock and foreign exchange markets due to the advantage of artificial intelligence. Recent years have seen a proliferation of the deep reinforcement learning algorithm’s application in algorithmic trading. DRL agents, which combine price prediction and trading signal production, have been used to construct several completely automated trading systems or strategies. Our objective is to enable interested researchers to stay current and easily imitate earlier findings. In this paper, we have worked to explain the utility of Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Reinforcement Learning, and Deep Reinforcement Learning in Quantitative Finance (QF) and the Stock Market. We also outline potential future study paths in this area based on the overview that was presented before.

In recent years, deep reinforcement learning has combined the advantages of reinforcement learning and deep learning, and has made great progress in decision-making tasks. However, the training of deep reinforcement learning requires frequent interactions between the agent and the environment and repeated experiments. Adversaries have chances to poison the sample data collected by the agent by attacking the experimental environment in the training process, thereby bringing security risks and serious consequences to the training process of reinforcement learning. This work is committed to addressing the security risks in the field of deep reinforcement learning. However, this work improves the algorithm from the perspective of sample data filtering, and improves the security performance of deep reinforcement learning algorithm. There are two contributions in this work: one is to defend against adversarial attacks against deep reinforcement learning through cluster analysis and sample value evaluation; the other is to propose a deep reinforcement learning algorithm based on sample value evaluation on the basis of deterministic strategy gradient algorithm. The algorithm uses the clustering method to classify the sample pool, and measures the contribution value and security risk of the sample to the model training through the sample value evaluation. The classic game experiments show that the proposed algorithm is safe and effective. It reduces the threat of the agent falling into the adversarial sample attack and improves the training performance of deep reinforcement learning.

Introduction. The significance of machine learning under the conditions of digital transformation of industry, and methods of implementing deep learning to provide the performance of trust management systems are considered. The necessity of using convolutional artificial neural networks for deep machine learning is determined. Various technologies and architectures for the implementation of artificial neural networks are briefly considered; a comparative analysis of their performance is carried out. The work objective is to study the need to develop new approaches to the architecture of computing machines for solving problems of deep machine learning in the trust management system implementation.Materials and Methods. In the context of digital transformation, the use of artificial intelligence reaches a new level. The technical implementation of artificial neural systems with deep machine learning is based on the use of one of three basic technologies: high performance computing (HPC) with parallel data processing, neuromorphic computing (NC), and quantum computing (QC).Results. Implementation models for deep machine learning, basic technologies and architecture of computing machines, as well as requirements for trust assurance in control systems using deep machine learning are analyzed. The problem of shortage of computation power for solving such problems is identified. None of the currently existing technologies can solve the full range of learning and impedance problems. The current level of technology does not provide information security and reliability of neural networks. The practical implementation of trust management systems with deep machine learning based on existing technologies for a significant part of the tasks does not provide a sufficient level of performance.Discussion and Conclusions. The study made it possible to identify the challenge of the computation power shortage for solving problems of deep machine learning. Through the analysis of the requirements for trust management systems, the external challenges of their implementation on the basis of existing technologies, and the need to develop new approaches to the computer architecture are determined.

With the development of information and technology, especially with the boom in big data, healthcare support systems are becoming much better. Patient data can be collected, retrieved, and stored in real time. These data are valuable and meaningful for monitoring, diagnosing, and further applications in data analysis and decision-making. Essentially, the data can be divided into three types, namely, statistical, image-based, and sequential data. Each type has a different method of retrieval, processing, and deployment. Additionally, the application of machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) in healthcare support systems is growing more rapidly than ever. Numerous high-performance architectures are proposed to optimize decision-making. As reliability and stability are the most important factors in the healthcare support system, enhancing the predicted performance and maintaining the stability of the model are always the top priority. The main idea of our study comes from ensemble techniques. Numerous studies and data science competitions show that by combining several weak models into one, ensemble models can attain outstanding performance and reliability. We propose three deep ensemble learning (DEL) approaches, each with stable and reliable performance, that are workable on the above-mentioned data types. These are deep-stacked generalization ensemble learning, gradient deep learning boosting, and deep aggregation learning. The experiment results show that our proposed approaches achieve more vigorous and reliable performance than traditional ML and DL techniques on statistical, image-based, and sequential benchmark datasets. In particular, on the Heart Disease UCI dataset, representing the statistical type, the gradient deep learning boosting approach dominates the others with accuracy, recall, F1-score, Matthews correlation coefficient, and area under the curve values of 0.87, 0.81, 0.83, 0.73, and 0.91, respectively. On the X-ray dataset, representing the image-based type, the deep aggregation learning approach shows the highest performance with values of 0.91, 0.97, 0.93, 0.80, and 0.94, respectively. On the Depresjon dataset, representing the sequence type, the deep-stacked generalization ensemble learning approach outperforms the others with values of 0.91, 0.84, 0.86, 0.8, and 0.94, respectively. Overall, we conclude that applying DL models using our proposed approaches is a promising method for the healthcare support system to enhance prediction and diagnosis performance. Furthermore, our study reveals that these approaches are flexible and easy to apply to achieve optimal performance.

Deep learning has become widely used in image analysis. Transfer learning can make use of information from other datasets for the analysis of the chosen dataset. When there is a small number of images at hand, transfer learning using pre-trained models with coefficients already estimated from other datasets is recommended. This is in contrast to deep learning, where most model parameters are re-estimated. Deep transfer learning uses pre-trained models with fixed weight parameters in the lower layers; thus, deep learning can be viewed as a two-stage approach: (1) feature extraction from a lower neural network layer and (2) estimation of a neural network using the extracted features as inputs. Since deep transfer learning is feature extraction, we can extend the two-stage approach to a more general two-stage framework: (1) feature extraction using multiple methods and (2) machine learning methods taking extracted features as inputs. We evaluate the performance of methods with different Stage 1 and Stage 2 approaches in predicting the phenotype leaf numbers based on a multi-view plant imaging dataset. This paper contains an evaluation of different two-stage machine learning methods for multi-view image data in plant image phenotyping.

Short-term solar radiation forecasting using hybrid deep residual learning and gated LSTM recurrent network with differential covariance matrix adaptation evolution strategy

Facial age recognition has been widely used in real-world applications. Most of current facial age recognition methods use deep learning to extract facial features to identify age. However, due to the high dimension features of faces, deep learning methods might extract a lot of redundant features, which is not beneficial for facial age recognition. To improve facial age recognition effectively, this paper proposed the deep manifold learning (DML), a combination of deep learning and manifold learning. In DML, deep learning was used to extract high-dimensional facial features, and manifold learning selected age-related features from these high-dimensional facial features for facial age recognition. Finally, we validated the DML on Multivariate Observations of Reactions and Physical Health (MORPH) and Face and Gesture Recognition Network (FG-NET) datasets. The results indicated that the mean absolute error (MAE) of MORPH is 1.60 and that of FG-NET is 2.48. Moreover, compared with the state of the art facial age recognition methods, the accuracy of DML has been greatly improved.

The research progress in multimodal learning has grown rapidly over the last decade in several areas, especially in computer vision. The growing potential of multimodal data streams and deep learning algorithms has contributed to the increasing universality of deep multimodal learning. This involves the development of models capable of processing and analyzing the multimodal information uniformly. Unstructured real-world data can inherently take many forms, also known as modalities, often including visual and textual content. Extracting relevant patterns from this kind of data is still a motivating goal for researchers in deep learning. In this paper, we seek to improve the understanding of key concepts and algorithms of deep multimodal learning for the computer vision community by exploring how to generate deep models that consider the integration and combination of heterogeneous visual cues across sensory modalities. In particular, we summarize six perspectives from the current literature on deep multimodal learning, namely: multimodal data representation, multimodal fusion (i.e., both traditional and deep learning-based schemes), multitask learning, multimodal alignment, multimodal transfer learning, and zero-shot learning. We also survey current multimodal applications and present a collection of benchmark datasets for solving problems in various vision domains. Finally, we highlight the limitations and challenges of deep multimodal learning and provide insights and directions for future research.

As the network goes deep into all aspects of people''s lives, the number and the complexity of network traffic is increasing, and traffic classification becomes more and more important. How to classify them effectively is an important prerequisite for network management and planning, and ensuring network security. With the continuous development of deep learning, more and more traffic classification begins to use it as the main method, which achieves better results than traditional classification methods. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive review of network traffic classification based on deep learning. Firstly, we introduce the research background and progress of network traffic classification. Then, we summarize and compare traffic classification based on deep learning such as stack autoencoder, one-dimensional convolution neural network, two-dimensional convolution neural network, three-dimensional convolution neural network, long short-term memory network and Deep Belief Networks. In addition, we compare traffic classification based on deep learning with other methods such as based on port number, deep packets detection and machine learning. Finally, the future research directions of network traffic classification based on deep learning are prospected.

Cooperative robots became a very important research topic due to their capability to accomplish tasks fast and more efficiently. In order for cooperative robots to accomplish their tasks, they need to be able to plan their paths in the environment without any collision. Path planning for cooperative robots with deep reinforcement learning is a new research topic in robotics and artificial intelligence. Path planning via deep reinforcement learning is an end to end method. The robot directly receives the data from the sensor (usually high dimensional images) and generates an optimal policy that plans a safe path to the target. In this paper, we first present an overview of reinforcement learning, deep learning, and deep reinforcement learning. Then, we introduce methods used for path planning. Finally, we discuss the challenges of deep reinforcement learning path planning for cooperative robots.

Path planning refers to that the mobile robot can obtain the surrounding environment information and its own state information through the sensor carried by itself, which can avoid obstacles and move towards the target point. Deep reinforcement learning consists of two parts: reinforcement learning and deep learning, mainly used to deal with perception and decision-making problems, has become an important research branch in the field of artificial intelligence. This paper first introduces the basic knowledge of deep learning and reinforcement learning. Then, the research status of deep reinforcement learning algorithm based on value function and strategy gradient in path planning is described, and the application research of deep reinforcement learning in computer game, video game and autonomous navigation is described. Finally, I made a brief summary and outlook on the algorithms and applications of deep reinforcement learning.

It is a computational approach, which uses a deep learning model with an architecture similar to that of biological brain networks, that has been trained using vast amounts of data. Deep reinforcement learning (DRL) is another name for deep learning (DL). By eliminating the need for direct programming in the process, DL functions as a middleman between data collection and meaningful knowledge. It has outperformed the vast majority of classification algorithms and is capable of learning data representations for a broad range of functions by itself. Deep learning applications in cancer include classification, feature extraction, object identification, picture interpretation and translation, sensitively and appropriately, and image annotation and labeling. The goal of this chapter is to gain a better understanding of the possible function of DL and how it may be used more successfully in radiation oncology. With the expansion of DL, a wide range of studies that led to the improvement of radiation oncology were explored more thoroughly than before. This article discussed medical imaging, image segmentation utilizing computers to assist diagnosis, computer-aided detection, treatment planning and delivery, quality assurance, treatment response, and treatment delivery. The studies that utilized DL were classified and organized according to the kind of radiation treatment used. The most current scientific achievements were chosen, and the therapeutic value of their results was assessed. Therapists may profit from employing a deep learning model since it will provide them with more precise and accurate solutions to their problems. A statistical approach to cancer patient safety is obvious, but implementing these concepts would require social adjustments at both the academic and industrial levels, which will take time. The goal of this chapter was to make it as accessible as possible to both radiotherapy and deep learning in order to encourage new collaboration between the two groups in the development of specialized radiation technologies.

This study investigates the integration of technology acceptance and pedagogical deep learning in Islamic Religious Education (IRE), where deep learning is conceptualized as a pedagogical approach that emphasizes meaningful understanding, reflective thinking, and enjoyable engagement, rather than artificial intelligence-based deep learning. Although previous studies have extensively examined technology acceptance and deep learning independently, empirical studies integrating the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) with pedagogical deep learning in the context of Islamic education are still limited. To address this gap, this study uses a quantitative survey design involving 321 teachers and students selected through simple random sampling from a population of 1,287 participants. Data were collected using a validated Likert scale questionnaire (Cronbach's Alpha = 0.874) and analyzed through descriptive statistics and simple linear regression using SPSS version 25. The results of the study indicate that acceptance of TAM-based learning media has a significant and positive effect on the implementation of pedagogical deep learning (R² = 0.542, t = 12.884, p <0.001), showing that 54.2% of the variance in deep learning practices is explained by technology acceptance. Descriptive analysis shows that Perceived Usefulness recorded the highest average score among TAM constructs (M = 4.26), while Meaningful Learning emerged as the most dominant dimension in pedagogical learning (M = 4.23). Theoretically, this study expands TAM by positioning technology acceptance as a driver of deep, reflective, and value-oriented pedagogical learning in Islamic education. Practically, these findings provide evidence-based guidance for educators and schools in designing technology-supported IRE that promotes meaningful, attentive, and enjoyable learning experiences.

Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) is a deep learning model that uses the concept of supervised learning. Deep learning belongs to the family of machine learning. It is also called hierarchical learning or deep structured learning. The classic machine learning algorithms are definite, while the deep learning algorithms follow a chain of command. Deep learning has the capability to deal with more complex neural networks and it mainly deals with sequential data. Recurrent networks can process examples one at a time, preserving an element, that reflects over a long period of time.
