Wearable electroencephalography (EEG) devices for seizure detection accuracy and reliability are deep learning (DL) applications in the field of epilepsy diagnosis. In this study, we sought to increase the accuracy of seizure detection using advanced DL algorithms on the Children’s Hospital Boston - Massachusetts Institute of Technology (CHB-MIT) EEG database. First, a fully convolutional network (FCN) was trained and assessed using accuracy and recall/precision metrics, and the early stopping technique was used to avoid overfitting. To assess the performance, the FCN was evaluated in terms of various metrics, including accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC)-area under the curve (AUC). In addition, two-dimensional (2D) convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and long short-term memory (LSTM) models were used to model the database, and their performance was thoroughly measured using different metrics, graphs, and confusion matrices. Using LSTM variants, such as standard LSTM, bidirectional LSTM, stacked LSTM, and LSTM attention mechanisms, hybrid convolutional LSTM (ConvLSTM) models were trained and compared. The comparison was conducted based on the training and validation accuracy and loss, as well as the graphs resulting from the precision–recall curves. Apart from DL approaches, EEG signal analysis using time–frequency techniques, such as wavelet transform and short-time Fourier transform, has also been investigated. These methods assisted in the analysis of the time–frequency features of EEG signals in combination with DL models. This study demonstrates that the performance of wearable EEG devices can be augmented using a combination of DL and seizure signal processing techniques. The FCN achieved an accuracy of 92%, with a recall for seizures of 33%, an F1-score of 0.03, and strong ROC-AUC results. The 2D CNN achieved 96% accuracy, a seizure recall of 70%, an F1-score of 0.12, and an ROC-AUC score of 78%. The baseline LSTM struggled with effectiveness at 53% accuracy with a seizure recall of 18%. In contrast, the LSTM model, which incorporated synthetic minority oversampling technique (SMOTE) balancing, was able to reach improvements of up to 89% accuracy, with a precision of 91%, a recall of 86%, an F1-score of 0.89, and a strong ROC curve performance. Among the models, the LSTM with SMOTE was the best performer, with 89% accuracy, 91% precision, 86% recall, and an F1-score of 0.89. These results provide evidence that applying techniques for data balancing in combination with certain DL network architectures significantly improves the detection of seizures using wearable EEG devices worn on the body. We believe that real-time monitoring and high-performance systems are feasible using optimized DL frameworks. The analysis of the performance of different models allows for the understanding of the possibilities of optimizing the architectures of DL algorithms for the modern diagnosis of epilepsy in real time. The source code used to carry out the experiments is publicly available at CHB-MIT EEG Dataset Python Scripts (https://www.kaggle.com/code/adnankust/adnaneeg1).

Since it is one of the world's most significant financial markets, the foreign exchange (Forex) market has attracted a large number of investors. Accurately anticipating the forex trend has remained a popular but difficult issue to aid Forex traders' trading decisions. It is always a question of how precise a Forex prediction can be because of the market's tremendous complexity. The fast advancement of machine learning in recent decades has allowed artificial neural networks to be effectively adapted to several areas, including the Forex market. As a result, a slew of research articles aimed at improving the accuracy of currency forecasting has been released. The Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural network, which is a special kind of artificial neural network developed exclusively for time series data analysis, is frequently used. Due to its high learning capacity, the LSTM neural network is increasingly being utilized to predict advanced Forex trading based on previous data. This model, on the other hand, can be improved by stacking it. The goal of this study is to choose a dataset using the Hurst exponent, then use a two-layer stacked Long Short-Term Memory (TLS-LSTM) neural network to forecast the trend and conduct a correlation analysis. The Hurst exponent (h) was used to determine the predictability of the Australian Dollar and United States Dollar (AUD/USD) dataset. TLS-LSTM algorithm is presented to improve the accuracy of Forex trend prediction of Australian Dollar and United States Dollar (AUD/USD). A correlation study was performed between the AUD/USD, the Euro and the Australian Dollar (EUR/AUD), and the Australian Dollar and the Japanese Yen (AUD/JPY) to see how AUD/USD movement affects EUR/AUD and AUD/JPY. The model was compared with Single-Layer Long Short-Term (SL-LSTM), Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), and Complete Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition with Adaptive Noise–Improved Firefly Algorithm Long Short-Term Memory. Based on the evaluation metrics Mean Square Error (MSE), Root Mean Square Error, and Mean Absolute Error, the suggested TLS-LSTM, whose data selection is based on the Hurst exponent (h) value of 0.6026, outperforms SL-LSTM, MLP, and CEEMDAN-IFALSTM. The correlation analysis conducted shows both positive and negative relations between AUD/USD, EUR/AUD, and AUD/JPY which means that a change in AUD/USD will affect EUR/AUD and AUD/JPY as recorded depending on the magnitude of the correlation coefficient (r).

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.

Improving the performance of Deep Learning (DL) algorithms is a challenging problem. However, DL is applied to different types of Deep Neural Networks, and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) is one of them that deals with time series or sequential data. This paper attempts to overcome this problem by optimizing LSTM parameters using the Bees Algorithm (BA), which is a nature-inspired algorithm that mimics the foraging behavior of honey bees. In particular, it was used to optimize the adjustment factors of the learning rate in the forget, input, and output gates, in addition to cell candidate, in both forward and backward sides. Furthermore, the BA was used to optimize the learning rate factor in the fully connected layer. In this study, artificial porosity images were used for testing the algorithms; since the input data were images, a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) was added in order to extract the features in the images to feed into the LSTM for predicting the percentage of porosity in the sequential layers of artificial porosity images that mimic real CT scan images of products manufactured by the Selective Laser Melting (SLM) process. Applying a Convolutional Neural Network Long Short-Term Memory (CNN-LSTM) yielded a porosity prediction accuracy of 93.17%. Although using Bayesian Optimization (BO) to optimize the LSTM parameters mentioned previously did not improve the performance of the LSTM, as the prediction accuracy was 93%, adding the BA to optimize the same LSTM parameters did improve its performance in predicting the porosity, with an accuracy of 95.17% where a hybrid Bees Algorithm Convolutional Neural Network Long Short-Term Memory (BA-CNN-LSTM) was used. Furthermore, the hybrid BA-CNN-LSTM algorithm was capable of dealing with classification problems as well. This was shown by applying it to Electrocardiogram (ECG) benchmark images, which improved the test set classification accuracy, which was 92.50% for the CNN-LSTM algorithm and 95% for both the BO-CNN-LSTM and BA-CNN-LSTM algorithms. In addition, the turbofan engine degradation simulation numerical dataset was used to predict the Remaining Useful Life (RUL) of the engines using the LSTM network. A CNN was not needed in this case, as there was no feature extraction for the images. However, adding the BA to optimize the LSTM parameters improved the prediction accuracy in the testing set for the LSTM and BO-LSTM, which increased from 74% to 77% for the hybrid BA-LSTM algorithm.

Online leakage current classification using convolutional neural network long short-term memory for high voltage insulators on web-based service

Gait phase is an important state variable that helps exoskeletons provide assistance to users. Exoskeleton systems need to determine the assistance time and calculate the reference assistance force based on the gait phase. A large number of studies have used Finite State Machines (FSMs) or Adaptive Oscillators (AOs) to estimate gait phase. However, FSMs require manual calibration of gait events, and AOs can only estimate the phase of stable gait in real time. Both are difficult to adapt to irregular changes in gait. Deep learning algorithms can learn the nonlinear characteristics of kinematic data to estimate joint torque, gait phase, etc. The control algorithm based on Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) Neural Network can automatically detect gait events according to the joint angle collected by Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), effectively responding to dynamic changes in gait. This paper designed a Light-Weight Long Short-Term Memory (LWLSTM) Neural Network to estimate gait phase precisely and reduce training time of LSTM model. The experimental results showed that the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of LWLSTM was 8. 0 0 3 3%, quite lower than Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and AO.

In the realm of water resource management, meticulous monitoring and control methodologies are quintessential to the refinement of wastewater treatment processes. This research elucidates an avant-garde methodology for forecasting the Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), an instrumental indicator of water quality, by harnessing the capabilities of long short-term memory (LSTM) neural networks in conjunction with Internet of Things (IoT) paradigms. The efficacy of the LSTM model is juxtaposed with that of an advanced Deep Belief Network (DBN), as well as contemporary models like a Convolutional Neural Network–Long Short-Term Memory (CNN-LSTM) hybrid model and a Transformer-based model, employing data sourced from a wastewater treatment facility located in Changsha. The empirical findings show that notwithstanding the comparable training durations used, the LSTM model exhibits a preeminent error rate of merely 7%, thus surpassing the DBN model (which has an error rate of 35%), the CNN-LSTM model (registering a 22% error rate), and the Transformer-based model (with a 17% error rate) in its predictive precision. This research underscores the potential of integrating an astute wastewater control system with IoT and LSTM models, thereby hinting at prospective enhancements in the sustainability and operational efficacy of wastewater treatment installations.

Respiratory sounds are expressed as nonlinear and nonstationary signals, whose unpredictability makes it difficult to extract significant features for classification. Static cepstral coefficients such as Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs), have been used for classification of lung sound signals. However, they are modeled in high-dimensional hyperspectral space, and also lose temporal dependency information. Therefore, we propose shifted delta -cepstral coefficients in lower-subspace (SDC-L) as a novel feature for lung sound classification. It preserves temporal dependency information of multiple frames nearby same to original SDC, and improves feature extraction by reducing the hyperspectral dimension. We modified EMD algorithm by adding a stopping rule to objectively select a finite number of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs). The performances of SDC-L were evaluated with three machine learning techniques (support vector machine (SVM), k-nearest neighbor (k-NN) and random forest (RF)) and two deep learning algorithms (multilayer perceptron (MLP) and convolutional neural network (cNN)) and one hybrid deep learning algorithm combining cNN with long short term memory (LSTM) in terms of accuracy, precision, recall and F1-score. We found that the first 2 IMFs were enough to construct our feature. SVM, MLP and a hybrid deep learning algorithm (cNN plus LSTM) outperformed with SDC-L, and the other classifiers achieved equivalent results with all features. Our findings show that SDC-L is a promising feature for the classification of lung sound signals.
