Thepandemic spreads exponentially and causes loss of lives. Following the outbreak of the omicron new variant of concern,forecasting and identification of the COVID-19 infection cases is very vital for government at various levels. Hence, havingknowledge of the spread at a particular point in time, swift actions can be taken by government at various levels with a view toaccordingly formulate new policies and modalities towards minimizing the trajectory of the consequences of COVID-19 pandemicto both public health and economic sectors.

Heterogeneous data have become a key issue restricting the monitoring accuracy of volcanic ash cloud and rapid application of remote sensing. In view of the characteristics of classification and heterogeneous data in volcanic ash cloud monitoring, a monitoring method of volcanic ash cloud using feature fusion, convolutional neural networks (CNN) and long short-term memory (LSTM) (FF–CNN–LSTM) is presented in this paper. In this method, firstly, the target features in image are identified by CNN and the time sequence information in text is extracted by LSTM. Secondly, the mapping relationship between text information and image features is learned by fusing image target and text high-level features, and then the identification and diffusion of volcanic ash cloud from heterogeneous data containing only image and text were performed. Finally, the presented FF–CNN–LSTM method is tested by the simulation experiment and the true heterogeneous data of Enta volcanic ash cloud case. The experimental results show that compared with the single CNN, LSTM and the simple combination between CNN and LSTM (CNN–LSTM), the presented FF–CNN–LSTM method in this paper can be fitted with less training steps and has high accuracy and low loss rate; the obtained distribution of volcanic ash cloud is clear and intuitive and has the characteristics with fewer model parameters, simple calculation and high accuracy. It also shows the feasibility and effectiveness of the presented method in volcanic ash cloud monitoring to some extent. The results reveal that the presented method can potentially contribute the monitoring of volcanic ash cloud and disaster prevention and mitigation.

Considerable attention has recently been focused on classification and regression-based convolutional neural network (CNN) and long short-term memory (LSTM) due to their excellent performance in capturing complex spatial and temporal information characteristics for structural damage identification. However, few studies have considered structural damage identification as a classification and regression problem. In addition, bridges in practical engineering are vulnerable to various environmental and vehicle loading conditions. Hence, this study proposed a new two-stage CNN–LSTM configuration for bridge damage identification using vibration data considering the influence of temperatures. First, a classification-based CNN–LSTM is designed to perform multiclass damage detection tasks, and then a regression-based CNN–LSTM is developed for damage localization and severity prediction tasks. The performance of the proposed damage identification method was evaluated through a simulation dataset of a concrete highway bridge model and a field experiment dataset of Z24-bridge (Switzerland). In addition, a set of statistical evaluation metrics such as sparse categorical cross-entropy loss, accuracy, confusion matrix, mean squared loss, mean absolute error, mean absolute percentage error, and coefficient of determination were used to compare the damage identification performance of the proposed CNN–LSTM configuration with a regular CNN model and conventional machine learning (ML) algorithms. Prediction results indicate that the proposed CNN–LSTM model outperforms the regular CNN model and conventional ML algorithms for bridge damage identification.

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.

This paper proposes a multi-layered anomaly detection scheme to train feature extraction and to test anomaly prediction by using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) layer, Bidirectional and Unidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), which is one of a novel deep architecture named stacked convolutional bidirectional LSTM network (SCB-LSTM). In the proposed model, the stacked CNNs perform feature extraction of vibration sensor signal patterns, and the result is used to feature learning with the stacked bidirectional LSTMs (SB-LSTMs). After this procedure, the stacked unidirectional LSTMs (SU-LSTMs) enhance the feature learning, and a regression layer finally predicts anomaly detections. The experimental results of bearing data not only show the accuracy of the proposed model in anomaly detection for rotating machinery diagnostics, but also suggest the better performance than other state-of-the-art algorithms such as a plain uni-LSTM or Bi-LSTM.

This study aimed to improve apple slices’ color and drying kinetics by optimizing the hot-air drying process, utilizing machine and deep learning models. Different steam blanching times (30, 60, 90, and 120 s), drying temperatures (50, 55, 60, 65, and 70 °C), and humidity control methods (full humidity removal or temperature–humidity control) were examined. These factors significantly affected the quality of apple slices. 60 s blanching, 60 °C temperature, and full dehumidification represented the optimal drying conditions for apple slices’ dehydration, achieving better drying kinetics and the best color quality. However, the fastest drying process (40 min) was obtained at a 60 °C drying temperature combined with complete dehumidification after 90 s blanching. Furthermore, machine and deep learning models, including backpropagation (BP), convolutional neural network–long short-term memory (CNN-LSTM), temporal convolutional network (TCN), and long short-term memory (LSTM) networks, effectively predicted the moisture content and color variation in apple slices. Among these, LSTM networks demonstrated exceptional predictive performance with an R2 value exceeding 0.98, indicating superior accuracy. This study provides a scientific foundation for optimizing the drying process of apple slices and illustrates the potential application of deep learning in the agricultural processing and engineering fields.

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.

Mildew infestation is a significant cause of loss during grain storage. The growth and metabolism of mildew leads to changes in gas composition and temperature within granaries. Recent advances in sensor technology and machine learning enable the prediction of grain mildew during storage. Current research primarily focuses on predicting mildew occurrence or grading using simple machine learning methods, without in-depth exploration of the time series characteristics of mildew process data. A monitoring device was designed and developed to capture high-quality microenvironment parameters and image data during a simulated mildew process experiment. Using the “Yongyou 15” rice varieties from Zhejiang Province, five simulation experiments were conducted under varying temperature and humidity conditions between January and May 2023. Mildew grades were defined through manual analysis to construct a multimodal dataset for the rice mildew process. This study proposes a combined model (CNN–LSTM–A) that integrates convolutional neural networks (CNN), long short-term memory (LSTM) networks, and attention mechanisms to predict the mildew grade of stored rice. The proposed model was compared with LSTM, CNN–LSTM, and LSTM–Attention models. The results indicate that the proposed model outperforms the others, achieving a prediction accuracy of 98%. The model demonstrates superior accuracy and more stable performance. The generalization performance of the prediction model was evaluated using four experimental datasets with varying storage temperature and humidity conditions. The results show that the model achieves optimal prediction stability when the training set contains similar storage temperatures, with prediction accuracy exceeding 99.8%. This indicates that the model can effectively predict the mildew grades in rice under varying environmental conditions, demonstrating significant potential for grain mildew prediction and early warning systems.

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.

Lastly, we compare the CNN–LSTM model with other models, namely gradient boosting (GB), decision trees (DTs), random forests (RFs), neural networks (NNs), CNN, LSTM, and bidirectional LSTM (Bi–LSTM). The empirical results show that the CNN–LSTM model outperforms these models.

This study evaluates the performance of traditional statistical methods, specifically the Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (SARIMA), in comparison to advanced deep learning models—Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Bidirectional LSTM (BiLSTM), and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)—for wind speed forecasting across various regions in Saudi Arabia: Al-Jouf, Abha, Al-Ahsa, and Al-Dawadami. The historical wind speed dataset covering the year 2018 was utilized, with data preprocessing conducted using the Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) method to ensure consistency and quality. The models were assessed based on three primary error metrics: Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Mean Squared Error (MSE), and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE). Results show that CNN consistently outperforms SARIMA and the other deep learning models, particularly when forecasting stable wind speed patterns. LSTM demonstrates an ability to handle fluctuating wind speeds effectively, while BiLSTM offers advantages in capturing complex bidirectional temporal dependencies. On the other hand, SARIMA generally exhibits lower performance compared to deep learning approaches. The superior performance of CNN is likely attributed to its strength in local feature extraction and handling spatial patterns effectively, which are beneficial for short-term forecasting. These findings provide valuable insights into model selection for wind energy forecasting and can contribute to optimizing renewable energy integration and planning strategies. Future work may explore hybrid model approaches to further enhance forecasting accuracy.

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).

The detection of poultry egg microcracks based on electrical characteristic models is a new and effective method. However, due to the disorder, mutation, nonlinear, time discontinuity, and other factors of the current data, detection algorithms such as support-vector machines (SVM) and random forest (RF) under traditional statistical characteristics cannot identify subtle defects. The detection system voltage is set to 1500 V in the existing method, and higher voltages may cause damage to the hatched eggs; therefore, how to reduce the voltage is also a focus of research. In this paper, to address the problem of the low signal-to-noise ratio of microcracks in current signals, a wavelet scattering transform capable of extracting translation-invariant and small deformation-stable features is proposed to extract multi-scale high-frequency feature vectors. In view of the time series and low feature scale of current signals, various convolutional networks, such as a one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1DCNN), long short-term memory (LSTM), bi-directional long short-term memory (Bi-LSTM), and gated recurrent unit (GRU) are adopted. The detection algorithm of the wavelet scattering convolutional network is implemented for electrical sensing signals. The experimental results show that compared with previous works, the accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and Matthews correlation coefficient of the proposed wavelet scattering convolutional network on microcrack datasets smaller than 3 μm at a voltage of 1000 V are 99.4393%, 99.2523%, 99.6226%, 99.4357%, and 98.8819%, respectively, with an average increase of 2.0561%. In addition, the promotability and validity of the proposed detection algorithm were verified on a class-imbalanced dataset and a duck egg dataset. Based on the good results of the above experiments, further experiments were conducted with different voltages. The new feature extraction and detection method reduces the sensing voltage from 1500 V to 500 V, which allows for achieving higher detection accuracy with a lower signal-to-noise ratio, significantly reducing the risk of high voltage damage to hatching eggs and meeting the requirements for crack detection.
