With the development of the Internet of Things (IoT) and virtual reality (VR) technology, the demand for high-precision gesture intelligent analysis of a human–machine interaction module for IoT–VR systems is increasing. Therefore, random forest (RF) and convolution neural network (CNN) algorithms are used in this study to build an intelligent gesture recognition model. The experiments were conducted to test the application performance of the design model. The test results show that the qualification rate of the analytical model designed in this study is significantly higher than that of the comparative model. When the threshold is determined to be 43.26 mm, the analytical qualification rates of the RF-CNN (the method of combining RF with CNN algorithms), faster regions with CNN features (Faster-RCNN), and RF models are 82.41%, 76.10%, and 59.10%, respectively. The calculation time of the RF–CNN model is between the two comparative models. From the test data, it can be observed that the research results have certain significance for improving the accuracy of gesture machine recognition technology in China’s VR Internet of Things (IoT) system.

In the field of medicine, with the introduction of computer systems that can collect and analyze massive amounts of data, many non-invasive diagnostic methods are being developed for a variety of conditions. In this study, our aim is to develop a non-invasive method of classifying respiratory sounds that are recorded by an electronic stethoscope and the audio recording software that uses various machine learning algorithms.In order to store respiratory sounds on a computer, we developed a cost-effective and easy-to-use electronic stethoscope that can be used with any device. Using this device, we recorded 17,930 lung sounds from 1630 subjects.We employed two types of machine learning algorithms; mel frequency cepstral coefficient (MFCC) features in a support vector machine (SVM) and spectrogram images in the convolutional neural network (CNN). Since using MFCC features with a SVM algorithm is a generally accepted classification method for audio, we utilized its results to benchmark the CNN algorithm. We prepared four data sets for each CNN and SVM algorithm to classify respiratory audio: (1) healthy versus pathological classification; (2) rale, rhonchus, and normal sound classification; (3) singular respiratory sound type classification; and (4) audio type classification with all sound types. Accuracy results of the experiments were; (1) CNN 86%, SVM 86%, (2) CNN 76%, SVM 75%, (3) CNN 80%, SVM 80%, and (4) CNN 62%, SVM 62%, respectively.As a result, we found out that spectrogram image classification with CNN algorithm works as well as the SVM algorithm, and given the large amount of data, CNN and SVM machine learning algorithms can accurately classify and pre-diagnose respiratory audio.

Nowadays, the information processing capabilities and resource storage capabilities of computers have been greatly improved, which also provides support for the neural network technology. Convolutional neural networks have good characterization capabilities in computer vision tasks, such as image recognition technology. Aiming at the problem of high similarity image recognition and classification in a specific field, this paper proposes a high similarity image recognition and classification algorithm fused with convolutional neural networks. First, we extract the image texture features, train different types, and different resolution image sets and determine the optimal texture different parameter values. Second, we decompose the image into subimages according to the texture difference, extract the energy features of each subimage, and perform classification. Then, the input image feature vector is converted into a one-dimensional vector through the alternating 5-layer convolution and 3-layer pooling of convolutional neural networks. On this basis, different sizes of convolution kernels are used to extract different convolutions of the image features, and then use convolution to achieve the feature fusion of different dimensional convolutions. Finally, through the increase in the number of training and the increase in the amount of data, the network parameters are continuously optimized to improve the classification accuracy in the training set and in the test set. The actual accuracy of the weights is verified, and the convolutional neural network model with the highest classification accuracy is obtained. In the experiment, two image data sets of gems and apples are selected as the experimental data to classify and identify gems and determine the origin of apples. The experimental results show that the average identification accuracy of the algorithm is more than 90%.

Hoax news is a serious problem in this era. Many people are easily led by opinions made by certain people without seeing the truth or looking for existing facts. To overcome this, many researchers have conducted hoax news detection using various algorithms.

The discussion of "can machines think?" which started with the invention of the modern computer, brought along the question of "can machines design?" by researchers in the design field. These developments in information technologies have also affected the architecture. Artificial intelligence applications are encountered in many areas such as pricing estimation, energy conservation security systems of buildings, ventilation systems, user-oriented interactive design solutions, computer-aided programs used in the plan production phase and design process. When the literature on artificial intelligence applications in the architecture is reviewed, it can be seen that it generally includes shape grammars, graph theory, decision trees, constraint-based models, machine learning methods, RNN (Recursive Neural Networks), CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) and GAN (Generative Adversarial Network) algorithms. In this study, the use of artificial intelligence algorithms in architecture was examined, and an example was designed to determine the architectural structures of different periods by using CNN (Convolutional Neural Network). In the study, the open source TensorFlow library developed by Google and the Python programming language were used. Employing a statistical approach and utilizing convolutional neural networks (CNNs), a study has successfully classified the current flow patterns of buildings based on datasets comprising facades of Gothic, Modern, and Deconstructivist architectural styles. The findings demonstrate the efficacy of CNNs in accurately distinguishing the intricate details of diverse architectural styles. Recognizing elements from different periods using the CNN algorithm can examine not only individual buildings but also the relationship of buildings with their environments. It can also gain an important place in the field of conservation of the architectural discipline. The historical processes, aesthetic features and changes of protected buildings can be learned with the CNN algorithm and can guide restoration decisions. As a result of the study, the employed CNN-based model can correctly classify structures with 84.66% accuracy rate.

In the realm of computer vision, image classification is a critical issue with many applications, including multimedia content analysis, security and surveillance, and medical imaging. The accuracy of image classification algorithms has considerably increased with the development of deep learning. The discipline of image classification has dramatically benefited from the usage of pre-trained Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models. In this study, we perform image classification on the Wang dataset composed of 1000 images separated into ten categories, using six different pre-trained CNN models. The research made use of pre-trained versions of VGG16, Densenet, Mobilenet, Inception V3, Resnet50, and Xception models. We assessed the model performances in terms of training and testing accuracy. Testing accuracies for ten unique batches of data were calculated and averaged out. Densenet outperformed state-of-the-art models like Xception by a small margin, mainly due to low data availability. The findings of this study show how pre-trained models have advanced the field of image classification and shed light on how well these models perform in diverse image classification tasks. This study can serve as a valuable reference for researchers and practitioners in the field of computer vision and deep learning and help inform their choices when selecting pre-trained models for image classification, depending on their needs, while also considering data availability and computational constraints.

Facial recognition systems, which are a type of biometric systems, use the person’s facial features to identify people, and determine the information in the position between the eyes, nose, cheekbones, jawline, chin and the like and reveal a personal numerical model. The main purpose of this study is to determine the gender and age group of a selected image. By making necessary studies on the image, it is aimed to separate the gender of the person and to extract child or adult information. This study is proposed as research that performs noise reduction using the fuzzy logic fire filter algorithm and classifies the result by gender using a convolutional neural network (CNN), matrix completion and deep learning techniques. CNN algorithm, which is one of the deep facial recognition algorithms that can be used in the recognition of facial images, is the algorithm used in the study. In this study, the data obtained after the cleaning of the noises in the photographs were classified. The fuzzy logic fire filter algorithm is used to remove the noise in the image, and the image is classified according to gender and age range with the help of CNN and TensorFlow algorithms. The system has been trained using certain learning and test data sets and these algorithms. The image entered into the system is converted into a matrix expression and compared with the matrix expressions on the trained system. According to the comparison result, the image is classified as male, female, boy or girl, which matrix is closer to the value group. The data we obtained as a result of our work and the success rates show the applicability of the study. The main purpose of the study is to make gender and age group estimations according to the image with CNN classifications.

Among the many deep learning methods, the convolutional neural network (CNN) model has an excellent performance in image recognition. Research on identifying and classifying image datasets using CNN is ongoing. Animal species recognition and classification with CNN is expected to be helpful for various applications. However, sophisticated feature recognition is essential to classify quasi-species with similar features, such as the quasi-species of parrots that have a high color similarity. The purpose of this study is to develop a vision-based mobile application to classify endangered parrot species using an advanced CNN model based on transfer learning (some parrots have quite similar colors and shapes). We acquired the images in two ways: collecting them directly from the Seoul Grand Park Zoo and crawling them using the Google search. Subsequently, we have built advanced CNN models with transfer learning and trained them using the data. Next, we converted one of the fully trained models into a file for execution on mobile devices and created the Android package files. The accuracy was measured for each of the eight CNN models. The overall accuracy for the camera of the mobile device was 94.125%. For certain species, the accuracy of recognition was 100%, with the required time of only 455 ms. Our approach helps to recognize the species in real time using the camera of the mobile device. Applications will be helpful for the prevention of smuggling of endangered species in the customs clearance area.

Existing segmentation and augmentation techniques on convolutional neural network (CNN) has produced remarkable progress in object detection. However, the nominal accuracy and performance might be downturned with the photometric variation of images that are directly ignored in the training process, along with the context of the individual CNN algorithm. In this paper, we investigate the effect of a photometric variation like brightness and sharpness on different CNN. We observe that random augmentation of images weakens the performance unless the augmentation combines the weak limits of photometric variation. Our approach has been justified by the experimental result obtained from the PASCAL VOC 2007 dataset, with object detection CNN algorithms such as YOLOv3 (You Only Look Once), Faster R-CNN (Region-based CNN), and SSD (Single Shot Multibox Detector). Each CNN model shows performance loss for varying sharpness and brightness, ranging between −80% to 80%. It was further shown that compared to random augmentation, the augmented dataset with weak photometric changes delivered high performance, but the photometric augmentation range differs for each model. Concurrently, we discuss some research questions that benefit the direction of the study. The results prove the importance of adaptive augmentation for individual CNN model, subjecting towards the robustness of object detection.

Convolutional neural network-based wind pressure prediction on low-rise buildings

Accurately identifying epileptogenic zone (EZ) using high-frequency oscillations (HFOs) is a challenge that must be mastered to transfer HFOs into clinical use. We analyzed the ability of a convolutional neural network (CNN) model to distinguish EZ and non-EZ HFOs. Nineteen medically intractable epilepsy patients with good surgical outcomes 2 years after surgery were studied. Five-minute interictal intracranial electroencephalogram epochs of slow-wave sleep were selected randomly. Then 5 s segments of ripples (80–200 Hz) and fast ripples (FRs, 200–500 Hz) were detected automatically. The EZs and non-EZs were identified using the surgery resection range. We innovatively converted all epochs into four types of images using two scales: original waveforms, filtered waveforms, wavelet spectrum images, and smoothed pseudo Wigner–Ville distribution (SPWVD) spectrum images. Two scales were fixed and fitted scales. We then used a CNN model to classify the HFOs into EZ and non-EZ categories. As a result, 7,000 epochs of ripples and 2,000 epochs of FRs were randomly selected from the EZ and non-EZ data for analysis. Our CNN model can distinguish EZ and non-EZ HFOs successfully. Except for original ripple waveforms, the results from CNN models that are trained using fixed-scale images are significantly better than those from models trained using fitted-scale images (p < 0.05). Of the four fixed-scale transformations, the CNN based on the adjusted SPWVD (ASPWVD) produced the best accuracies (80.89 ± 1.43% and 77.85 ± 1.61% for ripples and FRs, respectively, p < 0.05). The CNN using ASPWVD transformation images is an effective deep learning method that can be used to classify EZ and non-EZ HFOs.
