Excessive withdrawal of groundwater for agricultural irrigation can cause seawater intrusion into coastal aquifers. Such a case will in turn results in deterioration of irrigation water quality. Determination of irrigation water quality with traditional methods is a time-consuming and costly process. However, machine learning algorithms can be useful tools for modeling and estimating groundwater quality used for irrigation water purposes. In this study, TDS, PS, SAR, and Cl parameters of groundwater were estimated with models based on EC and pH variables. For this purpose, prediction performances of two different deep learning methods (convolutional neural network (CNN) and deep neural network (DNN)) and two different classical machine learning (Random Forest (RF) and extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost)) methods were compared. In addition, predictive uncertainty of the models was determined by quantile regression (QR) analysis. Performance criteria and results of uncertainty analysis revealed that CNN (in testing phase, NSE = 0.95 for TDS, NSE = 0.96 for PS, NSE = 0.67 for SAR and NSE = 0.93 for CI) and DNN (in testing phase, NSE = 0.91 for TDS, NSE = 0.91 for PS, NSE = 0.57 for SAR and NSE = 0.94 for Cl) models had quite a close performance in estimation of TDS, PS, SAR, and Cl parameters and higher than the other two classical machine learning methods. As a result, the CNN model can be considered the best performing model in estimating all quality parameters due to the highest NSE and lowest RMSE values. In addition, the Taylor diagram showed that the values estimated using the CNN model had the highest correlation with the measured data. It was determined that the model with the lowest uncertainty based on the PICP statistics was DNN, followed by the CNN model. However, the CNN model has predicted outliers more accurately. Present findings proved that deep learning models could offer efficient tools for predicting irrigation water quality parameters.

Deep learning algorithms can be used to design systems that report data on patients and deliver warnings to medical applications or electronic health information if there are changes in the patient's health. These systems could be created using deep Learning. This helps verify that patients get the proper effective care at the proper time for each specific patient. A healthcare decision support system was presented using the Internet of Things and deep learning methods. In the proposed system, we examined the capability of integrating deep learning technology into automatic diagnosis and IoT capabilities for faster message exchange over the Internet. We have selected the suitable Neural Network structure (number of best-hidden layers and activation function classes) to construct the e-health system. In addition, the e-health system relied on data from doctors to understand the Neural Network. In the validation method, the total evaluation of the proposed healthcare system for diagnostics provides dependability under various patient conditions. Based on evaluation and simulation findings, a dual hidden layer of feed-forward NN and its neurons store the tanh function more effectively than other NN. To overcome challenges, this study will integrate artificial intelligence with IoT. This study aims to determine the NN's optimal layer counts and activation function variations.

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a clinical condition characterized by a decline in cognitive ability and progression of cognitive impairment. It is often considered a transitional stage between normal aging and Alzheimer's disease (AD). This study aimed to compare deep learning (DL) and traditional machine learning (ML) methods in predicting MCI using plasma proteomic biomarkers. A total of 239 adults were selected from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) cohort along with a pool of 146 plasma proteomic biomarkers. We evaluated seven traditional ML models (support vector machines (SVMs), logistic regression (LR), naïve Bayes (NB), random forest (RF), k-nearest neighbor (KNN), gradient boosting machine (GBM), and extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost)) and six variations of a deep neural network (DNN) model-the DL model in the H2O package. Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) selected 35 proteomic biomarkers from the pool. Based on grid search, the DNN model with an activation function of "Rectifier With Dropout" with 2 layers and 32 of 35 selected proteomic biomarkers revealed the best model with the highest accuracy of 0.995 and an F1 Score of 0.996, while among seven traditional ML methods, XGBoost was the best with an accuracy of 0.986 and an F1 Score of 0.985. Several biomarkers were correlated with the APOE-ε4 genotype, polygenic hazard score (PHS), and three clinical cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers (Aβ42, tTau, and pTau). Bioinformatics analysis using Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) revealed several molecular functions and pathways associated with the selected biomarkers, including cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, cholesterol metabolism, and regulation of lipid localization. The results showed that the DL model may represent a promising tool in the prediction of MCI. These plasma proteomic biomarkers may help with early diagnosis, prognostic risk stratification, and early treatment interventions for individuals at risk for MCI.

Automated image classification is an essential task of the computer vision field. The tagging of images into a set of predefined groups is referred to as image classification. The implementation of computer vision to automate image classification would be beneficial because manual image evaluation and identification can be time-consuming, particularly when there are many images of different classes. Deep learning approaches are proven to overperform existing machine learning techniques in many fields in recent years, and computer vision is one of the most notable examples. The very deep neural network (VDCNN) is a powerful deep learning model for image classification, and this paper examines it briefly using MNIST handwritten digit dataset. This dataset is used to prove the efficacy of very deep neural networks over other deep learning models. The proposed study aims to comprehend the very deep neural network architecture used to accomplish a handwritten digit recognition task. The feasibility of the proposed model is evaluated using mean accuracy, validation accuracy, and standard deviation. The study results of the very deep neural network model are compared to a convolutional neural network and convolutional neural network with batch normalization. According to the results of the comparison study, very deep neural networks achieve high accuracy of 99.1% for a handwritten dataset. The outcome of the proposed work is used to interpret how well a very deep neural network performs when compared to the other two models of deep neural networks. This proposed architecture may be used to automate the classification of handwritten digits dataset.

We address the Lithuanian author profiling task in two dimensions (AGE and GENDER) using two deep learning methods (i.e., Long Short-Term Memory - LSTM) and Convolutional Neural Network - CNN) applied on the top of Lithuanian neural word embeddings. We also investigate an impact of the training dataset size on the author profiling accuracy. The best results are achieved with the largest datasets, containing 5,000 instances in each class. Besides, LSTM was more effective on the smaller datasets, and CNN - on the larger ones. We compare the deep learning methods with the traditional machine learning methods (in particular, Naive Bayes Multinomial and Support Vector Machine), and frequencies of elements as the feature representation). The comparison revealed that the deep learning is not the best solution for our author profiling task.

This review paper examines the current state of lung disease diagnosis based on deep learning (DL) methods. Lung diseases, such as Pneumonia, TB, Covid-19, and lung cancer, are significant causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Accurate and timely diagnosis of these diseases is essential for effective treatment and improved patient outcomes. DL methods, which utilize artificial neural networks to extract features from medical images automatically, have shown great promise in improving the accuracy and efficiency of lung disease diagnosis. This review discusses the various DL methods that have been developed for lung disease diagnosis, including convolutional neural networks (CNNs), deep neural networks (DNNs), and generative adversarial networks (GANs). The advantages and limitations of each method are discussed, along with the types of medical imaging techniques used, such as X-ray and computed tomography (CT). In addition, the review discusses the most commonly used performance metrics for evaluating the performance of DL for lung disease diagnosis: the area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, F1-score, accuracy, precision, and the receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC). Moreover, the challenges and limitations of using DL for lung disease diagnosis, including the limited availability of annotated data, the variability in imaging techniques and disease presentation, and the interpretability and generalizability of DL models, are highlighted in this paper. Furthermore, strategies to overcome these challenges, such as transfer learning, data augmentation, and explainable AI, are also discussed. The review concludes with a call for further research to address the remaining challenges and realize DL's full potential for improving lung disease diagnosis and treatment.

The superiority of various Deep Neural Networks (DNN) models, such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN), and Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN), has been proven in various real-world applications and has received much attention. However, different DNN models include various types of operations. For example, CNN models are usually composed of convolutional layers (Conv) and fully-connected layers (FC). Furthermore, some light CNN models such as MobileNet adopt depthwise separable convolution with depthwise convolution (DWC) and pointwise convolution (PWC) to compress the models. In addition to regular convolution, de-convolution (De-Conv) is also widely used in many GAN models. Moreover, many RNN models also employ long-short-term memory (LSTM) to control update of internal states and data. Such a high diversity of various DNN operations poses great design challenges in implementing reconfigurable Deep Learning (DL) accelerators, which can support various types of DNN operations. Most recent DL accelerators focus only on some DNN operations, which lacks computing flexibility. In this paper, by exploiting the sparsity in current DNN models, we design sparsity-aware DL hardware accelerators that can support efficient computation of various DNN operations, including Conv, DeConv, DWC, PWC, FC, and LSTM. Through reconfiguring dataflow and parallelizing different operations, the proposed designs not only improve system performance but also increase hardware utilization with a significant reduction of power consumption in memory accesses and arithmetic computations.

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.

Deep learning is being incorporated in many modern software systems. Deep learning approaches train a deep neural network (DNN) model using training examples, and then use the DNN model for prediction. While the structure of a DNN model as layers is observable, the model is treated in its entirety as a monolithic component. To change the logic implemented by the model, e.g. to add/remove logic that recognizes inputs belonging to a certain class, or to replace the logic with an alternative, the training examples need to be changed and the DNN needs to be retrained using the new set of examples. We argue that decomposing a DNN into DNN modules— akin to decomposing a monolithic software code into modules—can bring the benefits of modularity to deep learning. In this work, we develop a methodology for decomposing DNNs for multi-class problems into DNN modules. For four canonical problems, namely MNIST, EMNIST, FMNIST, and KMNIST, we demonstrate that such decomposition enables reuse of DNN modules to create different DNNs, enables replacement of one DNN module in a DNN with another without needing to retrain. The DNN models formed by composing DNN modules are at least as good as traditional monolithic DNNs in terms of test accuracy for our problems.

Due to the complexity of medical images, traditional medical image classification methods have been unable to meet actual application needs. In recent years, the rapid development of deep learning theory has provided a technical approach for solving medical image classification tasks. However, deep learning has the following problems in medical image classification. First, it is impossible to construct a deep learning model hierarchy for medical image properties; second, the network initialization weights of deep learning models are not well optimized. Therefore, this paper starts from the perspective of network optimization and improves the nonlinear modeling ability of the network through optimization methods. A new network weight initialization method is proposed, which alleviates the problem that existing deep learning model initialization is limited by the type of the nonlinear unit adopted and increases the potential of the neural network to handle different visual tasks. Moreover, through an in‐depth study of the multicolumn convolutional neural network framework, this paper finds that the number of features and the convolution kernel size at different levels of the convolutional neural network are different. In contrast, the proposed method can construct different convolutional neural network models that adapt better to the characteristics of the medical images of interest and thus can better train the resulting heterogeneous multicolumn convolutional neural networks. Finally, using the adaptive sliding window fusion mechanism proposed in this paper, both methods jointly complete the classification task of medical images. Based on the above ideas, this paper proposes a medical classification algorithm based on a weight initialization/sliding window fusion for multilevel convolutional neural networks. The methods proposed in this study were applied to breast mass, brain tumor tissue, and medical image database classification experiments. The results show that the proposed method not only achieves a higher average accuracy than that of traditional machine learning and other deep learning methods but also is more stable and more robust.

Forecasting solar power is essential for increasing solar power plants' competitiveness in the energy market and reducing reliance on fossil fuels for social and economic advancement. The novel method of forecasting solar Photovoltaic (PV) power output through the use of deep learning and machine learning techniques specifically, Deep Neural Network (DNN) and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models is presented in this research. To anticipate solar energy generation, our technique uses pertinent weather characteristics and historical PV power data as inputs. Although several PV power forecasting models in the literature have varying degrees of accuracy, our CNN and DNN models provide a clear benefit by obtaining important features from raw local data. With this skill, precise short-term projections of solar PV power output from a few hours to several days-can be made. In addition, the integration of naive seasonal forecasting with CNN and DNN models improves the precision of short-term power generation forecasts by identifying complex dependencies and periodic patterns in the data. All things considered, our suggested method offers a viable way to raise the accuracy and efficiency of solar energy forecasting, which will help the energy industry embrace sustainable energy sources more widely.

In 5G networks, the Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) significantly affects mobile network performance.The base station is responsible for detecting the preamble by calculating the correlation among predefined PRACH preamble sequences, which are essential for successful communication.However, this traditional method presents challenges, as it is computationally complex and resource-intensive.Additionally, inaccuracies in threshold settings can lead to increased energy consumption, primarily due to issues such as preamble collisions and the need for retransmissions.This paper explores the potential of replacing the current detection method with a deep-learning model to improve the efficiency of PRACH preamble detection.Experiments were conducted by varying the layers of Deep Neural Networks (DNN) and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) across four different SNR environments to evaluate their performance in detecting PRACH preambles.As a result, the DNN model, in particular, demonstrated high accuracy, averaging between 97.3% and 99.8%.Moreover, in low SNR environments, the DNN model exhibited a notable convergence speed reduction of up to 3.22 times with increased layers.Meanwhile, the CNN model demonstrated that employing fewer convolution layers led to a convergence speed that was 2.14 times faster in terms of loss values.These findings indicate that the design approaches for DNN and CNN models in PRACH preamble detection differ, potentially improving the initial access procedure through tailored strategies.

Traditional machine learning methods like GLCM and ABCD rules have long been employed for image classification tasks. However, they come with inherent limitations, primarily the need for manual feature extraction. This manual feature extraction process is time-consuming and relies on expert domain knowledge, making it challenging for non-experts to use effectively. Deep learning methods, specifically Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), have revolutionized image classification by automating the feature extraction. CNNs can learn hierarchical features directly from the raw pixel values, eliminating the need for manual feature engineering. Despite their powerful capabilities, CNNs have limitations, mainly when working with small image datasets. They may overfit the data or struggle to generalize effectively. In light of these considerations, this study adopts a hybrid approach that leverages the strengths of both deep learning and traditional machine learning. CNNs are automatic feature extractors, allowing the model to capture meaningful image patterns. These extracted features are then fed into a Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier, known for its efficiency and effectiveness in handling small datasets. The results of this study are encouraging, with an accuracy of 0.94 and an AUC score of 0.94. Notably, these metrics outperform Abbas' previous research by a significant margin, underscoring the effectiveness of the hybrid CNN-SVM approach. This research reinforces that SVM classifiers are well-suited for tasks involving limited image data, yielding improved classification accuracy and highlighting the potential for broader applications in image analysis.

BackgroundSuicide is an important public health concern in the United States and around the world. There has been significant work examining machine learning approaches to identify and predict intentional self-harm and suicide using existing data sets. With recent advances in computing, deep learning applications in health care are gaining momentum.ObjectiveThis study aimed to leverage the information in clinical notes using deep neural networks (DNNs) to (1) improve the identification of patients treated for intentional self-harm and (2) predict future self-harm events.MethodsWe extracted clinical text notes from electronic health records (EHRs) of 835 patients with International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes for intentional self-harm and 1670 matched controls who never had any intentional self-harm ICD codes. The data were divided into training and holdout test sets. We tested a number of algorithms on clinical notes associated with the intentional self-harm codes using the training set, including several traditional bag-of-words–based models and 2 DNN models: a convolutional neural network (CNN) and a long short-term memory model. We also evaluated the predictive performance of the DNNs on a subset of patients who had clinical notes 1 to 6 months before the first intentional self-harm event. Finally, we evaluated the impact of a pretrained model using Word2vec (W2V) on performance.ResultsThe area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) for the CNN on the phenotyping task, that is, the detection of intentional self-harm in clinical notes concurrent with the events was 0.999, with an F1 score of 0.985. In the predictive task, the CNN achieved the highest performance with an AUC of 0.882 and an F1 score of 0.769. Although pretraining with W2V shortened the DNN training time, it did not improve performance.ConclusionsThe strong performance on the first task, namely, phenotyping based on clinical notes, suggests that such models could be used effectively for surveillance of intentional self-harm in clinical text in an EHR. The modest performance on the predictive task notwithstanding, the results using DNN models on clinical text alone are competitive with other reports in the literature using risk factors from structured EHR data.
