Based on the evaluation results and the results of testing the new data input, the model produced by the CNN method is better than the model produced by the LSTM method.

Due to the continuous growth and advancement of technology, an enormous volume of text data is generated daily across various sources including social media platforms, websites, search engines, healthcare records, and news articles. Extracting meaningful patterns from text data, such as viewpoints, related theories, journal distribution, facts, and the development of online news text, is a challenging task due to the varying lengths of the texts. One issue arises from the length of the text data itself, and another challenge lies in extracting valuable features, especially in news articles. In the deep learning models, the convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are capable of capturing local features in text data, but unable to capture the structural information or semantic relationships between words. Consequently, a sole CNN network often yields poor performance in text classification tasks, whereas the Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) is adept at effectively extracting semantic information and understanding the global structural relationships present in textual data. This paper presents a solution to the problem by introducing a new text classification that integrates the strengths of CNN and GRU. The proposed hybrid models incorporate word vectorization and word dispersion in parallel. Initially, the model trains word vectors using the Word2vec model and then leverages the GRU model to capture semantic information from text sentences. Subsequently, the CNN method is employed to capture crucial semantic features, leading to classification using the SoftMax layer. Experimental findings demonstrated that the proposed hybrid GRU_CNN model outperformed and achieved accuracy 97.73% as compared to individual CNN, LSTM, and GRU models in terms of classification effectiveness and accuracy.

This study aims to compare the effectiveness of two deep learning models, namely Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and combined CNN with Gated Recurrent Unit (CNN-GRU), in predicting Petrobras stock prices. Using historical stock price data from Yahoo Finance for the period 2017-2023, this study evaluates the performance of both models based on several evaluation metrics. The results showed that the CNN-GRU model outperformed the pure CNN model in all evaluation metrics, with an increase in RMSE value of 4.17% and an increase in R² value of 0.47% on the test data. The CNN-GRU model achieved 96.14% accuracy on the test data, while the CNN model achieved 96.04%. These findings indicate that the integration of CNN's feature extraction capabilities with GRU's temporal dependency modeling capabilities can improve stock price prediction accuracy. This research contributes to the computational finance literature by presenting an in-depth comparative analysis of the application of hybrid deep learning architectures in stock market prediction.

Some researchers propose using the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) method to classified batik images. It can extract features automatically without the need to define feature manually from the image. However, CNN’s weakness is that its accuracy is quite low, especially for small-sized datasets, compared to machine learning methods that use handcrafted feature extraction. In this research, an ensemble CNN method is proposed to improve the accuracy of the CNN method in classifying batik images. This method will train several CNN models at once, and then by voting and averaging techniques, the output label will be determined. Test results for two different datasets show this method can improve the accuracy of the CNN method and get an accuracy value of 100%. This method is also proven to extract features faster than the state-of-the-art method like MTCD+SVM, which is included in the hand-crafted feature extraction category.

Understanding the learning mechanism of convolutional neural networks in spectral analysis

Brain Computer Interface (BCI) is a system that connects the human brain with the outside world for people who have motor skills disability problems. One form of utilization is the P300 speller which is used for character recognition or detection by classifying the P300 signal. The Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) method is a deep learning method that can be used to handle signal problems with ID-CNN. At the initial stage the data signal will be transformed and followed by a duplication process using RandomOverSampling because the amount of data in each class is not balanced. The data will be divided into training, validation, and test data. After that, a training with CNN will be conducted and followed by an evaluation to find the best model. The test results from this study are a good-fitting CNN model with an evaluation value consisting of an accuracy of 94.27%, precision of 90.64%, sensitivity / recall of 98.30%, and f-measure of 94.31%. Based on the test, the CNN method can be used and implemented in authentication detection based on the P300 signal.

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.

Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is a deep learning algorithm that is widely used to identify and classify a digital image object. In this study the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is used as an algorithm that functions to identify leaf types (certain plants) based on images obtained from a public dataset provider named Daun Jamu Indonesia. The existence of image characteristics causes the assistance process to require a more detailed feature selection process. Therefore the CNN method is used in order to solve the problem. The Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) method is capable of performing image recognition by minimizing feature extraction. CNN is also reliable in processing unstructured data because it uses a multi-layered structure of artificial reasoning networks. The image recognition process is carried out by looking for the shape of the model that matches the processed data in order to get the best results. In this study, the augmentation process was carried out on the training data and validation data so that overfitting does not occur in the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). The results obtained in this study indicate that the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) method can identify leaf types with a measured accuracy rate of 92% using the Confusion Matrix evaluation method. It is hoped that this research can be used as a reference for the use of the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) method for image data, especially plant leaf types.

Distinguishing pericarpium citri reticulatae of different origins using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy combined with convolutional neural networks

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.

Characterization and identification of asphalt mixtures based on Convolutional Neural Network methods using X-ray scanning images

This study leveraged Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models to estimate canopy height in Southeast Australian forests before and after the 2019–2020 bushfire event, using inputs from Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2, spectral indices, and terrain features and GEDI canopy height (rh99) as target variables. Our research consisted of three primary objectives: (1) an evaluation of GEDI rh99 canopy height in relation to an nDSM derived from airborne LiDAR, (2) the development of two CNN models for pre- and post-fire scenarios, and (3) utilizing the trained CNN models to generate pre- and post-fire canopy height maps and canopy height change maps across the continuous landscape. GEDI rh99 accuracy analysis revealed R 2 = 0.85, RMSE = 7.25 m and nRMSE = 0.23 for pre-fire GEDI and R 2 = 0.78, RMSE = 10.1 m and nRMSE = 0.3 for post-fire GEDI. The pre-fire CNN model achieved R 2 = 0.75, RMSE = 7.29 m and nRMSE = 0.22, and post-fire CNN model achieved R 2 = 0.62, RMSE = 11.67 m, and nRMSE = 0.34 when validated against nDSM. Bias analysis was conducted, revealing that GEDI rh99 underestimated nDSM across all canopy height ranges, and slope has no significant impact on GEDI accuracy. Notably, post-fire GEDI rh99 exhibited significant underestimation in high to extreme fire severity. The CNN models’ prediction displayed overestimation in short forests < 20 m and increasing underestimation in taller forests > 20 m and underestimation in high and extreme fire severity. Subsequent investigation indicated that canopy layer thinning in high fire severity conditions resulted in weak GEDI waveform signals and consequent bias. Additionally, the GEDI rh99 bias was propagated to the CNN models, together with insensitivity of spectral band values to canopy height in dense and burnt forests potentially contributed to models’ bias. Finally, we demonstrated CNN models’ ability to monitor forest recovery by generating canopy height maps spanning East Gippsland from 2019 to 2023.

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Outdoor ultrafine particles (UFP; 100 nm) and black carbon (BC) vary greatly within cities and may have adverse impacts on human health such as cardiovascular mortality and brain tumour incidence. Traditional regression methods for estimating spatial distributions of ambient air pollution depend on extensive, curated geospatial information system databases. This has resulted in a disparity wherein little is known about local air pollution in the data-sparse settings of low- and middle- income countries. We used a hybrid approach to develop new models to estimate within-city spatial variations in outdoor UFP and BC concentrations across Bucaramanga, Colombia. METHODS: We conducted a large-scale mobile monitoring campaign over twenty days in 2019. Land use regression (LUR) models were developed using land use parameters from curated and open-source databases. Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models were developed using Google Maps satellite view and street view images. Combined models were developed by combining predictions from the LUR and CNN models. After training in the training and validation sets, predictions were generated in the test set and compared to measured values. RESULTS:The combined UFP model (R2=0.54) outperformed the CNN (R2=0.47) and land use regression (LUR) models (R2=0.47) on their own. Similarly, the combined BC model also outperformed the CNN and LUR BC models (R2 = 0.51 vs 0.43 and 0.45 respectively). Spatial variations in model performance were more stable for the CNN and combined models compared to the LUR models suggesting that the combined approach may be less likely to contribute to differential exposure measurement error in epidemiological studies. CONCLUSIONS:Estimates from these models can then be applied to population-based cohorts in order to evaluate population health risks. Additionally, our findings demonstrated that satellite and street-level images can be combined with a traditional LUR modelling approach to improve predictions of within-city spatial variations in outdoor UFP and BC concentrations.

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.

The main goal of this research was to accurately diagnose diseases in pepper plants using convolutional neural network (CNN) models and visual parameters features. Thus, we aimed to build a computing system that can utilise visual cues to identify plant diseases with almost 100% reliability. A total of 2,200 images were trained and tested on a dataset, which was divided into healthy leaves and those with bacterial ailments. The images were preprocessed, resized to 300x300 pixels, and then segmented to extract the relevant traits from them. This CNN model, in a word, is accurate because it detects diseases with 99.65% accuracy. If we want to speak of a high accuracy rate, that's the CNN model. It learns to identify the intricate patterns and features in pepper plants that are associated with diseases. CNN can make revolutionary changes to the identification of plant diseases and help prevent crop damage through timely treatments. Automatic identification of the disease makes life easier for both agriculturists and scientists. The results underscore the importance of image preprocessing, segmentation, and feature extraction in improving the ability of CNN models to locate diseases. Additionally, the performance of the CNN model was compared with other machine learning models such as KNN, Decision Tree, ANN, and Random Forest. It was found that the developed CNN model can predict the response with greater accuracy than the others. Modern high-tech precision farming systems might utilise proposed CNN models for plant disease diagnosis.
