Abstract In the speech recognition system, the acoustic model is an important underlying model, and its accuracy directly affects the performance of the entire system. This paper introduces the construction and training process of the acoustic model in detail and studies the Connectionist temporal classification (CTC) algorithm, which plays an important role in the end-to-end framework, established a convolutional neural network (CNN) combined with an acoustic model of Connectionist temporal classification to improve the accuracy of speech recognition. This study uses a sound sensor, ReSpeaker Mic Array v2.0.1, to convert the collected speech signals into text or corresponding speech signals to… More >

Abstract Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodevelopmental impairment that results in a person’s behavior, thinking, and memory loss. The most common symptoms of AD are losing memory and early aging. In addition to these, there are several serious impacts of AD. However, the impact of AD can be mitigated by early-stage detection though it cannot be cured permanently. Early-stage detection is the most challenging task for controlling and mitigating the impact of AD. The study proposes a predictive model to detect AD in the initial phase based on machine learning and a deep learning approach to address the issue. To build… More >

Abstract Human Action Recognition (HAR) in uncontrolled environments targets to recognition of different actions from a video. An effective HAR model can be employed for an application like human-computer interaction, health care, person tracking, and video surveillance. Machine Learning (ML) approaches, specifically, Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models had been widely used and achieved impressive results through feature fusion. The accuracy and effectiveness of these models continue to be the biggest challenge in this field. In this article, a novel feature optimization algorithm, called improved Shark Smell Optimization (iSSO) is proposed to reduce the redundancy of extracted features. This proposed technique is… More >

Abstract A precise and timely forecast of short-term rail transit passenger flow provides data support for traffic management and operation, assisting rail operators in efficiently allocating resources and timely relieving pressure on passenger safety and operation. First, the passenger flow sequence models in the study are broken down using VMD for noise reduction. The objective environment features are then added to the characteristic factors that affect the passenger flow. The target station serves as an additional spatial feature and is mined concurrently using the KNN algorithm. It is shown that the hybrid model VMD-CLSMT has a higher prediction accuracy, by setting… More >

Abstract Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have achieved high accuracy in image classification tasks, however, most existing models are trained on high-quality images that are not subject to image degradation. In practice, images are often affected by various types of degradation which can significantly impact the performance of CNNs. In this work, we investigate the influence of image degradation on three typical image classification CNNs and propose a Degradation Type Adaptive Image Classification Model (DTA-ICM) to improve the existing CNNs’ classification accuracy on degraded images. The proposed DTA-ICM comprises two key components: a Degradation Type Predictor (DTP) and a Degradation Type… More >

Abstract Pattern recognition algorithms are commonly utilized to discover certain patterns, particularly in image-based data. Our study focuses on quasiperiodic oscillations (QPO) in celestial objects referred to as cataclysmic variables (CV). We are dealing with interestingly indistinct QPO signals, which we analyze using a power density spectrum (PDS). The confidence in detecting the latter using certain statistical approaches may come out with less significance than the truth. We work with real and simulated QPO data of a CV called MV Lyrae. Our primary statistical tool for determining confidence levels is sigma intervals. The aforementioned CV has scientifically proven QPO existence, but… More >

Abstract Aspect-based sentiment analysis aims to detect and classify the sentiment polarities as negative, positive, or neutral while associating them with their identified aspects from the corresponding context. In this regard, prior methodologies widely utilize either word embedding or tree-based representations. Meanwhile, the separate use of those deep features such as word embedding and tree-based dependencies has become a significant cause of information loss. Generally, word embedding preserves the syntactic and semantic relations between a couple of terms lying in a sentence. Besides, the tree-based structure conserves the grammatical and logical dependencies of context. In addition, the sentence-oriented word position describes… More >

Abstract As the internet of things (IoT) continues to expand rapidly, the significance of its security concerns has grown in recent years. To address these concerns, physical unclonable functions (PUFs) have emerged as valuable tools for enhancing IoT security. PUFs leverage the inherent randomness found in the embedded hardware of IoT devices. However, it has been shown that some PUFs can be modeled by attackers using machine-learning-based approaches. In this paper, a new deep learning (DL)-based modeling attack is introduced to break the resistance of complex XAPUFs. Because training DL models is a problem that falls under the category of NP-hard… More >

Abstract The rapid growth of modern vehicles with advanced technologies requires strong security to ensure customer safety. One key system that needs protection is the passive key entry system (PKES). To prevent attacks aimed at defeating the PKES, we propose a novel radio frequency (RF) fingerprinting method. Our method extracts the cepstral coefficient feature as a fingerprint of a radio frequency signal. This feature is then analyzed using a convolutional neural network (CNN) for device identification. In evaluation, we conducted experiments to determine the effectiveness of different cepstral coefficient features and the convolutional neural network-based model. Our experimental results revealed that… More >
