Abstract The development of artificial intelligence (AI) and smart home technologies has driven the need for speech recognition-based solutions. This demand stems from the quest for more intuitive and natural interaction between users and smart devices in their homes. Speech recognition allows users to control devices and perform everyday actions through spoken commands, eliminating the need for physical interfaces or touch screens and enabling specific tasks such as turning on or off the light, heating, or lowering the blinds. The purpose of this study is to develop a speech-based classification model for recognizing human actions in the smart home. It seeks… More >

Abstract Human-human interaction recognition is crucial in computer vision fields like surveillance, human-computer interaction, and social robotics. It enhances systems’ ability to interpret and respond to human behavior precisely. This research focuses on recognizing human interaction behaviors using a static image, which is challenging due to the complexity of diverse actions. The overall purpose of this study is to develop a robust and accurate system for human interaction recognition. This research presents a novel image-based human interaction recognition method using a Hidden Markov Model (HMM). The technique employs hue, saturation, and intensity (HSI) color transformation to enhance colors in video frames,… More >

Abstract Internet of Vehicles (IoV) is a new system that enables individual vehicles to connect with nearby vehicles, people, transportation infrastructure, and networks, thereby realizing a more intelligent and efficient transportation system. The movement of vehicles and the three-dimensional (3D) nature of the road network cause the topological structure of IoV to have the high space and time complexity. Network modeling and structure recognition for 3D roads can benefit the description of topological changes for IoV. This paper proposes a 3D general road model based on discrete points of roads obtained from GIS. First, the constraints imposed by 3D roads on… More >

Abstract Human activity recognition is a recent area of research for researchers. Activity recognition has many applications in smart homes to observe and track toddlers or oldsters for their safety, monitor indoor and outdoor activities, develop Tele immersion systems, or detect abnormal activity recognition. Three dimensions (3D) skeleton data is robust and somehow view-invariant. Due to this, it is one of the popular choices for human action recognition. This paper proposed using a transversal tree from 3D skeleton data to represent videos in a sequence. Further proposed two neural networks: convolutional neural network recurrent neural network_1 (CNN_RNN_1), used to find the… More >

Abstract In recent years, cyber attacks have been intensifying and causing great harm to individuals, companies, and countries. The mining of cyber threat intelligence (CTI) can facilitate intelligence integration and serve well in combating cyber attacks. Named Entity Recognition (NER), as a crucial component of text mining, can structure complex CTI text and aid cybersecurity professionals in effectively countering threats. However, current CTI NER research has mainly focused on studying English CTI. In the limited studies conducted on Chinese text, existing models have shown poor performance. To fully utilize the power of Chinese pre-trained language models (PLMs) and conquer the problem… More >

Abstract The infrastructure and construction of roads are crucial for the economic and social development of a region, but traffic-related challenges like accidents and congestion persist. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) have been used in road infrastructure and construction, particularly with the Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Object detection in Computer Vision also plays a key role in improving road infrastructure and addressing traffic-related problems. This study aims to use You Only Look Once version 7 (YOLOv7), Convolutional Block Attention Module (CBAM), the most optimized object-detection algorithm, to detect and identify traffic signs, and analyze effective combinations of adaptive… More >

Abstract Action recognition and detection is an important research topic in computer vision, which can be divided into action recognition and action detection. At present, the distinction between action recognition and action detection is not clear, and the relevant reviews are not comprehensive. Thus, this paper summarized the action recognition and detection methods and datasets based on deep learning to accurately present the research status in this field. Firstly, according to the way that temporal and spatial features are extracted from the model, the commonly used models of action recognition are divided into the two stream models, the temporal models, the… More >

Abstract

This study aims to address the deviation in downstream tasks caused by inaccurate recognition results when applying Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) technology in the Air Traffic Control (ATC) field. This paper presents a novel cascaded model architecture, namely Conformer-CTC/Attention-T5 (CCAT), to build a highly accurate and robust ATC speech recognition model. To tackle the challenges posed by noise and fast speech rate in ATC, the Conformer model is employed to extract robust and discriminative speech representations from raw waveforms. On the decoding side, the Attention mechanism is integrated to facilitate precise alignment between input features and output characters. The Text-To-Text… More >

Abstract Speech emotion recognition is essential for frictionless human-machine interaction, where machines respond to human instructions with context-aware actions. The properties of individuals’ voices vary with culture, language, gender, and personality. These variations in speaker-specific properties may hamper the performance of standard representations in downstream tasks such as speech emotion recognition (SER). This study demonstrates the significance of speaker-specific speech characteristics and how considering them can be leveraged to improve the performance of SER models. In the proposed approach, two wav2vec-based modules (a speaker-identification network and an emotion classification network) are trained with the Arcface loss. The speaker-identification network has a… More >

Abstract The purpose of Human Activities Recognition (HAR) is to recognize human activities with sensors like accelerometers and gyroscopes. The normal research strategy is to obtain better HAR results by finding more efficient eigenvalues and classification algorithms. In this paper, we experimentally validate the HAR process and its various algorithms independently. On the base of which, it is further proposed that, in addition to the necessary eigenvalues and intelligent algorithms, correct prior knowledge is even more critical. The prior knowledge mentioned here mainly refers to the physical understanding of the analyzed object, the sampling process, the sampling data, the HAR algorithm,… More >
