AbstractWe have flexible control over our cognition depending on the context or surrounding environments. The prefrontal cortex (PFC) controls this cognitive flexibility; however, the detailed underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Recent developments in machine learning techniques have allowed simple recurrent neural network PFC models to perform human- or animal-like behavioral tasks. These systems allow us to acquire parameters, which we could not in biological experiments, for performing the tasks. We compared four models, in which a flexible cognition task, called context-dependent integration task, was performed; subsequently, we searched for common features. In all the models, we observed that high plastic synapses were concentrated in the small neuronal population and the more concentrated neuronal units contributed further to the performance. However, there were no common properties in the constructed structures. These results suggest that plastic changes can be more general and important to accomplish cognitive tasks than features of the constructed structures.

Programming education has recently received increased attention due to growing demand for programming and information technology skills. However, a lack of teaching materials and human resources presents a major challenge to meeting this demand. One way to compensate for a shortage of trained teachers is to use machine learning techniques to assist learners. This article proposes a learning path recommendation system that applies a recurrent neural network to a learner's ability chart, which displays the learner's scores. In brief, a learning path is constructed from a learner's submission history using a trial-and-error process, and the learner's ability chart is used as an indicator of their current knowledge. An approach for constructing a learning path recommendation system using ability charts and its implementation based on a sequential prediction model and a recurrent neural network, are presented. Experimental evaluation is conducted with data from an e-learning system.


Sentiment analysis combines the natural language processing task and analysis of the text that attempts to predict the sentiment of the text in terms of positive and negative comments. Nowadays, the tremendous volume of news originated via different webpages, and it is feasible to determine the opinion of particular news. This work tries to judge completely various machine learning techniques to classify the view of the news headlines. In this project, propose the appliance of Recurrent Neural Network with Long Short Term Memory Unit(LSTM), focus on seeking out similar news headlines, and predict the opinion of news headlines from numerous sources. The main objective is to classify the sentiment of news headlines from various sources using a recurrent neural network. Interestingly, the proposed attention mechanism performs better than the more complex attention mechanism on a held-out set of articles.

Urban traffic networks comprise a combination of various links. These networks are complicated as they have numerous intersections, meaning that using an analytical approach or parametric models to estimate driving speeds on arterial or highway roads results in low accuracy. In this study, a model is developed to estimate the link speed using speed data collected by a probe vehicle driven across different urban traffic links, which have interrupted flows. We discover multimodal distributions of travel speeds in each link’s probe vehicle data and use them to separate the vehicle groups and calculate the mean speed of links. This strategy makes it possible to obtain more detailed data, which are used to determine the traffic state and increase the accuracy of the model. The developed nonlinear model, suitable for low correlations of consecutive links’ speed data, is built on a recurrent neural network. Moreover, this study merges three machine-learning techniques to apply low correlations between link properties and speed states. The model developed lowered the mean absolute error by 35.9% on average when compared with the long short-term memory with raw data: 46.8% for the slow state, 55.7% for the state change, and 48.0% for the sudden change over 10 km/h.

Under the impact of COVID-19, research on behavior recognition are highly needed. In this paper, we combine the algorithm of self-adaptive coder and recurrent neural network to realize the research of behavior pattern recognition. At present, most of the research of human behavior recognition is focused on the video data, which is based on the video number. At the same time, due to the complexity of video image data, it is easy to violate personal privacy. With the rapid development of Internet of things technology, it has attracted the attention of a large number of experts and scholars. Researchers have tried to use many machine learning methods, such as random forest, support vector machine and other shallow learning methods, which perform well in the laboratory environment, but there is still a long way to go from practical application. In this paper, a recursive neural network algorithm based on long and short term memory (LSTM) is proposed to realize the recognition of behavior patterns, so as to improve the accuracy of human activity behavior recognition.

To improve the workout efficiency and to provide the body movement suggestions to users in a “smart gym” environment, we propose to use a depth camera for capturing a user’s body parts and mount multiple inertial sensors on the body parts of a user to generate deadlift behavior models generated by a recurrent neural network structure. The contribution of this paper is trifold: 1) The multimodal sensing signals obtained from multiple devices are fused for generating the deadlift behavior classifiers, 2) the recurrent neural network structure can analyze the information from the synchronized skeletal and inertial sensing data, and 3) a Vaplab dataset is generated for evaluating the deadlift behaviors recognizing capability in the proposed method.

<p>The chemical space for novel electronic donor-acceptor oligomers with targeted properties was explored using deep generative models and transfer learning. A General Recurrent Neural Network model was trained from the ChEMBL database to generate chemically valid SMILES strings. The parameters of the General Recurrent Neural Network were fine-tuned via transfer learning using the electronic donor-acceptor database from the Computational Material Repository to generate novel donor-acceptor oligomers. Six different transfer learning models were developed with different subsets of the donor-acceptor database as training sets. We concluded that electronic properties such as HOMO-LUMO gaps and dipole moments of the training sets can be learned using the SMILES representation with deep generative models, and that the chemical space of the training sets can be efficiently explored. This approach identified approximately 1700 new molecules that have promising electronic properties (HOMO-LUMO gap <2 eV and dipole moment <2 Debye), 6-times more than in the original database. Amongst the molecular transformations, the deep generative model has learned how to produce novel molecules by trading off between selected atomic substitutions (such as halogenation or methylation) and molecular features such as the spatial extension of the oligomer. The method can be extended as a plausible source of new chemical combinations to effectively explore the chemical space for targeted properties.</p>
