Fédération Internationale de Football Association is the governing body of the football world cup. The international tournament of football requires extensive training of all football players and athletes. In the training process of footballers, players and coaches recognize the training actions completed by footballers. The training actions are compared with standard actions, calculate losses, and scientifically intervene in the training processes. This intervention is important for better results during the training sessions. Coaches must determine and confirm that every action performed by the footballers meets the minimum standards. It is because the actions of individual players are performed quickly; as a result, the coach’s eye may not produce accurate results as human activities are prone to errors. Therefore, this paper designs and develops a footballer’s motion and gesture recognition and intervention algorithm using a convolutional neural network (CNN). In this proposed algorithm, initially, texture features and HSV features of the footballer’s posture image are extracted and then a dual-channel CNN is constructed. Each characteristic is extracted separately, and the output of the dual-channel network is combined. Finally, the obtained results are passed from a fully connected CNN to estimate and construct the posture image of the footballer. This article performs experimental testing and comparative analysis on a wide range of data and also conducts ablation studies. The experimental work shows that the proposed algorithm achieves better performance results.

The paper describes an online deep learning algorithm for the adaptive modulation and coding in 5G Massive MIMO. The algorithm is based on a fully connected neural network, which is initially trained on the output of the traditional algorithm and then is incrementally retrained by the service feedback of its output. We show the advantage of our solution over the state-of-the-art Q-Learning approach. We provide system-level simulation results to support this conclusion in various scenarios with different channel characteristics and different user speeds. Compared with traditional OLLA our algorithm shows 10% to 20% improvement of user throughput in full buffer case. <br>

The development of detection methodologies for reliable drowsiness tracking is a challenging task requiring both appropriate signal inputs and accurate and robust algorithms of analysis. The aim of this research is to develop an advanced method to detect the drowsiness stage in electroencephalogram (EEG), the most reliable physiological measurement, using the promising Machine Learning methodologies. The methods used in this paper are based on Machine Learning methodologies such as stacked autoencoder with softmax layers. Results obtained from 62 volunteers indicate 100% accuracy in drowsy/wakeful discrimination, proving that this approach can be very promising for use in the next generation of medical devices. This methodology can be extended to other uses in everyday life in which the maintaining of the level of vigilance is critical. Future works aim to perform extended validation of the proposed pipeline with a wide-range training set in which we integrate the photoplethysmogram (PPG) signal and visual information with EEG analysis in order to improve the robustness of the overall approach.

&lt;p&gt;The growing digitization of fossil images has vastly improved and broadened the potential application of big data and machine learning, particularly computer vision, in paleontology. Recent studies show that machine learning is capable of approaching human abilities of classifying images, and with the increase in computational power and visual data, it stands to reason that it can match human ability but at much greater efficiency in the near future. Here we demonstrate this potential of using deep learning to identify skeletal grains at different levels of the Linnaean taxonomic hierarchy. Our approach was two-pronged. First, we built a database of skeletal grain images spanning a wide range of animal phyla and classes and used this database to train the model. We used a Python-based method to automate image recognition and extraction from published sources. Second, we developed a deep learning algorithm that can attach multiple labels to a single image. Conventionally, deep learning is used to predict a single class from an image; here, we adopted a Branch Convolutional Neural Network (B-CNN) technique to classify multiple taxonomic levels for a single skeletal grain image. Using this method, we achieved over 90% accuracy for both the coarse, phylum-level recognition and the fine, class-level recognition across diverse skeletal grains (6 phyla and 15 classes). Furthermore, we found that image augmentation improves the overall accuracy. This tool has potential applications in geology ranging from biostratigraphy to paleo-bathymetry, paleoecology, and microfacies analysis. Further improvement of the algorithm and expansion of the training dataset will continue to narrow the efficiency gap between human expertise and machine learning.&lt;/p&gt;


Gender is a central feature of our personality still. In our social life it is also an significant element. Artificial intelligence age predictions can be used in many fields, such as smart human-machine interface growth , health, cosmetics, electronic commerce etc. The prediction of people's sex and age from their facial images is an ongoing and active problem of research. The researchers suggested a number of methods to resolve this problem, but the criteria and actual performance are still inadequate. A statistical pattern recognition approach for solving this problem is proposed in this project.Convolutionary Neural Network (ConvNet / CNN), a Deep Learning algorithm, is used as an extractor of features in the proposed solution. CNN takes input images and assigns value to different aspects / objects (learnable weights and biases) of the image and can differentiate between them. ConvNet requires much less preprocessing than other classification algorithms. While the filters are hand-made in primitive methods, ConvNets can learn these filters / features with adequate training.In this research, face images of individuals have been trained with convolutionary neural networks, and age and sex with a high rate of success have been predicted. More than 20,000 images are containing age, gender and ethnicity annotations. The images cover a wide range of poses, facial expression, lighting, occlusion, and resolution.

Deepfake is one of the applications that is deemed harmful. Deepfakes are a sort of image or video manipulation in which a person’s image is changed or swapped with that of another person’s face using artificial neural networks. Deepfake manipulations may be done with a variety of techniques and applications. A quintessential countermeasure against deepfake or face manipulation is deepfake detection method. Most of the existing detection methods perform well under symmetric data distributions, but are still not robust to asymmetric datasets variations and novel deepfake/manipulation types. In this paper, for the identification of fake faces in videos, a new multi-stream deep learning algorithm is developed, where three streams are merged at the feature level using the fusion layer. After the fusion layer, the fully connected, Softmax, and classification layers are used to classify the data. The pre-trained VGG16 model is adopted for transferred CNN1stream. In transfer learning, the weights of the pre-trained CNN model are further used for training the new classification problem. In the second stream (transferred CNN2), the pre-trained VGG19 model is used. Whereas, in the third stream, the pre-trained ResNet18 model is considered. In this paper, a new large-scale dataset (i.e., World Politicians Deepfake Dataset (WPDD)) is introduced to improve deepfake detection systems. The dataset was created by downloading videos of 20 different politicians from YouTube. Over 320,000 frames were retrieved after dividing the downloaded movie into little sections and extracting the frames. Finally, various manipulations were performed to these frames, resulting in seven separate manipulation classes for men and women. In the experiments, three fake face detection scenarios are investigated. First, fake and real face discrimination is studied. Second, seven face manipulations are performed, including age, beard, face swap, glasses, hair color, hairstyle, smiling, and genuine face discrimination. Third, performance of deepfake detection system under novel type of face manipulation is analyzed. The proposed strategy outperforms the prior existing methods. The calculated performance metrics are over 99%.

One of the most common and well studied post-transcription modifications in RNAs is N6-methyladenosine (m6A) which has been involved with a wide range of biological processes. Over the past decades, N6-methyladenosine produced some positive consequences through the high-throughput laboratory techniques but still, these lab processes are time consuming and costly. Diverse computational methods have been proposed to identify m6A sites accurately. In this paper, we proposed a computational model named iMethyl-deep to identify m6A Saccharomyces Cerevisiae on two benchmark datasets M6A2614 and M6A6540 by using single nucleotide resolution to convert RNA sequence into a high quality feature representation. The iMethyl-deep obtained 89.19% and 87.44% of accuracy on M6A2614 and M6A6540 respectively which show that our proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art predictors, at least 8.44%, 8.96%, 8.69% and 0.173 on M6A2614 and 15.47%, 28.52%, 25.54 and 0.5 on M6A6540 higher in terms of four metrics Sp, Sn, ACC and MCC respectively. Meanwhile, M6A6540 dataset never used to train a model.

Throughout the last decade, a whole new generation of powered transtibial prostheses and exoskeletons has been developed. However, these technologies are limited by a gait phase detection which controls the wearable device as a function of the activities of the wearer. Consequently, gait phase detection is considered to be of great importance, as achieving high detection accuracy will produce a more precise, stable, and safe rehabilitation device. In this paper, we propose a novel gait percent detection algorithm that can predict a full gait cycle discretised within a 1% interval. We called this algorithm an exponentially delayed fully connected neural network (ED-FNN). A dataset was obtained from seven healthy subjects that performed daily walking activities on the flat ground and a 15-degree slope. The signals were taken from only one inertial measurement unit (IMU) attached to the lower shank. The dataset was divided into training and validation datasets for every subject, and the mean square error (MSE) error between the model prediction and the real percentage of the gait was computed. An average MSE of 0.00522 was obtained for every subject in both training and validation sets, and an average MSE of 0.006 for the training set and 0.0116 for the validation set was obtained when combining all subjects’ signals together. Although our experiments were conducted in an offline setting, due to the forecasting capabilities of the ED-FNN, our system provides an opportunity to eliminate detection delays for real-time applications.
