In this paper, the performance of featureless EMG pattern recognition in classifying hand and wrist movements are presented. The time-frequency distribution (TFD), spectrogram is employed to transform the raw EMG signals into time-frequency representation (TFR). The TFRs or spectrogram images are then directly fed into convolutional neural network (CNN) for classification. Two CNN models are proposed to learn the features automatically from the images without the need of manual feature extraction. The performance of CNN with different number of convolutional layers is examined. The proposed CNN models are evaluated using the EMG data from 10 intact and 11 amputee subjects through the publicly access NinaPro database. Our results show that CNN classifier offered the best mean classification accuracy of 88.04% in recognizing hand and wrist movements.

Background: The cry is the universal language for babies to communicate with others. Infant cry classification is a kind of speech recognition problem that should be treated wisely. In the last few years, it has been gaining its momentum which will be very helpful for the caretaker. Objective: This study aims to develop infant cry classification system predictive model by converting the audio signals into spectrogram image then implementing deep convolutional neural network. It performs end to end learning process and thereby reducing the complexity involved in audio signal analysis and improves the performance using optimization technique. Method: A time frequency-based analysis called Short Time Fourier Transform (STFT) is applied to generate the spectrogram. 256 DFT (Discrete Fourier Transform) points are considered to compute the Fourier transform. A Deep convolutional neural network called AlexNet with few enhancements is done in this work to classify the recorded infant cry. To improve the effectiveness of the above mentioned neural network, Stochastic Gradient Descent with Momentum (SGDM) is used to train the algorithm. Results: A deep neural network-based infant cry classification system achieves a maximum accuracy of 95% in the classification of sleepy cries. The result shows that convolutional neural network with SGDM optimization acquires higher prediction accuracy. Conclusion: Since this proposed work is compared with convolutional neural network with SGD and Naïve Bayes and based on the result, it is implied the convolutional neural network with SGDM performs better than the other techniques.

Significant progress has made in pattern recognition technology. However, one obstacle that has not yet overcome is the recognition of words in the Brahmi script, specifically the identification of characters, compound characters, and word. This study proposes the use of the deep convolutional neural network with dropout to recognize the Brahmi words. This study also proposed a DCNN for Brahmi word recognition and a series of experiments are performed on standard Brahmi dataset. The practical operation of this method was systematically tested on accessible Brahmi image database, achieving 92.47% recognition rate by CNN with dropout respectively which is among the best while comparing with the ones reported in the literature for the same task.

This paper proposes an accurate and stable gearbox fault diagnosis scheme that combines a localized adaptive denoising technique with a wavelet-based vibration imaging approach and a deep convolution neural network model. Vibration signatures of a gearbox contain important fault-related information. However, this useful fault-related information is often overwhelmed by random interference noises. Furthermore, the varying speed of gearboxes makes it difficult to distinguish the fault-related frequencies from the interference noises. To obtain a noise-free signal for extraction of fault-related information under variable speed conditions, first, a new localized adaptive denoising technique (LADT) is applied to the vibration signal. The new localized adaptive denoising technique results in optimized vibration sub-bands with negligible background noise. To obtain fault-related information, the wavelet-based vibration imaging approach (WVI) is applied to the denoised vibration signal. The wavelet-based vibration imaging approach decomposes the vibration signal into different time–frequency scales, these scales are reflected by a two-dimensional image called a scalogram. The scalograms obtained from the wavelet-based vibration imaging approach are provided as an input to the deep convolutional neural network architecture (DCNA) for extraction of discriminant features and classification of multi-degree tooth faults (MDTFs) in a gearbox under variable speed conditions. The proposed scheme outperforms the already existing state-of-the-art gearbox fault diagnosis methods with the highest classification accuracy of 100%.
