In this paper, we propose the long–short-term memory (LSTM)-based voluntary and non-voluntary (VNV) muscle contraction classification algorithm in an electrical stimulation (ES) environment. In order to measure the muscle quality (MQ), we employ the non-voluntary muscle contraction signal, which occurs by the ES. However, if patient movement, such as voluntary muscle contractionm, occurs during the ES, the electromyography (EMG) sensor captures the VNV muscle contraction signals. In addition, the voluntary muscle contraction signal is a noise component in the MQ measurement technique, which uses only non-voluntary muscle contraction signals. For this reason, we need the VNV muscle contraction classification algorithm to classify the mixed EMG signal. In addition, when recording EMG while using the ES, the EMG signal is significantly contaminated due to the ES signal. Therefore, after we suppress the artifact noise, which is contained in the EMG signal, we perform VNV muscle contraction classification. For this, we first eliminate the artifact noise signal using the ES suppression algorithm. Then, we extract the feature vector, and then the feature vector is reconstructed through the feature selection process. Finally, we design the LSTM-based classification model and compare the proposed algorithm with the conventional method using the EMG data. In addition, to verify the performance of the proposed algorithm, we quantitatively compared results in terms of the confusion matrix and total accuracy. As a result, the performance of the proposed algorithm was higher than that of the conventional methods, including the support vector machine (SVM), artificial neural network (ANN), and deep neural network (DNN).

As the number of patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) increases, the effort needed to care for these patients increases as well. At the same time, advances in information and sensor technologies have reduced caring costs, providing a potential pathway for developing healthcare services for AD patients. For instance, if a virtual reality (VR) system can provide emotion-adaptive content, the time that AD patients spend interacting with VR content is expected to be extended, allowing caregivers to focus on other tasks. As the first step towards this goal, in this study, we develop a classification model that detects AD patients’ emotions (e.g., happy, peaceful, or bored). We first collected electroencephalography (EEG) data from 30 Korean female AD patients who watched emotion-evoking videos at a medical rehabilitation center. We applied conventional machine learning algorithms, such as a multilayer perceptron (MLP) and support vector machine, along with deep learning models of recurrent neural network (RNN) architectures. The best performance was obtained from MLP, which achieved an average accuracy of 70.97%; the RNN model’s accuracy reached only 48.18%. Our study results open a new stream of research in the field of EEG-based emotion detection for patients with neurological disorders.

This paper proposes a model to extract feature information quickly and accurately identifying what cannot be achieved through traditional methods of remote sensing image classification. First, process the selected Landsat-8 remote sensing data, including radiometric calibration, geometric correction, optimal band combination, and image cropping. Add the processed remote sensing image to the normalized geographic auxiliary information, digital elevation model (DEM), and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), working together to build a neural network that consists of three levels based on the structure of back-propagation neural and extended delta bar delta (BPN-EDBD) algorithm, determining the parameters of the neural network to constitute a good classification model. Then determine classification and standards via field surveys and related geographic information; select training samples BPN-EDBD for algorithm learning and training and, if necessary, revise and improve its parameters using the BPN-EDBD classification algorithm to classify the remote sensing image after pretreatment and DEM data and NDVI as input parameters and output classification results, and run accuracy assessment. Finally, compare with traditional supervised classification algorithms, while adding different auxiliary geographic information to compare classification results to study the advantages and disadvantages of BPN-EDBD classification algorithm.

This paper mainly improves the visual geometry group network-16 (VGG-16), which is a classic convolutional neural network (CNN), to classify the surface defects on cement concrete bridges in an accurate manner. Specifically, the number of fully connected layers was reduced by one, and the Softmax classifier was replaced with a Softmax classification layer with seven defect tags. The weight parameters of convolutional and pooling layers were shared in the pre-trained model, and the rectified linear unit (ReLU) function was taken as the activation function. The original images were collected by a road inspection vehicle driving across bridges on national and provincial highways in Jiangxi Province, China. The images on surface defects of cement concrete bridges were selected, and divided into a training set and a test set, and preprocessed through morphology-based weight adaptive denoising. To verify its performance, the improved VGG-16 was compared with traditional shallow neural networks (NNs) like the backpropagation neural network (BPNN), support vector machine (SVM), and deep CNNs like AlexNet, GoogLeNet, and ResNet on the same sample dataset of surface defects on cement concrete bridges. Judging by mean detection accuracy and top-5 accuracy, our model outperformed all the contrastive methods, and accurately differentiated between images with seven classes of defects such as normal, cracks, fracturing, plate fracturing, corner rupturing, edge/corner exfoliation, skeleton exposure, and repairs. The results indicate that our model can effectively extract the multi-layer features from surface defect images, which highlights the edges and textures. The research findings shed important new light on the detection of surface defects and classification of defect images.

Abstract Background Long-chain non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is closely related to many biological activities. Since its sequence structure is similar to that of messenger RNA (mRNA), it is difficult to distinguish between the two based only on sequence biometrics. Therefore, it is particularly important to construct a model that can effectively identify lncRNA and mRNA. Results First, the difference in the k-mer frequency distribution between lncRNA and mRNA sequences is considered in this paper, and they are transformed into the k-mer frequency matrix. Moreover, k-mers with more species are screened by relative entropy. The classification model of the lncRNA and mRNA sequences is then proposed by inputting the k-mer frequency matrix and training the convolutional neural network. Finally, the optimal k-mer combination of the classification model is determined and compared with other machine learning methods in humans, mice and chickens. The results indicate that the proposed model has the highest classification accuracy. Furthermore, the recognition ability of this model is verified to a single sequence. Conclusion We established a classification model for lncRNA and mRNA based on k-mers and the convolutional neural network. The classification accuracy of the model with 1-mers, 2-mers and 3-mers was the highest, with an accuracy of 0.9872 in humans, 0.8797 in mice and 0.9963 in chickens, which is better than those of the random forest, logistic regression, decision tree and support vector machine.

Spectral characteristics play an important role in the classification of oil film, but the presence of too many bands can lead to information redundancy and reduced classification accuracy. In this study, a classification model that combines spectral indices-based band selection (SIs) and one-dimensional convolutional neural networks was proposed to realize automatic oil films classification using hyperspectral remote sensing images. Additionally, for comparison, the minimum Redundancy Maximum Relevance (mRMR) was tested for reducing the number of bands. The support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), and Hu’s convolutional neural networks (CNN) were trained and tested. The results show that the accuracy of classifications through the one dimensional convolutional neural network (1D CNN) models surpassed the accuracy of other machine learning algorithms such as SVM and RF. The model of SIs+1D CNN could produce a relatively higher accuracy oil film distribution map within less time than other models.
