Neural Networks for Complex Data

Artificial neural networks are simple and efficient machine learning tools. Defined originally in the traditional setting of simple vector data, neural network models have evolved to address more and more difficulties of complex real world problems, ranging from time evolving data to sophisticated data structures such as graphs and functions. This paper summarizes advances on those themes from the last decade, with a focus on results obtained by members of the SAMM team of Universit\'e Paris

Modeling Financial Time Series with Artificial Neural Networks

Financial time series convey the decisions and actions of a population of human actors over time. Econometric and regressive models have been developed in the past decades for analyzing these time series. More recently, biologically inspired artificial neural network models have been shown to overcome some of the main challenges of traditional techniques by better exploiting the non-linear, non-stationary, and oscillatory nature of noisy, chaotic human interactions. This review paper explores the options, benefits, and weaknesses of the various forms of artificial neural networks as compared with regression techniques in the field of financial time series analysis.CELEST, a National Science Foundation Science of Learning Center (SBE-0354378); SyNAPSE program of the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (HR001109-03-0001

Artificial neural networks in geospatial analysis

Artificial neural networks are computational models widely used in geospatial analysis for data classification, change detection, clustering, function approximation, and forecasting or prediction. There are many types of neural networks based on learning paradigm and network architectures. Their use is expected to grow with increasing availability of massive data from remote sensing and mobile platforms

Medical imaging analysis with artificial neural networks

Given that neural networks have been widely reported in the research community of medical imaging, we provide a focused literature survey on recent neural network developments in computer-aided diagnosis, medical image segmentation and edge detection towards visual content analysis, and medical image registration for its pre-processing and post-processing, with the aims of increasing awareness of how neural networks can be applied to these areas and to provide a foundation for further research and practical development. Representative techniques and algorithms are explained in detail to provide inspiring examples illustrating: (i) how a known neural network with fixed structure and training procedure could be applied to resolve a medical imaging problem; (ii) how medical images could be analysed, processed, and characterised by neural networks; and (iii) how neural networks could be expanded further to resolve problems relevant to medical imaging. In the concluding section, a highlight of comparisons among many neural network applications is included to provide a global view on computational intelligence with neural networks in medical imaging

A Multi Hidden Recurrent Neural Network with a Modified Grey Wolf Optimizer

Identifying university students' weaknesses results in better learning and can function as an early warning system to enable students to improve. However, the satisfaction level of existing systems is not promising. New and dynamic hybrid systems are needed to imitate this mechanism. A hybrid system (a modified Recurrent Neural Network with an adapted Grey Wolf Optimizer) is used to forecast students' outcomes. This proposed system would improve instruction by the faculty and enhance the students' learning experiences. The results show that a modified recurrent neural network with an adapted Grey Wolf Optimizer has the best accuracy when compared with other models.Comment: 34 pages, published in PLoS ON

Representation of Functional Data in Neural Networks

Functional Data Analysis (FDA) is an extension of traditional data analysis to functional data, for example spectra, temporal series, spatio-temporal images, gesture recognition data, etc. Functional data are rarely known in practice; usually a regular or irregular sampling is known. For this reason, some processing is needed in order to benefit from the smooth character of functional data in the analysis methods. This paper shows how to extend the Radial-Basis Function Networks (RBFN) and Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) models to functional data inputs, in particular when the latter are known through lists of input-output pairs. Various possibilities for functional processing are discussed, including the projection on smooth bases, Functional Principal Component Analysis, functional centering and reduction, and the use of differential operators. It is shown how to incorporate these functional processing into the RBFN and MLP models. The functional approach is illustrated on a benchmark of spectrometric data analysis.Comment: Also available online from: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/0925231

ANALIZA KOLIZJI W RUCHU MIEJSKIM Z WYKORZYSTANIEM TECHNIK GŁĘBOKIEGO UCZENIA

Road accidents are concerningly increasing in Andhra Pradesh. In 2021, Andhra Pradesh experienced a 20 percent upsurge in road accidents. The state's unfortunate position of being ranked eighth in terms of fatalities, with 8,946 lives lost in 22,311 traffic accidents, underscores the urgent nature of the problem. The significant financial impact on the victims and their families stresses the necessity for effective actions to reduce road accidents. This study proposes a framework that collects accident data from regions, namely Patamata, Penamaluru, Mylavaram, Krishnalanka, Ibrahimpatnam, and Gandhinagar in Vijayawada (India) from 2019 to 2021. The dataset comprises over 12,000 records of accident data. Deep learning techniques are applied to classify the severity of road accidents into Fatal, Grievous, and Severe Injuries. The classification procedure leverages advanced neural network models, including the Multilayer Perceptron, Long-Short Term Memory, Recurrent Neural Network, and Gated Recurrent Unit. These models are trained on the collected data to accurately predict the severity of road accidents. The project study to make important contributions for suggesting proactive measures and policies to reduce the severity and frequency of road accidents in Andhra Pradesh.Liczba wypadków drogowych w Andhra Pradesh niepokojąco rośnie. W 2021 r. stan Andhra Pradesh odnotował 20% wzrost liczby wypadków drogowych. Niefortunna pozycja stanu, który zajmuje ósme miejsce pod względem liczby ofiar śmiertelnych, z 8 946 ofiarami śmiertelnymi w 22 311 wypadkach drogowych, podkreśla pilny charakter problemu. Znaczący wymiar finansowy dla ofiar i ich rodziny podkreśla konieczność podjęcia skutecznych działań w celu ograniczenia liczby wypadków drogowych. W niniejszym badaniu zaproponowano system gromadzenia danych o wypadkach z regionów Patamata, Penamaluru, Mylavaram, Krishnalanka, Ibrahimpatnam i Gandhinagar w Vijayawada (India) w latach 2019–2021. Zbiór danych obejmuje ponad 12 000 rekordów danych o wypadkach. Techniki głębokiego uczenia są stosowane do klasyfikowania wagi wypadków drogowych na śmiertelne, poważne i ciężkie obrażenia. Procedura klasyfikacji wykorzystuje zaawansowane modele sieci neuronowych, w tym wielowarstwowy perceptron, pamięć długoterminową i krótkoterminową, rekurencyjną sieć neuronową i Gated Recurrent Unit. Modele te są trenowane na zebranych danych w celu dokładnego przewidywania wagi wypadków drogowych. Projekt ma wnieść istotny wkład w sugerowanie proaktywnych środków i polityk mających na celu zmniejszenie dotkliwości i częstotliwości wypadków drogowych w Andhra Pradesh
