On Training Traffic Predictors via Broad Learning Structures:A Benchmark Study
A fast architecture for real-time (i.e., minute-based) training of a traffic predictor is studied, based on the so-called broad learning system (BLS) paradigm. The study uses various traffic datasets by the California Department of Transportation, and employs a variety of standard algorithms (LASSO regression, shallow and deep neural networks, stacked autoencoders, convolutional, and recurrent neural networks) for comparison purposes: all algorithms are implemented in MATLAB on the same computing platform. The study demonstrates a BLS training process two-three orders of magnitude faster (tens of seconds against tens-hundreds of thousands of seconds), allowing unprecedented real-time capabilities. Additional comparisons with the extreme learning machine architecture, a learning algorithm sharing some features with BLS, confirm the fast training of least-square training as compared to gradient training
Unveiling the frontiers of deep learning: innovations shaping diverse domains
Deep learning (DL) enables the development of computer models that are
capable of learning, visualizing, optimizing, refining, and predicting data. In
recent years, DL has been applied in a range of fields, including audio-visual
data processing, agriculture, transportation prediction, natural language,
biomedicine, disaster management, bioinformatics, drug design, genomics, face
recognition, and ecology. To explore the current state of deep learning, it is
necessary to investigate the latest developments and applications of deep
learning in these disciplines. However, the literature is lacking in exploring
the applications of deep learning in all potential sectors. This paper thus
extensively investigates the potential applications of deep learning across all
major fields of study as well as the associated benefits and challenges. As
evidenced in the literature, DL exhibits accuracy in prediction and analysis,
makes it a powerful computational tool, and has the ability to articulate
itself and optimize, making it effective in processing data with no prior
training. Given its independence from training data, deep learning necessitates
massive amounts of data for effective analysis and processing, much like data
volume. To handle the challenge of compiling huge amounts of medical,
scientific, healthcare, and environmental data for use in deep learning, gated
architectures like LSTMs and GRUs can be utilized. For multimodal learning,
shared neurons in the neural network for all activities and specialized neurons
for particular tasks are necessary.Comment: 64 pages, 3 figures, 3 table
A Slow-Shifting Concerned Machine Learning Method for Short-term Traffic Flow Forecasting
The ability to predict traffic flow over time for crowded areas during rush
hours is increasingly important as it can help authorities make informed
decisions for congestion mitigation or scheduling of infrastructure development
in an area. However, a crucial challenge in traffic flow forecasting is the
slow shifting in temporal peaks between daily and weekly cycles, resulting in
the nonstationarity of the traffic flow signal and leading to difficulty in
accurate forecasting. To address this challenge, we propose a slow shifting
concerned machine learning method for traffic flow forecasting, which includes
two parts. First, we take advantage of Empirical Mode Decomposition as the
feature engineering to alleviate the nonstationarity of traffic flow data,
yielding a series of stationary components. Second, due to the superiority of
Long-Short-Term-Memory networks in capturing temporal features, an advanced
traffic flow forecasting model is developed by taking the stationary components
as inputs. Finally, we apply this method on a benchmark of real-world data and
provide a comparison with other existing methods. Our proposed method
outperforms the state-of-art results by 14.55% and 62.56% using the metrics of
root mean squared error and mean absolute percentage error, respectively.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures. Accepted for IEEE International Conference on

A Comprehensive Survey of Deep Learning in Remote Sensing: Theories, Tools and Challenges for the Community
In recent years, deep learning (DL), a re-branding of neural networks (NNs),
has risen to the top in numerous areas, namely computer vision (CV), speech
recognition, natural language processing, etc. Whereas remote sensing (RS)
possesses a number of unique challenges, primarily related to sensors and
applications, inevitably RS draws from many of the same theories as CV; e.g.,
statistics, fusion, and machine learning, to name a few. This means that the RS
community should be aware of, if not at the leading edge of, of advancements
like DL. Herein, we provide the most comprehensive survey of state-of-the-art
RS DL research. We also review recent new developments in the DL field that can
be used in DL for RS. Namely, we focus on theories, tools and challenges for
the RS community. Specifically, we focus on unsolved challenges and
opportunities as it relates to (i) inadequate data sets, (ii)
human-understandable solutions for modelling physical phenomena, (iii) Big
Data, (iv) non-traditional heterogeneous data sources, (v) DL architectures and
learning algorithms for spectral, spatial and temporal data, (vi) transfer
learning, (vii) an improved theoretical understanding of DL systems, (viii)
high barriers to entry, and (ix) training and optimizing the DL.Comment: 64 pages, 411 references. To appear in Journal of Applied Remote
