Snoring is a typical symptom of sleep disorder and it is important to identify the occurrence of snoring because it causes sleep apnea. In this paper, we proposes a residual convolutional neural network as an efficient snoring identification algorithm. Residual convolutional neural network, which is a structure combining residual learning and convolutional neural network, effectively extracts features existing in data more than conventional neural network and improves the accuracy of snoring identification. Experimental results show that the performance of the proposed snoring algorithm is superior to that of the conventional methods.

In the diagnosis of pulmonary diseases, auscultation technique is simpler than the other methods, and lung sounds can be used for predicting the types of pulmonary diseases as well as identifying patients with pulmonary diseases. Therefore, in this paper, we identify patients with pulmonary diseases and classify lung sounds according to their sound characteristics using various convolutional neural networks, and compare the classification performance of each neural network method. First, lung sounds over affected areas of the chest with pulmonary diseases are collected by using a single-channel lung sound recording device, and spectral features are extracted from the collected sounds in time domain and applied to each neural network. As classification methods, we use general, parallel, and residual convolutional neural network, and compare lung sound classification performance of each neural network through experiments.

Traffic sign recognition plays an important role in solving traffic-related problems. Traffic sign recognition and classification systems are key components for traffic safety, traffic monitoring, autonomous driving services, and autonomous vehicles. A lightweight model, applicable to portable devices, is an essential aspect of the design agenda. We suggest a lightweight convolutional neural network model with residual blocks for traffic sign recognition systems. The proposed model shows very competitive results on publicly available benchmark data.
