Collaborative filtering is one of the commonly used methods in the web recommendation system. Numerous researches on the collaborative filtering proposed the numbers of measures for enhancing the accuracy. This study suggests the movie recommendation system applied with Word2Vec and ensemble convolutional neural networks. First, user sentences and movie sentences are made from the user, movie, and rating information. Then, the user sentences and movie sentences are input into Word2Vec to figure out the user vector and movie vector. The user vector is input on the user convolutional model while the movie vector is input on the movie convolutional model. These user and movie convolutional models are connected to the fully-connected neural network model. Ultimately, the output layer of the fully-connected neural network model outputs the forecasts for user, movie, and rating. The test result showed that the system proposed in this study showed higher accuracy than the conventional cooperative filtering system and Word2Vec and deep neural network-based system suggested in the similar researches. The Word2Vec and deep neural network-based recommendation system is expected to help in enhancing the satisfaction while considering about the characteristics of users.

In this paper, a covariance matrix and modulogram are proposed for realizing amphibian sound classification using CNN (Convolutional Neural Network). First of all, a database is established by collecting amphibians sounds including endangered species in natural environment. In order to apply the database to CNN, it is necessary to standardize acoustic signals with different lengths. To standardize the acoustic signals, covariance matrix that gives distribution information and modulogram that contains the information about change over time are extracted and used as input to CNN. The experiment is conducted by varying the number of a convolutional layer and a fully-connected layer. For performance assessment, several conventional methods are considered representing various feature extraction and classification approaches. From the results, it is confirmed that convolutional layer has a greater impact on performance than the fully-connected layer. Also, the performance based on CNN shows attaining the highest recognition rate with 99.07 % among the considered methods.

In this paper, we propose facial expression recognition using CNN (Convolutional Neural Network), one of the deep learning technologies. To overcome the disadvantages of existing facial expression databases, various databases are used. In the proposed technique, we construct six facial expression data sets such as 'expressionless', 'happiness', 'sadness', 'angry', 'surprise', and 'disgust'. Pre-processing and data augmentation techniques are also applied to improve efficient learning and classification performance. In the existing CNN structure, the optimal CNN structure that best expresses the features of six facial expressions is found by adjusting the number of feature maps of the convolutional layer and the number of fully-connected layer nodes. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme achieves the highest classification performance of 96.88% while it takes the least time to pass through the CNN structure compared to other models.

With the advent of context-aware computing, many attempts were made to understand emotions. Among these various attempts, Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) is a method of recognizing the speaker's emotions through speech information. The SER is successful in selecting distinctive 'features' and 'classifying' them in an appropriate way. In this paper, the performances of SER using neural network models (e.g., fully connected network (FCN), convolutional neural network (CNN)) with Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) are examined in terms of the accuracy and distribution of emotion recognition. For Ryerson Audio-Visual Database of Emotional Speech and Song (RAVDESS) dataset, by tuning model parameters, a two-dimensional Convolutional Neural Network (2D-CNN) model with MFCC showed the best performance with an average accuracy of 88.54% for 5 emotions, anger, happiness, calm, fear, and sadness, of men and women. In addition, by examining the distribution of emotion recognition accuracies for neural network models, the 2D-CNN with MFCC can expect an overall accuracy of 75% or more.

One of the key technologies in providing data analysis in the deep learning while maintaining security is fully homomorphic encryption. Due to constraints in operations on fully homomorphically encrypted data, non-arithmetic functions used in deep learning must be approximated by polynomials. Until now, the degrees of approximation polynomials with composite minimax polynomials have been uniformly set across layers, which poses challenges for effective network designs on fully homomorphic encryption. This study theoretically proves that setting different degrees of approximation polynomials constructed by composite minimax polynomial in each layer does not pose any issues in the inference on convolutional neural networks.

We propose a deep learning method for multi-focus image fusion. Unlike most existing pixel-level fusion methods, either in spatial domain or in transform domain, our method directly learns an end-to-end fully convolutional two-stream network. The framework maps a pair of different focus images to a clean version, with a chain of convolutional layers, fusion layer and deconvolutional layers. Our deep fusion model has advantages of efficiency and robustness, yet demonstrates state-of-art fusion quality. We explore different parameter settings to achieve trade-offs between performance and speed. Moreover, the experiment results on our training dataset show that our network can achieve good performance with subjective visual perception and objective assessment metrics.

In this paper, the method of detecting sea fog through CCTV image is proposed based on convolutional neural networks. The study data randomly extracted 1,0004 images, sea-fog and not sea-fog, from a total of 11 ports or beaches (Busan Port, Busan New Port, Pyeongtaek Port, Incheon Port, Gunsan Port, Daesan Port, Mokpo Port, Yeosu Gwangyang Port, Ulsan Port, Pohang Port, and Haeundae Beach) based on 1km of visibility. 80% of the total 1,0004 datasets were extracted and used for learning the convolutional neural network model. The model has 16 convolutional layers and 3 fully connected layers, and a convolutional neural network that performs Softmax classification in the last fully connected layer is used. Model accuracy evaluation was performed using the remaining 20%, and the accuracy evaluation result showed a classification accuracy of about 96%.

The complexity of deep learning models affects the real-time performance of gesture recognition, thereby limiting the application of gesture recognition algorithms in actual scenarios. Hence, a residual learning neural network based on a deep convolutional neural network is proposed. First, small convolution kernels are used to extract the local details of gesture images. Subsequently, a shallow residual structure is built to share weights, thereby avoiding gradient disappearance or gradient explosion as the network layer deepens; consequently, the difficulty of model optimisation is simplified. Additional convolutional neural networks are used to accelerate the refinement of deep abstract features based on the spatial importance of the gesture feature distribution. Finally, a fully connected cascade softmax classifier is used to complete the gesture recognition. Compared with the dense connection multiplexing feature information network, the proposed algorithm is optimised in feature multiplexing to avoid performance fluctuations caused by feature redundancy. Experimental results from the ISOGD gesture dataset and Gesture dataset prove that the proposed algorithm affords a fast convergence speed and high accuracy.

The convolutional neural network is composed of convolutional layers and fully connected layers. The nonlinear activation function is used in each layer of the convolutional layer and the fully connected layer. The activation function being used in a neural network is a function that simulates the method of transmitting information in a neuron that can transmit a signal and not send a signal if the input signal is above a certain criterion when transmitting a signal between neurons. The conventional activation function does not have a relationship with the loss function, so the process of finding the optimal solution is slow. In order to improve this, an agile activation function that generalizes the activation function is proposed. The agile activation function can improve the performance of the deep neural network in a way that selects the optimal agile parameter through the learning process using the primary differential coefficient of the loss function for the agile parameter in the backpropagation process. Through the MNIST classification problem, we have identified that agile activation functions have superior performance over conventional activation functions.

In this paper, we propose facial expression recognition using CNN (Convolutional Neural Network), one of the deep learning technologies. The proposed structure has general classification performance for any environment or subject. For this purpose, we collect a variety of databases and organize the database into six expression classes such as 'expressionless', 'happy', 'sad', 'angry', 'surprised' and 'disgusted'. Pre-processing and data augmentation techniques are applied to improve training efficiency and classification performance. In the existing CNN structure, the optimal structure that best expresses the features of six facial expressions is found by adjusting the number of feature maps of the convolutional layer and the number of nodes of fully-connected layer. The experimental results show good classification performance compared to the state-of-the-arts in experiments of the cross validation and the cross database. Also, compared to other conventional models, it is confirmed that the proposed structure is superior in classification performance with less execution time.
