The Yeongsan River, one of the four largest rivers in South Korea, has been facing difficulties with water quality management with respect to algal bloom. The algal bloom menace has become bigger, especially after the construction of two weirs in the mainstream of the Yeongsan River. Therefore, the prediction and factor analysis of Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) concentration is needed for effective water quality management. In this study, Chl-a prediction model was developed, and the performance evaluated using machine and deep learning methods, such as Deep Neural Network (DNN), Random Forest (RF), and eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost). Moreover, the correlation analysis and the feature importance results were compared to identify the major factors affecting the concentration of Chl-a. All models showed high prediction performance with an R² value of 0.9 or higher. In particular, XGBoost showed the highest prediction accuracy of 0.95 in the test data.The results of feature importance suggested that Ammonia (NH₃-N) and Phosphate (PO₄-P) were common major factors for the three models to manage Chl-a concentration. From the results, it was confirmed that three machine learning methods, DNN, RF, and XGBoost are powerful methods for predicting water quality parameters. Also, the comparison between feature importance and correlation analysis would present a more accurate assessment of the important major factors.

Diagnosing wounds presents a significant challenge in clinical settings due to its complexity and the subjective assessments by clinicians. Wound deep learning algorithms quantitatively assess wounds, overcoming these challenges. However, a limitation in existing research is reliance on specific datasets. To address this limitation, we created a comprehensive dataset by combining open dataset with self-produced dataset to enhance clinical applicability. In the annotation process, machine learning based on Gradient Vector Flow (GVF) was utilized to improve objectivity and efficiency over time. Furthermore, the deep learning model was equipped U-net with residual blocks. Significant improvements were observed using the input dataset with images cropped to contain only the wound region of interest (ROI), as opposed to original sized dataset. As a result, the Dice score remarkably increased from 0.80 using the original dataset to 0.89 using the wound ROI crop dataset. This study highlights the need for diverse research using comprehensive datasets. In future study, we aim to further enhance and diversify our dataset to encompass different environments and ethnicities.

The novel coronavirus 2019 is called COVID-19 has outspread swiftly worldwide. An early diagnosis is more important to control its quick spread. Medical imaging mechanics, chest calculated tomography or chest X-ray, are playing a vital character in the identification and testing of COVID-19 in this present epidemic. Chest X-ray is cost effective method for Covid-19 detection however the manual process of x-ray analysis is time consuming given that the number of infected individuals keep growing rapidly. For this reason, it is very important to develop an automated COVID-19 detection process to control this pandemic. In this study, we address the task of automatic detection of Covid-19 by using a popular deep learning model namely the VGG19 model. We used 1300 healthy and 1300 confirmed COVID-19 chest X-ray images in this experiment. We performed three experiments by freezing different blocks and layers of VGG19 and finally, we used a machine learning classifier SVM for detecting COVID-19. In every experiment, we used a five-fold cross-validation method to train and validated the model and finally achieved 98.1% overall classification accuracy. Experimental results show that our proposed method using the deep learning-based VGG19 model can be used as a tool to aid radiologists and play a crucial role in the timely diagnosis of Covid-19.

In this paper, we propose a new CNN model to improve the recognition performance of command voice signals. This method obtains a spectrogram image after performing a short-time Fourier transform (STFT) of the input signal and improves command recognition performance through supervised learning using a CNN model. After Fourier transforming the input signal for each short-time section, a spectrogram image is obtained and multi-classification learning is performed using a CNN deep learning model. This effectively classifies commands by converting the time domain voice signal to the frequency domain to express the characteristics well and performing deep learning training using the spectrogram image for the conversion parameters. To verify the performance of the speech recognition system proposed in this study, a simulation program using Tensorflow and Keras libraries was created and a simulation experiment was performed. As a result of the experiment, it was confirmed that an accuracy of 92.5% could be obtained using the proposed deep learning algorithm.

Because a railway bridge is designed over a long period of time and covers a large site, it involves various environmental factors and uncertainties. For this reason, design changes often occur, even if the design was thoroughly reviewed in the initial design stage. In particular, design changes of large-scale facilities, such as railway bridges, consume significant time and cost, and it is extremely inefficient to repeat all the procedures each time. In this study, a technique that can improve the efficiency of learning after design change was developed by utilizing the learning result before design change through transfer learning among deep-learning algorithms. For analysis, scenarios were created, and a database was built using a previously developed railway bridge deep-learning-based prediction system. The proposed method results in similar accuracy when learning only 1000 data points in the new domain compared with the 8000 data points used for learning in the old domain before the design change. Moreover, it was confirmed that it has a faster convergence speed.

This paper proposes "The Agriculture Decision-making System(ADS) based on Deep Learning for improving crop productivity" that collects weather information based on location supporting precision agriculture, predicts current crop condition by using the collected information and real time crop data, and notifies a farmer of the result. The system works as follows. The ICM(Information Collection Module) collects weather information based on location supporting precision agriculture. The DRCM(Deep learning based Risk Calculation Module) predicts whether the C, H, N and moisture content of soil are appropriate to grow specific crops according to current weather. The RNM(Risk Notification Module) notifies a farmer of the prediction result based on the DRCM. The proposed system improves the stability because it reduces the accuracy reduction rate as the amount of data increases and is apply the unsupervised learning to the analysis stage compared to the existing system. As a result, the simulation result shows that the ADS improved the success rate of data analysis by about 6%. And the ADS predicts the current crop growth condition accurately, prevents in advance the crop diseases in various environments, and provides the optimized condition for growing crops.

The World Health Organization (WHO) and other government agencies aroundthe world have warned against antibiotic-resistant bacteria due to abuse of antibiotics and are strengthening their care and monitoring to prevent infection. However, it is highly necessary to develop an expeditious and accurate prediction and estimating method for preemptive measures. Because it takes several days to cultivate the infecting bacteria to identify the infection, quarantine and contact are not effective to prevent spread of infection. In this study, the disease diagnosis and antibiotic prescriptions included in Electronic Health Records were embedded through neural embedding model and matrix factorization, and deep learning based classification predictive model was proposed. The f1-score of the deep learning model increased from 0.525 to 0.617when embedding information on disease and antibiotics, which are the main causes of antibiotic resistance, added to the patient's basic information and hospital use information. And deep learning model outperformed the traditional machine hospital use information. And deep learning model outperformed the traditional machine learning models.As a result of analyzing the characteristics of antibiotic resistant patients, resistant patients were more likely to use antibiotics in J01 than nonresistant patients who were diagnosed with the same diseases and were prescribed 6.3 times more than DDD.

Recently, autonomous things, which are pieces of equipment or devices that grasp the context of circumstances on their own and perform actions appropriate for the situation in the surrounding environment, are attracting much research interest. This is because autonomous things are expected to be able to interact with humans more naturally, supersede humans in many tasks, and further solve problems by themselves by collaborating with each other without human intervention. This prospect leans heavily on AI as deep learning has delivered astonishing breakthroughs recently and broadened its range of applications. This paper surveys application trends in deep learning-based AI techniques for autonomous things, especially autonomous driving vehicles, because they present a wide range of problems involving perception, decision, and actions that are very common in other autonomous things.

Scheduling plays a dynamic role in cloud computing in generating as well as in efficient distribution of the resources of each task. The principle goal of scheduling is to limit resource starvation and to guarantee fairness among the parties using the resources. The demand for resources fluctuates dynamically hence the prearranging of resources is a challenging task. Many task-scheduling approaches have been used in the cloud-computing environment. Security in cloud computing environment is one of the core issue in distributed computing. We have designed a deep learning-based security model for scheduling tasks in cloud computing and it has been implemented using CloudSim 3.0 simulator written in Java and verification of the results from different perspectives, such as response time with and without security factors, makespan, cost, CPU utilization, I/O utilization, Memory utilization, and execution time is compared with Round Robin (RR) and Waited Round Robin (WRR) algorithms.
