We utilize digital representations of the models and deploy stochastic binary neural networks that are pre-trained to produce such mappings. The pre-training is implemented by a back propagating supervised learning algorithm which converges almost surely to the probabilities induced by the environment, under general ergodicity conditions.展开更多

With the characteristics of local connectivity, pooling and weight sharing,a six-layer CNNs structure is used to demodulate and eliminate ISI. The results showthat with the symbol rate of 1. 07 k Bd, the bandwidth of the band-pass filter（ BPF） in a transmitter of 1 k Hz and the changing number of carrier cycles in a symbol K = 5,10,15,28, the overall bit error ratio（ BER） performance of CNNs with single-symbol decision is superior to that with a doublesymbol united-decision. In addition, the BER performance of single-symbol decision is approximately 0. 5 d B better than that of the coherent demodulator while K equals the total number of carrier circles in a symbol, i. e., K = N = 28. With the symbol rate of 1. 07 k Bd, the bandwidth of BPF in a transmitter of 500 Hz and K = 5,10,15,28, the overall BER performance of CNNs with double-symbol united-decision is superior to those with single-symbol decision. Moreover, the double-symbol uniteddecision method is approximately 0. 5 to 1. 5 d B better than that of the coherent demodulator while K = N = 28. The demodulators based on CNNs successfully solve the serious ISI problems generated during the transmission of FTN rate bipolar EBPSK signals, which is beneficial for the improvement of spectrum efficiency.展开更多

Binary V-I trajectory image can reflect the original V-I trajectory characteristics to a large extent, so it is widely used in load identification. However, using single binary V-I trajectory feature for load identification has certain limitations. In order to improve the accuracy of load identification, the power feature is added on the basis of the binary V-I trajectory feature in this paper. We change the initial binary V-I trajectory into a new 3D feature by mapping the power feature to the third dimension. In order to reduce the impact of imbalance samples on load identification, the SVM SMOTE algorithm is used to balance the samples. Based on the deep learning method, the convolutional neural network model is used to extract the newly produced 3D feature to achieve load identification in this paper. The results indicate the new 3D feature has better observability and the proposed model has higher identification performance compared with other classification models on the public data set PLAID. </div>展开更多
