The goal of this paper is to evaluate the use of artificial neural networks in the classification of proton transfer events, based on the feed-forward back propagation neural network, used as a classifier to distinguish between the two transfer cases. In this paper, we use a new developed data mining and pattern recognition tool for automating, controlling, and drawing charts of the output data of an Empirical Valence Bond existing code. The study analyzes the need for pattern recognition in aqueous proton transfer processes and how the learning approach in error back propagation （multilayer perceptron algorithms） could be satisfactorily employed in the present case. We present a tool for pattern recognition and validate the code including a real physical case study. The results of applying the artificial neural networks methodology to crowd patterns based upon selected physical properties （e.g., temperature, density） show the abilities of the network to learn proton transfer patterns corresponding to properties of the aqueous environments, which is in turn proved to be fully compatible with previous proton transfer studies.展开更多

However, land-use classification requires highly trained, complex learning algorithms for accurate classification. Current machine learning techniques already exist to provide accurate image recognition. This research paper develops an image-based land-use classifier using transfer learning with a pre-trained ResNet-18 convolutional neural network. Variations of the resulting approach were compared to show a direct relationship between training dataset size and epoch length to accuracy. Experiment results show that transfer learning is an effective way to create models to classify satellite images of land-use with a predictive performance. This approach would be beneficial to the monitoring and predicting of urban development patterns, management of water and other natural resources, and land-use planning.展开更多

In this new model,the gradient descent algorithm is replaced by the LM algorithm to obtain the minimum of output errors during network training,which changes the weights adjusting equations of the network and increases the training speed. Moreover,to avoid the results yielding to local minimum,the transfer function is also revised to sigmoid function. A case study is utilized to validate this new model,and the results reveal that the new model fast training speed and better forecasting capability.展开更多

It shares symptoms with other respiratory illnesses such as pneumonia and influenza, making rapid and accurate diagnosis essential to treat individuals and halt further transmission. X-ray imaging of the lungs is one of the most reliable diagnostic tools. Utilizing deep learning, we can train models to recognize the signs of infection, thus aiding in the identification of COVID-19 cases. For our project, we developed a deep learning model utilizing the ResNet50 architecture, pre-trained with ImageNet and CheXNet datasets. We tackled the challenge of an imbalanced dataset, the CoronaHack Chest X-Ray dataset provided by Kaggle, through both binary and multi-class classification approaches. Additionally, we evaluated the performance impact of using Focal loss versus Cross-entropy loss in our model.展开更多
