Brain tumors are a type of tumor with a high mortality rate. Since multifocal-looking tumors in the brain can resemble multicentric gliomas or gliomatosis, accurate detection of the tumor is required during the treatment process. The similarity of neurological and radiological findings also complicates the classification of these tumors. Fast and accurate classification is important…

Contextual continuous word representation showed promising performances in different natural language processing tasks. It stems from the fact that these word representations consider the context in which a word appears. But until recently, very little attention was paid to the contextual representations in Arabic question classification task. In the present study, we employed a contextual…

Analysis and classification of lung diseases using X-ray images is a primary step in the procedure of pneumonia diagnosis, especially in a critical period as pandemic of COVID-19 that is type of pneumonia. Therefore, an automatic method with high accuracy of classification is needed to perform classification of lung diseases due to the increasing number…

Suppose we want to classify a query item Q with a classification model that consists of a large set of predefined classes L and suppose we have a knowledge that indicates to us that the target class of Q belongs to a small subset from L. Naturally, this filtering will improve the accuracy of any…

Vehicle systems are controlled by embedded electronic devices called electronic control units (ECUs). These ECUs are connected together with network protocols. The Controller Area Network (CAN) protocol is widely implemented due to its high fault tolerance. However, the CAN is a serial broadcast bus, and it has no protection against security threats. In this paper,…

Vietnam is one of the top 5 largest shrimp exporters globally, and Mekong delta of Vietnam contributes more than 80% of total national production. Along with intensive farming and growing shrimp farming area, diseases are a severe threat to productivity and sustainable development. Timely response to emerging shrimp diseases is critical. Early detection and treatment…

Estimation Solar radiation is the most significant part of the optimization of solar power. This may be achieved if the solar radiation is predicted well in advance. Meteorological stations have radiation measuring devices like pyranometer, pyrheliometer, radiometer, solarimeter, etc. however, it may not be available at the location of interest for researchers. Due to this…

In this paper a classification system based on a complex-valued neural network is used to evaluate the health state of joints in high voltage overhead transmission lines. The aim of this method is to prevent breakages on the joints through the frequency response measurements obtained at the initial point of the network. The specific advantage…

Restoring, estimating the fully 3D hand skeleton and pose from the image data of the captured sensors/cameras applied in many applications of computer vision and robotics: human-computer interaction; gesture recognition, interactive games, Computer-Aided Design (CAD), sign languages, action recognition, etc. These are applications that flourish in Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality (VR/AR) technologies. Previous survey…

This paper presents a solution that automates Abaca fiber grading which would help the time-consuming baling of Abaca fiber produce. The study introduces an objective instrument paired with a system to automate the grade classification of Abaca fiber using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). In this study, 140 sample images of abaca fibers were used, which…

As many digital documents are required in various environments, paper documents are digitized by scanner, fax, digital camera and specific software. In the case of a scanned document, we need to check whether the document is right sided or upside down because the orientation of the scanned document is determined by the orientation in which…

Fraud, as regards means of payment, means the behavior of any legal or natural one that makes an abnormal or irregular use of a way of payment, elements of it or information contained therein, to improperly obtain an honest, service or enrichment, and or causing financial damage to the one that has distributed the means…

Time-series is a sequence of observations that are taken sequentially over time. Modelling a system that generates a future value from past observations is considered as time-series forecasting system. Recurrent neural network is a machine learning method that is widely used in the prediction of future values. Due to variant improvements on recurrent neural networks,…

Blurred small objects produced by cropping, warping, or intrinsically so, are challenging to detect and classify. Therefore, much recent research is focused on feature extraction built on Faster R-CNN and follow-up systems. In particular, RPN, SPP, FPN, SSD, and DSSD are the layered feature extraction methods for multiple object detections and small objects. However, super-resolution…

Bull service is the natural copulation by a purebred male carabao with a female counterpart. This is part of the bull loan agenda of the Philippine Carabao Center-Visayas State University (PCC-VSU), one of the 12 regional centers of PCC. For the past years, PCC-VSU used averaging of bull services count of previous years and sometimes…

As an emergent technology in Internet of Things (IoT), the ultimate target of fog computing is to provide a widely distributed computational resources and data repository closer to the network edge providing heterogeneous systems both in terms of software and hardware. The fog system must have the capability to deal with huge number of resources…

This paper presents the setup of eye tracking calibration methodology and the preliminary test results of the training model from the eye tracking data. Eye tracking requires good accuracy from the calibration process of the human eyes feature extraction from facial region. Viola-Jones algorithm is applied for this purpose by using Haar Basic feature filters…

This paper addresses the generation of stylized texts in a multilingual setup. A long short-term memory (LSTM) language model with extended phonetic and semantic embeddings is shown to capture poetic style when trained end-to-end without any expert knowledge. Phonetics seems to have a comparable contribution to the overall model performance as the information on the…

TransJakarta is one of the methods to reduce congestion in Jakarta. However, the number of TransJakarta users compared to number of private vehicle users is very small, only 24% of the total population in Jakarta. The purpose of this research is to know public opinions about TransJakarta whether positive or negative by doing sentiment analysis…

We present findings on classifying the class of executable code using convolutional, re- current neural networks by creating images from only the .text section of executables and dividing them into standard-size windows, using minimal preprocessing. We achieve up to 98.24% testing accuracy on classifying 9 types of malware, and 99.50% testing accuracy on classifying malicious…

An artificial neural network (ANN) computing system can be significantly influenced by its implementation type. The software implemented ANN can produce high accuracy output with slow computation time performance compared to hardware implemented ANN which runs at a faster computation time but with low accuracy. Normally, software implementation reduces the proficiency and efficiency of the…

There is no doubt that a good knowledge of traffic demand has a direct impact on improving traffic management. Road traffic is strongly correlated with many factors such as day of week, time of day, season and holidays which make it suitable for prediction. In this paper, we develop a neural network model for hourly…

The major problem in electric utility is Electrical Theft, which is harmful to electric power suppliers and causes economic loss. Detecting and controlling electrical theft is a challenging task that involves several aspects like economic, social, regional, managerial, political, infrastructural, literacy rate, etc. Numerous methods were proposed formerly for detecting electricity theft. However, the previous…
