Combined CNN-LSTM Deep Learning Algorithms for Recognizing Human Physical Activities in Large and Distributed Manners:A Recommendation System

Recognizing human activity(HAR)from data in a smartphone sensor plays an important role in the field of health to prevent chronic diseases.Daily and weekly physical activities are recorded on the smartphone and tell the user whether he is moving well or not.Typically,smartphones and their associated sensing devices operate in distributed and unstable environments.Therefore,collecting their data and extracting useful information is a significant challenge.In this context,the aimof this paper is twofold:The first is to analyze human behavior based on the recognition of physical activities.Using the results of physical activity detection and classification,the second part aims to develop a health recommendation system to notify smartphone users about their healthy physical behavior related to their physical activities.This system is based on the calculation of calories burned by each user during physical activities.In this way,conclusions can be drawn about a person’s physical behavior by estimating the number of calories burned after evaluating data collected daily or even weekly following a series of physical workouts.To identify and classify human behavior our methodology is based on artificial intelligence models specifically deep learning techniques like Long Short-Term Memory(LSTM),stacked LSTM,and bidirectional LSTM.Since human activity data contains both spatial and temporal information,we proposed,in this paper,to use of an architecture allowing the extraction of the two types of information simultaneously.While Convolutional Neural Networks(CNN)has an architecture designed for spatial information,our idea is to combine CNN with LSTM to increase classification accuracy by taking into consideration the extraction of both spatial and temporal data.The results obtained achieved an accuracy of 96%.On the other side,the data learned by these algorithms is prone to error and uncertainty.To overcome this constraint and improve performance(96%),we proposed to use the fusion mechanisms.The last combines deep learning classifiers tomodel non-accurate and ambiguous data to obtain synthetic information to aid in decision-making.The Voting and Dempster-Shafer(DS)approaches are employed.The results showed that fused classifiers based on DS theory outperformed individual classifiers(96%)with the highest accuracy level of 98%.Also,the findings disclosed that participants engaging in physical activities are healthy,showcasing a disparity in the distribution of physical activities between men and women.

Graph learning,when used as a semi-supervised learning(SSL)method,performs well for classification tasks with a low label rate.We provide a graph-based batch active learning pipeline for pixel/patch neighborhood multi-or hyperspectral image segmentation.Our batch active learning approach selects a collection of unlabeled pixels that satisfy a graph local maximum constraint for the active learning acquisition function that determines the relative importance of each pixel to the classification.This work builds on recent advances in the design of novel active learning acquisition functions(e.g.,the Model Change approach in arXiv:2110.07739)while adding important further developments including patch-neighborhood image analysis and batch active learning methods to further increase the accuracy and greatly increase the computational efficiency of these methods.In addition to improvements in the accuracy,our approach can greatly reduce the number of labeled pixels needed to achieve the same level of the accuracy based on randomly selected labeled pixels.

Model Change Active Learning in Graph-Based Semi-supervised Learning

Active learning in semi-supervised classification involves introducing additional labels for unlabelled data to improve the accuracy of the underlying classifier.A challenge is to identify which points to label to best improve performance while limiting the number of new labels."Model Change"active learning quantifies the resulting change incurred in the classifier by introducing the additional label(s).We pair this idea with graph-based semi-supervised learning(SSL)methods,that use the spectrum of the graph Laplacian matrix,which can be truncated to avoid prohibitively large computational and storage costs.We consider a family of convex loss functions for which the acquisition function can be efficiently approximated using the Laplace approximation of the posterior distribution.We show a variety of multiclass examples that illustrate improved performance over prior state-of-art.

A Modified Iterative Learning Control Approach for the Active Suppression of Rotor Vibration Induced by Coupled Unbalance and Misalignment

This paper proposes a modified iterative learning control(MILC)periodical feedback-feedforward algorithm to reduce the vibration of a rotor caused by coupled unbalance and parallel misalignment.The control of the vibration of the rotor is provided by an active magnetic actuator(AMA).The iterative gain of the MILC algorithm here presented has a self-adjustment based on the magnitude of the vibration.Notch filters are adopted to extract the synchronous(1×Ω)and twice rotational frequency(2×Ω)components of the rotor vibration.Both the notch frequency of the filter and the size of feedforward storage used during the experiment have a real-time adaptation to the rotational speed.The method proposed in this work can provide effective suppression of the vibration of the rotor in case of sudden changes or fluctuations of the rotor speed.Simulations and experiments using the MILC algorithm proposed here are carried out and give evidence to the feasibility and robustness of the technique proposed.

A Universal Activation Function for Deep Learning

Recently,deep learning has achieved remarkable results in fields that require human cognitive ability,learning ability,and reasoning ability.Activation functions are very important because they provide the ability of artificial neural networks to learn complex patterns through nonlinearity.Various activation functions are being studied to solve problems such as vanishing gradients and dying nodes that may occur in the deep learning process.However,it takes a lot of time and effort for researchers to use the existing activation function in their research.Therefore,in this paper,we propose a universal activation function(UA)so that researchers can easily create and apply various activation functions and improve the performance of neural networks.UA can generate new types of activation functions as well as functions like traditional activation functions by properly adjusting three hyperparameters.The famous Convolutional Neural Network(CNN)and benchmark datasetwere used to evaluate the experimental performance of the UA proposed in this study.We compared the performance of the artificial neural network to which the traditional activation function is applied and the artificial neural network to which theUA is applied.In addition,we evaluated the performance of the new activation function generated by adjusting the hyperparameters of theUA.The experimental performance evaluation results showed that the classification performance of CNNs improved by up to 5%through the UA,although most of them showed similar performance to the traditional activation function.

Distributed Active Partial Label Learning

Active learning(AL)trains a high-precision predictor model from small numbers of labeled data by iteratively annotating the most valuable data sample from an unlabeled data pool with a class label throughout the learning process.However,most current AL methods start with the premise that the labels queried at AL rounds must be free of ambiguity,which may be unrealistic in some real-world applications where only a set of candidate labels can be obtained for selected data.Besides,most of the existing AL algorithms only consider the case of centralized processing,which necessitates gathering together all the unlabeled data in one fusion center for selection.Considering that data are collected/stored at different nodes over a network in many real-world scenarios,distributed processing is chosen here.In this paper,the issue of distributed classification of partially labeled(PL)data obtained by a fully decentralized AL method is focused on,and a distributed active partial label learning(dAPLL)algorithm is proposed.Our proposed algorithm is composed of a fully decentralized sample selection strategy and a distributed partial label learning(PLL)algorithm.During the sample selection process,both the uncertainty and representativeness of the data are measured based on the global cluster centers obtained by a distributed clustering method,and the valuable samples are chosen in turn.Meanwhile,using the disambiguation-free strategy,a series of binary classification problems can be constructed,and the corresponding cost-sensitive classifiers can be cooperatively trained in a distributed manner.The experiment results conducted on several datasets demonstrate that the performance of the dAPLL algorithm is comparable to that of the corresponding centralized method and is superior to the existing active PLL(APLL)method in different parameter configurations.Besides,our proposed algorithm outperforms several current PLL methods using the random selection strategy,especially when only small amounts of data are selected to be assigned with the candidate labels.

Convolution-Based Heterogeneous Activation Facility for Effective Machine Learning of ECG Signals

Machine Learning(ML)and Deep Learning(DL)technologies are revolutionizing the medical domain,especially with Electrocardiogram(ECG),by providing new tools and techniques for diagnosing,treating,and preventing diseases.However,DL architectures are computationally more demanding.In recent years,researchers have focused on combining the computationally less intensive portion of the DL architectures with ML approaches,say for example,combining the convolutional layer blocks of Convolution Neural Networks(CNNs)into ML algorithms such as Extreme Gradient Boosting(XGBoost)and K-Nearest Neighbor(KNN)resulting in CNN-XGBoost and CNN-KNN,respectively.However,these approaches are homogenous in the sense that they use a fixed Activation Function(AFs)in the sequence of convolution and pooling layers,thereby limiting the ability to capture unique features.Since various AFs are readily available and each could capture unique features,we propose a Convolutionbased Heterogeneous Activation Facility(CHAF)which uses multiple AFs in the convolution layer blocks,one for each block,with a motivation of extracting features in a better manner to improve the accuracy.The proposed CHAF approach is validated on PTB and shown to outperform the homogeneous approaches such as CNN-KNN and CNN-XGBoost.For PTB dataset,proposed CHAF-KNN has an accuracy of 99.55%and an F1 score of 99.68%in just 0.008 s,outperforming the state-of-the-art CNN-XGBoost which has an accuracy of 99.38%and an F1 score of 99.32%in 1.23 s.To validate the generality of the proposed CHAF,experiments were repeated on MIT-BIH dataset,and the proposed CHAF-KNN is shown to outperform CNN-KNN and CNN-XGBoost.
