Annual Frequency of Tropical Cyclones Directly Affecting Guangdong Province:Prediction Based on LSTM-FC

Tropical cyclone(TC)annual frequency forecasting is significant for disaster prevention and mitigation in Guangdong Province.Based on the NCEP-NCAR reanalysis and NOAA Extended Reconstructed global sea surface temperature(SST)V5 data in winter,the TC frequency climatic features and prediction models have been studied.During 1951-2019,353 TCs directly affected Guangdong with an annual average of about 5.1.TCs have experienced an abrupt change from abundance to deficiency in the mid to late 1980 with a slightly decreasing trend and a normal distribution.338 primary precursors are obtained from statistically significant correlation regions of SST,sea level pressure,1000hPa air temperature,850hPa specific humidity,500hPa geopotential height and zonal wind shear in winter.Then those 338 primary factors are reduced into 19 independent predictors by principal component analysis(PCA).Furthermore,the Multiple Linear Regression(MLR),the Gaussian Process Regression(GPR)and the Long Short-term Memory Networks and Fully Connected Layers(LSTM-FC)models are constructed relying on the above 19 factors.For three different kinds of test sets from 2010 to 2019,2011 to 2019 and 2010 to 2019,the root mean square errors(RMSEs)of MLR,GPR and LSTM-FC between prediction and observations fluctuate within the range of 1.05-2.45,1.00-1.93 and 0.71-0.95 as well as the average absolute errors(AAEs)0.88-1.0,0.75-1.36 and 0.50-0.70,respectively.As for the 2010-2019 experiment,the mean deviations of the three model outputs from the observation are 0.89,0.78 and 0.56,together with the average evaluation scores 82.22,84.44 and 88.89,separately.The prediction skill comparisons unveil that LSTM-FC model has a better performance than MLR and GPR.In conclusion,the deep learning model of LSTM-FC may shed light on improving the accuracy of short-term climate prediction about TC frequency.The current research can provide experience on the development of deep learning in this field and help to achieve further progress of TC disaster prevention and mitigation in Guangdong Province.

Computer vision-based six layered ConvNeural network to recognize sign language for both numeral and alphabet signs

People who have trouble communicating verbally are often dependent on sign language,which can be difficult for most people to understand,making interaction with them a difficult endeavor.The Sign Language Recognition(SLR)system takes an input expression from a hearing or speaking-impaired person and outputs it in the form of text or voice to a normal person.The existing study related to the Sign Language Recognition system has some drawbacks,such as a lack of large datasets and datasets with a range of backgrounds,skin tones,and ages.This research efficiently focuses on Sign Language Recognition to overcome previous limitations.Most importantly,we use our proposed Convolutional Neural Network(CNN)model,“ConvNeural”,in order to train our dataset.Additionally,we develop our own datasets,“BdSL_OPSA22_STATIC1”and“BdSL_OPSA22_STATIC2”,both of which have ambiguous backgrounds.“BdSL_OPSA22_STATIC1”and“BdSL_OPSA22_STATIC2”both include images of Bangla characters and numerals,a total of 24,615 and 8437 images,respectively.The“ConvNeural”model outperforms the pre-trained models with accuracy of 98.38%for“BdSL_OPSA22_STATIC1”and 92.78%for“BdSL_OPSA22_STATIC2”.For“BdSL_OPSA22_STATIC1”dataset,we get precision,recall,F1-score,sensitivity and specificity of 96%,95%,95%,99.31%,and 95.78%respectively.Moreover,in case of“BdSL_OPSA22_STATIC2”dataset,we achieve precision,recall,F1-score,sensitivity and specificity of 90%,88%,88%,100%,and 100%respectively.

High accuracy offering attention mechanisms based deep learning approach using CNN/bi-LSTM for sentiment analysis

Purpose-Neural network(NN)-based deep learning(DL)approach is considered for sentiment analysis(SA)by incorporating convolutional neural network(CNN),bi-directional long short-term memory(Bi-LSTM)and attention methods.Unlike the conventional supervised machine learning natural language processing algorithms,the authors have used unsupervised deep learning algorithms.Design/methodology/approach-The method presented for sentiment analysis is designed using CNN,Bi-LSTM and the attention mechanism.Word2vec word embedding is used for natural language processing(NLP).The discussed approach is designed for sentence-level SA which consists of one embedding layer,two convolutional layers with max-pooling,oneLSTMlayer and two fully connected(FC)layers.Overall the system training time is 30 min.Findings-The method performance is analyzed using metrics like precision,recall,F1 score,and accuracy.CNN is helped to reduce the complexity and Bi-LSTM is helped to process the long sequence input text.Originality/value-The attention mechanism is adopted to decide the significance of every hidden state and give a weighted sum of all the features fed as input.
