In 2018, the U.S. national institute of standards and technology (NIST) conducted the most recent in an ongoing series of speaker recognition evaluations (SRE). SRE18 was organized in a similar manner to SRE16, focusing on speaker detection over
In this paper cooperative spectrum sharing is considered between a primary user (PU) and a secondary user(SU), where the off-the-grid secondary transmitter (ST) serves as a cognitive relay to forward both the received primary and secondary signals by

Predicting Retinal Pigment Epithelium (RPE) cell functions in stem cell implants using non-invasive bright field microscopy imaging is a critical task for clinical deployment of stem cell therapies. Such cell function predictions can be carried out either
Under the new service paradigm, artificial intelligence (AI) can play a significant role in the new generation of wireless communications systems. This special issue presents a comprehensive overview of research challenges and opportunities regarding

We address the problem of segmenting cell contours from microscopy images of human induced pluripotent Retinal Pigment Epithelial stem cells (iRPE) using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). Our goal is to compare the accuracy gains of CNN-based
Binary classification problems include such things as classifying email messages as spam or non-spam and screening for the presence of disease (which can be seen as classifying a subject as disease-positive or disease- negative). Both Bayesian and
How to model and encode the semantics of human-written text and select the type of neural network to process it with are not settled issues in sentiment analysis. Accuracy and transferability are critical issues in machine learning in general. These

Statistical metamodels can robustly predict manufacturing process and engineering systems design results. Various techniques, such as Kriging, polynomial regression, artificial neural network and others, are each best suited for different scenarios that
Deep neural networks have demonstrated their effectiveness in most machine learning tasks, with intrusion detection included. Unfortunately, recent research found that deep neural networks are vulnerable to adversarial examples in the image classification
