The reservoir computing neural network architecture is widely used to test hardware systems for neuromorphic computing. One of the preferred tasks for bench-marking such devices is automatic speech recognition (ASR). However, this task requires acoustic
How to model and encode the semantics of human-written text and select the type of neural network to process it are not settled issues in sentiment analysis. Accuracy and transferability are critical issues in machine learning in general. These properties

Many industries, including manufacturing, are adopting data analytics (DA) in making decisions to improve quality, cost, and on-time delivery. In recent years, more research and development efforts have applied DA to additive manufacturing (AM) decision
From a traditional point of view, the value of information does not change during transmission. The Shannon information theory considers information transmission as a statistical phenomenon for measuring the communication channel capacity. However, in

Despite significant progress in natural language processing, machine learning models require substantial expert-annotated training data to perform well in tasks such as named entity recognition (NER) and entity relations extraction. Furthermore, NER is
I present a computationally efficient and accurate feedforward neural network for sentiment prediction capable of maintaining high transfer accuracy when coupled with an effective semantics model of the text. Experimental results show the advantages of the

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

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
