Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have a major impact on our society, because of the numerous services they provide. These services include, but are not limited to image classification, video analysis, and speech recognition. Recently, the number...

One of the most recent speaker recognition methods that demonstrates outstanding performance in noisy environments involves extracting the speaker embedding using attention mechanism instead of average or statistics pooling. In the attention method,...

This paper proposes a small-footprint wake-up-word (WUW) recognition system for real noisy environments by employing the competing-words-based feature. Competing-words-based features are generated using a ResNet-based deep neural network with small p...

The semantic segmentation of a brain tumor is of paramount importance for its treatment and prevention. Recently, researches have proposed various neural network-based architectures to improve the performance of segmentation of brain tumor sub-region...

Electronic nose is an electronic olfactory system that simulates the biological olfactory mechanism, which mainly includes gas sensor, data pre-processing, and pattern recognition. In recent years, the proposals of electronic nose have been widely de...

This paper presents an enhanced maximum power point tracking approach to extract power from photovoltaic panels. The proposed method uses an artificial neural network technique to improve the fractional open-circuit voltage method by learning the cor...

In order to detect the vehicle presence in parking slots, different approaches have been utilized, which range from image recognition to sensing via detection nodes. The last one is usually based on getting the presence data from one or more sensors...

The industrial sector has a great opportunity to reduce its energy costs through distributed generation. In this sense, the potential of photovoltaic self-consumption systems in the industrial cooling and refrigeration sector is shown. Two industries...

Mobile devices and social media have been used to create empowering healthcare services. However, privacy and security concerns remain. Furthermore, the integration of interoperability biomedical standards is a strategic feature. Thus, the objective...

Smart grid technology enables active participation of the consumers to reschedule their energy consumption through demand response (DR). The price-based program in demand response indirectly induces consumers to dynamically vary their energy use patt...
