Accurate traffic flow prediction is increasingly essential for successful traffic modeling, operation, and management. Traditional data driven traffic flow prediction approaches have largely assumed restrictive (shallow) model architectures and do not leverage the large amount of environmental data available. Inspired by deep learning methods with more complex model architectures and effective data mining capabilities, this paper introduces the deep belief network (DBN) and long short-term memory (LSTM) to predict urban traffic flow considering the impact of rainfall. The rainfall-integrated DBN and LSTM can learn the features of traffic flow under various rainfall scenarios. Experimental results indicate that, with the consideration of additional rainfall factor, the deep learning predictors have better accuracy than existing predictors and also yield improvements over the original deep learning models without rainfall input. Furthermore, the LSTM can outperform the DBN to capture the time series characteristics of traffic flow data.
Accurately understanding driving behaviour is of crucial importance for advanced driving assistant systems such as adaptive cruise control system and intelligent forward collision warning system. To understand different driving styles, this study employs the clustering method and topic model to extract latent driving states, which can elaborate and analyse the commonness and individuality of driving behaviour characteristics with the longitudinal driving behaviour data collected by the instrumented vehicle. To handle the large set of data and discover the valuable knowledge, the data mining techniques including ensemble clustering method based on the kernel fuzzy C-means algorithm and the modified latent Dirichlet allocation model are employed in this study. The 'aggressive', 'cautious' and 'moderate' driving states are discovered and the underlying quantified structure is built for the driving style analysis.
Accurate diagnosis of psychiatric disorders plays a critical role in improving the quality of life for patients and potentially supports the development of new treatments. Graph convolutional networks (GCNs) are shown to be successful in modeling applications with graph structures. However, training an accurate GCNs model for brain networks faces several challenges, including high dimensional and noisy correlation in the brain networks, limited labeled training data, and depth limitation of GCN learning. Generalization and interpretability are important in developing predictive models for clinical diagnosis. To address these challenges, we proposed an ensemble framework involving hierarchical GCN and transfer learning for sparse brain networks, which allows GCN to capture the intrinsic correlation among the subjects and domains, to improve the network embedding learning for disease diagnosis. Extensive experiments on two real medical clinical applications: diagnosis of Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) on both the ADNI and ABIDE databases, showing the effectiveness of the proposed framework. We achieved state-of-the-art accuracy and AUC for AD/ MCI and ASD/NC (Normal control) classification in comparison with studies that used functional connectivity as features or GCN models. The proposed TE-HI-GCN model achieves the best classification performance, leading to about 27.93% (31.38%) improvement for ASD and 16.86% (44.50%) for AD in terms of accuracy and AUC compared with the traditional GCN model. Moreover, the obtained clustering results show high correspondence with the previous neuroimaging derived evidence of within and between-networks biomarkers for ASD. The discovered subnetworks are used as evidence for the proposed TE-HI-GCN model. Furthermore, this work is the first attempt of transfer learning on the two related disorder domains to uncover the correlation among the two diseases with a transfer learning scheme.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
