“…Another advantage of ReLU is that it is easy to compute as the output equals the input if the input is non-negative; otherwise, it equals 0 . This ability can alleviate the gradient vanishing and exploding problems that usually occur with the sigmoid or tanh activation functions [40]. Various optimization algorithms, namely, Adam (Adaptive Moment Estimation), SGD (Stochastic Gradient Descent), and RMSprop were employed during the optimization of the model.…”
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused millions of deaths and changed daily life globally. Countries have declared a half or full lockdown to prevent the spread of COVID-19. According to medical doctors, as many people as possible should be tested to identify their status, and corresponding actions then should be taken for COVID-19 positive cases. Despite the clear necessity of these medical tests, many countries are still struggling to acquire them. This fact clearly indicates the necessity of a large-scale, cheap, fast, and accurate alternative pre-screening tool that can be used for the diagnosis of COVID-19 while waiting for the medical tests. To this end, a novel end-to-end transfer learning-based deep learning approach that uses only a given cough sound for the diagnosis of COVID-19 was proposed in this study.The proposed models employed various pre-trained deep neural networks, namely, VGG19, ResNet50V2, DenseNet121, and MobileNet, via the transfer-learning technique. Then, these models were evaluated on a gold standard dataset, namely, Cambridge Data. According to the experimental result, the proposed model, which employed the MobileNet via the transfer-learning technique, provided the best accuracy, 86.42 %, and outperformed the state-of-the-art. Thus, the proposed model has the potential to provide automated COVID-19 diagnosis in an easily applicable and fast yet accurate way.

“…The ReLU and the Softsign functions are applied. The ReLU function performs a threshold operation to set any input less than zero to zero [29]. The Softsign function has the flatr curve and slow decreasing derivatives for more efficient learning [30].…”
With the development of technology, speed prediction has become an important part of intelligent vehicle control strategies. However, the time-varying and nonlinear nature of vehicle speed increases the complexity and difficulty of prediction. Therefore, a CNN-based neural network architecture with two channel input (DICNN) is proposed in this paper. With two inputs and four channels, DICNN can predict the speed changes in the next 5 s by extracting the temporal information of 10 vehicle signals and the driver’s intention. The prediction performances of DICNN are firstly examined. The best RMSE, MAE, ME and R2 are obtained compared with a Markov chain combined with Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulation, a support vector machine (SVM) and a single input CNN (SICNN). Secondly, equivalent fuel consumption minimization strategies (ECMS) combining different vehicle speed prediction methods are constructed. After verification by simulation, the equivalent fuel consumption of the simulation increases by only 4.89% compared with dynamic-programming-based energy management strategy and decreased by 5.40% compared with the speed prediction method with low accuracy.
“…Besides, they have an acceptable degree of smoothness and are easily differentiated, 44 unlike a ReLU function, which has a differentiation problem that can lead to a dying ReLU problem. 45 The interested reader is referred to 32 for a detailed description of DNN and autoencoder algorithms.…”

SUMMARY
Forward kinematics is essential in robot control. Its resolution remains a challenge for continuum manipulators because of their inherent flexibility. Learning-based approaches allow obtaining accurate models. However, they suffer from the explosion of the learning database that wears down the manipulator during data collection. This paper proposes an approach that combines the model and learning-based approaches. The learning database is derived from analytical equations to prevent the robot from operating for long periods. The database obtained is handled using Deep Neural Networks (DNNs). The Compact Bionic Handling robot serves as an experimental platform. The comparison with existing approaches gives satisfaction.
