Abstract This article focuses on the challenges of modeling energy supply systems for buildings, encompassing both methods and tools for simulating thermal regimes and engineering systems within buildings. Enhancing the comfort of living or working in buildings often necessitates increased consumption of energy and material, such as for thermal upgrades, which consequently incurs additional economic costs. It is crucial to acknowledge that such improvements do not always lead to a decrease in total pollutant emissions, considering emissions across all stages of production and usage of energy and materials aimed at boosting energy efficiency and comfort in… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Deep learning (DL) has emerged as a powerful subset of machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI), outperforming traditional ML methods, especially in handling unstructured and large datasets. Its impact spans across various domains, including speech recognition, healthcare, autonomous vehicles, cybersecurity, predictive analytics, and more. However, the complexity and dynamic nature of real-world problems present challenges in designing effective deep learning models. Consequently, several deep learning models have been developed to address different problems and applications.

Abstract Incredible progress has been made in human action recognition (HAR), significantly impacting computer vision applications in sports analytics. However, identifying dynamic and complex movements in sports like badminton remains challenging due to the need for precise recognition accuracy and better management of complex motion patterns. Deep learning techniques like convolutional neural networks (CNNs), long short-term memory (LSTM), and graph convolutional networks (GCNs) improve recognition in large datasets, while the traditional machine learning methods like SVM (support vector machines), RF (random forest), and LR (logistic regression), combined with handcrafted features and ensemble approaches, perform well but… More >

Abstract Understanding the competitive adsorption behavior of CO₂ and CH₄ in shale nanopores is crucial for enhancing the recovery of shale gas and sequestration of CO₂, which is determined by both the inherent characteristics of the molecules and external environmental factors such as pore size, temperature, and partial pressures of CO₂ and CH₄. While the competitive adsorption behavior of CO₂/CH₄ has been analyzed by previous studies, a comprehensive understanding from the perspective of molecular kinetic theory and the efficient calculation for competitive adsorption behavior considering various geological situations is still challenging, limited by the huge computation cost of classical… More >

Abstract Human Interaction Recognition (HIR) was one of the challenging issues in computer vision research due to the involvement of multiple individuals and their mutual interactions within video frames generated from their movements. HIR requires more sophisticated analysis than Human Action Recognition (HAR) since HAR focuses solely on individual activities like walking or running, while HIR involves the interactions between people. This research aims to develop a robust system for recognizing five common human interactions, such as hugging, kicking, pushing, pointing, and no interaction, from video sequences using multiple cameras. In this study, a hybrid Deep… More >

Abstract Although sentiment analysis is pivotal to understanding user preferences, existing models face significant challenges in handling context-dependent sentiments, sarcasm, and nuanced emotions. This study addresses these challenges by integrating ontology-based methods with deep learning models, thereby enhancing sentiment analysis accuracy in complex domains such as film reviews and restaurant feedback. The framework comprises explicit topic recognition, followed by implicit topic identification to mitigate topic interference in subsequent sentiment analysis. In the context of sentiment analysis, we develop an expanded sentiment lexicon based on domain-specific corpora by leveraging techniques such as word-frequency analysis and word embedding. More >

Abstract Cancer poses a significant threat due to its aggressive nature, potential for widespread metastasis, and inherent heterogeneity, which often leads to resistance to chemotherapy. Lung cancer ranks among the most prevalent forms of cancer worldwide, affecting individuals of all genders. Timely and accurate lung cancer detection is critical for improving cancer patients’ treatment outcomes and survival rates. Screening examinations for lung cancer detection, however, frequently fall short of detecting small polyps and cancers. To address these limitations, computer-aided techniques for lung cancer detection prove to be invaluable resources for both healthcare practitioners and patients alike.… More >

Abstract Myelin damage and a wide range of symptoms are caused by the immune system targeting the central nervous system in Multiple Sclerosis (MS), a chronic autoimmune neurological condition. It disrupts signals between the brain and body, causing symptoms including tiredness, muscle weakness, and difficulty with memory and balance. Traditional methods for detecting MS are less precise and time-consuming, which is a major gap in addressing this problem. This gap has motivated the investigation of new methods to improve MS detection consistency and accuracy. This paper proposed a novel approach named FAD consisting of Deep Neural Network… More >
