Parkinson's disease, one of the three major diseases in old age, has more than 70 % of patients with speech disorders, and recently, diagnostic methods of Parkinson's disease through speech signals have been devised. In this paper, we propose a method of diagnosis of Parkinson's disease based on deep residual gated recurrent neural network using speech features. In the proposed method, the speech features for diagnosing Parkinson's disease are selected and applied to the deep residual gated recurrent neural network to classify Parkinson's disease patients. The proposed deep residual gated recurrent neural network, an algorithm combining residual learning with deep gated recurrent neural network, has a higher recognition rate than the traditional method in Parkinson's disease diagnosis.

Recently, deep recurrent neural networks have achieved great success in various machine learning tasks, and have also been applied for sound event detection. The detection of temporally overlapping sound events in realistic environments is much more challenging than in monophonic detection problems. In this paper, we present an approach to improve the accuracy of polyphonic sound event detection in multichannel audio based on gated recurrent neural networks in combination with auditory spectral features. In the proposed method, human hearing perception-based spatial and spectral-domain noise-reduced harmonic features are extracted from multichannel audio and used as high-resolution spectral inputs to train gated recurrent neural networks. This provides a fast and stable convergence rate compared to long short-term memory recurrent neural networks. Our evaluation reveals that the proposed method outperforms the conventional approaches.

Recurrent Neural Network technology that learns past patterns and predicts future patterns using technology for recognizing and classifying objects is being applied to various industries, economies, and languages. And research for practical use is making a lot of progress. However, research on the application of Recurrent Neural Networks for evaluating and predicting the safety of mechanical structures is insufficient. Accurate detection of external load applied to the outside is required to evaluate the safety of mechanical structures. Learning of Recurrent Neural Networks for this requires a large amount of load data. This study applied the Gated Recurrent Unit technique to examine the possibility of load learning and investigated the possibility of applying a stacked Auto Encoder as a way to secure load data. In addition, the usefulness of learning mechanical loads was analyzed with the Gated Recurrent Unit technique, and the basic setting of related functions and parameters was proposed to secure accuracy in the recognition and prediction of loads.

In order to determine erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) indicating acute phase inflammation, a Westergren method has been widely used because it is cheap and easy to be implemented. However, the Westergren method requires quite a long time for 1 hour. In this study, a gated recurrent unit (GRU) neural network was used to reduce measurement time of ESR evaluation. The sedimentation sequences of the erythrocytes were acquired by the camera and data processed through image processing were used as an input data into the neural network models. The performance of a proposed models was evaluated based on mean absolute error. The results show that GRU model provides best accurate prediction than others within 30 minutes.

In this paper, we propose a method to extract and classify features of multi-channel ElectroEncephalo Graphy (EEG) that change according to various musical tempo stimuli. In the proposed method, a 3D convolutional bidirectional gated recurrent neural network extracts spatio-temporal and long time-dependent features from the 3D EEG input representation transformed through the preprocessing. The experimental results show that the proposed tempo stimuli classification method is superior to the existing method and the possibility of constructing a music-based brain-computer interface.

In this paper, we propose a method to classify a document using a Recurrent Neural Network by extracting features considering word sense and contexts. Word2vec method is adopted to include the order and meaning of the words expressing the word in the document as a vector. Doc2vec is applied for considering the context to extract the feature of the document. RNN classifier, which includes the output of the previous node as the input of the next node, is used as the document classification method. RNN classifier presents good performance for document classification because it is suitable for sequence data among neural network classifiers. We applied GRU (Gated Recurrent Unit) model which solves the vanishing gradient problem of RNN. It also reduces computation speed. We used one Hangul document set and two English document sets for the experiments and GRU based document classifier improves performance by about 3.5% compared to CNN based document classifier.

This paper describes a recurrent neural network (RNN) for the fault classification of a blade pitch system of a spar-type floating wind turbine. An artificial neural network (ANN) can effectively recognize multiple faults of a system and build a training model with training data for decision-making. The ANN comprises an encoder and a decoder. The encoder uses a gated recurrent unit, which is a recurrent neural network, for dimensionality reduction of the input data. The decoder uses a multilayer perceptron (MLP) for diagnosis decision-making. To create data, we use a wind turbine simulator that enables fully coupled nonlinear time-domain numerical simulations of offshore wind turbines considering six fault types including biases and fixed outputs in pitch sensors and excessive friction, slit lock, incorrect voltage, and short circuits in actuators. The input data are time-series data collected by two sensors and two control inputs under the condition that of one fault of the six types occurs. A gated recurrent unit (GRU) that is one of the RNNs classifies the suggested faults of the blade pitch system. The performance of fault classification based on the gate recurrent unit is evaluated by a test procedure, and the results indicate that the proposed scheme works effectively. The proposed ANN shows a 1.4% improvement in its performance compared to an MLP-based approach.

In this paper, we propose an effective method of applying multichannel-audio feature values to GRNNs (Gated Recurrent Neural Networks) in polyphonic sound event detection. Real life sounds are often overlapped with each other, so that it is difficult to distinguish them by using a mono-channel audio features. In the proposed method, we tried to improve the performance of polyphonic sound event detection by using multi-channel audio features. In addition, we also tried to improve the performance of polyphonic sound event detection by applying a gated recurrent neural network which is simpler than LSTM (Long Short Term Memory), which shows the highest performance among the current recurrent neural networks. The experimental results show that the proposed method achieves better sound event detection performance than other existing methods.

With the development of deep learning, studies using artificial neural networks based on deep learning in recommendation systems are being actively conducted. Especially, the recommendation system based on RNN (Recurrent Neural Network) shows good performance because it considers the sequential characteristics of data. This study proposes a travel route recommendation system using GRU(Gated Recurrent Unit) and Session-based Parallel Mini-batch which are RNN-based algorithm. This study improved the recommendation performance through an ensemble of top1 and bpr(Bayesian personalized ranking) error functions. In addition, it was confirmed that the RNN-based recommendation system considering the sequential characteristics in the data makes a recommendation reflecting the meaning of the travel destination inherent in the travel route.

We propose recurrent neural network (RNN) methods for forecasting realized volatility (RV). The data are RVs of ten major stock price indices, four from the US, and six from the EU. Forecasts are made for relative ratio of adjacent RVs instead of the RV itself in order to avoid the out-of-scale issue. Forecasts of RV ratios distribution are first constructed from which those of RVs are computed which are shown to be better than forecasts constructed directly from RV. The apparent asymmetry of RV ratio is addressed by the Piecewise Min-max (PM) normalization. The serial dependence of the ratio data renders us to consider two architectures, long short-term memory (LSTM) and gated recurrent unit (GRU). The hyperparameters of LSTM and GRU are tuned by the nested cross validation. The RNN forecast with the PM normalization and ratio transformation is shown to outperform other forecasts by other RNN models and by benchmarking models of the AR model, the support vector machine (SVM), the deep neural network (DNN), and the convolutional neural network (CNN).
