Fast-HBR: Fast hash based duplicate read remover.

The Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) platforms produce massive amounts of data to analyze various features in environmental samples. These data contain multiple duplicate reads which impact the analyzing process efficiency and accuracy. We describe Fast-HBR, a fast and memory-efficient duplicate reads removing tool without a reference genome using de-novo principles.

A Robust Deep Learning Approach for Position-Independent Smartphone-Based Human Activity Recognition.

Recently, modern smartphones equipped with a variety of embedded-sensors, such as accelerometers and gyroscopes, have been used as an alternative platform for human activity recognition (HAR), since they are cost-effective, unobtrusive and they facilitate real-time applications. However, the majority of the related works have proposed a position-dependent HAR, i.e.
