With growing environmental concerns and the exploitation of ubiquitous big data, smart transportation is transforming logistics business and operations into a more sustainable approach. To answer questions in intelligent transportation planning, such as which data are feasible, which methods are applicable for intelligent prediction of such data, and what are the available operations for prediction, this paper offers a new deep learning approach called bi-directional isometric-gated recurrent unit (BDIGRU). It is merged to the deep learning framework of neural networks for predictive analysis of travel time and business adoption for route planning.

Article Synopsis
  • Deep machine learning can significantly streamline the process of calculating radiographic bone loss (RBL), making it easier to diagnose and plan treatment for periodontitis.
  • In a study involving 236 patients, a multitasking InceptionV3 model achieved an accuracy of 87% in classifying RBL, with solid performance metrics such as sensitivity and specificity around 86-88%.
  • The study concludes that while the results are promising, increasing the amount of clinical data will improve the model's performance and enhance its clinical utility.

Dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) is a well-known method for saving energy consumption. Several DVFS studies have applied learning-based methods to implement the DVFS prediction model instead of complicated mathematical models. This paper proposes a lightweight learning-directed DVFS method that involves using counter propagation networks to sense and classify the task behavior and predict the best voltage/frequency setting for the system.
