The manual design of such neural architectures is an error-prone and time-consuming process. The search for optimal CNN architectures is considered a revolution in the design of neural networks.

For example, in a smart home scenario where occupants' health status is continuously monitored remotely, it is essential to provide the required assistance when an unusual or critical situation is detected in their vital sign data. In this paper, we present an efficient approach for mining the periodic patterns obtained from BSN data.
