In this paper, we propose a method for deep-learning-based real-time road traffic predictions using long-term evolution (LTE) access data. The proposed system generates a road traffic speed learning model based on road speed data and historical LTE data collected from a plurality of base stations located within a predetermined radius from the road. Real-time LTE data were the input for the generated learning model in order to predict the real-time speed of traffic. Since the system was developed using a time-series-based road traffic speed learning model based on LTE data from the past, it is possible for it to be used for a road where the environment has changed. Moreover, even on roads where the collection of traffic data is invalid, such as a radio shadow area, it is possible to directly enter real-time wireless communications data into the traffic speed learning model to predict the traffic speed on the road in real time, and in turn, raise the accuracy of real-time road traffic predictions.

As people communicate with each other, they use gestures and facial expressions as a means to convey and understand emotional state. Non-verbal means of communication are essential to understanding, based on external clues to a person’s emotional state. Recently, active studies have been conducted on the lifecare service of analyzing users’ facial expressions. Yet, rather than a service necessary for everyday life, the service is currently provided only for health care centers or certain medical institutions. It is necessary to conduct studies to prevent accidents that suddenly occur in everyday life and to cope with emergencies. Thus, we propose facial expression analysis using line-segment feature analysis-convolutional recurrent neural network (LFA-CRNN) feature extraction for health-risk assessments of drivers. The purpose of such an analysis is to manage and monitor patients with chronic diseases who are rapidly increasing in number. To prevent automobile accidents and to respond to emergency situations due to acute diseases, we propose a service that monitors a driver’s facial expressions to assess health risks and alert the driver to risk-related matters while driving. To identify health risks, deep learning technology is used to recognize expressions of pain and to determine if a person is in pain while driving. Since the amount of input-image data is large, analyzing facial expressions accurately is difficult for a process with limited resources while providing the service on a real-time basis. Accordingly, a line-segment feature analysis algorithm is proposed to reduce the amount of data, and the LFA-CRNN model was designed for this purpose. Through this model, the severity of a driver’s pain is classified into one of nine types. The LFA-CRNN model consists of one convolution layer that is reshaped and delivered into two bidirectional gated recurrent unit layers. Finally, biometric data are classified through softmax. In addition, to evaluate the performance of LFA-CRNN, the performance was compared through the CRNN and AlexNet Models based on the University of Northern British Columbia and McMaster University (UNBC-McMaster) database.

With the advancement of Artificial Intelligence technology, the development of various applied software and studies are actively conducted on detection, classification, and prediction through interdisciplinary convergence and integration. Among them, medical AI has been drawing huge interest and popularity in Computer-Aided Diagnosis, which collects human body signals to predict abnormal symptoms of health, and diagnoses diseases through medical images such as X-ray and CT. Since X-ray and CT in medicine use high-resolution images, they require high specification equipment and huge energy consumption due to high computation in learning and recognition, incurring huge costs to create an environment for operation. Thus, this paper proposes a chest X-ray outlier detection model using dimension reduction and edge detection to solve these issues. The proposed method scans an X-ray image using a window of a certain size, conducts difference imaging of adjacent segment-images, and extracts the edge information in a binary format through the AND operation. To convert the extracted edge, which is visual information, into a series of lines, it is computed in convolution with the detection filter that has a coefficient of 2 ⁿ and the lines are divided into 16 types. By counting the converted data, a one-dimensional 16-size array per one segment-image is produced, and this reduced data is used as an input to the RNN-based learning model. In addition, the study conducted various experiments based on the COVID-chest X-ray dataset to evaluate the performance of the proposed model. According to the experiment results, the LFA-RNN showed the highest accuracy at 97.5% in the learning calculated through learning, followed by CRNN 96.1%, VGG 96.6%, AlexNet 94.1%, Conv1D 79.4%, and DNN 78.9%. In addition, LFA-RNN showed the lowest loss at about 0.0357.

Breast cancer is known to be common in many developed countries. It is reported as the most common type of cancer in the US, affecting one in eight women. In Korea, thyroid cancer is the most common type of cancer, followed by breast cancer in women. Considering this, early detection and accurate diagnosis of breast cancer are crucial for reducing the associated death rate. Recently, cancer diagnosis systems using medical images have attracted significant attention. Medical imaging methods, such as computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, can reveal the overall shape, heterogeneity, and growth speed of carcinoma and are, thus, more commonly employed for diagnoses. Medical imaging has gained popularity since a recent study identified that it could reflect the gene phenotype of a patient. However, an aided diagnosis system based on medical images requires high-specification equipment to analyze high-resolution data. Therefore, this article proposes an edge extraction algorithm and a modified convolutional recurrent neural network (CRNN) model to accurately assess breast cancer based on medical imaging. The proposed algorithm extracts line-segment information from a breast mass image. The extracted line segments were classified into 16 types. Each type was uniquely labeled and compressed. The image compressed in this process was used as the input for the modified CRNN model. Traditional deep learning models were used to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm. The results show that the proposed model had the highest accuracy and lowest loss (99.75% and 0.0257, respectively).
