However, researchers have not explored the use of DL to wireless communication to its full potential. The use of DL technology for wireless communication applications has recently gained popularity. This paper looks into the application of deep learning based approach for automatic modulation classification (AMC). Automatic modulation classification has a diverse applications ranging from civilian to military. A deep learning based convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture for AMC is proposed in this paper. We make use of Gaussian noise layer after convolution layers in our proposed architecture which has a regularization effect while training and it reduces over fitting problem. We demonstrate using experiments that the proposed architecture outperforms the existing CNN based architectures for AMC. We also demonstrate the effects of different architecture parameters on the performance of the proposed algorithm.","PeriodicalId":106004,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 18th India Council International Conference (INDICON)","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124035647","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, we have developed a machine learning model using a long short-term memory neural network for multivariate time series load forecasting using Python. The response of the load forecasting model with the different network configuration parameters is also analyzed in order to improve the accuracy of the model. Real-time electrical load data of the 11 kV feeder from one of the substations of the Goa state electricity board is used for training and developing the short-term forecasting model. The result yields model capable of accurate electrical load forecasting. Energy forecasting of SPV system of 100 kWp capacity is also done for a similar period by using PV* SOL software. The data of the scheduled power reserved for the 11 kV feeder feeding an industrial area is analyzed. From the forecasted load, SPV energy prediction, and the scheduled power data the demand response potential is estimated. This work will help the state power utility to plan and coordinate demand response programs along with scheduling renewable energy resources for maintaining the reliability and security of the power system network.","PeriodicalId":106004,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 18th India Council International Conference (INDICON)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125930408","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These cross-sections are obtained by varying one or the other key parameters viz. Fin top width (Wtop), Fin height (HFin), inclination angle ($theta$), and radius of curvature (R). The impact on electrical performances of these parameters as dictated by the processing technology has been analyzed. It is observed that at channel length, $L_{G}=20nm$ the trapezoidal GAA (TzGAA) FET offers 30% reduction in DIBL, 6.4% less degradation in SS, 57% reduction in threshold voltage roll-off, and 22% higher gate capacitance compared to the rectangular counterpart if their bottom widths are equal. Despite ReGAA FET has slightly higher Cgg compared to EpGAA, the later shows enhanced immunity to short-channel effects. The electron density of TzGAA FET has been observed to decrease with an increase in $theta, H_{Fin}, W_{top}$, and R. Besides, we calculated the analoyRF parameter dependence on $theta$ of TzGAA FET. We believe our findings could represent guidelines for the design of high-performance GAA FETs.","PeriodicalId":106004,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 18th India Council International Conference (INDICON)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126157691","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Millions of tweets were posted daily during COVID-19 pandemic days and the rate increases gradually. Tweets include a wide range of information including healthcare information, recent cases, and vaccination updates. This information helps individuals stay informed about the situation and assists safety personnel in making decisions. Apart from these, large amounts of propaganda and misinformation have spread on Twitter during this period. The impact of this infodemic is multifarious. Therefore, it is considered a formidable task to determine whether a tweet related to COVID-19 is informative or uninformative. However, the noisy and nonformal nature of tweets makes it difficult to determine the tweets’ informativeness. In this paper, we propose an approach that exploits the benefits of finetuned transformer models for informative tweet identification. Upon extracting features from pre-trained COVID-Twitter-BERT and RoBERTa models, we leverage the stacked embedding technique to combine them. The features are then fed to a BiLSTM module to learn the contextual dimension effectively. Finally, a simple feed-forward linear architecture is employed to obtain the predicted label. Experimental result on WNUT-2020 benchmark informative tweet detection dataset demonstrates the potency of our method over various state-of-the-art approaches.","PeriodicalId":106004,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 18th India Council International Conference (INDICON)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130004745","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
