DDAE is a well-known deep learning structure that learns the relationship between the noisy signal and the respective clean noise-free one. The most commonly used representative for the input signal used to train the DDAE might be the spectrogram, which is the ordered series of the short-time Fourier transform (STFT) of each frame for the input signal. In this paper, we attempt to reduce the acoustic-frequency resolution of the STFT to see its effect of the learned DDAE in terms of the quality and intelligibility of the output signals. The preliminary experimental results indicate that halving the input frequency points (i.e., reducing the frequency resolution by a factor of 2) provides the learned DDAE with almost the same speech quality and intelligibility, while it helps to down-scale the input feature as well as reduce the computation complexity of the DDAE.","PeriodicalId":141850,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Consumer Electronics-Taiwan (ICCE-TW)","volume":"9 5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121034404","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}

Based on this, this study proposes a fake news checking platform named \"One For All\" comprising smart contracts combined with game crowdsourcing. We added the core drives of Octalysis in gamification during platform design and executed the platform rules using smart contracts to ensure transparency and fairness of the platform.

The output speed is controlled by its congestion control algorithm that is running in its kernel space. One of the promising methods for improving congestion control is congestion control via deep learning. However, most of all the deep learning systems run in the userspace, and the congestion control algorithm runs in the kernel space. For achieving this, managing the congestion control behavior in the kernel space from userspace is necessary. In this paper, we propose a system in which a userspace process can set the congestion window size in the kernel space of the Linux kernel by focusing on the Android operating system. We then present system evaluations and show that the proposed system can suitably manage the congestion control behavior in the operating system. The proposed system monitors the congestion window size in the kernel space and transmits it to the userspace via /proc filesystem. Similarly, this transmits a value specified by a userspace process to the kernel space and applies the value to the congestion window size.","PeriodicalId":141850,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Consumer Electronics-Taiwan (ICCE-TW)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126181850","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}

The accurate prediction of sales enables businesses to reduce stockpiles and scrap costs. However, it has been heavily debated whether artificial neural networks (ANNs) or recurrent neural networks (RNNs) are the most appropriate for sales forecasting. A number of factors influence sales, and it is difficult to determine whether daily business conditions are independent of each other. To fill this gap in the literature, we first employed conventional data analysis to identify suitable input fields for ANN and RNN. We then input these fields into both types of neural network. To verify the validity of our discussion, we conducted an analysis using a real-world sales dataset from a service station on a freeway in Taiwan.","PeriodicalId":141850,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Consumer Electronics-Taiwan (ICCE-TW)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125537962","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}
