A wide range of respiratory diseases, such as cold and flu, asthma, and COVID-19, affect people’s daily lives worldwide. In medical practice, respiratory sounds are widely used in medical services to diagnose various respiratory illnesses and lung disorders. The traditional diagnosis of such sounds requires specialized knowledge, which can be costly and reliant on human expertise. Recently, cough audio recordings have been used to automate the process of detecting respiratory conditions. This research aims to examine various acoustic features that enhance the performance of machine learning (ML) models in detecting COVID-19 from cough signals. This study investigates the efficacy of three feature extraction techniques, including Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC), Chroma, and Spectral Contrast features, on two ML algorithms, Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), and thus proposes an efficient COVID-19 detection system. The proposed system produces a practical solution and demonstrates higher state-of-the-art classification performance with an AUC of 0.843 on the COUGHVID dataset and 0.953 on the Virufy dataset for COVID-19 detection.

Nowadays, one of the most serious issues is secure verification, especially with the advent of artificial intelligence and machine learning and deep learning algorithms. As a result, the research field of recognizing human biometrics has grown significantly, and various types of algorithms have been proposed to help with security. From the available literature, we noticed that researchers were focusing on various systematic surveys for the recognition of human biometrics, including faces, eyes, finger prints, palms, and etc. Despite the popularity of machine and deep learning methods in the field of human hearing prediction, surveys of such methods are rare. In this work, we present an up-to-date survey of the ear recognition field by using 2D images and display the most relevant papers from the most popular databases by applying different techniques based on several criteria. This review presents an overview of the similarities and differences between different works and provides a statistical analysis view of common techniques commonly used in ear recognition literature. The results presented in this report provide insight on the patterns of this field's research.

Digital twins (DTs) are virtual implementations of real physical systems (PSs) that interact with other objects on their behalf. Each PS periodically communicates with its digital twin so that the state of the DT is always sufficiently current. Using these updates, a DT can provide features that represent the real behavior of its PS using models that yield differing levels of system accuracy. In this paper, we study the DT model selection problem in wireless networks where the DTs of multiple PSs are hosted at an edge server (ES). The accuracy obtained from a given model is a function of its required amount of PS input data, the updating frequency, and the amount of computational capacity needed at the ES. The objective is to maximize the minimum achieved accuracy among the requested features by making appropriate model selections subject to wireless channel and ES resource availability. The problem is first formulated as an NP-complete integer program. The paper then uses relaxation and dependent rounding, and introduces a polynomial time approximation algorithm to obtain good solutions. A variety of simulation results are presented that demonstrate the excellent performance of the proposed solution.

Low-earth-orbit satellite networks (LSNs) offer an enhanced global connectivity and a wide range of applications such as disaster response and military operations, among others. Each specific application can be represented by a service function chain (SFC) in which each function is considered as a task in the application. Our objective is to optimize the long-term system performance by minimizing the average end-to-end delay of SFC deployments in LSNs. To achieve this, we formulate a dynamic programming (DP) problem to derive an optimal placement policy. To overcome the computational intractability, the need for statistical knowledge of SFC requests, and centralized decision-making challenges, we present a multi-agent Q-learning approach where satellites act as independent agents. To facilitate performance convergence in non-stationary agents' environments, we let agents to collaborate by sharing designated learning parameters. In addition, agents update their Q-tables via two distinct rules depending on selected actions. Extensive experimentation shows that our approach achieves convergence and performance relatively close to the optimum obtained by solving the formulated DP equation.

Specific emotion detection in written human language is a challenging problem in various research fields, including psychology, neuroscience, and computer science. Twitter is a suitable source for collecting large emotion datasets, as users have provided tweets with emotion hashtags (e.g., #fear, #anger, #sadness, #joy, #surprise, and #disgust) expressing their emotions. However, the criteria for data collection, i.e., the position of representative or synonymous emotion hashtags, remains unclear. Next to this unclarity, we assess the suitability of various machine learning (ML) algorithms for this purpose. In this study, we collected over five million tweets (n=5,645,139) with 24 emotion hashtags and investigated the efficacy of different criteria for collecting tweets. Contrary to previous research, we found that applying any position of representative emotion hashtags can achieve strong performance, rather than applying the last position of synonymous emotion hashtags. Our study shows that the RoBERTa-large transformer model outperforms deep learning algorithms and traditional ML algorithms in terms of specific emotion detection in tweets, especially when trained on a dataset with a balance between size and quality. We also found that larger datasets are more efficient for RoBERTa model training than smaller datasets. Along with these empirical contributions, we share the collected emotion dataset.
