Identification of multiple power quality disturbances in hybrid microgrid using deep stacked auto-encoder based bi-directional LSTM classifier by Ravi Kumar Jalli, Lipsa Priyadarshini, P.K. Dash, Ranjeeta Bisoi

“…Thus to design an effective PQD recognition system, this paper proposes a novel time-frequency analysis method based on adaptively fast complementary ensemble local mean decomposition (AFCELMD) technique that decomposes the multicomponent PQD signal into a series of demodulated product functions (PFs). Out of the several PFs the most sensitive one is selected adaptively and used for feature extraction and classification through a deep stacked auto-encoder (dSAE) hybridized with a time-recursive bi-directional long short term memory (BiLSTM) network classifier. …”

Vocal constraints on song amplitude in star finches Bathilda ruficauda by Hana Goto, Masayo Soma, Ayumi Mizuno, Henrik Brumm

“…This suggests that the frequency-amplitude correlation is a more general phenomenon in bird vocalisations, independent of the overall source amplitude of a species. While the evolution of birdsong is often viewed as constrained by neural costs and body size, or selective pressures from predators and social aggression, our results emphasise the importance of understanding phonetic features as well. …”
