Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) have achieved high success in many textual, auditory, medical imaging, and visual recognition patterns. Concerning the importance of ML/DL in recognizing patterns due to its high accuracy, many researchers argued for many solutions for improving pattern recognition performance using ML/DL methods. Due to the importance of the required intelligent pattern recognition of machines needed in image processing and the outstanding role of big data in generating state-of-the-art modern and classical approaches to pattern recognition, we conducted a thorough Systematic Literature Review (SLR) about DL approaches for big data pattern recognition. Therefore, we have discussed different research issues and possible paths in which the abovementioned techniques might help materialize the pattern recognition notion. Similarly, we have classified 60 of the most cutting-edge articles put forward pattern recognition issues into ten categories based on the DL/ML method used: Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), Recurrent Neural Network (RNN), Generative Adversarial Network (GAN), Autoencoder (AE), Ensemble Learning (EL), Reinforcement Learning (RL), Random Forest (RF), Multilayer Perception (MLP), Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM), and hybrid methods. SLR method has been used to investigate each one in terms of influential properties such as the main idea, advantages, disadvantages, strategies, simulation environment, datasets, and security issues. The results indicate most of the articles were published in 2021. Moreover, some important parameters such as accuracy, adaptability, fault tolerance, security, scalability, and flexibility were involved in these investigations.

Enhancing Solar Convection Analysis With Multi-Core Processors and Gpus
(Wiley, 2024) Jafari Navimipour, Nima; Amiri, Zahra; Jamali, Mohammad Ali Jabraeil; Navimipour, Nima Jafari
In the realm of astrophysical numerical calculations, the demand for enhanced computing power is imperative. The time-consuming nature of calculations, particularly in the domain of solar convection, poses a significant challenge for Astrophysicists seeking to analyze new data efficiently. Because they let different kinds of data be worked on separately, parallel algorithms are a good way to speed up this kind of work. A lot of this study is about how to use both multi-core computers and GPUs to do math work about solar energy at the same time. Cutting down on the time it takes to work with data is the main goal. This way, new data can be looked at more quickly and without having to practice for a long time. It works well when you do things in parallel, especially when you use GPUs for 3D tasks, which speeds up the work a lot. This is proof of how important it is to adjust the parallelization methods based on the size of the numbers. But for 2D math, computers with more than one core work better. The results not only fix bugs in models of solar convection, but they also show that speed changes a little based on the gear and how it is processed.

With the swift pace of the development of artificial intelligence (AI) in diverse spheres, the medical and healthcare fields are utilizing machine learning (ML) methodologies in numerous inventive ways. ML techniques have outstripped formerly state-of-the-art techniques in medical and healthcare practices, yielding faster and more precise outcomes. Healthcare practitioners are increasingly drawn to this technology in their initiatives relating to the Internet of Behavior (IoB). This area of research scrutinizes the rationales, approaches, and timing of human technology adoption, encompassing the domains of the Internet of Things (IoT), behavioral science, and edge analytics. The significance of ML in medical and healthcare applications based on the IoB stems from its ability to analyze and interpret copious amounts of complex data instantly, providing innovative perspectives that can enhance healthcare outcomes and boost the efficiency of IoB-based medical and healthcare procedures and thus aid in diagnoses, treatment protocols, and clinical decision making. As a result of the inadequacy of thorough inquiry into the employment of ML-based approaches in the context of using IoB for healthcare applications, we conducted a study on this subject matter, introducing a novel taxonomy that underscores the need to employ each ML method distinctively. With this objective in mind, we have classified the cutting-edge ML solutions for IoB-based healthcare challenges into five categories, which are convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), deep neural networks (DNNs), multilayer perceptions (MLPs), and hybrid methods. In order to delve deeper, we conducted a systematic literature review (SLR) that examined critical factors, such as the primary concept, benefits, drawbacks, simulation environment, and datasets. Subsequently, we highlighted pioneering studies on ML methodologies for IoB-based medical issues. Moreover, several challenges related to the implementation of ML in healthcare and medicine have been tackled, thereby gradually fostering further research endeavors that can enhance IoB-based health and medical studies. Our findings indicated that Tensorflow was the most commonly utilized simulation setting, accounting for 24% of the proposed methodologies by researchers. Additionally, accuracy was deemed to be the most crucial parameter in the majority of the examined papers.

(Springer, 2023) Amiri, Zahra; Jafari Navimipour, Nima; Heidari, Arash; Navimipour, Nima Jafari; Unal, Mehmet
With the galloping progress of the Internet of Things (IoT) and related technologies in multiple facets of science, distribution environments, namely cloud, edge, fog, Internet of Drones (IoD), and Internet of Vehicles (IoV), carry special attention due to their providing a resilient infrastructure in which users can be sure of a secure connection among smart devices in the network. By considering particular parameters which overshadow the resiliency in distributed environments, we found several gaps in the investigated review papers that did not comprehensively touch on significantly related topics as we did. So, based on the resilient and dependable management approaches, we put forward a beneficial evaluation in this regard. As a novel taxonomy of distributed environments, we presented a well-organized classification of distributed systems. At the terminal stage, we selected 37 papers in the research process. We classified our categories into seven divisions and separately investigated each one their main ideas, advantages, challenges, and strategies, checking whether they involved security issues or not, simulation environments, datasets, and their environments to draw a cohesive taxonomy of reliable methods in terms of qualitative in distributed computing environments. This well-performed comparison enables us to evaluate all papers comprehensively and analyze their advantages and drawbacks. The SLR review indicated that security, latency, and fault tolerance are the most frequent parameters utilized in studied papers that show they play pivotal roles in the resiliency management of distributed environments. Most of the articles reviewed were published in 2020 and 2021. Besides, we proposed several future works based on existing deficiencies that can be considered for further studies.
