PD-Net: Parkinson’s Disease Detection Through Fusion of Two Spectral Features Using Attention-Based Hybrid Deep Neural Network by Munira Islam, Khadija Akter, Md. Azad Hossain, M. Ali Akber Dewan

“…Certainly, CNNs are employed to extract spatial features from the extracted spectro-temporal characteristics of vocal data, while LSTMs capture temporal dependencies, accelerating a comprehensive analysis of the development of vocal patterns over time. Additionally, the merging of a multi-head attention mechanism significantly enhances the model’s ability to concentrate on essential details, hence improving its overall performance. …”

On Novel RIP of Windowed Compressed Spectrum Sensing by Huiguang Zhang, Baoguo Liu, Wei Feng

“…We extend conventional block-sparsity concepts by explicitly incorporating WF characteristics, providing the first mathematical framework that directly links window properties to resulting signal sparsity patterns. By leveraging subspace counting theory, we establish sampling bounds for windowed CSS under various conditions, including block-sparse signal structures, ultra-sparse frequency distributions, and noisy environments. …”
