Abstract

The traditional education system for autistic kids needs integration with computer technology that embraces artificial intelligence to help school instructors and management. An application that enables the teacher to retrieve information from a trusted source is essential since the information is only sometimes available on time. Thus, developing a chatbot application that utilizes natural language processing can enhance the management of autistic schools and will help individualized education for autistic students. This research uses a deep learning model that utilizes a convolutional neural network to develop a chatbot as a teaching assist tool for teachers. The results show that the chatbot has achieved ˜0.03% loss when trained with different epoch numbers. In terms of usability, the chatbot achieves mean system usability scores of 80.48 ± 13.03. This may open opportunities for more effective individualized education for students with special needs and increase the potential to improve inclusive education for disabled students. It is useful to include future actions that enable the simplification of the use of this chatbot tool in a wide range of contexts. To close the education gap for children with disabilities, chatbots could help people with communication disabilities and could also significantly enhance the rate of communication.

Abstract

Class imbalance remains a formidable challenge in machine learning, particularly affecting fields that depend on accurate classification across skewed datasets, such as medical imaging and software defect prediction. Traditional approaches often fail to adequately address the underrepresentation of minority classes, leading to models that exhibit high performance on majority classes but have poor performance on critical minority classes. Self-supervised contrastive learning has become an extremely encouraging method for this issue, enabling the utilization of unlabeled data to generate robust and generalizable models. This paper reviews the advancements in self-supervised contrastive learning for imbalanced classification, focusing on methodologies that enhance model performance through innovative contrastive loss functions and data augmentation strategies. By pulling similar instances closer and pushing dissimilar ones apart, these techniques help mitigate the biases inherent in imbalanced datasets. We critically analyze the effectiveness of these methods in diverse scenarios and propose future research directions aimed at refining these approaches for broader application in real-world settings. This review serves as a guide for researchers exploring the potential of contrastive learning to address class imbalances, highlighting recent successes and identifying crucial gaps that need addressing.

Abstract

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a primary factor contributing to reduced activity and physical impairment in older individuals. Early identification and treatment of knee OA can assist patients in delaying the advancement of the condition. Currently, knee OA is detected early using X-ray images and assessed based on the Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) grading system. Doctors' assessments are subjective and can vary among different doctors. The automatic knee OA grading and diagnosis can assist doctors and help doctors reduce their workload. A new novel network called dual-vision transformer (ViT) OA is proposed to automatically diagnose knee OA. The network utilizes pre-processing technologies to process the data before doing classification operations using the Dual-ViT network. The suggested network outperformed neural networks like ResNet, DenseNet, visual geometry group (VGG), inception, and ViT in terms of accuracy and mean absolute error (MAE), and achieved an accuracy of 78.4 and MAE of 0.471, demonstrating its effectiveness.

Abstract

Optimizing hyperparameters is crucial for enhancing the performance of deep learning (DL) models. The process of configuring optimal hyperparameters, known as hyperparameter tuning, can be performed using various methods. Traditional approaches like grid search and random search have significant limitations. In contrast, Bayesian optimization (BO) utilizes a surrogate model and an acquisition function to intelligently navigate the hyperparameter space, aiming to provide deeper insights into performance disparities between naïve and advanced methods. This study evaluates BO's efficacy compared to baseline methods such as random search, manual search, and grid search across multiple DL architectures, including multi-layer perceptron (MLP), convolutional neural network (CNN), and LeNet, applied to the Modified National Institute of Standards and Technology (MNIST) and CIFAR-10 datasets. The findings indicate that BO, employing the tree-structured parzen estimator (TPE) search method and expected improvement (EI) acquisition function, surpasses alternative methods in intricate DL architectures such as LeNet and CNN. However, grid search shows superior performance in smaller DL architectures like MLP. This study also adopts a multi-objective (MO) perspective, balancing conflicting performance objectives such as accuracy, F1 score, and model size (parameter count). This MO assessment offers a comprehensive understanding of how these performance metrics interact and influence each other, leading to more informed hyperparameter tuning decisions.

Abstract

This study investigates the usefulness of the Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE) in conjunction with convolutional neural network (CNN) models, which include both single and ensemble classifiers. The objective of this research is to handle the difficulty of multi-class imbalanced image classification. The application of SMOTE in imbalanced picture datasets is still underexplored, even though CNNs have been shown to be successful in image classification and that ensemble learning approaches have improved their performance. To investigate whether or not SMOTE can increase classification accuracy and other performance measures when combined with CNN-based classifiers, our research makes use of a CIFAR-10 dataset that has been artificially step-imbalanced and has varying imbalanced ratios. We conducted experiments using five distinct models, namely AdaBoost, XGBoost, standalone CNN, CNN-AdaBoost, and CNN-XGBoost, on datasets that were either imbalanced or SMOTE-balanced. Metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) were included in the evaluation process. The findings indicate that SMOTE dramatically improves the accuracy of minority classes, and that the combination of ensemble classifiers with CNNs and oversampling techniques significantly improves overall classification performance, particularly in situations when there is a high-class imbalance. When it comes to enhancing imbalanced classification tasks, this study demonstrates the potential of merging oversampling techniques with CNN-based ensemble classifiers to minimize the impacts of class imbalance in picture datasets. This suggests a promising direction for future research in this area.
