Abstract

Class attendance is a crucial indicator of students' seriousness towards learning. Many institutions continue to use manual methods, which are usually error-prone and unproductive. By leveraging computer vision algorithms, the system accurately captures and verifies the identity of students attending class. This paper aims to investigate and create an automated facial recognition system for classroom attendance to increase the precision and effectiveness of the attendance tracking system. To achieve this, we propose a system using computer vision technologies, namely Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) with Support Vector Machine (SVM) for face detection and deep Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) for face identification. The facial recognition system simplifies attendance recording, requiring participants to only gaze into the camera for the system to record their presence automatically. The system is rigorously tested and evaluated, and its accuracy is compared to our institution's current QR code attendance method. The study results reveal that the recommended approach is more accurate and competent than the existing procedures. The system allows for precise attendance records with real-time face detection and recognition capabilities. This technology ensures accurate and reliable attendance data, empowering organizations to make informed decisions, effectively manage resources, and provide a seamless experience for all students. In addition, a similar attendance system can be deployed for any event in an organization, thereby enhancing overall operational efficiency.

Abstract

Autism is a large set of illnesses related to brain development, also referred to as autism spectrum disorder (ASD). According to WHO reports, 1 in 100 children is expected to have ASD. Numerous behavioral domains are affected, including linguistic, interpersonal skills, stereotypical and repetitive behaviors which represent an extreme instance of a neurodevelopmental abnormality. Identifying ASD can be difficult and exhausting because its symptoms are remarkably identical to those of many other disorders of the mind. Medical professionals can improve diagnosis efficiency by adapting deep learning practices. In clinics for autism spectrum disorders, eye-tracking scan pathways (ETSP) have become a more common instrument. This approach uses quantitative eye movement analysis to study attentional processes, and it exhibits promising results in the development of indicators that can be used in clinical studies for autism.   ASD can be identified by comparing the abnormal attention span patterns of children’s having the disorder to the children’s who are typically developing. The recommended model makes use of two publicly viable datasets, namely ABIDE and ETSP imaging. The proposed deep convolutional network consists of four hidden convolution layers and uses 5-fold cross-validation strategy. The performance of the proposed model is validated against multilayer perceptron (MLP) and conventional machine learning classifiers like decision tree (DT), k-nearest neighbor (KNN) and Random Forest (RF) using metrics like sensitivity, specificity and area under curve (AUC). The findings demonstrated that without the need for human assistance, the suggested model is capable of correctly identifying children with ASD.

Abstract

Context-aware recommendation systems have emerged as essential to interactive web content and online job search. Primarily, since so many job offers are published on different online platforms, it can make the users take some time to find good opportunities that match exactly what they are looking for, as well as countless qualified candidates and other characteristics within that context, such as temporality. This comes as no surprise, as many practitioners and researchers have resorted to machine learning to create context-aware job recommendation systems that cater not only to job seekers. In this comparative paper, we have analyzed various machine-learning models for job recommendation systems. Four fundamental pillars are considered: accuracy, scalability, interpretability, and computational efficiency. This paper also studies the extent to which these models are contextual (e.g., how well they can model factors due to user preferences, job requirements, location, industry evolution, and temporality.) and can be used as a recommendation system. This study uses real-world employment data from actual employment statistics (through fixed-period analysis), professional networking platforms, and online job market platforms. The study does so purposefully to be comprehensive because it believes the lessons from remote work are generalizable. Still, the data is from a wide variety of job sectors, job positions, and locations. The group created a test environment for constructing and testing machine learning algorithms. Collaborative filtering, content-based, matrix factorization, deep learning, and many other hybrid approaches have obtained better results. This study was performed on Python with sci-kit-learn, pandas, and NumPy. The proposed system is a context-aware job recommender system that employs many machine learning algorithms to personalize job recommendations concerning user preferences and contextual information such as job location, industry status, and temporal dynamics. The findings underscore the importance of choosing machine learning models that are well-suited for job recommendation systems on a case-by-case basis. This comparative study intends to add to the art by providing algorithmic proof and practical advice to properly leverage machine learning models proposed in a naturalistic, messy setting of context-aware job recommendation systems.

Abstract

With the improvement of technology and the continuous expansion and deepening of neural network technology, its application in computer network security plays an important role. However, the development of neural networks is accompanied by new threats and challenges. This paper proposes to encrypt the weight data using encryption algorithms and embed image encryption algorithms to improve protected data security further. The purpose is to address the feasibility and effectiveness of using modern encryption algorithms for data encryption in machine learning in response to data privacy breaches. The approach consists of training a neural network to simulate a model of machine learning and then encrypting it using Data Encryption Standard (DES), Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), and Homomorphic Encryption (HE) techniques, respectively. Its performance is evaluated based on the encryption/decryption accuracy and computational efficiency. The results indicate that combining DES with Blowfish offers moderate encryption and decryption speeds but is less secure than AES and HE. AES provides a practical solution, balancing security and performance, offering a relatively swift encryption and decryption process while maintaining high security. However, Fernet and HE present a viable alternative if data privacy is a top priority. Encryption and decryption times increase with file size and require sufficient computational resources. Future research should explore image encryption techniques to balance security and accurate image retrieval during decryption. Advanced privacy-preserving approaches, such as differential privacy and secure multi-party computation, may enhance security and confidentiality in digital encryption and decryption processes.
