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

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.
