Abstract

Face recognition has emerged as the most common biometric technique for checking a person's authenticity in various applications. The depth characteristic that exists in 2.5D data, also known as depth image, is utilized by the 2.5D facial recognition algorithm to supply additional details, strengthening the system's precision and durability. A deep learning approach-based 2.5D facial recognition system is proposed in this research. The accuracy of 2.5D face recognition could be enhanced by integrating depth data with deep learning approaches. Besides, optimizers in the deep learning approach act as a function for adjusting the properties, like learning rates and weights in the neural network, which can minimize the overall loss of the system and further enhance performance. In this paper, several experiments have been conducted in two versions of EfficientNet architectures, such as EfficientNetB1 and EfficientNetB4, using different optimizers, including Adam, Nadam, Adamax, RMSProp, etc. Various optimizers are compared to find the most suitable optimizer for the system. The Face Recognition Grand Challenge version 2 (FRGC v2.0) database was utilized in this research. This research aims to increase the 2.5D face recognition system’s effectiveness and efficiency by implementing deep learning approaches. Based on the experimental result, a deep learning algorithm enhances the system's accuracy rate. It also proves that the EffifientNetB4, using Adam optimizer, gained the highest accuracy rate at 97.93%.

Abstract

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is a hybrid method that combines information retrieval with large language models to generate context-aware, factually grounded responses. However, the RAG system relies heavily on well-structured input data to generate accurate and contextually relevant responses. Documents with complex table layouts pose significant challenges, as most chunking strategies are text-centric and often overlook table-rich documents containing multi-column and multi-row structures. Hence, this study proposes a customized structure-aware chunking framework specifically designed for university course documents containing multi-column, multi-row tables with nested headers. The framework employs Camelot for high-fidelity table extraction, followed by customized logic that constructs semantically coherent chunks by preserving academic term, subject name, credit hour, and category. This prevents semantic fragmentation during retrieval. The proposed method is evaluated using the RAGAS framework and compared against several baselines using standard parsing and chunking techniques. Results show that the proposed approach achieves the highest answer accuracy of 0.73 and substantially improves retrieval relevance and contextual precision. These findings demonstrate the framework’s effectiveness in handling structure-dependent academic queries. This study highlights that ensuring both parsing quality and chunking strategy is essential to retain semantic relationships in table-rich documents, offering a practical improvement for RAG systems in structurally complex scenarios.
