Abstract

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) remains one of the top causes of vision loss globally, and early detection and accurate progression prediction are critical in its management. This paper introduces DeepRetina, a deep learning framework that integrates state-of-the-art multimodal retinal imaging techniques with patient-specific clinical data for the improved diagnosis and prognosis of DR. DeepRetina harnesses cutting-edge convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and attention mechanisms to jointly analyze optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans and fundus photographs. The architecture further includes a temporal module that investigates the longitudinal changes in the retina. DeepRetina fuses these heterogeneous data sources with patient clinical information in pursuit of early detection of DR and provides personalized predictions for the progression of the disease. We use a specially designed CNN architecture to process high-resolution retinal images, coupled with a self-attention mechanism that focuses on the most relevant features. This recurrent neural network (RNN) module empowers it to integrate time-series data that captures the evolution of retinal abnormalities. Another neural network branch considering patientspecific clinical data, such as demographic information, medical history, and laboratory test results, was taken into account and concatenated with the imaging features for a holistic analysis. DeepRetina achieved 95% sensitivity, 98% specificity for early DR detection, and a 0.92 area under the curve (AUC) for 5-year progression prediction, outperforming existing methods.

Abstract

Estimation of solar radiation is a key task in optimizing the operation of power systems incorporating high levels of photovoltaic (PV) generation. This paper discusses the application of machine learning techniques, namely extreme gradient boosting (XGBT) and random forest (RF), to improve accuracy in the forecasting of solar radiation while adapting for different sites. Utilizing datasets such as meteorological and solar radiation data, the suggested models demonstrate the enhancement of forecasting accuracy by 39% from traditionally applied statistical practices. Along with this, this study also encompasses how endogenous and exogenous factors could be involved in better predictions of solar energy availability. From our findings, XGBT, as well as other machine learning techniques, do enjoy superior performance levels when it comes to the forecasting of solar radiation, which in turn promotes efficient management and potential adaptation of solar energy systems. This study demonstrates how this last generation of algorithms could be applied to noticeably improve the efficiency of solar power forecasting and thereby contribute to more sustainable and reliable energy systems as a byproduct of that.

Abstract

In today’s environment, students often struggle with time management and dealing with emotions like frustration and anxiety, which may have an adverse impact on their academic achievement. This research aims to enhance time management and educational support for college students by leveraging demographic characteristics and performance in specific assignments to develop a predictive model for academic performance. The study evaluates various regression algorithms to identify the most accurate method for predicting students’ semester grade point average (SGPA) based on their activities. This predictive model aims to optimize students’ learning experiences and mitigate challenges such as frustration and anxiety. The findings highlight the potential of personalized educational assistance in improving student learning outcomes. Various machine learning algorithms, including decision trees, support vector regression (SVR), ridge regression, lasso regression, XGBoost, and gradient boosting, were implemented in Python for this study. Results show that XGBoost achieved the lowest root mean square error (RMSE) of 9.39 with a 60:40 data split ratio, outperforming other algorithms, while decision trees exhibited the highest RMSE. The findings emphasize the potential of personalized educational assistance to improve learning outcomes by helping students adjust study habits to address weaknesses and reduce anxiety. Future studies can explore integrating real-time data and additional features such as emotional wellbeing and extracurricular activities to further improve the model’s predictive capabilities.

Abstract

Recently, distilling knowledge from convolutional neural networks (CNN) has positively impacted the data-efficient image transformer (DeiT) model. Due to the distillation token, this method is capable of boosting DeiT performance and helping DeiT to learn faster. Unfortunately, a distillation procedure with that token has not yet been implemented in the DeiT for transfer learning to the downstream dataset. This study proposes implementing a distillation procedure based on a distillation token for transfer learning. It boosts DeiT performance on downstream datasets. For example, our proposed method improves the DeiT B 16 model performance by 1.75% on the OxfordIIIT-Pets dataset. Furthermore, we present using a weaker model as a teacher of the DeiT. It could reduce the transfer learning process of the teacher model without reducing the DeiT performance too much. For example, DeiT B 16 model performance decreased by only 0.42% on Oxford 102 Flowers with EfficientNet V2S compared to RegNet Y 16GF. In contrast, in several cases, the DeiT B 16 model performance could improve with a weaker teacher model. For example, DeiT B 16 model performance improved by 1.06% on the OxfordIIIT-Pets dataset with EfficientNet V2S compared to RegNet Y 16GF as a teacher model.

Abstract

Tuberculosis is one of the biggest threats that has been remaining a contagious disease since its discovery, posing a significant risk to millions of lives. Many people yield to TB because of incomplete treatments or the lack of preventive measures. An effective pulmonary TB diagnostic system has remained a big challenge. As it is a contagious disease, it mainly affects the lungs and other vital organs of the human body. We find DL as a subset of ML that runs an incurable disease diagnostic system with multi-neural architectures. In recent ages, a neural model can detect more accurately and quickly resulting in classified labels as normal and positive TB cases.    It helps medical practitioners to identify bacterial infections in the early stage. It has also enabled proper diagnosis and treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis. Through this paper, an enhanced detection model to classify TB and non-TB cases using clinical X-ray images has been proposed. The augmented histogram equalized X-rays were applied to top state-of-the-art classifiers. The evaluation matrics have been compared with and without histogram equalization and a comparative study is done to find the best CNN classifiers. The Resnet 50 and ResNet169 have shown the higest accuracy on preprocessed chest X-rays with 99.6% and 99.48% respectively.

Abstract

Many tools exist for performing parts of speech (PoS) data tagging in Hindi and Marathi. Still, no standard benchmark or performance evaluation data exists for these tools to help researchers choose the best according to their needs. This paper presents a performance comparison of different PoS taggers and widely available trained models for these two languages. We used different granularity data sets to compare the performance and precision of these tools with the Stanford PoS tagger. Since the tag sets used by these PoS taggers differ, we propose a mapping between different PoS tagsets to address this inherent challenge in tagger comparison. We tested our proposed PoS tag mappings on newly created Hindi and Marathi movie scripts and subtitle datasets since movie scripts are different in how they are formatted and structured. We shall be surveying and comparing five parts of speech taggers viz. IMLT Hindi rules-based PoS tagger, LTRC IIIT Hindi PoS tagger, CDAC Hindi PoS tagger, LTRC Marathi PoS tagger, CDAC Marathi PoS tagger. It would also help us evaluate how the Bureau of Indian Standards’s (BIS) tag set of Indian languages compares to the Universal Dependency (UD) PoS tag set, as no studies have been conducted before to evaluate this aspect.

Abstract

The adoption of the internet of things (IoT) in smart farming has enabled real-time data collection and analysis, leading to significant improvements in productivity and quality. However, incorporating diverse sensors across large-scale IoT systems creates notable security challenges, particularly in dynamic environments like Fog-to-Things architectures. Threat actors may exploit these weaknesses to disrupt communication systems and undermine their integrity. Tackling these issues necessitates an intrusion detection system (IDS) that achieves a balance between accuracy, resource optimization, compatibility, and affordability. This study introduces an innovative deep learning-driven IDS tailored for fog-assisted smart farming environments. The proposed system utilizes a class-aware autoencoder for detecting anomalies and performing initial binary classification, with a SoftMax layer subsequently employed for multi-class attack categorization. The model effectively identifies various threats, such as distributed denial of service (DDoS), ransomware, and password attacks, while enhancing security performance in environments with limited resources. By utilizing the Fog-to-Things architecture, the proposed IDS guarantees reliable and low-latency performance under extreme environmental conditions. Experimental results on the TON_IoT dataset reveal excellent performance, surpassing 98% accuracy in both binary and multi-class classification tasks. The proposed model outperforms conventional models (convolutional neural network (CNN), recurrent neural network (RNN), deep neural network (DNN), and gated recurrent unit (GRU)), highlighting its superior accuracy and effectiveness in securing smart farming networks.

Abstract

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are susceptible to a variety of attacks, such as data tampering attacks, blackhole attacks, and grayhole attacks, that can affect the reliability of communication. We proposed a reputationenhanced two-way hybrid algorithm (RCHA) that uses cryptographic hash functions and reputation-based trust management to detect and de-escalate attacks accurately. The RCHA algorithm implements two hash functions RACE integrity primitives’ evaluation message digest (RIPEMD) and secure hash algorithm (SHA-3), to initiate the integrity check for the entire packet sent across the network. Every node in the WSN tracks a reputation score for each neighbor the node is connected to, and this score is dynamically updated based on the behavior of each neighbor. If a neighboring node’s reputation drops below a threshold, the node is sent a maliciousness designation. At that time, the node will broadcast an alert message to its neighboring nodes and begin to reroute its data through one of its trusted neighbors to ensure the reliability of the communication. The simulation results reported that the RCHA algorithm improved the accuracy of the attack detection rate and the number of packets delivered compared to traditional attack detection methods. The RCHA algorithm was able to maintain low computational and energy overhead for the WSN, making it an attractive option for a resource-constrained application in a WSN. Given the trends towards more collaborative networks, the reputation mechanism in the RCHA algorithm improves the overall reliability and capabilities of the WSN, regardless of adversaries.
