Abstract

The authentication of eligible voters is an area of concern that needs further exploration of the prospects of electronic voting systems. The integration of voice authentication in electronic voting systems for varying numbers of disabled and prospective voters should be secure, scalable and suitable in both federal and state elections. Machine learning (ML) is an evolving field of computing that presents prospects in electronic voting. Applying ML algorithms to electronic voting provides optimal solutions to a wide range of biometric authentication challenges. This paper presents the design of an effective voice classification algorithm from a narrower perspective that can be used in developing prototype electronic voting systems in large-scale voting scenarios, particularly for disabled voters. Applying the knowledge of deep neural networks, a three hidden layer network using a feed-forward architecture is designed for classifying voice data acquired from prospective voters. The proposed design is tested on two different datasets and is adapted to handle small and vast amounts of voters’ voice information. Results indicated average training and average validation accuracies of 92% and 97% respectively for both deep learning models for inclusivity and accountability of disabled voters in secure electronic voting systems.

Abstract

Accurate short-term load forecasting (STLF) is essential for optimizing energy management systems, ensuring operational efficiency, and balancing supply and demand in power grids. This study introduces a hybrid model, K-RNLSTM, which integrates K-means clustering with iterative Residual Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks to improve prediction accuracy. The K-means clustering algorithm categorizes similar load patterns, allowing the model to handle seasonal and hourly variations more effectively. Iterative ResBlocks are incorporated within the LSTM framework to capture complex non-linear dependencies and improve the learning process without suffering from degradation. The model was evaluated using real- world residential electricity consumption data across four seasons: winter, spring, summer, and autumn. The K-RNLSTM model consistently outperformed traditional methods such as Extreme Learning Machines (ELM), Seasonal-Trend Loess (STL), Gated Recurrent Units (GRU), and standard LSTM in terms of Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE). The results demonstrated that K-RNLSTM achieved an average RMSE of 0.71, MAE of 0.43, and MAPE of 1.31%, surpassing benchmark models across all seasonal variations. Furthermore, the integration of ResBlocks significantly improved the model's ability to minimize large forecasting errors, particularly during peak demand periods. This research demonstrates the effectiveness of combining clustering techniques with deep learning models for short-term load forecasting, offering a robust solution for power system operators to optimize energy distribution and reduce operational costs.

Abstract

Littering has become a significant problem that negatively impacts public health and environmental cleanliness. This research introduces an innovative solution using 3D Convolutional Neural Networks (3D CNN) technology to automatically detect littering behavior through real-time CCTV recordings. Two models were developed and tested. Model 1, which employs Conv3D, Batch Normalization, and Dropout, showed high training accuracy but exhibited fluctuations in validation accuracy, indicating potential overfitting. In contrast, Model 2, designed with a simpler structure without Batch Normalization and Dropout, achieved higher classification accuracy and efficiency. Both models significantly contribute to addressing littering in public areas, increasing awareness, and supporting environmental law enforcement. The integration of 3D CNN technology in detecting littering behavior demonstrates its potential to reduce pollution and promote environmentally responsible behavior.

Abstract

The automatic analysis of images for the early detection of cervical cancer relies on the segmentation of cervical precancerous lesions. This paper investigates the incorporation of various CNN-based backbones into a U-Net model for improved segmentation accuracy. A set of twelve backbones was tested, including VGG16, VGG19, ResNet50, ResNext50, EfficientNetB7, InceptionResNetv2, DenseNet201, InceptionV3, MobileNet V2, SE-ResNet50, SE-ResNext50, and SE-Net154. Evaluation metrics were computed using Intersection over Union, pixel accuracy, and Dice coefficient. The findings demonstrate that U-Net with EfficientNetB7 backbone outperforms all other models with an IoU of 73.13%, pixel accuracy of 89.92%, and a Dice coefficient of 77.64%. These results were visually confirmed; segmentation outputs were examined, showing accurate delineation of lesion borders. The dominating performance of EfficientNetB7 was observed to be due to high feature extraction efficiency coupled with powerful spatial information representation. The study is, however, limited by a lack of clinical validation and expert evaluation from trained medical personnel. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of combining the U-Net architecture with advanced CNN backbones towards designing automated systems to analyze medical images.

Abstract

The early and accurate diagnosis of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia lesions (CIN), particularly in a resource-limited environment, is paramount in helping to control the rising epidemic of cervical cancer. This research offers a hybrid classification model that merge texture features like Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) and Local Binary Pattern (LBP), alongside semantic features from MobileNetV2. These features, after being extracted, are merged and supplied to a Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) for multiclass classification into Normal, CIN1, CIN2, or CIN3. The model was trained and evaluated using a 5-fold stratified cross-validation technique on an IARC dataset that contains 200 cases of colposcopy images. The experimental results illustrate that the model developed with a stratified k-fold cross-validation performed consistently well with high performance, average accuracy reported as 86.75% ± 2.62% and Cohen's kappa 0.7963 ± 0.0524 showed substantial to almost perfect in agreement across folds. The best performance was recorded for Fold 4 achieving 90.31% accuracy, while maintaining robust F1-scores across all classes. This hybrid approach offers a promising direction for developing efficient and accurate computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems for cervical lesion classification.

Abstract

Arrhythmia is a disturbance in the electrical activity of the heart that can affect the rhythm and duration of the heartbeat. Early detection of arrhythmia is crucial to prevent more serious complications. Electrocardiogram (ECG) is an effective non-invasive diagnostic tool in detecting arrhythmia, but manual detection by experts takes time. To overcome this limitation, this research develops an arrhythmia classification system by utilizing deep learning. This study involves a series of stages, starting from pre-processing, feature extraction, and arrhythmia classification models using convolutional neural networks (CNN) and long short-term memory (LSTM). The results showed that feature extraction successfully improved model efficiency and accuracy. Evaluation of model performance using accuracy, recall, precision, specificity, and F1-score metrics showed that the LSTM model achieved 95% accuracy, 96% recall, 96% precision, 99% specificity, and 96% F1-score, outperforming the CNN model which achieved 91% accuracy, 90% recall, 89% precision, 98% specificity, and 89% F1-score. Thus, these results indicate that the LSTM model is superior in arrhythmia classification.

Abstract

This paper presents the improvement of a low-cost, single-phase pure sine wave inverter controlled by a deep reinforcement learning (DRL) agent. The study addresses the challenge of lacking performance of low-cost inverter, which is primarily due to the stability requirements of conventional control strategies. A DRL- based control approach is proposed to enhance voltage and frequency stability while reducing the need for extensive manual tuning. The system is validated through both simulation and experimental verification in a microgrid islanded configuration. The results demonstrate that the DRL-based inverter effectively maintains 220 VRMS at 50 Hz, achieving a stable root mean square voltage of 219.8 V, and a total harmonic distortion (THD) below 8%. The use of DRL making it an attractive solution for renewable energy systems, off-grid applications, and rural electrification. This study highlights the feasibility of DRL in power electronics and suggests that further optimization of training generalization and computational efficiency could enhance real-time and grid-tied deployment. The findings contribute to the advancement of intelligent inverter control, offering an alternative for next-generation microgrid and distributed energy systems.

Abstract

The pattern of the human face is a form of self-identity and also a form of originality for each individual. The development of facial recognition technology impacts its application in various computing devices, both in computer vision and on single-chip processors. One of the continuously developed implementations is in the form of robot vision by identifying facial features. This research aims to develop a facial recognition system focusing on the identification of the eye and nose areas. This research utilizes the Weightless Neural Network (WNN) method with the Immediate Scan technique. The combination of methods allows for rapid and accurate pattern recognition, even when the face changes position. The detection process is carried out using the Haar Cascade Classifier algorithm, which functions to recognize faces and divides the area into nine different zones to ensure accurate identification. The hardware implementation was carried out on a Raspberry Pi for face detection and facial pattern recognition, as well as the data processor for the robot vision sensor and actuator on the microcontroller. The results of the robot's movement testing have worked well according to the calculation of GPS data values to determine the robot's last position. Then, in the face pattern recognition process, it shows that the proposed method can achieve a maximum accuracy level of up to 98.87% in testing with the internal data set, while testing under different conditions experiences a slight decrease in accuracy to 91.38%. The highest similarity percentage to the faces of other individuals reached 75.69%, indicating that this method is quite adaptive to various facial variations. The execution time of the identification process ranges from 11 ms to 17 ms, depending on the amount of data compared during the scanning. This research is expected to serve as a foundation for further development in robotics systems and embedded system-based facial recognition.
