The prospects to improve skin illness via the utilization of artificial intelligence algorithms is what renders this study economically important. Machine learning may assist physicians detect people quicker and more accurately. The effective identification of skin disorders using machine learning could result in the development of large and readily available digital tests. A model was used in the present study to analyze the HAM 10000 data. Two hundred images in total were chosen at random; one hundred showed dermatofibroma diseases, whereas the other hundred displayed benign keratosis. Subsequently, these images were resized to prepare for additional examination. The statistical features of the gray level co-occurrence matrix were calculated from the image dataset by changing the distances 0, 5, 10, 15 and angles 0°, 45°, 90°, 135°. Five different machine learning models were subsequently trained and assessed based on these features. The study shows that the logistic regression model accurately detects and classifies various skin diseases. The logistic regression model showed exceptional performance, exceeding the expected results in terms of accuracy 91.50%, sensitivity 93.00%, and F1-score 91.36. The results of the study were most favorable when using an angle measurement of 135°.

Abstract

AI and Machine Learning are crucial in advancing technology, especially for processing large, complex datasets. The transformer model, a primary approach in natural language processing (NLP), enables applications like translation, text summarization, and question-answer (QA) systems. This study compares two popular transformer models, FlanT5 and mT5, which are widely used yet often struggle to capture the specific context of the reference text. Using a unique Goddess Durga QA dataset with specialized cultural knowledge about Indonesia, this research tests how effectively each model can handle culturally specific QA tasks. The study involved data preparation, initial model training, ROUGE metric evaluation (ROUGE-1, ROUGE-2, ROUGE-L, and ROUGE-Lsum), and result analysis. Findings show that FlanT5 outperforms mT5 on multiple metrics, making it better at preserving cultural context. These results are impactful for NLP applications that rely on cultural insight, such as cultural preservation QA systems and context-based educational platforms.

Abstract

Choosing the right university major is an important decision for students, as delays or incorrect choices can harm their future careers and cause problems for academic departments. High dropout rates, which are frequently the result of poorly informed decisions, can be a considerable burden on faculty. This project aims to address these challenges by creating a recommendation system that provides individualized counsel to students based on their psychological profiles. A quantitative method was used, with questionnaires distributed to a large number of students. To verify the data's authenticity, replies were sought from students who were pleased with their selected majors rather than those who regretted their choices. The collected data formed the basis for a hybrid recommendation system that integrated Content-based Filtering and Collaborative Filtering methods. The system was then compared against standalone implementations of each filtering method to determine its usefulness in increasing suggestion accuracy. The results showed that the Hybrid Filtering strategy obtained a recommendation accuracy of 84.29%, outperforming Content-based  Filtering at 81.43% and Collaborative Filtering at 78.57%. The proposed model is easy to implement in a school or a university, as long as the required data is available. Thus, the model can help a school or university to reduce dropout rates and boost academic outcomes.

Abstract

In power system to optimized PMUs is a critical task to ensure maximum network observability while minimizing installation costs. This study presents a comparative analysis of three optimization techniques: Teaching-Learning-Based Optimization (TLBO), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), and a hybrid TLBO-PSO approach, focusing on their efficiency in determining the best PMU placements. Individual methods, such as TLBO and PSO, are often limited by longer computation times and the requirement for a higher number of PMUs to achieve full observability. In contrast, the hybrid TLBO-PSO method demonstrates significant improvements, consistently delivering solutions with fewer PMUs, faster computation times, and higher placement accuracy. By evaluating performance of these techniques on IEEE 14bus, 30bus and 57 bus systems through simulations conducted over 100 iterations for each method in every test case. The results highlight the hybrid approach's superior efficiency compared to individual methods. Furthermore, comparisons with prior research confirm that the hybrid TLBO-PSO approach is a robust and reliable solution for minimizing PMU installations while ensuring complete system observability.

Abstract

Urban air pollution, significantly influenced by vehicle emissions, poses severe health risks, particularly in rapidly urbanizing cities. This study investigates real-world emissions from diesel-powered passenger cars under mixed traffic conditions, focusing on compliance with Bharat Stage VI (BS VI) standards. Using Portable Emission Measurement Systems (PEMS), emission factors for Carbon Monoxide (CO), Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx), and the combined mass of Hydrocarbons and Oxides of Nitrogen (THC + NOx) were measured. Results revealed exceedances of 75%, 103.75%, and 40.59% for CO, NOx, and THC + NOx, respectively, underscoring inefficiencies in emission control technologies. Variability in emissions was linked to vehicle age, maintenance, driving behaviors, and challenging road conditions. These findings highlight the critical gap between laboratory-tested and real-world emissions, emphasizing the need for stricter regulations, advanced emission technologies, and public awareness campaigns. The study offers actionable insights for urban air quality improvement and policy development to reduce vehicular pollution.
