Abstract Accurate crude oil price forecasting is critical for global economic stability but remains an exceptionally challenging task due to the data’s complex, non-linear, and non-stationary nature. Deep learning models like LSTMs are widely favored. However, the dominant research trend currently focuses on increasingly complex hybrid and ensemble architectures. These models often suffer from high computational overhead, intricate tuning processes, and potential overfitting, raising critical questions about their necessity. In this paper, we challenged the assumption that complexity is required for high performance by proposing and evaluating a streamlined 1D-CNN model. We conducted a comprehensive evaluation… More >

Abstract Stress is mental tension caused by difficult situations, often experienced by hospital workers and IT professionals who work long hours. It is essential to detect the stress in shift workers to improve their health. However, existing models measure stress with physiological signals such as PPG, EDA, and blink data, which could not identify the stress level accurately. Additionally, the works face challenges with limited data, inefficient spatial relationships, security issues with health data, and long-range temporal dependencies. In this paper, we have developed a federated learning-based stress detection system for IT and hospital workers, integrating… More >

Abstract The burgeoning e-commerce industry has made online customer reviews a crucial source of feedback for businesses. Sentiment analysis, a technique used to extract subjective information from text, has become essential for understanding consumer sentiment and preferences. However, traditional sentiment analysis methods often struggle with the nuances and context of natural language. To address these issues, this study proposes a comparison of deep learning models that figure out the optimal method to accurately analyze consumer reviews on women's clothing. CNNs excel at capturing local features and semantic information, while LSTMs are adept at handling long-range dependencies… More >

Abstract The prediction of pregnancy-related hazards must be accurate and timely to safeguard mother and fetal health. This study aims to enhance risk prediction in pregnancy with a novel deep learning model based on a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) generator, designed to capture temporal relationships in cardiotocography (CTG) data. This methodology integrates CTG signals with demographic characteristics and utilizes preprocessing techniques such as noise reduction, normalization, and segmentation to create high-quality input for the model. It uses convolutional layers to extract spatial information, followed by LSTM layers to model sequences for superior predictive performance. The overall More >

Abstract Despite extensive prevention efforts and research, dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) remains a major public health challenge, particularly in tropical regions, with significant social, economic, and health consequences. Statistical models are crucial in studying infectious DHF by providing a structured framework to analyze transmission dynamics between humans (hosts) and mosquitoes (vectors). Depending on the disease characteristics, different stochastic compartmental models can be employed. This research applies Bayesian Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation (INLA) to the SIR-SI model for DHF data. The method delivers accurate parameter estimates, improved computational efficiency, and effective integration with early warning systems. The… More >

Abstract This study rigorously evaluates the potential of transfer learning in diagnosing retinal eye diseases using advanced models such as YOLOv8, Xception, ConvNeXtTiny, and VGG16. All models were trained on the esteemed RFMiD dataset, which includes images classified into six critical categories: Diabetic Retinopathy (DR), Macular Hole (MH), Diabetic Neuropathy (DN), Optic Disc Changes (ODC), Tesselated Fundus (TSLN), and normal cases. The research emphasizes enhancing model performance by prioritizing recall metrics, a crucial strategy aimed at minimizing false negatives in medical diagnostics. To address the challenge of imbalanced data, we implemented effective preprocessing techniques, including cropping,… More >

Abstract Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a complication of diabetes that can lead to reduced vision or even blindness if left untreated. Therefore, early and accurate detection of this disease is crucial for diabetic patients to prevent vision loss. This study aims to develop a deep-learning approach for the early and precise diagnosis of DR, as manual detection can be time-consuming, costly, and prone to human error. The classification task is divided into two groups for binary classification: patients with DR (diagnoses 1–4) and those without DR (diagnosis 0). For multi-class classification, the categories are no DR,… More >
