Abstract The identification of individuals through ear images is a prominent area of study in the biometric sector. Facial recognition systems have faced challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic due to mask-wearing, prompting the exploration of supplementary biometric measures such as ear biometrics. The research proposes a Deep Learning (DL) framework, termed DeepBio, using ear biometrics for human identification. It employs two DL models and five datasets, including IIT Delhi (IITD-I and IITD-II), annotated web images (AWI), mathematical analysis of images (AMI), and EARVN1.

Abstract Emotion recognition is a growing field that has numerous applications in smart healthcare systems and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). However, physical methods of emotion recognition such as facial expressions, voice, and text data, do not always indicate true emotions, as users can falsify them. Among the physiological methods of emotion detection, Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a reliable and efficient way of detecting emotions. ECG-enabled smart bands have proven effective in collecting emotional data in uncontrolled environments. Researchers use deep machine learning techniques for emotion recognition using ECG signals, but there is a need to develop efficient models… More >

Abstract The Internet of Things (IoT) links various devices to digital services and significantly improves the quality of our lives. However, as IoT connectivity is growing rapidly, so do the risks of network vulnerabilities and threats. Many interesting Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) are presented based on machine learning (ML) techniques to overcome this problem. Given the resource limitations of fog computing environments, a lightweight IDS is essential. This paper introduces a hybrid deep learning (DL) method that combines convolutional neural networks (CNN) and long short-term memory (LSTM) to build an energy-aware, anomaly-based IDS. We test this… More >

Abstract Deaf people or people facing hearing issues can communicate using sign language (SL), a visual language. Many works based on rich source language have been proposed; however, the work using poor resource language is still lacking. Unlike other SLs, the visuals of the Urdu Language are different. This study presents a novel approach to translating Urdu sign language (UrSL) using the UrSL-CNN model, a convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture specifically designed for this purpose. Unlike existing works that primarily focus on languages with rich resources, this study addresses the challenge of translating a sign language… More >

Abstract Chinese Clinical Named Entity Recognition (CNER) is a crucial step in extracting medical information and is of great significance in promoting medical informatization. However, CNER poses challenges due to the specificity of clinical terminology, the complexity of Chinese text semantics, and the uncertainty of Chinese entity boundaries. To address these issues, we propose an improved CNER model, which is based on multi-feature fusion and multi-scale local context enhancement. The model simultaneously fuses multi-feature representations of pinyin, radical, Part of Speech (POS), word boundary with BERT deep contextual representations to enhance the semantic representation of text… More >
