Abstract Mobile technology is developing significantly. Mobile phone technologies have been integrated into the healthcare industry to help medical practitioners. Typically, computer vision models focus on image detection and classification issues. MobileNetV2 is a computer vision model that performs well on mobile devices, but it requires cloud services to process biometric image information and provide predictions to users. This leads to increased latency. Processing biometrics image datasets on mobile devices will make the prediction faster, but mobiles are resource-restricted devices in terms of storage, power, and computational speed. Hence, a model that is small in size,… More >

Abstract In recent years, with the continuous development of deep learning and knowledge graph reasoning methods, more and more researchers have shown great interest in improving knowledge graph reasoning methods by inferring missing facts through reasoning. By searching paths on the knowledge graph and making fact and link predictions based on these paths, deep learning-based Reinforcement Learning (RL) agents can demonstrate good performance and interpretability. Therefore, deep reinforcement learning-based knowledge reasoning methods have rapidly emerged in recent years and have become a hot research topic. However, even in a small and fixed knowledge graph reasoning action… More >

Abstract Estimation of crowd count is becoming crucial nowadays, as it can help in security surveillance, crowd monitoring, and management for different events. It is challenging to determine the approximate crowd size from an image of the crowd’s density. Therefore in this research study, we proposed a multi-headed convolutional neural network architecture-based model for crowd counting, where we divided our proposed model into two main components: (i) the convolutional neural network, which extracts the feature across the whole image that is given to it as an input, and (ii) the multi-headed layers, which make it easier More >

Abstract In recent years, Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring (NILM) has become an emerging approach that provides affordable energy management solutions using aggregated load obtained from a single smart meter in the power grid. Furthermore, by integrating Machine Learning (ML), NILM can efficiently use electrical energy and offer less of a burden for the energy monitoring process. However, conducted research works have limitations for real-time implementation due to the practical issues. This paper aims to identify the contribution of ML approaches to developing a reliable Energy Management (EM) solution with NILM. Firstly, phases of the NILM are discussed,… More >

Abstract Electricity theft is a widespread non-technical issue that has a negative impact on both power grids and electricity users. It hinders the economic growth of utility companies, poses electrical risks, and impacts the high energy costs borne by consumers. The development of smart grids is crucial for the identification of power theft since these systems create enormous amounts of data, including information on client consumption, which may be used to identify electricity theft using machine learning and deep learning techniques. Moreover, there also exist different solutions such as hardware-based solutions to detect electricity theft that… More >

Abstract Brain tumors are a pressing public health concern, characterized by their high mortality and morbidity rates. Nevertheless, the manual segmentation of brain tumors remains a laborious and error-prone task, necessitating the development of more precise and efficient methodologies. To address this formidable challenge, we propose an advanced approach for segmenting brain tumor Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images that harnesses the formidable capabilities of deep learning and convolutional neural networks (CNNs). While CNN-based methods have displayed promise in the realm of brain tumor segmentation, the intricate nature of these tumors, marked by irregular shapes, varying sizes,… More >

Abstract The evaluation of disease severity through endoscopy is pivotal in managing patients with ulcerative colitis, a condition with significant clinical implications. However, endoscopic assessment is susceptible to inherent variations, both within and between observers, compromising the reliability of individual evaluations. This study addresses this challenge by harnessing deep learning to develop a robust model capable of discerning discrete levels of endoscopic disease severity. To initiate this endeavor, a multi-faceted approach is embarked upon. The dataset is meticulously preprocessed, enhancing the quality and discriminative features of the images through contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE). A More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Software project outcomes heavily depend on natural language requirements, often causing diverse interpretations and issues like ambiguities and incomplete or faulty requirements. Researchers are exploring machine learning to predict software bugs, but a more precise and general approach is needed. Accurate bug prediction is crucial for software evolution and user training, prompting an investigation into deep and ensemble learning methods. However, these studies are not generalized and efficient when extended to other datasets. Therefore, this paper proposed a hybrid approach combining multiple techniques to explore their effectiveness on bug identification problems. The methods involved feature… More >

Abstract In recent years, how to efficiently and accurately identify multi-model fake news has become more challenging. First, multi-model data provides more evidence but not all are equally important. Secondly, social structure information has proven to be effective in fake news detection and how to combine it while reducing the noise information is critical. Unfortunately, existing approaches fail to handle these problems. This paper proposes a multi-model fake news detection framework based on Tex-modal Dominance and fusing Multiple Multi-model Cues (TD-MMC), which utilizes three valuable multi-model clues: text-model importance, text-image complementary, and text-image inconsistency. TD-MMC is… More >
