Abstract Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing healthcare by helping with diagnosis. However, for doctors to trust AI tools, they need to be both accurate and easy to understand. In this study, we created a new machine learning system for the early detection of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in children. Our main goal was to build a model that is not only good at predicting ASD but also clear in its reasoning. For this, we combined several different models, including Random Forest, XGBoost, and Neural Networks, into a single, more powerful framework. We used two different types More >

Abstract Smoking continues to be a major preventable cause of death worldwide, affecting millions through damage to the heart, metabolism, liver, and kidneys. However, current medical screening methods often miss the early warning signs of smoking-related health problems, leading to late-stage diagnoses when treatment options become limited. This study presents a systematic comparative evaluation of machine learning approaches for smoking-related health risk assessment, emphasizing clinical interpretability and practical deployment over algorithmic innovation. We analyzed health screening data from 55,691 individuals, examining various health indicators including body measurements, blood tests, and demographic information. We tested three advanced… More >

Abstract In the competitive retail industry of the digital era, data-driven insights into gender-specific customer behavior are essential. They support the optimization of store performance, layout design, product placement, and targeted marketing. However, existing computer vision solutions often rely on facial recognition to gather such insights, raising significant privacy and ethical concerns. To address these issues, this paper presents a privacy-preserving customer analytics system through two key strategies. First, we deploy a deep learning framework using YOLOv9s, trained on the RCA-TVGender dataset. Cameras are positioned perpendicular to observation areas to reduce facial visibility while maintaining accurate More >

Abstract Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithms (MOEAs) have significantly advanced the domain of Multi-Objective Optimization (MOO), facilitating solutions for complex problems with multiple conflicting objectives. This review explores the historical development of MOEAs, beginning with foundational concepts in multi-objective optimization, basic types of MOEAs, and the evolution of Pareto-based selection and niching methods. Further advancements, including decom-position-based approaches and hybrid algorithms, are discussed. Applications are analyzed in established domains such as engineering and economics, as well as in emerging fields like advanced analytics and machine learning. The significance of MOEAs in addressing real-world problems is emphasized, highlighting their More >

Abstract Electric vehicle (EV) monitoring systems commonly depend on IoT-based sensor measurements to track key performance parameters such as vehicle speed, state of charge (SoC), battery temperature, power consumption, motor RPM, and regenerative braking. While these systems enable real-time data acquisition, they are often hindered by sensor noise, communication delays, and measurement uncertainties, which compromise their reliability for critical decision-making. To overcome these limitations, this study introduces a comparative framework that integrates reference signals, a digital twin model emulating ideal system behavior, and real-time IoT measurements. The digital twin provides a predictive and noise-resilient representation of More >

Abstract High dropout rates in short-term job skills training programs hinder workforce development. This study applies machine learning to predict program completion while addressing class imbalance challenges. A dataset of 6548 records with 24 demographic, educational, program-specific, and employment-related features was analyzed. Data preprocessing involved cleaning, encoding categorical variables, and balancing the dataset using the Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE), as only 15.9% of participants were dropouts. six machine learning models—Logistic Regression, Random Forest, Support Vector Machine, K-Nearest Neighbors, Naïve Bayes, and XGBoost—were evaluated on both balanced and unbalanced datasets using an 80-20 train-test split.

Abstract Despite the gradual transformation of traditional manufacturing by the Human-Robot Collaboration Assembly (HRCA), challenges remain in the robot’s ability to understand and predict human assembly intentions. This study aims to enhance the robot’s comprehension and prediction capabilities of operator assembly intentions by capturing and analyzing operator behavior and movements. We propose a video feature extraction method based on the Temporal Shift Module Network (TSM-ResNet50) to extract spatiotemporal features from assembly videos and differentiate various assembly actions using feature differences between video frames. Furthermore, we construct an action recognition and segmentation model based on the Refined-Multi-Scale… More >

Abstract Predicting player performance in sports is a critical challenge with significant implications for team success, fan engagement, and financial outcomes. Although, in Major League Baseball (MLB), statistical methodologies such as sabermetrics have been widely used, the dynamic nature of sports makes accurate performance prediction a difficult task. Enhanced forecasts can provide immense value to team managers by aiding strategic player contract and acquisition decisions. This study addresses this challenge by employing the temporal fusion transformer (TFT), an advanced and cutting-edge deep learning model for complex data, to predict pitchers’ earned run average (ERA), a key More >

Abstract Kinship verification is a key biometric recognition task that determines biological relationships based on physical features. Traditional methods predominantly use facial recognition, leveraging established techniques and extensive datasets. However, recent research has highlighted ear recognition as a promising alternative, offering advantages in robustness against variations in facial expressions, aging, and occlusions. Despite its potential, a significant challenge in ear-based kinship verification is the lack of large-scale datasets necessary for training deep learning models effectively. To address this challenge, we introduce the EarKinshipVN dataset, a novel and extensive collection of ear images designed specifically for kinship… More >
