Abstract Recent advancements in smart-meter technology are transforming traditional power systems into intelligent smart grids. It offers substantial benefits across social, environmental, and economic dimensions. To effectively realize these advantages, a fine-grained collection and analysis of smart meter data is essential. However, the high dimensionality and volume of such time-series present significant challenges, including increased computational load, data transmission overhead, latency, and complexity in real-time analysis. This study proposes a novel, computationally efficient framework for feature extraction and selection tailored to smart meter time-series data. The approach begins with an extensive offline analysis, where features are… More >

Abstract Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of mortality worldwide, necessitating efficient diagnostic tools. This study develops and validates a deep learning framework for phonocardiogram (PCG) classification, focusing on model generalizability and robustness. Initially, a ResNet-18 model was trained on the PhysioNet 2016 dataset, achieving high accuracy. To assess real-world viability, we conducted extensive external validation on the HLS-CMDS dataset. We performed four key experiments: (1) Fine-tuning the PhysioNet-trained model for binary (Normal/Abnormal) classification on HLS-CMDS, achieving 88% accuracy. (2) Fine-tuning the same model for multi-class classification (Normal, Murmur, Extra Sound, Rhythm Disorder), which yielded… More >

Abstract Blood cell disorders are among the leading causes of serious diseases such as leukemia, anemia, blood clotting disorders, and immune-related conditions. The global incidence of hematological diseases is increasing, affecting both children and adults. In clinical practice, blood smear analysis is still largely performed manually, relying heavily on the experience and expertise of laboratory technicians or hematologists. This manual process introduces risks of diagnostic errors, especially in cases with rare or morphologically ambiguous cells. The situation is more critical in developing countries, where there is a shortage of specialized medical personnel and limited access to… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Differentiating between regular and abnormal noises in machine-generated sounds is a crucial but difficult problem. For accurate audio signal classification, suitable and efficient techniques are needed, particularly machine learning approaches for automated classification. Due to the dynamic and diverse representative characteristics of audio data, the probability of achieving high classification accuracy is relatively low and requires further research efforts. This study proposes an ensemble model based on the LeNet and hierarchical attention mechanism (HAM) models with MFCC features to enhance the models’ capacity to handle bias.

Abstract Advancements in radiation-based imaging and computational intelligence have significantly improved medical diagnostics, particularly in dermatology. This study presents an ensemble-based skin lesion classification framework that integrates deep neural networks (DNNs) with transfer learning, a customized DNN, and an optimized self-learning binary differential evolution (SLBDE) algorithm for feature selection and fusion. Leveraging computational techniques alongside medical imaging modalities, the proposed framework extracts and fuses discriminative features from multiple pre-trained models to improve classification robustness. The methodology is evaluated on benchmark datasets, including ISIC 2017 and the Argentina Skin Lesion dataset, demonstrating superior accuracy, precision, and F1-score… More >

Abstract Transmission line faults pose a significant threat to power system resilience, underscoring the need for accurate and rapid fault identification to facilitate proper resource monitoring, economic loss prevention, and blackout avoidance. Extreme learning machine (ELM) offers a compelling solution for rapid classification, achieving network training in a single epoch. Leveraging the Internet of Things (IoT) and the virtual instrumentation capabilities of LabVIEW, ELM can enable the swift and precise identification of transmission line faults.

Abstract The rapid and accurate assessment of structural damage following an earthquake is crucial for effective emergency response and post-disaster recovery. Traditional manual inspection methods are often slow, labor-intensive, and prone to human error. To address these challenges, this study proposes STPEIC (Swin Transformer-based Framework for Interpretable Post-Earthquake Structural Classification), an automated deep learning framework designed for analyzing post-earthquake images. STPEIC performs two key tasks: structural components classification and damage level classification. By leveraging the hierarchical attention mechanisms of the Swin Transformer (Shifted Window Transformer), the model achieves 85.4% accuracy in structural component classification and 85.1% More >

Abstract The Jhelum River Basin in Pakistan has experienced recurrent and severe flooding over the past several decades, leading to substantial economic losses, infrastructure damage, and socio-environmental disruptions. This study uses multi-temporal satellite remote sensing data with historical hydrological records to map the spatial and temporal dynamics of major flood events occurring between 1988 and 2019. By utilizing satellite imagery from Landsat 5, Landsat 8, and Sentinel-2, key flood events were analyzed through the application of water indices such as the Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) and the Modified NDWI (MNDWI) to delineate flood extents.

Abstract In agricultural farms in India where the staple diet for most of the households is potato, plant leaf diseases, namely Potato Early Blight (PEB) and Potato Late Blight (PLB), are quite common. The class label Plant Healthy (PH) is also used. If these diseases are not identified early, they can cause massive crop loss and thereby incur huge economic losses to the farmers in the agricultural domain and can impact the gross domestic product of the nation. This paper presents a hybrid approach for potato plant disease severity estimation and classification of diseased and healthy… More >

Abstract Skin cancer is among the most common malignancies worldwide, but its mortality burden is largely driven by aggressive subtypes such as melanoma, with outcomes varying across regions and healthcare settings. These variations emphasize the importance of reliable diagnostic technologies that support clinicians in detecting skin malignancies with higher accuracy. Traditional diagnostic methods often rely on subjective visual assessments, which can lead to misdiagnosis. This study addresses these challenges by developing HybridFusionNet, a novel model that integrates Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) with 1D feature extraction techniques to enhance diagnostic accuracy.
