Abstract Recognizing irregular text in natural images is a challenging task in computer vision. The existing approaches still face difficulties in recognizing irregular text because of its diverse shapes. In this paper, we propose a simple yet powerful irregular text recognition framework based on an encoder-decoder architecture. The proposed framework is divided into four main modules. Firstly, in the image transformation module, a Thin Plate Spline (TPS) transformation is employed to transform the irregular text image into a readable text image. Secondly, we propose a novel Spatial Attention Module (SAM) to compel the model to concentrate on text regions and obtain… More >

Abstract Speech enhancement is the task of taking a noisy speech input and producing an enhanced speech output. In recent years, the need for speech enhancement has been increased due to challenges that occurred in various applications such as hearing aids, Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), and mobile speech communication systems. Most of the Speech Enhancement research work has been carried out for English, Chinese, and other European languages. Only a few research works involve speech enhancement in Indian regional Languages. In this paper, we propose a two-fold architecture to perform speech enhancement for Tamil speech signal based on convolutional recurrent neural… More >

Abstract Presently, customer retention is essential for reducing customer churn in telecommunication industry. Customer churn prediction (CCP) is important to predict the possibility of customer retention in the quality of services. Since risks of customer churn also get essential, the rise of machine learning (ML) models can be employed to investigate the characteristics of customer behavior. Besides, deep learning (DL) models help in prediction of the customer behavior based characteristic data. Since the DL models necessitate hyperparameter modelling and effort, the process is difficult for research communities and business people. In this view, this study designs an optimal deep canonically correlated… More >

Abstract In modern industry, process monitoring plays a significant role in improving the quality of process conduct. With the higher dimensional of the industrial data, the monitoring methods based on the latent variables have been widely applied in order to decrease the wasting of the industrial database. Nevertheless, these latent variables do not usually follow the Gaussian distribution and thus perform unsuitable when applying some statistics indices, especially the T2 on them. Variational AutoEncoders (VAE), an unsupervised deep learning algorithm using the hierarchy study method, has the ability to make the latent variables follow the Gaussian distribution. The partial least squares… More >

Abstract Offensive messages on social media, have recently been frequently used to harass and criticize people. In recent studies, many promising algorithms have been developed to identify offensive texts. Most algorithms analyze text in a unidirectional manner, where a bidirectional method can maximize performance results and capture semantic and contextual information in sentences. In addition, there are many separate models for identifying offensive texts based on monolingual and multilingual, but there are a few models that can detect both monolingual and multilingual-based offensive texts. In this study, a detection system has been developed for both monolingual and multilingual offensive texts by… More >

Abstract The recently developed machine learning (ML) models have the ability to obtain high detection rate using biomedical signals. Therefore, this article develops an Optimal Sparse Autoencoder based Sleep Stage Classification Model on Electroencephalography (EEG) Biomedical Signals, named OSAE-SSCEEG technique. The major intention of the OSAE-SSCEEG technique is to find the sleep stage disorders using the EEG biomedical signals. The OSAE-SSCEEG technique primarily undergoes preprocessing using min-max data normalization approach. Moreover, the classification of sleep stages takes place using the Sparse Autoencoder with Smoothed Regularization (SAE-SR) with softmax (SM) approach. Finally, the parameter optimization of the SAE-SR technique is carried out… More >

Abstract Tea plant cultivation plays a significant role in the Indian economy. The Tea board of India supports tea farmers to increase tea production by preventing various diseases in Tea Plant. Various climatic factors and other parameters cause these diseases. In this paper, the image retrieval model is developed to identify whether the given input tea leaf image has a disease or is healthy. Automation in image retrieval is a hot topic in the industry as it doesn’t require any form of metadata related to the images for storing or retrieval. Deep Hashing with Integrated Autoencoders is our proposed method for… More >

Abstract With the exponential developments of wireless networking and inexpensive Internet of Things (IoT), a wide range of applications has been designed to attain enhanced services. Due to the limited energy capacity of IoT devices, energy-aware clustering techniques can be highly preferable. At the same time, artificial intelligence (AI) techniques can be applied to perform appropriate disease diagnostic processes. With this motivation, this study designs a novel squirrel search algorithm-based energy-aware clustering with a medical data classification (SSAC-MDC) model in an IoT environment. The goal of the SSAC-MDC technique is to attain maximum energy efficiency and disease diagnosis in the IoT… More >

Abstract In recent years, computer vision finds wide applications in maritime surveillance with its sophisticated algorithms and advanced architecture. Automatic ship detection with computer vision techniques provide an efficient means to monitor as well as track ships in water bodies. Waterways being an important medium of transport require continuous monitoring for protection of national security. The remote sensing satellite images of ships in harbours and water bodies are the image data that aid the neural network models to localize ships and to facilitate early identification of possible threats at sea. This paper proposes a deep learning based model capable enough to… More >

Abstract IC (Image Captioning) is a crucial part of Visual Data Processing and aims at understanding for providing captions that verbalize an image’s important elements. However, in existing works, because of the complexity in images, neglecting major relation between the object in an image, poor quality image, labelling it remains a big problem for researchers. Hence, the main objective of this work attempts to overcome these challenges by proposing a novel framework for IC. So in this research work the main contribution deals with the framework consists of three phases that is image understanding, textual understanding and decoding. Initially, the image… More >
