Satish Kumar , Asif Jamil Ansari , Anil Kumar Singh , Deepak Gangwar
This paper presents the design and implementation of a sensor-enabled off-grid solar charge controller aimed at maximizing the utilization of renewable energy. The proposed system integrates solar and load power sensors to minimize solar energy wastage. A microcontroller is employed to efficiently monitor and regulate battery voltage, solar power generation, and load demand. This system is designed to optimize solar energy usage, reduce dependency on the electrical grid, and lower electricity bills. Additionally, a main supply controller board with a display is introduced, along with a smart scheduler for appliance management. Prior to deployment, total solar power wastage was recorded at 93.1 watts per day. After implementing the proposed solution, wastage was reduced to 13.1 watts per day—reflecting an 85.92% reduction. These results confirm the system’s effectiveness in reducing energy loss, increasing self-consumption, and promoting energy sustainability in off-grid environments. It is important to note that this value may vary based on factors such as temperature, cloud cover, fog, and irradiation levels.

This study investigates five clustering algorithms—K-Means, Gaussian mixture model (GMM), hierarchical clustering (HC), k-medoids, and spectral clustering—applied to student performance in mathematics, reading, and writing to support the development of virtual reality (VR)-based adaptive learning systems. Cluster quality was assessed using Davies-Bouldin and Calinski-Harabasz indices. Spectral clustering achieved the best results (DBI = 0.75, CHI = 1322), followed by K-Means (DBI = 0.79, CHI = 1398), while HC demonstrated superior robustness to outliers. Three distinct student profiles—beginner, intermediate, and advanced—emerged, enabling targeted adaptive interventions. Supervised classifiers trained on these clusters reached up to 99% accuracy (logistic regression) and 97.5% (support vector machine (SVM)), validating the discovered groupings. This work introduces a novel, data-driven methodology integrating unsupervised clustering with supervised prediction, providing a practical framework for designing immersive VR learning environments.

This study investigates a conceptual framework for a hybrid intelligent control system designed to optimize the irrigation practice for field crops via fertigation technologies. This research is aimed at enhancing irrigation management through the improvement of the prediction, optimization, and regulation processes. This is achieved through the incorporation of modern computational intelligence with advanced deep learning based neural networks, evolutionary optimization algorithms, and the adaptive neuro-fuzzy technique. This hybrid control framework is made up of interconnected sets of monitoring and decision-making modules. These include subsystems for evaluation of soil conditions, monitoring of plant growth and physiological development, assessment of environmental and climatic conditions, and measurements of the intensity of solar radiation. Additional systems address the preparation of the fertigation mixture and control of intelligent decision-making processes. For this system, the overall control policy is rendered through a predictive neurocontrol approach with execution on a computer platform. A recurrent deep neural model, long short-term memory (LSTM) type, provides crop growth and development parameter predictions through the ability to explore temporal dependencies in agricultural processes. Optimization in the predictive control feedback is accomplished through genetic algorithms in an adaptive manner.

Prabhu R , Sivakumar Rajagopal
This research investigates the application of low-power circuits in medical devices and imaging systems. The primary goal is to address the growing demand for energy-efficient solutions in medical applications. There is an increasing need for energy-efficient solutions due to the development of medical technologies, particularly implanted and battery-operated medical devices. This paper explores the integration of adiabatic logic as a critical enabler for achieving low power consumption in medical applications. The study looks into different low-power circuit designs and technologies that optimize power usage without sacrificing performance. Adiabatic circuits offer a promising substitute for conventional circuitry in low-energy design. The research examines several low-power circuit designs and technologies that maximize power efficiency without compromising functionality. In low-energy design, adiabatic circuits present a possible alternative to traditional circuitry. Adiabatic logic aims to create energy-efficient digital circuits that consume significantly less power than conventional complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) circuits. We accomplish this by recovering and recycling energy that would otherwise be lost as heat and carefully controlling energy flows during switching events. Adiabatic logic is precious in battery-operated and energy-constrained devices.

Soil moisture monitoring is essential for precision agriculture to optimize irrigation and increase crop productivity. Traditional conductivity-based sensors often face limitations such as low sensitivity, slow response, and measurement instability. This study presents a simple and effective enhancement method by applying a graphene coating on copper electrodes using the drop casting technique. Experimental evaluations were conducted on natural soil samples at varying moisture levels. The graphene-coated sensor exhibited a significantly higher sensitivity of 23.0 Ω/% compared to 12.0 Ω/% for the uncoated sensor, a faster response time of approximately 5 seconds, and improved measurement consistency with a reduced standard deviation of ±15 Ω. Graphene's superior electrical conductivity and strong water affinity are key factors contributing to this performance improvement. These findings indicate that graphene-coated sensors offer a promising solution for reliable, cost-effective soil moisture monitoring in smart farming systems.

10.11591/ijeecs.v41.i2.pp645-654
Gene Marck B. Catedrilla , Joey Aviles
This study reviews the use of machine learning (ML) techniques to improve propensity score (PS) estimation in high-dimensional socioeconomic data. Traditional logistic regression (LR) often performs poorly under nonlinear and complex covariate structures, leading to bias and model misspecification. Across the reviewed studies, ensemble methods such as random forests (RF) and gradient boosting, and deep learning models consistently achieved better covariate balance, lower bias, and greater flexibility than conventional approaches, while classification-based methods improved performance in imbalanced datasets. The review also highlights practical considerations, including calibration, transparent reporting, and integration with doubly robust estimators to strengthen causal inference. The findings show that ML-based propensity score estimation (PSE) can substantially enhance the validity and reliability of socioeconomic evaluations, provided that its implementation is carefully guided by appropriate expertise and best-practice standards.

10.11591/ijeecs.v41.i2.pp601-613
G. Anish Mary , S. Sudha
Detecting fraudulent transactions is a big challenge in the digital financial world. Transaction volumes are growing quickly, and new attack methods often outstrip traditional detection systems. Current fraud-detection models usually lack clarity and do not perform reliably on unbalanced real-world datasets. This highlights the urgent need for clear and explainable deep-learning methods for tabular financial data. This paper presents an interpretable deep learning framework built on the TabNet classifier. It uses attention-driven feature selection, sparse representation learning, and sequential decision reasoning to model complex interactions among transactional, demographic, and geographical factors. The model was tested on a real-world credit card transaction dataset with 23 features. It achieved 99.69% accuracy, a 0.975 F1-score, and a 0.956 ROC-AUC. This performance outperforms benchmark models such as random forest, XGBoost, LightGBM, and logistic regression. In addition to outstanding predictive results. Furthermore, interpretability is enhanced by TabNet's attention-based feature attribution. This facilitates the clear understanding of model decisions, supporting its use in regulated financial environments where precision and responsibility are crucial.

10.11591/ijeecs.v41.i2.pp823-832
Durga Meena Rajendran , Maharajan Kalianandi , Bhuvanesh Ananthan
Recently, stock trend analysis has played an integral role in gaining knowledge about trading policy and determining stock intrinsic patterns. Several conventional studies reported stock trend prediction analysis but failed to obtain better performance due to poor generalization capability and high gradient vanishing problems. In light of the need to forecast stock price trends using both textual and empirical price data, this research proposed a novel hybridized deep learning (DL) model. Preprocessing, feature extraction, and prediction are the three effective stages that the created research goes through in order to properly estimate the stock movements. Data cleaning, which helps improve data quality, is calculated in the preprocessing step. Next, we use the created CDConv-OGRU technique-hybridized circularly dilated convolutions with orthogonal gated recurrent units-to extract features and make predictions. Python serves as the platform for processing and analyzing the created approach. This research uses a publicly accessible StockNet database for testing and compares results using a number of performance metrics, including accuracy, recall, precision, Mathew’s correlation coefficient (MCC), and f-score. In the experimental part, the created approach obtains a total of 95.16% accuracy, 94.8% precision, 94.89% recall, 95% confidence interval, and 0.9 MCC, in that order.

RAC: a reusable adaptive convolution for CNN layer

10.11591/ijeecs.v41.i2.pp753-763

This paper proposes reusable adaptive convolution (RAC), an efficient alternative to standard 3×3 convolutions for convolutional neural networks (CNNs). The main advantage of RAC lies in its simplicity and parameter efficiency, achieved by sharing horizontal and vertical 1×k/k×1 filter banks across blocks within a stage and recombining them through a lightweight 1×1 mixing layer. By operating at the operator design level, RAC avoids post-training compression steps and preserves the conventional Conv–BN–activation structure, enabling seamless integration into existing CNN backbones. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method, extensive experiments are conducted on CIFAR-10 using several architectures, including ResNet-18/50/101, DenseNet, WideResNet, and EfficientNet. Experimental results demonstrate that RAC significantly reduces parameters and memory usage while maintaining competitive accuracy. These results indicate that RAC offers a reasonable balance between accuracy and compression, and is suitable for deploying CNN networks on resource-constrained platforms.

Predicting customer churn is a challenging problem in many subscription-based industries, though it is considered more cost-effective than acquiring new customers. In this research, customer churn is predicted using a public dataset from an internet service provider, with 72,274 instances and 55% churn rate. The main contribution is to provide a comprehensive comparison of the stability and performance of eight classification algorithms in customer churn prediction using a large-scale public dataset. The research process includes data collection, data preprocessing, feature engineering, and model evaluation. The metrics evaluation presents test accuracy, accuracy gap, precision, recall, F1-Score, and ROC AUC, with stratified K-Fold cross-validation. Since the proportion of churn and non-churn in the dataset is relatively balanced, the F1-score is considered as the primary evaluation metric, as it provides a balanced assessment of precision and recall for both classes. The results show that CatBoost and XGBoost are the most effective models that achieve high F1-scores of 94.97% and 94.92%, respectively.

Dengue is a viral infection that is transmitted from mosquitoes to people. It is more common in regions with tropical and subtropical climates. Accurate dengue forecasting is important to make the right decisions on time. In this sense, in this study, deep learning models with attention mechanisms such as long short-term memory (LSTM), bidirectional LSTM (BiLSTM), gated recurrent unit (GRU), and bidirectional GRU (BiGRU) were implemented, and to improve the accuracy of model results they were linearly interpolated. According to the results, in most cases, linear interpolation improved the implemented deep learning models with attention mechanisms in terms of mean squared error (RMSE), mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) and R2. For one-step predictions, improvements occurred between 0.08% and 0.13%, for two-step predictions between 8.55% and 22.81%, for three-step predictions between 0.26% and 23.88%, for four-steps between 0.15% and 4.79%, and between 0.11% and 0.19% for five-step predictions. Based on the obtained results, it is possible to experiment with other types of interpolations such as polynomial, spline, and inverse distance weighting (IDW).
