Multimedia user interfaces incorporate various feedback methods using different modalities. Cognitive processing of audiovisual information requires the ability to recall visual and auditory information, either separately, or in combination. Short-term memory capabilities vary individually and depend on factors such as signal presentation and the number and type of visual and auditory items. In an experiment involving 40 subjects, we aimed to compare short-term auditory and visual capabilities in a serious game application. Subjects played the ‘Pairs’ game at different resolutions, using either visual icons or audio samples, while the total time cost and number of flips were recorded. The results indicate that visual memory is not superior, and female subjects performed better than males at higher levels in the visual task. Additionally, human sound samples, speech and familiar auditory icons were found to be easier to recall than artificial measurement signals.

A contributing factor to traffic accidents is brake pad failure, which diminishes braking system performance and extends braking distance. This work develops a prototype utilizing internet of things (IoT) to measure brake pad thickness, hence enhancing driver awareness through real-time monitoring. The system establishes the thickness detection threshold at 75% (3-4 mm) and 50% (5–6 mm) as a cautionary parameter. The thickness parameter employs an American wire gauge (AWG) 18 cable to connect to the ESP32 microcontroller. The web-based IoT monitoring interface employs Laravel. This method enables drivers to get prompt notifications regarding the decrease in brake pad thickness, hence permitting urgent preventative maintenance to mitigate the risk of accidents. The system underwent testing through friction at a rotational speed of 600 to 6,000 rpm. The test findings indicated that the sensor precisely measured the brake pad thickness with a prototype response time of a second. This system is suitable for implementation on old model vehicles that do not have an early warning system. The installation of this technology is anticipated to enhance driver knowledge of the state of the brake pads, hence potentially diminishing the danger of brake system failure caused by unmonitored pad wear.

Diabetes is a severe illness characterized by high blood glucose levels. Machine learning algorithms, with their ability to detect and predict diabetes in its early stages, offer a promising avenue for research. This study sought to enhance the accuracy of predicting diabetes mellitus by employing the stacking method. The stacking method was chosen because it integrates predictions from various base models, resulting in a more precise final prediction. The stacking method enhances accuracy and generalization by utilizing the varied strengths of multiple base models. The Pima Indians diabetes dataset, a widely used benchmark dataset, was utilized in the study. The machine learning models used for the studies were logistic regression (LR), naïve Bayes (NB), extreme gradient boost (XGBoost), K-nearest neighbor (KNN), decision tree (DT), and support vector machine (SVM). LR, KNN, and SVM were the best-performing models based on accuracy, F1-score, precision, and area under the curve (AUC) score, and were consequently used as the base model for the stacking method. The LR model was utilized for the meta-model. The proposed ensemble approach using the stacking method demonstrated a high accuracy of 82.4%, better than the individual models and other ensemble techniques such as bagging or boosting. This study advances diabetes prediction by developing a more accurate early-stage detection model, thereby improving clinical management of the disease.

The advancement of deep learning in computer vision has result in substantial progress, particularly in image classification tasks. However, challenges arise when the model is applied to small and unbalanced datasets, such as X-ray data in medical applications. This study aims to improve the classification performance of fracture X-ray images using the EfficientNet architecture optimized with grey wolf optimization (GWO). EfficientNet was chosen for its efficiency in handling small datasets, while GWO was applied to optimize hyperparameters, including learning rate, weight decay, and dropout to improve model accuracy. Random cropping, rotation, flipping, color jittering, and random erasing, were used to expand the diversity of the dataset, and class weighting is applied to overcome class imbalance. The evaluation uses accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score metrics. The combination of EfficientNetB0 and GWO resulted in an average 4.5% improvement in model performance over baseline methods. This approach provides benefits in developing deep learning methods for medical image classification, especially in dealing with small and imbalanced datasets.

Epileptic seizures are one of the most prevalent brain disorders in the world. Electroencephalography (EEG) signal analysis is used to distinguish between normal and epileptic brain activity. To date, automatic diagnosis remains a highly relevant and significant research topic which can help in this task, especially considering that such diagnosis requires a significant amount of time to be carried out by an expert. As a result, the need for an effective seizure approach capable to classify the normal and epileptic brain signal automatically is crucial. In this perspective, this work proposes a deep neural network approach using transfer learning to classify spectrogram images that have been extracted from EEG signals. Initially, spectrogram images have been extracted and used as input to pre-trained models, and a second refinement is performed on certain feature extraction layers that were previously frozen. The EfficientNet and DarkNet networks are used. To overcome the lack of data, data augmentation was also carried out. The proposed work performed excellently, as assessed by multiple metrics, such as the 0.99 accuracy achieved with EfficientNet combined with a support vector machine (SVM) classifier.

In the current digital era, securing image transmission is crucial to ensure data integrity, prevent tampering, and preserve confidentiality as images traverse unsecured channels. This paper presents an innovative encryption scheme that synergistically combines a two-dimensional (2-D) logistic map, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) encoding, and 1-D cellular automata (CA) rules to significantly bolster encryption robustness. The proposed model initiates with the generation of a key image via the 2-D logistic map, yielding intricate chaotic sequences that fortify the encryption mechanism. DNA cryptography is employed to amplify randomness through diffusion properties, providing robust defense against various cryptographic attacks. The integration of 1-D CA rules further intensifies encryption complexity by iteratively processing DNA-encoded sequences. Experimental results substantiate that the proposed encryption scheme demonstrates exceptional endurance against a vast spectrum of attacks, affirming its superior security.

HepatoScan: Ensemble classification learning models for liver cancer disease detection

10.11591/csit.v6i2.p167-175
Tella Sumallika , Raavi Satya Prasad
Liver cancer is a dangerous disease that poses significant risks to human health. The complexity of early detection of liver cancer increases due to the unpredictable growth of cancer cells. This paper introduces HepatoScan, an ensemble classification to detect and diagnose liver cancer tumors from liver cancer datasets. The proposed HepatoScan is the integrated approach that classifies the three types of liver cancers: hepatocellular carcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma, and angiosarcoma. In the initial stage, liver cancer starts in the liver, while the second stage spreads from the liver to other parts of the body. Deep learning is an emerging domain that develops advanced learning models to detect and diagnose liver cancers in the early stages. We train the pre-trained model InceptionV3 on liver cancer datasets to identify advanced patterns associated with cancer tumors or cells. For accurate segmentation and classification of liver lesions in computed tomography (CT) scans, the ensemble multi-class classification (EMCC) combines U-Net and mask region-based convolutional network (R-CNN). In this context, researchers use the CT scan images from Kaggle to analyze the liver cancer tumors for experimental analysis. Finally, quantitative results show that the proposed approach obtained an improved disease detection rate with mean squared error (MSE)-11.34 and peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR)-10.34, which is high compared with existing models such as fuzzy C-means (FCM) and kernel fuzzy C-means (KFCM). The classification results obtained based on detection rate with accuracy-0.97%, specificity-0.99%, recall-0.99%, and F1S-0.97% are very high compared with other existing models.

Prediction models for beef meat quality are necessary because production and consumption were significant and increasing yearly. This study aims to create a prediction model for beef freshness quality using the random forest regressor (RFR) algorithm and to improve the accuracy of the predictions using hyperparameter tuning. The use of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in predicting beef quality is an easy, cheap, and fast technique. This study used six meat quality parameters as prediction target variables for the test. The R² metric was used to evaluate the prediction results and compare the performance of the RFR with default parameters versus the RFR with hyperparameter tuning (RandomSearchCV). Using default parameters, the R-squared (R²) values for color (L*), drip loss (%), pH, storage time (hour), total plate colony (TPC in cfu/g), and water moisture (%) were 0.789, 0.839, 0.734, 0.909, 0.845, and 0.544, respectively. After applying hyperparameter tuning, these R² scores increased to 0.885, 0.931, 0.843, 0.957, 0.903, and 0.739, indicating an overall improvement in the model’s performance. The average performance increase for prediction results for all beef quality parameters is 0.0997 or 14% higher than the default parameters.

Poonam Tripathy , Banishree Misra , Byamakesh Nayak
Integration of renewable energy systems (RESs) to the grid leads to various power quality issues. A proper control approach for the interfaced inverter is required to mitigate the uncertainties caused in the grid due to the RESs association to maintain the grid stability. The presence of harmonics and DC offset in the input grid voltage of a phase lock loop (PLL) leads to inaccurate phase estimation due to fundamental frequency oscillations. Though many advanced generalized integrator (GI) based PLLs have been developed still there is a need for a robust PLL for synchronization with faster dynamic response, both the harmonics and DC offset rejection ability with precise estimation. This paper proposes some simple yet effective advanced PLLs employing low pass filters (LPFs) in the existing GI based PLLs for faster and accurate phase angle estimation for seamless synchronization under complex grid circumstances. These advanced generalized integrators with LPFs (GI-LPF) based PLLs will provide enhanced and robust synchronization for the grid integrated RESs thereby addressing multiple power quality issues like voltage unbalance, harmonics and DC offsets. The simulation based comparative analysis of the proposed controllers confirm their effective disturbance rejection capability under complex grid conditions by providing advanced and precise response.
