Dementia is a decline in cognitive function and is typically diagnosed when acquired cognitive impairment is severe enough to affect social and/or occupational functioning. Between no cognitive impairment (NCI) and dementia, there are many intermediate states. Predictive cognitive impairment can be useful for initiating treatment to prevent further brain damage. Several deep learning-based approaches have been proposed for the classification of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease (AD)..

Modern electrical systems rely heavily on sensors and relays for fault detection in three-phase transmission lines and distribution transformers. However, these devices often need more time complexity and are prone to false alarms (erroneous signals). The study was guided by the PRISMA guidelines and methodology. The study's objective was to compare the levels of accuracy of fault detection presented by different models studied between 2023 and 2024. The general objective..

Crowd-sourcing has been widely explored for monitoring and feedback on infrastructure and services, such as air and water quality analysis. However, the traditional methods of crowd-sourcing for feedback and analysis of water quality, such as offline and online surveys, have several limitations, such as the limited number of participants and low frequency due to the labor involved in conducting such surveys. Social media analytics could overcome these challenges by providing..

Network segmentation is a very important approach in enhancing network security. The approach involves breaking down the network into smaller, more manageable segments, each with its own specific security requirements. This strategy supports maintaining stable perimeters and effective access control while safeguarding critical resources, such as database servers, from unauthorized access. The relevance of network segmentation in IIoT comes right with the state-of-the-art and interconnected nature of many devices that..

Effective indoor navigation in the presence of dynamic obstacles is crucial for mobile robots. Previous research on deep reinforcement learning (DRL) for robot navigation has primarily focused on expanding neural network (NN) architectures and optimizing hardware setups. However, the impact of other critical factors, such as backward motion enablement, frame stacking buffer size, and the design of the behavioral reward function, on DRL-based navigation remains relatively unexplored. To address this..

This paper presents a smart diagnostic framework for dental smile analysis. To accurately and efficiently identify esthetic issues from a single image of a smile, a convolutional neural network (CNN) was trained. To overcome the limitations of scarce data, a diffusion model was employed to generate dental smile images in addition to manually curated data. The CNN was trained and evaluated on three datasets: all real images, all generated images,..

Lossy compression has become essential an important technique to reduce data size in many domains. This type of compression is especially valuable for large-scale scientific data, whose size ranges up to several petabytes. Although Autoencoder-based models have been successfully leveraged to compress images and videos, such neural networks have not widely gained attention in the scientific data domain. Our work presents a neural network that not only significantly compresses large-scale..
