Abstract: Recent developments in wireless networking, big data technologies including 5G networks, healthcare big data analytics, the Internet of Things (IoT), sophisticated wearable technologies, and artificial intelligence (AI) have made it possible to design intelligent illness diagnostic models. In addition to its critical function in e-health applications, 5G-IoT is becoming a standard feature of intelligent software. Intelligent systems and architectures are necessary for e-health applications to counteract threats to the privacy of patients’ medical information. Using machine learning and IoMT, this research suggests a new approach to cloud data analysis using the 5G network in the context of a recommendation model. …This application of the 5G cloud network to the monitoring and analysis of healthcare data makes use of variational adversarial transfer convolutional neural networks. The treatment plan for abnormalities in a tolerant body is derived from this clustered outcome. Experiment analysis was performed for a number of healthcare datasets with respect to training precision, network efficiency, F-1 score, root-mean-squared error, and mean average precision as the metrics of interest.

Abstract: In recent years, the Internet of Things (IoT) has rapidly emerged as an essential technology, enabling seamless communication between billions of interconnected devices. These devices generate a massive amount of data that requires efficient management to ensure optimum performance in IoT environments. Dynamic load balancing (DLB) is a crucial technique employed to distribute workloads evenly across multiple computing resources, thereby reducing latency and increasing the overall efficiency of IoT networks. This paper presents a novel DLB approach based on type-2 fuzzy logic systems (T2FLS) to enhance the performance and reliability of IoT environments. The proposed T2FLS-based DLB technique addresses the …inherent uncertainties and imprecisions in IoT networks by considering various parameters, such as workload, processing capability, and communication latency. A comprehensive performance evaluation is carried out to compare the proposed method with traditional DLB approaches. Simulation results demonstrate that the T2FLS-based DLB technique significantly improves the network’s response time, throughput, and energy efficiency, while also providing better adaptability and robustness to dynamic changes in IoT environments. This study contributes to the advancement of DLB techniques in IoT networks and lays the groundwork for further research in this field. Show more

Abstract: Music has been utilized throughout history as a medium for cultural communication and artistic expression, embodying various nations’ and societies’ ideologies and experiences. Music culture communication is crucial for encouraging cultural diversity and understanding and developing social cohesion and community building among people. Music teaching management is the process of setting up, arranging, and executing music education programs in a manner that successfully teaches students the essential skills and information necessary for becoming proficient musicians. Users’ exact preferences for various areas of attraction cannot be determined, nor are users’ choices for traditional music recommendations sufficiently accurate. A recommender system estimates …or anticipates people’s preferences and offers appropriate recommendations. First, the sparsity problem emerges when insufficient data is accessible for the recommendation, and the coverage is one of the key drawbacks of social labeling. Cold start issues might be difficult since new music learners might not have given sufficient details about their musical tastes. Hence, the Hybridized Fuzzy logic-based Content and Collaborative Music Recommendation (HFC2MR) system is proposed to create personalized music teaching plans that are effective and engaging for each student based on their music preferences and learning outcomes. Enhanced Fuzzy C-Means clustering is used in collaborative recommendations to group users based on their shared musical tastes and to provide each user with more individualized, accurate music recommendations based on other users’ listening habits and preferences in the same cluster. Subsequently, an assessment of the recommender system using parameters like accuracy, precision, f1-score, and recall ratio is shown with optimal cluster selection. The coverage ratio is used to compare experimental data based on skill capacity covered through the assessment of music teaching. RMSE metric is used to evaluate the accuracy of students’ performance based on music attributes related to teaching goals. Show more

Abstract: Studying the evolution of karst rocky desertification (KRD) in control areas of diverse geomorphologic types and its correlation with land use provides valuable insights for identifying priority areas and implementing effective treatment measures. Employing Remote Sensing (RS) and GIS, this research quantitatively examines the evolution of KRD and its relationship with land use in the karst mountain and gorge areas of Guizhou Province over the period 2010 to 2020. The findings reveal continuous improvement in KRD across the study areas, albeit with noticeable regional disparities. Notably, the karst mountain region exhibited significantly higher change areas and rates of KRD, non-KRD, …light KRD, and moderate KRD compared to the gorge area, underscoring better desertification control in the former region. A discernible correlation emerges between different karst geomorphologic types, the distribution and changes in land use types, and the evolution of KRD. Land use change emerges as a pivotal factor influencing the improvement of KRD in these areas. Changes in land use patterns corresponded with a decrease in KRD in dry land, other woodland, grassland, and bare land across both regions. However, the response of KRD to land use patterns varied across control areas with different geomorphologic environments, resulting in geographical differentiation in KRD evolution. Key land use conversions, notably from shrubland to forestland and dry land to garden land in the gorge, and shrubland to forestland in the mountain, contributed significantly to KRD dynamics in these regions. Notably, in the gorge area, KRD primarily occurred in garden land, other woodland, dry land, and grassland. In contrast, in the mountain area, KRD was prevalent in shrubland, dry land, and grassland, highlighting distinct responses and contributions to its evolution. The study observes substantial land use change in KRD-improved areas, particularly in the gorge region. Notably, the responsiveness of KRD to woodland conversions (shrubland, forestland, other woodland) varied across different geomorphologic environments. The dynamics of rocky desertification occurrence (RDO) and the occurrence structure of KRD in various land use types exhibited significant differences between the two regions. The gorge area demonstrated generally higher RDO, with a relatively stable and simpler occurrence structure of KRD compared to the more dynamic and varied structure observed in the mountain area. The sequencing of KRD occurrence in both areas displayed stability in specific land use types, with varying intensities noted between them. Show more

Abstract: In the process of mapping outdoor undulating and flat roads, existing LiDAR SLAM systems often encounter issues such as map distortion and ghosting. These problems arise due to the low vertical resolution of multi-line LiDAR, which easily leads to the occurrence of odometry height drift during the mapping process. To address this challenge, this study propose a novel LiDAR SLAM system named SOHD-LOAM, designed specifically to suppress odometry height drift. This system encompasses several critical components, including data preprocessing, front-end LiDAR odometry, back-end LiDAR mapping, loop detection, and graph optimization. SOHD-LOAM leverages the road gradient limitation algorithm and the height …smoothing algorithm as its core, while also integrating the Kalman filter, loop detection, and graph optimization techniques. To evaluate the performance of SOHD-LOAM, the comprehensive experiments are conducted with using KITTI datasets and real-world scenes. The experimental results demonstrate that SOHD-LOAM achieves superior accuracy and robustness in global odometry compared to the state-of-the-art LEGO-LOAM. Specifically, the height error of the sequences 00, 05 experiment was found to be 40.62% and 61.92% lower than that of LEGO-LOAM. Additionally, the maps generated by SOHD-LOAM exhibit no distortion or ghosting, thereby significantly enhancing map quality. Show more

Abstract: Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) has advanced considerably during the past 20 years. Till date, various SER systems have been developed for monolingual, multilingual and cross corpus contexts. However, in a country like India where numerous languages are spoken and often humans converse in more than one language, a dedicated SER system for mixed-lingual scenario is more crucial to be established which is the focus of this work. A self-recorded database that includes speech emotion samples with 11 diverse Indian languages has been developed. In parallel, a mixed-lingual database is formed with three popular standard databases of Berlin, Baum and SAVEE …to represent mixed-lingual environment for western background. A detailed investigation of GeMAPS (Geneva Minimalistic Acoustic Parameter Set) feature set for mixed-lingual SER is performed. A distinct set of MFCC (Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients) coefficients derived from sine and cosine-based filter banks enriches the GeMAPS feature set and are proven to be robust for mixed-lingual emotion recognition. Various Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) algorithms have been applied for emotion recognition. The experimental results demonstrate GeMAPS features classified from ML has been quite robust for recognizing all the emotions across the mixed-lingual database of the western languages. However, with diverse recording conditions and languages of the Indian self-recorded database the GeMAPS with enriched features and classified using DL are proven to be significant for mixed-lingual emotion recognition.

Abstract: Neural Machine Translation (NMT) for low resource languages is a challenging task due to unavailability of large parallel corpus. The efficacy of Transformer based NMT models largely depends on scale of the parallel corpus and the configuration of hyperparameters implemented during model training. This study aims to delve into and elucidate the impact of hyperparameters on the performance of NMT models for low resource languages. To accomplish this, a series of experiments are conducted using an open-source Hindi-Kangri corpus to train both supervised and semi-supervised NMT models. Throughout the experimentation process, a significant number of discrepancies were identified within the …data-set, necessitating manual correction. The best translation performance evaluated with respect to the metrics such as BLEU (0–1), SacreBLEU (0–100), Chrf (0–100), Chrf+ (0–100), Chrf++ (0–100) and TER (%) is (0.15, 14.98, 41.43, 41.49, 38.77, 68.20) for Hindi to Kangri direction, and (0.283, 28.17, 49.71, 50.64, 48.63, 51.25) for Kangri to Hindi direction.

Abstract: Use of the Internet of Everything (IoE), the number of smart gadgets increasing rapidly giving the side effect of huge data, which has led to issues with traditional cloud computing models like inadequate security, slow response times, poor privacy, and bandwidth overload. Conventionally, cloud computing is no longer adequate for supporting the diversified needs of the user and the extraordinary society of data processing, so edge computing technologies have been revealed. This study considers edge computing in an educational institute in a scientific way. Multi criteria decision making (MCDM) is one of the most suitable decision making processes that propose …to choose optimal alternatives by considering multiple conflicting criteria. Entropy weighted method is considered to evaluate factor weight. Weighted Aggregated Sum Product Assessment (WASPAS) and Combined Compromise Solution (CoCoSo) based MCDM methodologies examine the ranking of alternatives for this study. Multiple decision makers (DMs) give opinions with Pentagonal Fuzzy Soft Set (PFSS) to express the uncertainty and fuzziness of the data set. The set operations and arithmetic operations of PFSS are discussed in detail. Also, a new de-fuzzification method of PFSS is proposed in this study. Calculated the criteria weight and prioritized the alternative based on source data. Lastly, sensitivity analysis and comparative analysis are conducted to check the stability of the result.

Abstract: Medical and satellite image analysis require incredibly high resolution. Super-resolution combines several low-resolution images of the same scene to generate a high-resolution image. The Super resolution employing deep learning techniques still has an illumination issue. This paper proposes a novel CGIHE-VDSR algorithm that integrates the Very Deep Super Resolution (VDSR) Network with Color Global Image Histogram Equalization (CGIHE) to improve image resolution. In the proposed method, the low-resolution image is first histogram equalized using the CGIHE algorithm. Then, the VDSR network is applied to the histogram equalized image for super-resolution. The comparison of real-time data with the benchmark images is …done using the proposed algorithm in the MATLAB platform. The PSNR and SSIM metrics demonstrate that the super resolution image obtained using the proposed method is significantly better than the existing methods. Show more
