Abstract: Emotion detection in educational dialogues, particularly within student-teacher interactions, has become a crucial research area for improving the learning experience. In this paper, we employ two models, one generic Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) and the Emotion detection model Robustly Optimized BERT Approach (EmoRoBERTa), to automatically classify emotions in a corpus of student-teacher chat interactions. Then subsequently, we validate these classifications using a scheme based on oracles, employing two generative large language models (ChatGPT and Bard). Experiments on emotion detection in dialogues between students and teachers revealed that EmoRoBERTa exhibited a reasonable level of agreement with the oracles, while …ChatGPT demonstrated the highest consistency with EmoRoBERTa’s predictions. Furthermore, we identified the impact of specific words on emotion classification, offering insights into the decision-making process of these models. The results not only highlight the prominent presence of emotions like approval, gratitude, curiosity, disapproval, amusement, confusion, remorse, joy , and surprise but also provide substantial support for the utilization of the proposed emotion detection model to enhance the student learning environment. Exploring the emotional aspects of educational dialogues holds the potential to enhance instruction methods, provide timely assistance to students in need, and create an improved learning atmosphere.

Abstract: With the rise of the fruit processing industry, machine learning and image processing have become necessary for quality control and monitoring of fruits. Recently, strong vision-based solutions have emerged in farming industries that make inspections more accurate at a much lower cost. Advanced deep learning methods play a key role in these solutions. In this study, we built an image-based framework that uses the ResNet-101 CNN model to identify different types of papaya fruit diseases with minimal training data and processing power. A case study to identify commonly encountered papaya fruit diseases during harvesting was used to support the results …of the suggested methodology. A total of 983 images of both healthy and defective papaya were considered during the experiment. In this study, we initially used the ResNet-101 CNN model for classification and then combined the deep features drawn out from the activation layer (fc1000) of the ResNet-101 CNN along with a multi-class Support Vector Machine (SVM) to classify papaya fruit defect detection. After comparing the performance of both approaches, it was found that Cubic SVM is the best classifier using the deep feature of ResNet-101 CNN, achieved with an accuracy of 99.5% and an area under the curve (AUC) of 1 without any classification error. The findings of this experiment reveal that the ResNet-101 CNN with the cubic SVM model can categorize good, diseased, and defective papaya pictures. Moreover, the suggested model executed the task in a greater way in terms of the F1- Score (0.99), sensitivity (99.50%), and precision (99.71%). The present work not only assists the end user in determining the type of disease but also makes it possible for them to take corrective measures during farming. Show more

Abstract: Modern image processing techniques are improving beyond old methods, which include advanced approaches, for example deep learning. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are excellent at automatic feature extraction, whereas Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) produce realistic images. Transfer learning uses pre-trained models, whereas semantic segmentation identifies pixels in images. Super-resolution, style transfer, and attention mechanisms can increase the quality of images and understanding. Adversarial defenses address purposeful manipulations, while 3D image processing handles three-dimensional data. These advancements make use of improved computational power and massive datasets to revolutionize image processing capabilities. Traditional image processing algorithms frequently fail to handle the complex and …multidimensional structure of color images, particularly when dealing with uncertainty and imprecision. In this study, the 3D-EIFIM frame work is extented and scaled aggregation operations 3D-EIFIM tailored for image data are proposed. By representing each pixel as an entry of 3D-EIFIM and applying aggregation techniques to enable more effective image analysis, manipulation, and enhancement. The practical implications of this research are significant, as it can lead to advancements in fields such as computer vision, medical imaging, and remote sensing. Show more

Abstract: The Padmakar-Ivan (PI) index of a connected graph G is given by PI (G ) = ∑e =(u ,v )∈E (G ) (|V (G ) | - N G (e )) and weighted Padmakar-Ivan index is PI w (G ) = ∑e =(u ,v )∈E (G ) (d G (u ) + d G (v )) (|V (G ) | - N G (e )) . In this paper, we present the PI index for various classes of perfect graphs, including block graphs, the line graph of unicyclic graphs, and split graphs. The theorems established in this study are applied to ascertain the PI index of chain and …cyclic silicates. Furthermore, we derive both the PI and weighted PI indices for the lexicographic product of two regular graphs and determine the exact values for the lexicographic product involving a regular graph and a complete multipartite graph.

Abstract: Monotonic classification is a widely applied classification task where improvements in specific input values do not lead to worse outputs. Monotonic classifiers based on K-nearest neighbors (KNN) have become crucial tools for addressing such tasks. However, these models share drawbacks with traditional KNN classifiers, including high computational complexity and sensitivity to noise. Fuzzy Monotonic K-Nearest Neighbors (FMKNN) is currently the state-of-the-art KNN-based monotonic classifier, mitigating the impact of noise to some extent. Nevertheless, there is still room for improvement in reducing computational complexity and softening monotonicity in FMKNN. In this paper, we propose a prototype selection algorithm based on FMKNN, …named Condensed Fuzzy Monotonic K-Nearest Neighbors (C -FMKNN). This algorithm achieves a dynamic balance between monotonicity and test accuracy by constructing a joint evaluation function that combines fuzzy ranking conditional entropy and correct prediction. Data reduction and simplifying computations can be achieved by using C -FMKNN to filter out instance subsets under the adaptive dynamic balance between monotonicity and test accuracy. Extensive experiments show that the proposed C -FMKNN improves significantly in terms of ACCU, MAE and NMI compared with the involved KNN-based non-monotonic algorithms and non-KNN monotonic algorithms. Compared with the instance selection algorithms MCNN, MENN, and MONIPS, C -FMKNN improves the average values of ACCU, MAE, and NMI by 3.7%, 3.6% and 18.3%, respectively, on the relevant datasets. In particular, compared with the benchmark algorithm FMKNN, C -FMKNN achieves an average data reduction rate of 58.74% while maintaining or improving classification accuracy. Show more

Abstract: Deep learning-based models are employed in computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) tools development for pediatric pneumonia (P-Pneumonia) detection. The accuracy of the model depends on the scaling of the deep learning model. A survey on deep learning shows that models with a greater number of layers achieve better performances for P-Pneumonia detection. However, the identification of the optimal models is considered to be important work for P-Pneumonia detection. This work presents a hybrid deep learning model for P-Pneumonia detection. The model leverages the EfficientNetV2 model that employs various advanced methodologies to maintain the balance between the model scaling and the performance of …the model in P-Pneumonia detection. The features of EfficientNetV2 models are passed into global weighted average pooling (GWAP) which acts like an attention layer. It helps to extract the important features that point to the infected regions of the radiography image and discard all the unimportant information. The features from GWAP are high in dimension and using kernel-based principal component analysis (K-PCA), the features were reduced. Next, the reduced features are combined together and passed into a stacked classifier. The stacked classifier is a two-stage approach in which the first stage employs a support vector machine (SVM) and random forest tree (RFT) for the prediction of P-Pneumonia using the fused features and logistic regression (LRegr) on values of prediction for classification. Detailed experiments were done for the proposed method in P-Pneumonia detection using publically available benchmark datasets. Various settings in the experimental analysis are done to identify the best model. The proposed model outperformed the other methods by improving the accuracy by 4% in P-Pneumonia detection. To show that the proposed model is robust, the model performances were shown on the completely unseen dataset of P-Pneumonia. The hybrid deep learning-based P-Pneumonia model showed good performance on completely unseen data samples of P-Pneumonia patients. The generalization of the proposed P-Pneumonia model is studied by evaluating the model on similar lung diseases such as COVID-19 (CV-19) and Tuberculosis (TBS). In all the experiments, the P-Pneumonia model has shown good performances on similar lung diseases. This indicates that the model is robust and generalizable on data samples of different patients with similar lung diseases. The P-Pneumonia models can be used in healthcare and clinical environments to assist doctors and healthcare professionals in improving the detection rate of P-Pneumonia. Show more

Abstract: Semi-supervised learning (SSL) aims to reduce reliance on labeled data. Achieving high performance often requires more complex algorithms, therefore, generic SSL algorithms are less effective when it comes to image classification tasks. In this study, we propose ComMatch, a simpler and more effective algorithm that combines negative learning, dynamic thresholding, and predictive stability discriminations into the consistency regularization approach. The introduction of negative learning is to help facilitate training by selecting negative pseudo-labels during stages when the network has low confidence. And ComMatch filters positive and negative pseudo-labels more accurately as training progresses by dynamic thresholds. Since high confidence does …not always mean high accuracy due to network calibration issues, we also introduce network predictive stability, which filters out samples by comparing the standard deviation of the network output with a set threshold, thus largely reducing the influence of noise in the training process. ComMatch significantly outperforms existing algorithms over several datasets, especially when there is less labeled data available. For example, ComMatch achieves 1.82% and 3.6% error rate reduction over FlexMatch and FixMatch on CIFAR-10 with 40 labels respectively. And with 4000 labeled samples, ComMatch achieves 0.54% and 2.65% lower error rates than FixMatch and MixMatch, respectively. Show more
