Our key contributions are threefold: (1) we analyse the relationship between environmental variables (temperature, humidity, and air quality) and COVID-19 trends across countries; (2) we propose a two-stage approach combining K-means clustering to group countries based on environmental conditions, followed by region-specific machine learning models using Support Vector Regression (SVR), Prophet, and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks for both univariate and multivariate time series forecasting; and (3) we demonstrate that LSTM significantly outperforms other models, achieving superior accuracy for 30-day COVID-19 case predictions.

To meet these needs, this work presents an Attention-Based Hybrid Model that can accurately and effectively classify Bangladeshi rice varieties. This research covers complex variations of feature space in shape, texture, and color based on 20 different rice varieties by using a comprehensive dataset of 27,000 high-resolution images that include real-world agricultural issues. The core innovation is proposed based on the Attention-Based CNN and CBAM structure. This in fact effectively highlights and enhances spatially and channel-orientated features, allowing the model to tell apart morphologically similar types of rice with high accuracy. The proposed Attention-Based CNN had achieved an accuracy of 91.92%, which leads to an improvement in both generalization aspects and robustness across different categories of testing conditions. Moreover, extending the proposed framework, feature extraction combined with KNN classifier reported the top accuracy of 99.35% proving that modern feature extraction and classification algorithms go hand in hand. This new combined approach does better than Random Forest and Support Vector Classifier because it solves problems that are normally associated with it such as finegrained features and scaling. Apart from that, the model represents one level up from the current paradigm of automated agriculture, bringing a robust, standardized, and flexible solution for rice variety identification. That way, this study provides a way of connecting a technological standpoint with the requirements that farmers have to address in order to further the issue of sustainability, support precision agriculture, and address the growing need for food quality and security in the world.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100694,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Cognitive Computing in Engineering","volume":"6 ","pages":"Pages 412-430"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143508701","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, to further improve the training quality in tennis teaching and enhance the accuracy of action recognition, a dual chain sharing unsupervised action recognition algorithm has been proposed. This study first designs a skeleton topology data augmentation method based on the physical connections of human joints to obtain advanced semantic embeddings. Then, an improved positive sample expansion strategy is utilized to enhance the diversity and quality of training data.
