This research work focuses on Fingerspelling recognition task, which constitutes 35% of the American Sign Language (ASL). Fingerspelling identifies the word letter by letter. Fingerspelling is used for signing the words which do not have designated ASL signs such as technical terms, content words and proper nouns. In our proposed work for ASL Fingerspelling recognition, we consider ChicagoFSWild dataset which consists of occlusions and images captured in varying illuminations, lighting conditions (in the wild environments). The optical flow is obtained from Lucas-Kanade algorithm, prior is generated, images are resized and cropped with face-roi technique to get the region of interest (ROI). The visual attention mechanism attends to the ROI iteratively. ResNet, pretrained on Imagenet is used for the extraction of spatial features. The Bi-LSTM network with Connectionist Temporal Classification (CTC) is used to predict the sign. It provides the accuracy of 57% on ChicagoFSWild dataset for Fingerspelling recognition task.","PeriodicalId":150346,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE 8th International Conference for Convergence in Technology (I2CT)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125002887","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the best diagnostic tool for detecting heart disease is through an ECG test. Models trained using signal data related to ECG is difficult to be implemented in an actual healthcare scenario. A CNN model is proposed which makes use of 12-lead ECG images to diagnose cardiac conditions such as myocardial infarction, abnormal heart beat, history of myocardial infarction and normal heartbeat. The ECG image can be taken by scanning the image using a smart phone. This would be very helpful in small healthcare centers where there are no experts for diagnosis. The proposed model was efficiently trained with an accuracy of 99% and cardiac condition was diagnosed using ECG images scanned using a mobile with a superior performance. The work also compares the performance of model with pretrained models as ResNet and EfficientNet-B0 for the same ECG image dataset.","PeriodicalId":150346,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE 8th International Conference for Convergence in Technology (I2CT)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125181784","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Vehicle theft, according to data, has increased yearly. But the proportion of cases that the police really resolve is still quite small. It is challenging for police to locate stolen vehicles since they are sometimes carried to locations distant from the scene of the theft. Therefore, a need for an automated system to assist in tracking such cars arises. These issues are what our project tries to fix. The police will receive a tonne of information from this system that they may utilise to solve theft cases. Using the YOLO V3 algorithm and Canny Edge Detection, the identification system will automatically recognize automobile license plate numbers. After a license plate is identified, the following actions are taken: 1. to photograph the license plate. 2. to recognize and divide characters. 3. The time and date are then recorded in a database together with the identifying license plate for further use. 4. In the event that a stolen vehicle is discovered, a thorough report detailing the location and the time the vehicle first appeared is prepared, and police are notified that a match has been made. The method may be applied to increase security and accuracy.","PeriodicalId":150346,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE 8th International Conference for Convergence in Technology (I2CT)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125123463","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Increase in the availability of content over the web and high user engagements, has led to the demand of the means that implicitly provide feedback. Implicit feedback relies on understanding the quality of the content based on the user activities performed over the web applications. Less accuracy is the limitation. It needs to stand with a support to provide as strong base as the explicit model does. Clipboard copy operations on the webpage provide an implicit insight to the user intentions. Screen activities like scrolling and pinch to zoom further can statistically be proven the positive indicators of user interest.

Though it is not a life-threatening disease, a person suffering from thyroid faces many complications in their daily life. Recent trends have shown that women suffer more from thyroid-related diseases than men. The many contributing factors that lead to thyroid disease may be controlled upon early diagnosis stages. Machine learning prediction models help healthcare professionals diagnose thyroid diseases at an initial stage and take measures accordingly. This study deployed initial Sixteen ML models, including six boosting algorithms, on a dataset of 9172 instances with related features. The model performances have been judged through various standard performance metrics. The boosting algorithms showed exceptional results, and Cat Boost (CB) model produced the best accuracy of 95.75%. The hyperparameter tuning performed on boosting models by implementing Randomized Search CV increased the accuracy to 96.19% for CB. The stacking ensemble approach was applied on top of the six boosting tuned models with the CB classifier as the meta-learner. At the same time, the other boosting algorithms were kept as a base learner for the final model prediction. The accuracy of the stack model was impressive, with 95.32% compared with default models, the ROC-AUC at 0.95, and the other results were also promising. The model’s standard deviation was significantly less at 0.57, implying the model’s stability and robustness, and the False Negative (FN) rate reached 1.8%.","PeriodicalId":150346,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE 8th International Conference for Convergence in Technology (I2CT)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123849999","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
