Consequently, the ef ect of this ailment is detrimental to not only the patient but also family members, as well as their jobs or school. Many factors, ranging from hereditary conditions to life-altering experiences, can trigger depression, and symptoms vary between individuals. Hence, the disparity of symptoms in diagnosing depression makes it dif icult to identify early on. Fortunately, the prevalence of social media platforms has led to individuals posting updates on various aspects of their lives, particularly their mental health. These platforms now provide valuable data sources for mental health researchers, aiding in the timely diagnosis of depression. In this research, we use sentiment analysis to identify depressed tweets from random tweets. We used six natural language processing frameworks for our classification. They are BERT, XLNet, ALBERT, DeBERTa, RoBERTa, and ELECTRA. Our results show that BERT performs best with an accuracy of 99%, while ALBERT is the model with the lowest accuracy rate at 87%. This research shows that by leveraging NLP frameworks, we can successfully utilize machine learning for the early detection of depression and help diagnose individuals struggling with this ailment.","PeriodicalId":176190,"journal":{"name":"Signal Image Processing and Multimedia","volume":"7 10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122775911","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}

When a user wants to join a channel, they must first send their public key, wallet address, and a digital signature to verify their identity. If the user's identity is successfully verified, the channel’s creator will perform an elliptic Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman key exchange with the user using curve25519,generating a group key for encrypting messages in the channel. The group key is periodically rotated for security purposes. Users can send messages to the channel by encrypting them with the X25519-XSalsa-Poly1305 algorithm, including a Galois Message Authentication Code instead of an index after keys are exchanged, and attaching a digital signature to verify the authenticity of the message. The protocol also includes a \"Termination event\" for handling errors or exceptions that may occur during key exchange or message exchange.","PeriodicalId":176190,"journal":{"name":"Signal Image Processing and Multimedia","volume":"103 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132897984","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}

To address this, an app was proposed to help users monitor their daily nutrient intake and prevent obesity and diabetes [1]. The app uses AI scanning to analyze the nutrient level of food and suggests a suitable daily nutrient intake for the user based on their age and gender. Data storage allows users to track their meal history and create a personalized diet plan [2]. The app was compared to similar systems, and it was found that live scanning is more intuitive and convenient than photo uploading. Additionally, the proposed app was tested in two experiments and was found to be effective in identifying food items and received generally positive feedback from users, but further improvements are necessary to enhance accuracy and user experience. In the first experiment, the accuracy of the AI model for predicting food items was tested using a combination of existing and customized datasets [3]. A total of 227 food items were tested, including bananas, watermelons, peaches, tomatoes, pineapples, rice, fries, hamburgers, eggs, noodles, and other items. The results showed an overall accuracy rate of 82% for all food items tested, with pineapple having the highest accuracy at 100% and peaches having the lowest accuracy at 60%. In the second experiment, 15 participants tested the application's features and provided feedback through a survey.

In them, students are able to collaborate with other like-minded peers and develop their unique hobbies and interests. However, in many of these high schools and especially those of ours, we have observed a lack of motivation and participation associated with poor club organization and communication. Inspired by existing software utilized by these clubs and building upon their features, we have designed and implemented a user-club system intended to help a myriad of clubs in high schools and colleges to manage their club events and membership [4]. Two experiments were conducted to test the effectiveness of two different applications designed to help high school clubs manage their events and membership. For the first experiment, 10 participants tested a user-club system, and for the second experiment, another 10 participants tested an application. Both experiments showed positive results, with participants providing feedback on the applications' functionality and convenience. However, a few participants reported issues, indicating that refinement may be necessary for optimal usability. In the first experiment, most participants reported improvement in their club's participation and member interest, but a few reported little to no improvement, suggesting that the system may not be effective for all types of clubs. Further testing and refinement are necessary for both applications to determine their effectiveness for different types of clubs and user populations.","PeriodicalId":176190,"journal":{"name":"Signal Image Processing and Multimedia","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114434277","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}

My project proposes a solution to this problem as I use Answer Set Programming to create a program to procedurally generate maps for a video game [2]. In order to test its reliability, I allowed it to generate around 10,000 maps, stored the data of each of the maps, and used the common trends I find in the data to find problems with the program and fix it in the future. In developing a video game, level creation consumes a major portion of the development total time and level procedural generation techniques can potentially mitigate this problem. This research focused on developing a VVVVVV style level generator using Answer set programming for the game Mem.experiment which was developed at the same time. VVVVVV is a 2D puzzle platformer that uses changes in direction of gravity instead of jumping for the player's vertical movement [3]. During the development of the level generator, 10,000 levels were created. I found out that the average total time it took between generations is 45 seconds, and the average time for ASP to generate a map is 12 seconds [4]. This means that the process of displaying the generation took between 2x - 3x longer than generating the ASP solution.","PeriodicalId":176190,"journal":{"name":"Signal Image Processing and Multimedia","volume":"219 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124325011","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}
