A graph of objects is created in the proposed methodology nodes are represented by the objects extracted from frames by using R-CNN (Regional-Convolutional Neural Network) and the spatio-temporal information associated among them are assigned as an edge. In order to address the occlusion, missing trajectories of objects are reconstructed by applying a Set Cover Optimization [1][2] Greedy Approach.

Traditional in-silico screening approaches struggle to capture the quantum mechanical interactions that determine molecular behavior. To overcome these limitations, this study introduces a hybrid quantum–classical machine learning framework that uniquely integrates molecular graph theory with quantum-enhanced learning for accelerated drug discovery. Using the QM9 benchmark dataset containing 133,885 molecules of low-to-medium structural complexity, we extract Laplacian eigenvalue spectra as topological descriptors that preserve both connectivity and electronic information. These features are jointly processed by Random Forest (RF), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and a Variational Quantum Classifier (VQC) in a weighted ensemble architecture designed for balanced generalization. The Quantum Graph Neural Network (QGNN) component achieves 97.5% accuracy, while the hybrid ensemble attains 100.0% accuracy, confirming strong predictive reliability. Although quantum training requires roughly 3.2× longer computation, it captures high-dimensional correlations that classical methods overlook. Overall, the proposed framework bridges the gap between theoretical quantum computing and practical pharmaceutical modeling, providing a scalable, physics-inspired pathway toward intelligent molecular screening and next-generation drug discovery systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20465,"journal":{"name":"Procedia Computer Science","volume":"282 ","pages":"Pages 419-428"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148531416","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}

By concentrating mostly on visual or temporal aspects, traditional video summary approaches frequently ignore the emotional cues that influence human perception. A multimodal emotion-based video summarizing framework that highlights and records emotionally charged moments in text, audio, and visual modalities is proposed in this research. We use OpenAI’s Whisper to convert speech to text and FFmpeg to extract audio. FLAN-T5, a transformer-based language model, is used to summarize the transcribed material. At the same time, Swin Transformer is used for speech emotion analysis of audio and Vision Transformer (ViT) for facial emotion detection to elicit emotional indicators. Our methodology not only identifies but also selects the most emotionally charged video clips that summarizes the emotional data from both voice and facial expression. In addition to being brief, the summary captures the emotion story of the original source material, making it easier for the viewer to comprehend and connect. Experiments show that our approach will produce summaries that closely resemble human emotional experience. Utilizing the design of FeelFrames could allow for an adaptable and scalable option to be presented in future sports analytics systems.

Within the MMCFPP, a car parking area offers a potential installation space of 746.46 m² for a Solar Power Plant (PLTS), benefiting from an irradiation potential of 2,907 kWh/m². Therefore, constructing a PLTS on the car park roof is highly feasible. Research is underway to plan the development of this parking area PLTS, aiming to contribute to renewable energy utilization and the reduction of carbon gas emissions. This study employs the 2006 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Guideline for calculating Greenhouse Gas emissions. The proposed PLTS development at the MMCFPP was analysed through empirical studies and an economic investment feasibility assessment using the Capital Budgeting method. The planning results indicate that a 162.25 kWp Rooftop Parking Area PLTS can generate 172,150 kWh of electrical energy annually, utilizing 275 solar modules arranged in 3 series. The estimated potential reduction in carbon dioxide emissions with this PLTS installation is 12,025.8 tons of CO₂e per year. This would result in a 0.24% surplus relative to the total carbon emissions of 4,958,861.82 tons of CO₂e produced by the MMCFPP 2x660 MW during the initial phase of carbon tax trading implementation in the power generation sector.
