It is a very important and challenging task to notice the regions of a person’s attributes. Existing methods are applied to primary convolutional neural networks to localize the region related to person attribute. In this paper we adopted a co-scale Conv-Attentional image transformer to decipher the most discriminative attribute and region at multiple levels.Serial and parallel building blocks are introduced wherein serial blocks consists of conv-attention and feed forward network and parallel blocks have two strategies which are attention with feature interpolation and direct cross layer attention. From our results we observe that hybrid transformers are better than pure transformers. Extensive experimental result shows that proposed hybrid method outperforms the existing methods on four different personal attribute datasets i.e., RapV2, RapVl, PETA, PA100K.","PeriodicalId":264177,"journal":{"name":"2022 International Conference on Distributed Computing, VLSI, Electrical Circuits and Robotics ( DISCOVER)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117333833","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}

The signal conditioning is performed and an adaptive FIR filter that uses the least mean squared (LMS) algorithm is designed and deployed for the system identification application. Upon careful examination of the experimental results, the error signal is found to provide the pulse event information. This is due to the sudden change in the pulse activity that causes the error signal to exhibit impulse train like characteristics.

DME can indeed be diagnosed in varying levels of severity by employing Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), which is a standard imaging modality to capture the 3D view of the retina. Computerized detection of DME is beneficial, and automated identification can assist doctors in their daily activities. Deep Learning (DL), a widely recognized method in this regard, has contributed to improving the effectiveness of classification algorithms. The focus of this research is to use a standard OCT dataset to test and analyze two DL models, Optic Net and DenseNet for DME classification. A statistical analysis of the accuracy measures collected during the experiments is performed to evaluate the performance of the two models. The statistical findings suggest that the model Optic Net (Accuracy-98%, Specificity-100%) outperforms DenseNet (Accuracy-94%, Specificity-96%) in terms of accuracy, and the results could be used to choose an optimal model for DME detection.","PeriodicalId":264177,"journal":{"name":"2022 International Conference on Distributed Computing, VLSI, Electrical Circuits and Robotics ( DISCOVER)","volume":"122 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124416697","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}

In this study, Electroencephalogram (EEGs) has been used to interpret the covert speech of a person. On the other hand, reading the brain with EEG is a complicated task to use in daily life applications as it needs multichannel spatial information to be extracted by connecting leads all over the scalp. In the direction of overcoming this complexity, this study uses only single-channel EEG Fpz, which is much easier to access than channels. In this study, Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), K-nearest neighbour Classifier (KNN), Support Vector Classifier (SVC), and Random Forest (RF) models are proposed to classify a single channel Fpz of EEG by extracting spectral information in form of wavelet decomposition coefficients and an energy level over Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta and Theta bands to show the evidence that covert speech can be derived through single channel EEG with basics classifiers.","PeriodicalId":264177,"journal":{"name":"2022 International Conference on Distributed Computing, VLSI, Electrical Circuits and Robotics ( DISCOVER)","volume":"078 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124067743","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}

This paper proposes a simple synchronous NoC router and Argo asynchronous NoC router with low complexity and good performance for effective communication within the SoC. The high speed and low latency are achieved by providing a routing function for each input port with HPU blocks to decode the routing information and forward this to XBAR which in turn gives a high level of parallelism and guides the information to reach the proper destination. The proposed system verifies the effectiveness of the parameters like maximum fan-out, maximum frequency, and ALMs. The results obtained shows that there is a significant decrease in the maximum fan-out, maximum frequency and increase in ALMs for asynchronous router in comparison with synchronous router.","PeriodicalId":264177,"journal":{"name":"2022 International Conference on Distributed Computing, VLSI, Electrical Circuits and Robotics ( DISCOVER)","volume":"1 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129816563","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}

Helping to limit the number of misdiagnoses can save many lives and strengthen families, as some families would lose their primary source of income as a result of misdiagnosis. Misdiagnosis is one of the significant errors in the medical field due to misjudgments by medical professionals eading to increased harm to patients. With 72 percent of errors occurring during the patient-practitioner encounter, it becomes increasingly important to reduce the error in real time. Lowering the mortality rate as a result of misdiagnosis would enhance and build the social well-being of the country. The area of general medicine is very vast and has more than 400 diseases and conditions under it. However, with differing and misleading symptoms for the diseases, it becomes rather confusing for a recent medical graduate to diagnose an individual within the limiting time frame for testing the patient. The developed solution is an artificial intelligence-based system that uses traditional machine learning algorithms and deep learning techniques to help new medical graduates and practitioners with limited experience reliably diagnose a patient’s medical condition based on the patient’s symptoms recorded during the clinical confrontation. The proposed solution is an AI-enabled Clinical Decision Support System in the form of a web application intended to assist medical graduates and healthcare professionals in accurately diagnosing a patient’s health condition based on the symptoms observed during doctor-patient encounters. The developed system has achieved the highest accuracy by using the Ensemble technique which is a combination of Support Vector Classifier, Random Forest, and Naive Bayes technique for textual data analysis and ResNet architecture for analyzing image data.","PeriodicalId":264177,"journal":{"name":"2022 International Conference on Distributed Computing, VLSI, Electrical Circuits and Robotics ( DISCOVER)","volume":"53 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130682113","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}

The Physionet database comprises gait signals of PD subjects belonging to various H&Y score-based severity levels but forms an imbalanced dataset. A dataset is said to be imbalanced if the representation of the classification categories within a dataset is not equal. The severity of misclassifying abnormal cases as normal is high and thus is a matter of concern. This paper shows how a technique called Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE) deals with the class imbalance problem in PD stage-wise classification by improving minority class recognition. The method is validated by quantifying the dissimilarity among samples generated showing the non-existence of overlapping or replication. Spatiotemporal gait parameters along with their regularity and symmetry features are the attributes considered. Classifiers are trained with balanced & imbalanced datasets and their predictive accuracy attributes are compared. Results show an improvement in determining the minority class by the model trained with the balanced dataset, thus improving the generalizability of the model.","PeriodicalId":264177,"journal":{"name":"2022 International Conference on Distributed Computing, VLSI, Electrical Circuits and Robotics ( DISCOVER)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130222600","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}

In this proposed research work, Progressive Growing Generative Adversarial Networks (PGGANs) are used to generate synthetic Vertebral Column Fracture (VCF) CT images. The synthetic CT images of VCF generated by PGGANs are high resolution, realistic yet wholly different from the real images. The PGGANs is a multi-stage generative model that generates 512 X 512 CT images that increases the accuracy of the VCF Type identification system. A total of375 vertebral column CT images were utilized for training the model, which were collected from the Spine Clinic, Orthopaedics Department, Kasturba Medical College, Manipal, Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Manipal. Among 375 images, 275 Chance fractures and 100 posterior tension band disruption fracture images were present. To analyse the effect of PGGAN augmentation on VCF type identification, lately VGG16 pre-trained model is implemented. The VGG16 model with PGGAN augmentation got an accuracy of 87.01%, which is more when compared to the model without augmentation. In conclusion, PGGAN generated VCF images are realistic and can be used for data augmentation without privacy restrictions and in VCF type identification DL models for increased performance.","PeriodicalId":264177,"journal":{"name":"2022 International Conference on Distributed Computing, VLSI, Electrical Circuits and Robotics ( DISCOVER)","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131327295","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}
