However, existing studies exhibit significant limitations. Achieving consistent high performance in recognition across varying camera distances and diverse real-world conditions remain a formidable challenge. Current approaches often struggle to accurately recognize items in scenarios involving occlusions, variable distortions, and complex backgrounds, thereby limiting their practical applicability in household environments. This study addresses these deficiencies by enhancing the Feature Pyramid Network (FPN) of YOLACT with an additional layer designed to capture nuanced information. Furthermore, we propose a two-stage data augmentation method that simulates diverse conditions including distortion and occlusion, to generate images that reflect various backgrounds and handheld scenarios. Comparative analyses with previous research and evaluations on our original dataset demonstrate that our approach significantly improves recognition rates for both typical and challenging real-world images. These enhancements contribute to more effective food waste management in households and indicate broader applications for automatic identification systems.</p>","PeriodicalId":33315,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence","volume":"7 ","pages":"1442948"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11652515/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142855724","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}

Using data from 500 students, captured through cameras, microphones, and biometric sensors and pre-processed with advanced techniques such as histogram equalization and noise reduction, the deep reinforcement learning model was trained and validated to improve the detection accuracy of emotions and the personalization of learning. The results showed a significant improvement in the accuracy of emotion detection, going from 72.4% before the implementation of the system to 89.3% after.

A qualitative research approach was applied using in-depth interviews with 17 board of directors from prominent Saudi Arabian banks. The present study highlights both the opportunities and challenges of integrating artificial intelligence and machine learning advanced technologies in this highly regulated industry. Findings reveal that advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies offer substantial benefits, particularly in areas like threat detection, fraud prevention, and process automation, enabling banks to meet regulatory standards and mitigate cyber threats efficiently. However, the research also identifies significant barriers, including limited technological infrastructure, a lack of cohesive artificial intelligence strategies, and ethical concerns around data privacy and algorithmic bias. Interviewees emphasized the board of directors' critical role in providing strategic direction, securing resources, and fostering partnerships with artificial intelligence technology providers. The study further highlights the importance of aligning artificial intelligence and machine learning initiatives with national development goals, such as Saudi Vision 2030, to ensure sustained growth and competitiveness.
