Different machine learning approaches, such as support vector machine (SVM), neural network, and linear discrimination analysis (LDA), have been applied to set up automatic subjective-classifier, and the findings for their capacities in this regard have been inconclusive. The present study developed an effective classifier for human mental status using deep learning in a convolutional neural network. In contrast to most previous studies commonly using EEG waveform or numeric value of brain signals for classification, the authors utilised imaging features generated from EEG data at alpha frequency band. A new model proposed in this study provides a simple and computationally efficient approach to distinguish mental status during resting. With training, this model could predict new 2D EEG images with above 90% accuracy, while traditional machine learning techniques failed to achieve this accuracy.","PeriodicalId":344690,"journal":{"name":"Int.

In this new era of the 21st century, a virtual assistant (IVA) is a boon for everyone. It has opened the way for a new world where devices can interact their own. The human voice is integrated with every device making it intelligent. These IVAs can also be used to integrate it with business intelligence software such as Tableau and PowerBI to give dashboards the power of voice and text insights using NLG (natural language generation). This new technology attracted almost the entire world like smart phones, laptops, computers, smart meeting rooms, car InfoTech system, TV, etc. in many ways. Some of the popular voice assistants are like Mibot, Siri, Google Assistant, Cortana, Bixby, and Amazon Alexa. Voice recognition, contextual understanding, and human interaction are some of the issues that are continuously improving in these IVAs and shifting this paradigm towards AI research. This research aims at processing human natural voice and gives a meaningful response to the user. The questions that it is not able to answer are stored in a database for further investigation.","PeriodicalId":344690,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Secur. Priv.

Generally, women around 45 years old are vulnerable from this disease. Early detection is hope for patients to survive otherwise it may reach to unrecoverable stage. Currently, there are numerous techniques available for diagnosis of such a disease out of which mammography is the most trustworthy method for detecting early cancer stage. The analysis of these mammogram images are difficult to analyze due to low contrast and nonuniform background. The mammogram images are scanned and digitized for processing that further reduces the contrast between Region of Interest and background. Presence of noise, glands and muscles leads to background contrast variations. Boundaries of suspected tumor area are fuzzy & improper. Aim of paper is to develop robust edge detection technique which works optimally on mammogram images to segment tumor area. Output results of proposed technique on different mammogram images of MIAS database are presented and compared with existing techniques in terms of both Qualitative & Quantitative parameters.","PeriodicalId":344690,"journal":{"name":"Int.

Tracking drones based on GPS has had some issues with missed received information or received information with an error that can lead to lost tracking. The proposed algorithm, Markov chain Monte Carlo based particle filter (MCMC-PF) can be used to overcome these issues of error in received information with keeping tracks and provides continuous tracking with a higher accuracy. This is suitable for real time applications that deal with GPS receiver devices with low efficiency during tracking. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness and better performance when compared to conventional algorithms of the Kalman filter (KF).","PeriodicalId":344690,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Secur.
