It can be done by analyzing human motion behavior data extracted from different smartphone-embedded sensors. Recognizing human activity has become widely popular and particularly attracted many researchers in different industries. Activity recognition has become increasingly important in many areas, especially for the recognition of fitness, sports, and health monitoring. This paper propose a robust model that is trained and tested on remotely extracted data from the smartphone-embedded inertial sensor. Initially, the system clean the input data and then performs windowing and segmentation. After pre-processing, a number of features are extracted. Further, the Lukasiewicz similarity measure (LS) based features selection is used to reduce the features set by removing the least important features. In the next step, the Yeo-Johnson power transformation method is utilized to optimize the selected features. The optimized features set is then forwarded to the multi-class support vector machines (SVM) classifier. The system was designed and experimented with over a well-known dataset named WISDM. The presented model performed well by achieving a mean accuracy rate of 94%.","PeriodicalId":404424,"journal":{"name":"2022 24th International Multitopic Conference (INMIC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128981881","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}

Accurate load forecasting is beneficial for making various operational decisions such as energy generation, reliability analysis, and dispatch scheduling of generated energy. However, short-term load fore-casting is difficult due to the complexity posed by the nature of load time series as it expresses multiple seasonality and nonlinear trend. In this paper, we propose an extension of a novel hybrid hierarchical deep learning-based forecast model which incorporates multiple seasonality. The original groundbreaking hybrid forecasting model is developed by Smyl. The model presented in this paper is based on a dilated recurrent neural network with a context vector by integrating exponential smoothing (EScdRNN). Exponential smoothing performs the adaptive time series processing whereas dilated recurrent neural network using context vector helps in cross-learning. This helps in the selection of useful input information which leads to improved accuracy. The results of the proposed methodology are compared with different statistical machine learning methods which show the potential of our proposed approach in terms of increased accuracy.","PeriodicalId":404424,"journal":{"name":"2022 24th International Multitopic Conference (INMIC)","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127666544","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 objective of this study is to design a “diabetes-centered cost-effective therapeutic device” based on the principle of reflexology. The proposed device aims to monitor the patient's health condition, avoid distal part amputation through improved oxygen saturation in the blood by providing vibrational therapy, and lessen the dependency of patients on medication.

Polyps segmentation provides the early-stage diagnosis of polyps which may lead to colon cancer in the GI tract. Deep learning models such as U-Net can segment polyps with good performance. But individual deep learning models may suffer from generalization problems. Deep ensemble learning combines the power of both deep and ensemble learning so that the final combined model has better generalization ability. In this paper, a bagging based U-Net architecture (BaggedUNet) is proposed to improve the polyps segmentation in GI-Tract. Our proposed BaggedUNet model trains several lighter U-Net architectures. Decisions from various models are then combined using majority voting. The proposed method is compared with recent deep learning architectures: U-Net and ResUNet++. The evaluation of models is performed using quantitative metrics including Dice coefficient and mean Intersection over Union (mIoU). The proposed BaggedUNet architecture was able to achieve 3 %-9 % improvement on different evaluation metrics on two publicly available datasets for polyps segmentation.","PeriodicalId":404424,"journal":{"name":"2022 24th International Multitopic Conference (INMIC)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132074933","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}

Knowledge distilling techniques and keeping subset of data from the old classes have been proposed to revamp models to accommodate new classes. These techniques allow models to sustain their knowledge without forgetting everything they already know but somewhat alleviate the catastrophic forgetting problem. In this study we propose class incremental learning using bi-distillation (CILBD) method that effectively learn not only the classes of the new data but also previously learned classes. The proposed architecture uses knowledge distillation in such a way that the student model directly learns knowledge from two teacher model and thus alleviate the forgetting of the old class.

Since people in Pakistan mostly write tweets and reviews in Roman Urdu, the dataset we focused on in this research was comprised of Roman Urdu Tweets and Google Map reviews. From the literature, we observed that not much effort has been done on Roman Urdu tweets and reviews because of its being a low resource language. In terms of methodology, we applied LDA, LSA, and BERT for topic modeling; Vadar combined with TextBlob and DistilBert for sentiment analysis; and K-Means for identifying user clusters with similar interests. In our experiments, we used 15000 tweets and 6000 Google reviews. We were able to create five distinct clusters for each brand. These clusters were further used to track the users based on their interests. We evaluated the performance of our approach and validated it empirically based on Cohen's Kappa score, and achieved a score of 0.45 that shows moderate agreement between human and machine.","PeriodicalId":404424,"journal":{"name":"2022 24th International Multitopic Conference (INMIC)","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126404144","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 study concludes that although students' individual entrepreneurial orientation significantly enhances the attitude toward starting a new venture, it also reduces the belief to control the newly started venture.

Traffic of two priorities (urgent and normal) has been used for simulations over 30 nodes in a single-hop environment. Maximum and average delay of both protocols have been compared.
