The approach employs a fitness function to assess the usefulness of each pattern. However, the effectiveness of evolutionary algorithms heavily relies on the chosen strategy parameters during execution. Conventional methods set these parameters arbitrarily, often leading to suboptimal solutions. To address this limitation, the research proposes a method for dynamically adjusting strategy parameters using temporal difference approaches, a machine learning technique called Reinforcement Learning (RL). Specifically, the proposed IPSO RLON algorithm utilizes SARSA learning to intelligently adapt the Crossover Rate and Mutation Rate within the Practical Swarm Optimization Algorithm. This allows IPSO RLON to effectively mine high-utility itemsets from the data.The key benefit of IPSO RLON lies in its adaptive control parameters. This enables it to discover optimal high-utility itemsets when applied to various benchmark datasets. To assess its performance, IPSO RLON is compared to existing approaches like HUPEUMU-GRAM, HUIM-BPSO, IGA RLOFF, and IPSO RLOFF using metrics like execution time, convergence speed, and the percentage of high-utility itemsets mined. From the evaluation it is observed that the proposed IPSO RLON perfroms better than the other methodology.","PeriodicalId":42021,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Next-Generation Computing","volume":"17 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2024-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140980662","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}

Presently, these disorders do not have any remedy, however, if detected at an early stage, therapy can prevent further degeneration. This study aims to detect the early onset of one such neurodegenerative disorder called Alzheimer’s Disease, which is the most prevalent neurological disorder using the proposed Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). These MRI scans are pre-processed by applying various filters, namely, High-Pass Filter, Contrast Stretching, Sharpening Filter, and Anisotropic Diffusion Filter to enhance the Biomarkers in MRI images. A total of 21 models are proposed using different preprocessing and enhancement techniques on transverse and sagittal MRI images. The comparative analysis of the proposed five-layer Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model with Alex Net is presented. The proposed CNN model outperforms AlexNet and achieves an accuracy of 99.40%, with a precision of 0.988, and recall of 1.00, by using an edge enhanced, contrast stretched, anisotropic diffusion filter.

Koringa","doi":"10.47164/ijngc.v15i1.1645","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.47164/ijngc.v15i1.1645","url":null,"abstract":"Building extraction from remote sensing images is the process of automatically identifying and extracting the boundaries of buildings from high-resolution aerial or satellite images. The extracted building footprints can be used for a variety of applications, such as urban planning, disaster management, city development, land management, environmental monitoring, and 3D modeling. The results of building extraction from remote sensing images depend on several factors, such as the quality and resolution of the image and the choice of algorithm.The process of building extraction from remote sensing images typically involves a series of steps, including image pre-processing, feature extraction, and classification. Building extraction from remote sensing images can be challenging due to factors such as varying building sizes and shapes, shadows, and occlusions. However, recent advances in deep learning and computer vision techniques have led to significant improvements in the accuracy and efficiency of building extraction methods. This research presents a deep learning semantic segmentation architecture-based model for developing building detection from high resolution remote sensing images. The open-source Massachusetts dataset is used to train the suggested UNet architecture. The model is optimized using the RMSProp algorithm with a learning rate of 0.0001 for 100 epochs. After 1.52 hours of training on Google Colab the model achieved an 83.55% F1 score, which indicates strong precision and recall.","PeriodicalId":42021,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Next-Generation Computing","volume":"19 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2024-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140979541","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}

A VANET is a self-configure high mobile and dynamic potential wireless ad-hoc network that joins all vehicle nodes in a smart city to provide in-vehicle infotainment services to city administrators and residents. In the smart city, the On-board Unit (OBU) of each vehicle has multiple onboard sensors that are used for data collection from the surrounding environment. One of the main issues in VANET is energy efficiency and balance because the small onboard sensors can’t be quickly recharged once installed on On-board Units (OBUs). Moreover, conserving energy stands out as a crucial challenge in VANET which is primarily contingent on the selection of Cluster Heads (CH) and the adopted packet routing strategy. To address this issue, this paper proposes distance and energy-aware clustering algorithms named SOMNNDP, which use a Self-Organizing Map Neural Network (SOMNN) machine learning technique to perform faster multi-hop data dissemination. Individual Euclidean distances and residual node energy are considered as mobility parameters throughout the cluster routing process to improve and balance the energy consumption among the participating vehicle nodes. This maximizes the lifetime of VANET by ensuring that all intermediate vehicle nodes use energy at approximately the same rate. Simulation findings demonstrate that SOMNNDP improves Quality of Service (QoS) better and consumes 17% and 14% less energy during cluster routing than distance and energy-aware variation of K-Means (KM) and Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) called KMDP and FCMDP respectively.","PeriodicalId":42021,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Next-Generation Computing","volume":"29 22","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2024-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140980153","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}

These deficits detrimentally impact academic performance. Despite limited evidence, home-based interventions targeting both fine motor skills and working memory remain underexplored. Leveraging game-based approaches holds promise in behavior modification, self-management of chronic conditions, therapy adherence, and patient monitoring. In this study, a novel smartphone-based game was meticulously developed to target the enhancement of working memory and fine motor skills in a cohort of thirty-two obese or overweight children. Over two weeks, participants engaged in regular gameplay sessions within the comfort of their homes. Pretest and post-test assessments yielded compelling evidence of significant improvements, with statistical significance established at a robust 95% confidence level. Notably, participants exhibited a progressive trend of improvement in their gameplay performance. Recognizing the profound impact of academic achievement on future socioeconomic trajectories, regardless of weight management outcomes, the importance of bolstering cognitive skills cannot be overstated. This innovative intervention offers a pragmatic and cost-effective solution to empower children to cultivate essential cognitive abilities within their home environment. By fostering the development of working memory and fine motor skills, this intervention holds promise in facilitating improved academic performance and, consequently, enhancing long-term prospects for these children.","PeriodicalId":42021,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Next-Generation Computing","volume":"48 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2024-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140979131","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 existing concept used to consider oracle as a black box in this study opens up the possibility for the quantum industry to develop the QASAM module so that we can create a fully quantum database instead of using a classical database as BlackBox.As the Toffoli gate is basically an effective NAND gate it is possible to run any algorithm theoretically in quantum computers. So we will propose a logical design for memory management for the quantum database, security enhancement model, Quantum Recovery Manager & automatic storage management model, and more for the quantum database which will ensure the quantum advantages. In this study, we will also explain the Quantum Vector Database as well as the possibility of improvement in duality quantum computing.

This work analyzes changes in vegetation health using two vegetation indices, the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Forest Canopy Density (FCD) values of the Sundarbans, from 2014 to 2020. NDVI, comprising two bands, Red and Near-infrared (NIR), shows a declining trend during the period. Two NDVI land cover classification maps for 2014 and 2020 are produced, and the interest area is divided into five classes: Scanty, Low, Medium, and Densely Vegetated Regions and Water Bodies. A single-band linear gradient pseudo-color is used to assess the land cover difference between 2020 and 2014, showing marked changes in densely vegetative areas. The NDVI difference marks the coastal regions with a higher depletion rate of vegetation than the regions away from the seacoasts. FCD has been taken to compare the results of NDVI with it. FCD consists of another four models: AVI (advanced vegetative index), BI (Bare soil index), SSI (scaled shadow index), and TI (thermal index). FCD is also called crown cover or canopy coverage, which refers to the portion of an area in the field covered by the crown of trees. 2014 and 2015 FCD maps are produced with a single band linear gradient pseudocolor with five land cover classifications: bare soil, Bare Soil, Shrubs, Low, Medium, and Highly vegetated regions. Both maps bear a significant resemblance to NDVI land classification maps. Further, the FCD values of the two maps are scaled between 1 and 100, and the area of each class is calculated. To check the veracity of the NDVI and FCD analysis, a Deep Neural Network (DNN) model has been developed to classify each year’s image taken from Google Earth Engine (GEE). It classifies each year’s image with 99% accuracy. The calculation of the area of each class emphasizes the rapid decline of densely wooded vegetation. Almost 80% of the highly forested zone has been diminished and has become part of the medium-forested region. Area inflation in medium-forested regions corroborates the same. The study also analyzes the migration of vegetation density, i.e., where and how many areas are unchanged, growing, or deforested.","PeriodicalId":42021,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Next-Generation Computing","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139218406","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 data hiding strategy takes into account the features of the Human Visual System (HVS) when concealing the secret data in order to prevent detection of the private data even after extensive embedding. The private data bits are adaptively embedded into the picture cell based on its values in the suggested hiding strategy after grouping different pixel intensity ranges. As a result, the proposed approach can preserve the stego-visual image’s quality. According to experimental findings, the proposed interpolation approach achieves PSNRs of over 40 dB for all experimental images. The outcomes further demonstrate that the suggested data concealing strategy outperforms every other interpolation-based data hiding scheme existing in use.","PeriodicalId":42021,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Next-Generation Computing","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139221420","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 system is built by using a unified architecture formed by combining Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Long Short Term Memory (LSTM). In order to hit the shortage of a huge labeled hand gesture dataset, we have created two different CNN by retraining a well known image classification networks GoogLeNet and VGG16 using transfer learning. Frames of gesture videos are transformed into features vectors using these CNNs. As these videos are prearranged series of image frames, LSTM model have been used to join with the fully-connected layer of CNN. We have evaluated the system on three different datasets consisting of color videos with 11, 64 and 8 classes.
