Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Special Issue aims to present the latest research advancements and challenges in the field of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AIML). The focus is on exploring new AIML and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) based architectures and techniques for improving their performance and efficiency, as well as case studies and practical applications in various domains such as computer vision, pattern recognition, speech recognition, natural language processing, and others. Deep learning models have become more robust to variations in input data, such as changes in lighting or viewpoint. Researchers have developed new architectures for deep learning models, such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) that have proven to be highly effective in a variety of AIML and Deep Learning-based tasks. Researchers have developed techniques to transfer the knowledge learned by deep learning models from one task to another task, which has enabled the development of models that can recognize patterns in a wide range of domains. Despite these advancements, there are still several key challenges that need to be addressed in the field of AIML and Deep Learning. Some of these challenges include generalization, interpretability, adversarial examples, privacy and security, and complexity. Overall, the field of AIML and Deep Learning is constantly evolving with new research and advancements, and these challenges will continue to be the focus of research in the years to come.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Image recognition tasks such as object detection, image classification, and semantic segmentation using deep learning;
  • Video recognition such as action recognition, activity recognition, and video captioning using deep learning;
  • Audio recognition such as speech recognition, speaker identification, and music classification, using deep learning;
  • Transfer learning techniques to transfer the knowledge learned by deep learning models from one task to another task, which can be used to improve performance or reduce the need for labeled data;
  • Explainable AI techniques to make deep learning models more interpretable, such as feature visualization and attention mechanisms;
  • Edge computing techniques to deploy deep learning models on resource-constrained devices, such as smartphones, IoT devices, and embedded systems;
  • Designing of Geographical Information Systems using Machine Learning techniques;
  • Design and implementation of CNN-based cloud network traffic estimation;
  • Designing of CNN-based architectures for Disease Recognition for human body, flora, and fauna (vegetables, fruits, flowers, fishes, chicken);
  • Freshness gradient design by AIML techniques for various fruits, vegetables, or any eatables.

The rise of intelligent systems demands good machine translation models that are less data hungry and more efficient, especially for low- and extremely-low-resource languages with few or no data available. By integrating a linguistic feature to enhance the quality of translation, we have developed a generic Neural Machine Translation (NMT) model for Kannada–Tulu language pairs. The NMT model uses Transformer architecture and a state-of-the-art model for translating text from Kannada to Tulu and learns based on the parallel data. Kannada and Tulu are both low-resource Dravidian languages, with Tulu recognised as an extremely-low-resource language. Dravidian languages are morphologically rich and are highly agglutinative in nature and there exist only a few NMT models for Kannada–Tulu language pairs. They exhibit poor translation scores as they fail to capture the linguistic features of the language. The proposed generic approach can benefit other low-resource Indic languages that have smaller parallel corpora for NMT tasks. Evaluation metrics like Bilingual Evaluation Understudy (BLEU), character-level F-score (chrF) and Word Error Rate (WER) are considered to obtain the improved translation scores for the linguistic-feature-embedded NMT model. These results hold promise for further experimentation with other low- and extremely-low-resource language pairs. Full article

Breast cancer poses the greatest long-term health risk to women worldwide, in both industrialized and developing nations. Early detection of breast cancer allows for treatment to begin before the disease has a chance to spread to other parts of the body. The Internet of Things (IoT) allows for automated analysis and classification of medical pictures, allowing for quicker and more effective data processing. Nevertheless, Fog computing principles should be used instead of Cloud computing concepts alone to provide rapid responses while still meeting the requirements for low latency, energy consumption, security, and privacy. In this paper, we present CanDiag, an approach to cancer diagnosis based on Transfer Deep Learning (TDL) that makes use of Fog computing. This paper details an automated, real-time approach to diagnosing breast cancer using deep learning (DL) and mammography pictures from the Mammographic Image Analysis Society (MIAS) library. To obtain better prediction results, transfer learning (TL) techniques such as GoogleNet, ResNet50, ResNet101, InceptionV3, AlexNet, VGG16, and VGG19 were combined with the well-known DL approach of the convolutional neural network (CNN). The feature reduction technique principal component analysis (PCA) and the classifier support vector machine (SVM) were also applied with these TDLs. Detailed simulations were run to assess seven performance and seven network metrics to prove the viability of the proposed approach. This study on an enormous dataset of mammography images categorized as normal and abnormal, respectively, achieved an accuracy, MCR, precision, sensitivity, specificity, f1-score, and MCC of 99.01%, 0.99%, 98.89%, 99.86%, 95.85%, 99.37%, and 97.02%, outperforming some previous studies based on mammography images. It can be shown from the trials that the inclusion of the Fog computing concepts empowers the system by reducing the load on centralized servers, increasing productivity, and maintaining the security and integrity of patient data.
