Facial expression recognition (FER) requires better descriptors to represent the face patterns as the facial region changes due to the movement of the face muscles during an expression. In this paper, a method of concatenating spatial pyramid Zernike moments based shape features and Law’s texture features is proposed to uniquely capture the macro and micro details of each facial expression. The proposed method employs multilayer perceptron and radial basis function feed forward artificial neural networks for recognizing the facial expressions. The suitability of the features in recognizing the expressions is explored across the datasets independent of the subjects or persons. The experiments conducted on JAFFE and KDEF datasets demonstrate that the concatenated feature vectors are capable of representing the facial expressions with better accuracy and least errors. The radial basis function based classifier delivers a performance with an average recognition accuracy of 95.86% and 88.87% on the JAFFE and KDEF datasets respectively for subject dependent FER.

In the banking industry, credit card evolution is a noticeable occurrence. Each banking system includes a huge dataset for customer's transactions of their credit cards. Therefore, banks would be in need of customer profiling. Profiling bank customer's cognize the issuer's decisions about whom to give banking facilities and what a credit limit to provide. It also helps the issuers get a better understanding of their potential and current customers. In previous research, Customer profiling mainly depends on transaction data or demographic data, but in this research, we merge both data in order to get a more accurate result and minimize the risk. By finding the best technique, it leads to improvement in accuracy and helps banks to get higher profitability by customer satisfaction through a focus on the valuable customer (companies) which consider as the main engine in the bank's profitability. This study aims at using k-mean, improved k-mean, fuzzy c-means and neural networks. The used dataset is labeled and creating a ýnew label as a target for neural network classification is the main aspect of this study, which helps to reduce the clustering execution time and get the best accuracy results. Finally, by comparing the accuracy ratio it shows that the neural network ýis the best clustering technique.

In this paper, an Advanced Quantum-based Neural Network Classifier (AQNN) is proposed. The proposed AQNN is used to form an objectionable Web content filtering system (OWF). The aim is to design a neural network with a few numbers of hidden layer neurons with the optimal connection weights and the threshold of neurons. The proposed algorithm uses the concept of quantum computing and genetic concept to evolve connection weights and the threshold of neurons. Quantum computing uses qubit as a probabilistic representation which is the smallest unit of information in the quantum computing concept. In this algorithm, a threshold boundary parameter is also introduced to find the optimal value of the threshold of neurons. The proposed algorithm forms neural network architecture which is used to form an objectionable Web content filtering system which detects objectionable Web request by the user. To judge the performance of the proposed AQNN, a total of 2000 (1000 objectionable + 1000 non-objectionable) Website's contents have been used. The results of AQNN are also compared with QNN-F and well-known classifiers as backpropagation, support vector machine (SVM), multilayer perceptron, decision tree algorithm, and artificial neural network. The results show that the AQNN as classifier performs better than existing classifiers. The performance of the proposed objectionable Web content filtering system (OWF) is also compared with well-known objectionable Web filtering software and existing models. It is found that the proposed OWF performs better than existing solutions in terms of filtering objectionable content.
