- Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative disorders that affect the quality of human life of millions of people throughout the world. The probability of getting affected by this disease increases with age, and it is common among the elderly population. Early detection can help in initiating medications at an earlier stage. It can significantly slow down the progression of this disease, assisting the patient to maintain a good quality of life for a more extended period. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based brain imaging is an area of active research that is used to diagnose PD disease early and to understand the key biomarkers. The prior research investigations using MRI data mainly focus on volume, structural, and morphological changes in the basal ganglia (BG) region for diagnosing PD. Recently, researchers have emphasized the significance of studying other areas of the human brain for a more comprehensive understanding of PD and also to analyze changes happening in brain tissue. Thus, to perform accurate diagnosis and treatment planning for early identification of PD, this work focuses on learning the onset of PD from images taken from whole-brain MRI using a novel 3D-convolutional neural network (3D-CNN) deep learning architecture. The conventional 3D-Resent deep learning model, after various hyper-parameter tuning and architectural changes, has achieved an accuracy of 90%. In this work, a novel 3D-CNN architecture was developed, and after several ablation studies, the model yielded results with an improved accuracy of 93.4%. Combining features from the 3D-CNN and 3D ResNet models using Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA) resulted in 95% accuracy. For further enhancements of the model performance, feature fusion with optimization was employed, utilizing various optimization techniques. Whale optimization based on a biologically inspired approach was selected on the basis of a convergence diagram. The performance of this approach is compared to other methods and has given an accuracy of 97%. This work represents a critical advancement in improving PD diagnosis techniques and emphasizing the importance of deep nested 3D learning and bio-inspired feature selection., (© 2024.

- Abstract
Household electricity consumption (HEC) is changing over time, depends on multiple factors, and leads to effects on the prediction accuracy of the model. The objective of this work is to propose a novel methodology for improving HEC prediction accuracy. This study uses two original datasets, namely questionnaire survey (QS) and monthly consumption (MC), which contain data from 225 consumers from Maharashtra, India. The original datasets are combined to create three additional datasets, namely QS + MC, QS equation (QsEq) + next month's consumptions, and QsEq + MC. Furthermore, the HEC prediction accuracy is boosted by applying different approaches, like correlation methods, feature engineering techniques, data quality assessment, heterogeneous ensemble prediction (HEP), and the hybrid model. Five HEP models are created using dataset combinations and machine learning algorithms. Based on the MC dataset, the random forest provides the best prediction of RMSE (36.18 kWh), MAE (25.73 kWh), and R
2 (0.76). Similarly, QsEq + MC dataset adaptive boosting provides a better prediction of RMSE (36.77 kWh), MAE (26.18 kWh), and R2 (0.76). This prediction accuracy is further increased using the proposed hybrid model to RMSE (22.02 kWh), MAE (13.04 kWh), and R2 (0.92). This research work benefits researchers, policymakers, and utility companies in obtaining accurate prediction models and understanding HEC., (© 2024. The Author(s).)- Published

- Abstract
Defect detection in pharmaceutical blister packages is the most challenging task to get an accurate result in detecting defects that arise in tablets while manufacturing. Conventional defect detection methods include human intervention to check the quality of tablets within the blister packages, which is inefficient, time-consuming, and increases labor costs. To mitigate this issue, the YOLO family is primarily used in many industries for real-time defect detection in continuous production. To enhance the feature extraction capability and reduce the computational overhead in a real-time environment, the CBS-YOLOv8 is proposed by enhancing the YOLOv8 model. In the proposed CBS-YOLOv8, coordinate attention is introduced to improve the feature extraction capability by capturing the spatial and cross-channel information and also maintaining the long-range dependencies. The BiFPN (weighted bi-directional feature pyramid network) is also introduced in YOLOv8 to enhance the feature fusion at each convolution layer to avoid more precise information loss. The model's efficiency is enhanced through the implementation of SimSPPF (simple spatial pyramid pooling fast), which reduces computational demands and model complexity, resulting in improved speed. A custom dataset containing defective tablet images is used to train the proposed model. The performance of the CBS-YOLOv8 model is then evaluated by comparing it with various other models. Experimental results on the custom dataset reveal that the CBS-YOLOv8 model achieves a mAP of 97.4% and an inference speed of 79.25 FPS, outperforming other models. The proposed model is also evaluated on SESOVERA-ST saline bottle fill level monitoring dataset achieved the mAP50 of 99.3%. This demonstrates that CBS-YOLOv8 provides an optimized inspection process, enabling prompt detection and correction of defects, thus bolstering quality assurance practices in manufacturing settings., (© 2024.

- Abstract
This paper proposes a knowledge-based decision-making system for energy bill assessment and competitive energy consumption analysis for energy savings. As humans have a tendency toward comparison between peers and self-groups, the same concept of competitive behavior is utilized to design knowledge-based decision-making systems. A total of 225 house monthly energy consumption datasets are collected for Maharashtra state, along with a questionnaire-based survey that includes socio-demographic information, household appliances, family size, and some other parameters. After data collection, the pre-processing technique is applied for data normalization, and correlation technique-based key features are extracted. These features are used to classify different house categories based on consumption. A knowledge-based system is designed based on historical datasets for future energy consumption prediction and comparison with actual usage. These comparative studies provide a path for knowledgebase system design to generate monthly energy utilization reports for significant behavior changes for energy savings. Further, Linear Programming and Genetic Algorithms are used to optimize energy consumption for different household categories based on socio-demographic constraints. This will also benefit the consumers with an electricity bill evaluation range (i.e., normal, high, or very high) and find the energy conservation potential (kWh) as well as a cost-saving solution to solve real-world complex electricity conservation problem., (© 2024.
