Cotton is one of the important cash crops in India grown on more than 9 million hectors. Like other crops this also suffers from diseases but the effect on the yield affects many livelihoods. Thus, it is necessary to detect the disease in early phase so that cure can be taken. This paper proposes a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model for detecting diseases in cotton plants. The model implements in proposed work utilize transfer learning technique, leveraging pre-trained model that have been trained on extensive datasets. Specifically, the Resnet152v2 model serves as foundational architecture for the model, enabling accurate classification of distinct objects. In addition to Resnet152V2 base, the proposed work incorporates two supplementary dense neural network layers. These additional layers enhance the model capacity to learn complex pattern and improve its classification capabilities. With integration of transfer learning and inclusion of supplementary dense network layer, the model demonstrates its ability to effectively classify objects. In addition to Resnet152a 98.36% accuracy in distinguishing between healthy and diseased cotton plants. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Sign language is a crucial mode of communication for individuals who are deaf or hard-of-hearing, and a reliable sign language recognition system can greatly aid in bridging the communication gap. According to statistics provided by the Government of India, there are only around 250 accredited sign language interpreters in India, servicing a deaf population of 1.8 million to 7 million individuals. This paper presents a real-time sign language recognition system for Indian Sign Language (ISL) using YOLOv8 for object detection. The system uses a single convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture to process the entire image in one forward pass and predict the bounding boxes and class probabilities for each sign in the image. The results of the study demonstrate the feasibility and potential of the system in revolutionizing communication for the deaf and hard of hearing community and have applications in gesture-controlled robotics, home automation, game control, human-computer interaction, and sign language interpretation.

After a deep questioner among students, faculty members and higher education experts. The demand for qualified engineers in the specific field as understandably gone down. The situation is grimmer for tier-2 and tier-3 colleges in India. The purpose of opting engineering course is not to get expertise in the particular course, instead to get a job in government sector with valid degree. The problem identified in the field of engineering education towards improving the quality in education is addressed with the help of exploratory data analysis. The dataset used in our experiment is collect from UCI machine Learning Repository having 33 variables and 1044 observations. The contribution made in the paper is to identify the vital attributes using single and multi-variant regression techniques. To perform prediction using Decision Tree, Random Forest, Support vector Machine and compare their performance in terms of classification accuracy and F-Score. In addition to that a convolution Neural Network (CNN) model is established in which, the vital attributes identified using regression techniques are provided as inputs and weights at each stage is estimated using Gradient Decent algorithm with step size 0.5. The classification accuracy from 63% is improved to 97% with the help of CNN model in 26664 iterations. The finding of the present research states that student having backlogs are less frequently opting for higher studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The deaths caused by road accidents are one of India's most pressing issues. The inattentiveness of the driver is responsible for almost 80% of all collisions. Mobile phone use, conversing with passengers, reaching behind the wheel to grab something, and drinking while driving are just a few of the factors that can cause a driver to become distracted. This project aims to create a reliable and effective system for detecting and classifying distracted drivers. The efficacy of CNNs in the field of computer vision was the inspiration for this paper, which proposes a paradigm based on Convolutional Neural Network which not only senses but also recognizes the driver who is distracted. For this purpose it is using a publicly available dataset from the Kaggle website as an input for this model. There are several different forms of distractions, but this study focuses on the manual distraction, which is focused on the driver's stance. The goal of this work is to keep an eye on the driver's actions and seek for diversion signs. Distractions are divided into two groups in the model: safe driving and unsafe or distracted driving. For this purpose, various architectures of CNN can be used. This work, however, employs sequential architecture and achieved the highest observed accuracy of 99% with a total of 9.5M trainable parameters. The primary goal of this research is to classify a test image into two states of the driver that have been considered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
