Plant leaf diseases are challenging to categorize due to the complexity of the pattern variations and the high degrees of inter‐class similarity. Plant ailments harm food quality and production. To ensure the quality and quantity of harvests, it is essential to protect plants from disease. Detection of diseases at an early stage is the main and the most complex task for farmers due to common morphological properties like colour, shape, texture, and edges. In this study, a Hybrid Deep Learning model named Hybrid‐Convolutional Support Machine (H‐CSM) based on 'Support Vector Machine (SVM)', 'Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)' and 'Convolutional Block Attention Module (CBAM)' is proposed for the early diagnosis and classification of leaf diseases in plants leaf. The suggested model can initially identify different plant leaf illnesses, although it is not constrained to these. A database of pictures of plant leaves is used to test the suggested method based on different evaluation parameters. The results were highly promising, with an accuracy of up to 98.72% which has been increased by applying better learning methods. Farmers can quickly identify 36 common diseases with a little instruction for 14 plant categories, enabling them to take prompt preventive measures using the proposed method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Cephalometric analysis has an important and essential role to treat the patients with craniofacial and dentofacial deformities. Cephalometric analysis is a relationship of human geometry which can be quantified and derived from the linear and angular measurements. To treat any patient, such analysis is required to be performed on the Head X‐ray image of the patient. The objective of the proposed work is to detect cephalometric landmarks automatically on CT (computational tomography) images. Twenty cephalometric landmarks were automatically localized on 100 CT scans using hybrid coarse‐to‐fine computational method. The mean error for landmark detection was computed as 2.88 mm and standard deviation of 1.85 mm. The highest detection rate for cephalometric landmarks was received as 100% for Nasion landmark under 4‐mm error and the highest detection rate was received as 99% for Nasion landmark under 3‐mm error. The less number of datasets were used for the training and higher number of datasets were used for the testing. Compared to the literature methods, our method used higher number of datasets to demonstrate the accuracy of the proposed method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this article, we present two resilient algorithms, the improved alternative hard c‐means (IAHCM) and the improved alternative fuzzy c‐means (IAFCM). We implement the Gaussian distance‐dependent function proposed by Zhang and Chen (D.‐Q. Zhang and Chen, 2004). In some cases, Zhang and Chen's metric distance does not account for the clustering centroid effect predicted by the large value. R* is employed in IAHCM and IAFCM to discover robust results while minimizing its sensitivity. Experiments are conducted using two‐and three‐dimensional data, including Diamond and Iris real‐world data. The results are based on demonstrating the robust simplicity and applicability of the offered algorithms. Similarly, computational complexity is assessed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The significance of community structure in complex networks, such as social, biological, and online networks, has been widely recognized. Detecting communities in social media networks typically relies on two sources of information: the network's topological structure and node attributes. Incorporating rich node content attribute information poses both flexibility and challenges for community detection. Traditional approaches either focus on mining one information source or linearly combining results from both sources, which fails to effectively fuse the information. This paper introduces a practical collaborative learning approach that explores the multi-dimensional attribute characteristics of nodes to facilitate community division. By leveraging graphical matrix decomposition, the proposed algorithm, CDGMF, improves the effectiveness and robustness of community detection. Experimental results demonstrate the method's ability to effectively utilize node attribute information for guiding community detection, resulting in higher-quality community divisions.
