Computer vision and deep transfer learning for automatic gauge reading detection.

This manuscript proposes an automatic reading detection system for an analogue gauge using a combination of deep learning, machine learning, and image processing. The study suggests image-processing techniques in manual analogue gauge reading that include generating readings for the image to provide supervised data to address difficulties in unsupervised data in gauges and to achieve better accuracy using DenseNet 169 compared to other approaches. The model uses artificial intelligence to automate reading detection using deep transfer learning models like DenseNet 169, InceptionNet V3, and VGG19.

Enhancing health care through medical cognitive virtual agents.

Objective: The modern era of cognitive intelligence in clinical space has led to the rise of 'Medical Cognitive Virtual Agents' (MCVAs) which are labeled as intelligent virtual assistants interacting with users in a context-sensitive and ambient manner. They aim to augment users' cognitive capabilities thereby helping both patients and medical experts in providing personalized healthcare like remote health tracking, emergency healthcare and robotic diagnosis of critical illness, among others. The objective of this study is to explore the technical aspects of MCVA and their relevance in modern healthcare.

An Adaptive Distributed Denial of Service Attack Prevention Technique in a Distributed Environment.

Cyberattacks in the modern world are sophisticated and can be undetected in a dispersed setting. In a distributed setting, DoS and DDoS attacks cause resource unavailability. This has motivated the scientific community to suggest effective approaches in distributed contexts as a means of mitigating such attacks.
