Purpose: This study aims to address the limitations of traditional data processing methods in predicting agricultural product prices, which is essential for advancing rural informatization to enhance agricultural efficiency and support rural economic growth.
Methodology: The RL-CNN-GRU framework combines reinforcement learning (RL), convolutional neural network (CNN), and gated recurrent unit (GRU) to improve agricultural price predictions using multidimensional time series data, including historical prices, weather, soil conditions, and other influencing factors. Initially, the model employs a 1D-CNN for feature extraction, followed by GRUs to capture temporal patterns in the data.
COVID-19 has killed more than 5 million individuals worldwide within a short time. It is caused by SARS-CoV-2 which continuously mutates and produces more transmissible new different strains. It is therefore of great significance to diagnose COVID-19 early to curb its spread and reduce the death rate.

This paper suggested an Internet of Things (IoT) framework based on a smart phone by utilizing a novel feature termed multiresolution critical spectral verge (MCSV), based on frequency-derived information for epileptic seizure classification which was optimized using a flower pollination algorithm (FPA). A wireless sensor technology (WSN) was utilized to record the electroencephalography (EEG) signal of epileptic patients.

Tuberculosis can be detected from microscopic slides and chest X-ray but as a result of the high cases of tuberculosis, this method can be tedious for both microbiologist and Radiologist and can lead to miss-diagnosis. The main objective of this study is to addressed these challenges by employing Computer Aided Detection (CAD) using Artificial Intelligence-driven models which learn features based on convolution and result in an output with high accuracy.

India is severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and is facing an unprecedented public health emergency. While the country's immediate measures focus on combating the coronavirus spread, it is important to investigate the impacts of the current crisis on India's renewable energy transition and air quality. India's economic slowdown is mainly compounded by the collapse of global oil prices and the erosion of global energy demand.

Convolutional neural networks, that belong to the deep learning models, are a subtype of artificial neural networks, which are inspired by the complex structure of the human brain and are often used for image classification tasks. One of the biggest challenges in all deep neural networks is the overfitting issue, which happens when the model performs well on the training data, but fails to make accurate predictions for the new data that is fed into the model.
