Congenital heart disease (CHD) remains a significant global health challenge, particularly contributing to newborn mortality, with the highest rates observed in middle- and low-income countries due to limited healthcare resources. Machine learning (ML) presents a promising solution by developing predictive models that more accurately assess the risk of mortality associated with CHD. These ML-based models can help healthcare professionals identify high-risk infants and ensure timely and appropriate care.

Layout analysis is the main component of a typical Document Image Analysis (DIA) system and plays an important role in pre-processing. However, regarding the Pashto language, the document images have not been explored so far. This research, for the first time, examines Pashto text along with graphics and proposes a deep learning-based classifier that can detect Pashto text and graphics per document.

This article introduces a recognition system for handwritten text in the Pashto language, representing the first attempt to establish a baseline system using the Pashto Handwritten Text Imagebase (PHTI) dataset. Initially, the PHTI dataset underwent pre-processed to eliminate unwanted characters, subsequently, the dataset was divided into training 70%, validation 15%, and test sets 15%. The proposed recognition system is based on multi-dimensional long short-term memory (MD-LSTM) networks.

Gait-based gender classification is a challenging task since people may walk in different directions with varying speed, gait style, and occluded joints. The majority of research studies in the literature focused on gender-specific joints, while there is less attention on the comparison of all of a body's joints. To consider all of the joints, it is essential to determine a person's gender based on their gait using a Kinect sensor.

Human face image analysis is an active research area within computer vision. In this paper we propose a framework for face image analysis, addressing three challenging problems of race, age, and gender recognition through face parsing. We manually labeled face images for training an end-to-end face parsing model through Deep Convolutional Neural Networks.

Accurate face segmentation strongly benefits the human face image analysis problem. In this paper we propose a unified framework for face image analysis through end-to-end semantic face segmentation. The proposed framework contains a set of stack components for face understanding, which includes head pose estimation, age classification, and gender recognition.
