Human interaction recognition (HIR) between two people in videos is a critical field in computer vision and pattern recognition, aimed at identifying and understanding human interaction and actions for applications such as healthcare, surveillance, and human-computer interaction. Despite its significance, video-based HIR faces challenges in achieving satisfactory performance due to the complexity of human actions, variations in motion, different viewpoints, and environmental factors. In the study, we proposed a two-stream deep learning-based HIR system to address these challenges and improve the accuracy and reliability of HIR systems.

Many researchers have been working to develop an sEMG-based hand gesture recognition system. However, the existing system still faces challenges in achieving satisfactory performance due to ineffective feature enhancement, so the prediction is erratic and unstable.

BCIs allow people with motor impairments to control external devices directly with their brains using electroencephalogram (EEG) patterns that translate brain activity into control signals. Many researchers have been working to develop MI-based BCI recognition systems using various time-frequency feature extraction and classification approaches.

Recent studies underscore its prevalence, with over 50% of elderly Japanese facing a lifetime risk of dementia, primarily attributed to AD. As the most prevalent form of dementia, AD gradually erodes brain cells, leading to severe neurological decline.

But probably because of the large number of patterns, 46 types, there is a mixture of static and dynamic, and the dynamic ones have been excluded in most studies. Few researchers have been working to develop a dynamic JSL alphabet, and their performance accuracy is unsatisfactory.

Biomarkers associated with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are of great importance to better understand biological response mechanisms to internal or external intervention. The study aimed to identify key candidate genes for HCC using machine learning (ML) and statistics-based bioinformatics models. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified using limma and then selected their common genes among DEGs identified from four datasets.

An automated sleep stage categorization can readily face noise-contaminated EEG recordings, just as other signal processing applications. Therefore, the denoising of the contaminated signals is inevitable to ensure a reliable analysis of the EEG signals. In this research work, an empirical mode decomposition is used in combination with stacked autoencoders to conduct automatic sleep stage classification with reliable analytical performance.

Developing systems and algorithms to recognize hand gestures is expected to enhance the experience of human-computer interfaces, especially when there are difficulties in communicating vocally. A popular system for recognizing hand gestures is the air-writing method, where people write letters in the air by hand.

Various bioinformatics analysis-based approaches are widely used to predict novel candidate genes and pathways associated with IgAN. However, there is still some scope to clearly explore the molecular mechanisms and causes of IgAN development and progression.

Good fitness habits can improve cardiopulmonary capacity, increase concentration, prevent obesity, and effectively reduce the risk of death. Home fitness does not require large equipment but uses dumbbells, yoga mats, and horizontal bars to complete fitness exercises and can effectively avoid contact with people, so it is deeply loved by people.

Air-writing recognition is a special case of gesture recognition in which gestures correspond to characters and digits written in the air. Air-writing, unlike general gestures, does not require the memorization of predefined special gesture patterns.

Methods: The combination of PCA and ML-based techniques has been implemented to select the best features at different PCA cutoff values and choose the optimal PCA cutoff in which ML-based techniques give the highest accuracy. These optimum features are fed into six ML-based techniques: linear discriminant analysis, support vector machine (SVM), logistic regression, K-nearest neighborhood, naïve Bayes, and artificial neural network.
