The Novel Corona Virus 2019 has drastically affected millions of people all around the world and was a huge threat to the human race since its evolution in 2019. Chest CT images are considered to be one of the indicative sources for diagnosis of COVID-19 by most of the researchers in the research community. Several researchers have proposed various models for the prediction of COVID-19 using CT images using Artificial Intelligence based algorithms (Alimadadi e al., 2020 [19], Srinivasa Rao and Vazquez, 2020 [20], Vaishya et al., 2020 [21]). EfficientNet is one of the powerful Convolutional Neural Network models proposed by Tan and Le (2019). The objective of this study is to explore the effect of image enhancement algorithms such as Laplace transform, Wavelet transforms, Adaptive gamma correction and Contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE) on Chest CT images for the classification of Covid-19 using the EfficientNet algorithm. SARS- COV-2 (Soares et al., 2020) dataset is used in this study. The images were preprocessed and brightness augmented. The EfficientNet algorithm is implemented and the performance is evaluated by adding the four image enhancement algorithms. The CLAHE based EfficientNet model yielded an accuracy of 94.56%, precision of 95%, recall of 91%, and F1 of 93%. This study shows that adding a CLAHE image enhancement to the EfficientNet model improves the performance of the powerful Convolutional Neural Network model in classifying the CT images for Covid-19.

Facial emotion recognition (FER) can serve as a valuable tool for assessing emotional states, which are often linked to mental health. However, mental health encompasses a broad range of factors that go beyond facial expressions. While FER provides insights into certain aspects of emotional well-being, it can be used in conjunction with other assessments to form a more comprehensive understanding of an individual's mental health.

Accurate human action recognition is becoming increasingly important across various fields, including healthcare and self-driving cars. A simple approach to enhance model performance is incorporating additional data modalities, such as depth frames, point clouds, and skeleton information, while previous studies have predominantly used late fusion techniques to combine these modalities, our research introduces a multi-level fusion approach that combines information at early, intermediate, and late stages together. Furthermore, recognizing the challenges of collecting multiple data types in real-world applications, our approach seeks to exploit multimodal techniques while relying solely on RGB frames as the single data source.

A vast multitude of tasks in histopathology could potentially benefit from the support of artificial intelligence (AI). Many examples have been shown in the literature and first commercial products with FDA or CE-IVDR clearance are available. However, two key challenges remain: (1) a scarcity of thoroughly annotated images, respectively the laboriousness of this task, and (2) the creation of robust models that can cope with the data heterogeneity in the field (domain generalization).
