This research study focuses on the early recognition of diabetic retinopathy disease from the fundus images and identifies its severity stages to make successful treatments against blindness risk. Some traditional approaches explored the decision tree, kernel-based support vector machine, and Nae Bayes classifier models to extract the features from fundus images. Most of the researchers applied the modern approach of convolutional neural network model through transfer learning mechanism to extract relevant features from the fundus images. It helps in the diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy that may delay the prediction process and create inconsistency among the doctors. So, a deep learning-based approach is proposed in this research study to provide stage-wise prediction of diabetic retinopathy disease with a multi-task learning mechanism. As a result, the proposed deep convolutional neural network classifier with an ensemble model outperforms the existing classifier with EfficientNet-B4, EfficientNet-B5, SE-ResNeXt50 (380?380), and SE-ResNeXt50 (512?512) networking methods in the context of prediction correctness, sensitivity, specificity, macro F1, and quadratic weighted kappa (QWK) score metrics. Exploiting hyperparameter optimizations on the deep learning classifier model and multi-task regression learning approaches make significant improvements over the performance evaluation metrics.

Behavioral Time Management Analysis: Clustering Productivity Patterns using K-Means
This paper focuses on investigating the efficiency profile through the three-time management behaviors using the K-Means clustering method. In the case of the study, the data gathered from digital time management tools for 100 participants for one month was preprocessed to distil features surrounding productivity, including daily working hours, focus time, break duration and frequency, and task completion ratios. The four groups that were agreed upon through K-Means clustering differed in terms of time management behaviours and productivity. Insert table 6 IT cluster 1 worked long hours with high productivity owing to the fact that they are IT professionals but had a tendency of multitasking. Employment Cluster 2 (marketing and sales professionals) achieved both personal and work-related self-care but identified the need for more concentrated time per task. As for the differences in the breaks, it can be noted that cluster 3 (management and administration personnel) had significantly higher task completion times and focus times, but their break intervals needed to be optimized. Hypothesis 2 stated that there will be many hours of leisure for Cluster 4 (students and interns) imply that their work hours should be adjusted to several small tasks a day, and their rates of task completion should be increased. From the study, it is possible to stress that time management should be considered as an individual activity that requires specific approaches to the given subject area and to the learner in particular.

Text Summarization Techniques for Kannada Language
Text Summarization is summarizing the original text document into a shorter description. This short version should retain the meaning and information content of the original text document. A concise summary can help humans quickly understand a large original document better in a short time. Summarization can be used in many text documents, such as reviews of books, movies, newspaper articles, content, and huge documents. Text summarization is broadly classified into extractive Text Summarization (ETS) and Abstractive Text Summarization (ATS). Even though more research works are carried out using extractive methods, meaningful summaries can be attained using abstractive summary techniques, which are more complex. In Indian languages, very few works are carried out in abstract summarization, and there is a high need for research in this area. The paper aims to generate extractive and abstractive summaries of the text by using deep learning and extractive summaries and comparisons between them in the Kannada language.
