Optimizing the authenticity and efficacy of interactions between humans and computers is largely dependent on emotion detection. The MFF-CNN framework is used in this work to present a unique method for multidimensional emotion identification. The MFF-CNN model is a combination of approaches that combines convolutional neural networks and multimodal fusion. It is intended to efficiently collect and integrate data from several modalities, including spoken words and human facial expressions. The first step in the suggested system's implementation is gathering a multimodal dataset with emotional labels added to it.

A Comparative Analysis of LSB & DCT Based Steganographic Techniques: Confidentiality, Contemporary State, and Future Challenges
In order to maintain anonymity and security, the steganography is the technique of cloaking confidential data within what seems like harmless digital material. Several steganographic methods have been established devised over time, but those centered around the discrete cosine transformation (DCT) and the least significant bit (LSB) have drawn the most consideration. In this study, two common steganographic methods are compared and contrasted with an emphasis on the secrecy they can keep, the usage they are now receiving, and any potential difficulties in the future. As an alternative, the DCT-based method uses the frequency domain properties of cover media to obfuscate hidden information. Since it spreads the concealed information across several frequency coefficients, it provides greater security than LSB-based techniques. The resilience and imperceptibility of the concealed data are improved by a variety of DCT-based algorithms, such as the modified quantization and matrix encoding approaches, which we explore in detail. We also give a general summary of both approaches'current state in terms of their application, constraints, and areas in which they may be used. We evaluate the benefits and drawbacks of each approach, considering elements like payload size, computing difficulty, and detection resistance. 2023 IEEE. -

AI-Enabled Early Detection of Chemo-Induced Cardiotoxicity Patterns Using ECG Time Series Data
Objectives: Chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity is still a major clinical problem, usually appearing subclinically before structural or symptomatic cardiac dysfunction appears. Standard surveillance methods use imaging and biomarkers, which are time-intensive and money-intensive and can only identify damage at more advanced levels. Electrocardiography (ECG) provides a low-cost, non-invasive method that can detect early electrophysiological changes but is not fully utilized in cardio-oncology. The present work was designed to build an explainable machine learning model for predicting chemo-like cardiotoxicity patterns at an early stage from single-lead ECG signals. Methods: A public ECG data set (n=4997 segments) underwent preprocessing and was converted to 18 temporal, morphologic, and spectral features. Two ensemble learning algorithmsRandom Forest and XGBoostwere trained and validated with stratified splits. Model performance was assessed with ROCAUC, PRAUC, and F1-score with 1000 bootstrap resampling. Feature interpretability was evaluated through permutation importance and SHAP analysis. Results: Both models scored near-perfect classification (ROCAUC and PRAUC>0.99, F1-score ? 0.986). Spectral entropy, band3 (high-energy frequency), QT surrogate, and peak count were the top features ranking alongside early cardiotoxicity indicators like repolarization instability and autonomic imbalance. Conclusions: The feature-driven, interpretable ML architecture suggested here shows that single-lead ECG has the potential to be an affordable and clinically relevant tool for the early detection of chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity. The method provides a feasible route toward implementation in precision cardio-oncology, particularly in resource-poor or ambulatory environments. 2025 -
Optimized Hybrid Prognostics Using Hynetreg Model for Infertility Prediction
This paper develops an optimized hybrid approach to predict infertility with the HyNetReg Model. The HyNetReg Model combines deep feature extraction by using neural networks with logistic regression with regularization. It uses both hormonal and demographic information of 100 participants to clarify intricate interlinkages between demographic factors and salient hormonal levels, such as Luteinizing Hormone, Follicle Stimulating Hormone, Anti-Mlerian Hormone, and Prolactin, and the ability of these same factors to affect fertility outcomes. It applies heavy data pre-processing including normalization, missing values imputation, and class imbalance handling through oversampling techniques. A multi-layer neural network is utilized to extract features for the reduction of complex, non-linear interaction among the input variables. Then, regularized logistic regression is applied for classification on the same features. Performance evaluation metrics, including accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and ROC curve analysis, demonstrate the superiority of the HyNetReg Model over traditional logistic regression. The ROC curve was specifically utilized to assess the models discrimination ability between infertile and fertile cases by plotting the true positive rate (sensitivity) against the false positive rate (1-specificity). A higher Area Under the Curve indicated that the model effectively distinguished infertility risks based on hormonal and demographic features. The results indicate that the model can recover very slight interdependencies of hormones and influences of demographics, making it suitable for modeling multi-factorial determinants of infertility and holding significant implications for clinical decision-making. 2025 Oriental Scientific Publishing Company.
