Gait analysis is essential for the diagnosis of neuromuscular and musculoskeletal disorders. Traditional methods are vulnerable and lead to inconsistency as they rely on subjective assessments. An angle-based approach which uses advanced machine learning techniques have been used address this. Extracted joint angle measurements have been extracted from the video data using computer vision methods. The characteristics used in this research were used to train a hybrid model of a Random Forest classifier and a Fuzzy C-Means clustering algorithm. Random Forest model was used as it is stable and capable of dealing with intricate nonlinear relationships and Fuzzy C-Means was used as it can manage ambiguity in the data as well as overlapping class distributions. The results showed that the Random Forest classifier has a classification accuracy of 94.62%, which is better than the other models in distinguishing between normal and abnormal gait patterns. Fuzzy C-Means also shows high accuracy is capable of clustering various forms of gait and extracting detailed features in gait dynamics. Results suggest that integrating joint angle analysis with machine learning methods provides a credible tool for gait analysis, which can aid clinicians in the early detection and treatment of gait related disorders.

Credit card fraud has become a major issue in the online financial environment, requiring the implementation of smart and automated tools for real-time detection of frauds. Machine Learning (ML) has been an important asset in this area because of its capability to discover underlying patterns, learn new fraud methods, and offer scalable solutions. This study investigates the usage of different classical machine learning and deep transfer learning based on predictive models for credit card fraud detection with a focus on their comparative performance on six important parameters: time elapsed, accuracy, precision, recall, TNR and F1 score. The investigation makes use of a PCA transformed benchmark dataset with a total of 2,84,807 credit card transactions to train models. In depth experimentation is performed using five classical ML models named Random Forest, Logistic Regression, Linear SVM; Non-Linear SVM; XGBoost and four classical Deep Learned models named MLP, Shallow ANN, ID CNN, and LSTM. To enhance experimental validity, prediction capability of four GNN based CNN models such as Boosting-GNN, Jump-Attentive GNN, GNN and PC-GNN are also tested. Deep learning based neural network models are analysed using seven different activation functions and each model is fit using 10 epochs of batch size 512. Testing results point out that overall best performance in classical ML models is shown by Non-Linear SVM with best recall score depicted by ANN on RBG kernel and GPU. In the ensemble category, Random Forest model exhibits overall best performance with best recall for XGBoost. Precision, accuracy and F1 score of random forest and XG boost are highest. Results have shown that in case of Random Forest the accuracy, precision, recall and F1score are 99.9%, 97.7%, 81.9% and 89.12% respectively whereas for XG boost the values for accuracy, precision and F1 score are 99.96%, 92.63%, 83.81% and 88% respectively. Deep Learned models showed high accuracies, however they were significantly utilized computational resources in respect to elapsed time. The study provides a roadmap to financial institutions for efficient model selection while deciding on implementing automated and trustworthy fraud detection systems and helps shape the dynamic world of intelligent financial security solutions to reduce financial losses.

Prioritized QoS Enforcement in Smart Healthcare IoT Using Adaptive Deep Q-Network-Based Traffic Decision System
adaptive systems; healthcare IOT; network optimization; quality of service; reinforcement learning
Healthcare IoT systems have been plagued with significant challenges with regard to maintaining an optimum QoS due to the dynamic conditions of the network, diverse device capabilities, and stringent real-time constraints imposed by patient monitoring-type applications. Traditional QoS mechanisms are basically static; they do not take into account changes within the network. Hence, service delivery experiences degradation, with attendant risk to patients' safety. As a solution, this research proposes an adaptive QoS approach employing Deep Q-Network (DQN) reinforcement learning algorithms to dynamically control resource allocation and traffic prioritization in healthcare IoT networks. This system involves multi-agent reinforcement learning architecture where continuous state-action space mapping is utilized for adjusting bandwidth allocation, latency management, and packet prioritization automatically based on network conditions and the criticality levels of applications in real-time. Experimentally, the solution has attained an accuracy of 94.7 percent in QoS prediction, an 87.3 percent reduction in average latency to critical healthcare applications, 91.2 percent improvement in network throughput utilization, and an 89.6 percent success rate in adhering to service level agreements in peak traffic conditions. Through reinforcement learning-based decision making, the adaptive QoS mechanism dynamically accommodates the requirements of healthcare IoT, ensuring reliable service delivery while optimizing the usage of network resources. 2025 IEEE.

Extended Virtual Reality has expanded its wings to almost each and every sector enabling immersive experience in various fields and has found applications in gamification, learning, healthcare, etc. This technology has aided in providing solutions to various problems in different fields, and healthcare is the most prominent one among them. Children suffering from ASD which is a developmental disorder affecting the brain that impacts how a person perceives external responses, are finding it increasingly difficult to get treated as the treatment methods are tedious. There are very few methods which are regarded as standardized means of treating autistic children but there are a few common traits that can be found in children affected by ASD which can be grouped under three common categories. They are lack of communication skills, lack of basic mathematical knowledge and low levels of remembrance. With the help of Gamification, which provides therapy by means of games to those affected, the kids affected by ASD can be treated, powered by the concept of Extended Virtual Reality. In this paper, we have developed a model to provide autistic children a real world experience of playing games which will help them in enhancing their skills without any external interferences. Children who play these Extended Virtual Reality based games show gradual improvement, for which the results can be facilitated with the help of a Linear Regression model, helping us predict future response times. The proposed model results in enhancement of memory levels of the kids as a result of the game and classifies kids based on their enhancement in memory into high, medium and low. The mean absolute error of the linear regression model is found to be 0.0394. 2024, The Author(s) under exclusive licence to The Society for Reliability Engineering, Quality and Operations Management (SREQOM), India and The Division of Operation and Maintenance, Lulea University of Technology, Sweden.

A Comparative Study of Unsupervised Models for Anomaly Detection in Maritime AIS Data
AIS; Anomaly Detection; Benchmarking Study; Deep Learning; Illicit Trade; Isolation Forest; Maritime Security; Unsu-pervised Learning
The integrity of global maritime trade is increasingly threatened by deceptive practices such as sanctions evasion and illicit trafficking, often facilitated by the manipulation of vessel tracking data from the Automatic Identification System (AIS). While AIS provides a rich source for monitoring vessel behavior, the vast scale of the data and the novelty of anomalous patterns necessitate advanced, automated detection methods. This paper presents a comprehensive benchmarking study of four dis-tinct unsupervised machine learning architectures for detecting anomalies in historical AIS vessel trajectories. The evaluated models include a Bidirectional GRU (Bi-GRU) autoencoder, a probabilistic GeoTrackNet with A Contrario detection, a two-level grid representation with Isolation Forest, and a multi-model approach combining spatial-thematic attributes with Isolation Forest. We provide detailed mathematical formulations, algorithmic descriptions, and rigorous comparative analysis of each approach, examining trade-offs between temporal modeling, spa-tial context awareness, feature engineering, and computational complexity. Our benchmarking results on 985,700 AIS messages indicate that spatially-aware models (GeoTrackNet, grid-based methods) demonstrate significantly higher sensitivity (6.76%-10.00% anomaly rates) than purely temporal models (0.20%), but at greater computational cost. This study provides practical guidance for model selection based on operational requirements and proposes future directions toward multimodal architectures integrating trajectory analysis with document-based verification. 2025 IEEE.

An Adversarial-Resilient Multi-Agent AI Framework for Autonomous Robotic Warfare Defense
Next-generation AI-enabled defense is essential to deter enemy drones, swarms, and autonomous vehicles in contested and deceptive environments, with modern battlefields becoming increasingly dependent on autonomous robot platforms. To discover and dissect and eliminate hostile autonomous threats in real-time, this study presents an integrated Adversarial-Resilient Swarm Defense AI Framework (AR-SDAI) with a Spatio-Temporal Transformer, a Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning Countermeasure Module, and a Hybrid Graph Attention Network. To identify hidden or counterfeit threats and improve defense against enemy attacks, the system begins with applying a Transformer-based situational awareness model to merge multi-sensor battlefield data to fuse. Autonomous defense drones are then controlled by a multi-agent reinforcement learning framework to perform actions of dynamic electronic jamming and optimal interception maneuvers in a swarm environment. Finally, the system can find unusual patterns and create human-understandable counter-strategies for human-in-the-loop control with the help of a graph-based explainability layer that models the interactions of adversary swarms as dynamic graphs. Compared to traditional rule-based and CNN-RNN baselines using experiments on a simulated Red-Blue drone warfare test benchmark, the suggested AR-SDAI is better by 23% in threat detection accuracy, 31% in swarm interception success rate, and 19% in response latency. With its provision of robust, explainable, and flexible AI capability for next-generation robotic warfare settings, the paper in general enhances the state of autonomous defense operations. 2026 Saurav Mallik, Sandeep Kumar Mathivanan, Basu Dev Shivahare.
