AI-Based Feature Extraction Approaches for Dual Modalities of Autism Spectrum Disorder Neuroimages
High-dimensional data, lower detection accuracy, susceptibility to manual errors, and the requirement of clinical experts are some drawbacks of conventional classification models available for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) detection. To address these challenges and explore the affiliated information from advanced imaging modalities such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in structural MRI (sMRI) and resting state-functional MRI (rs-fMRI), the study applied an Artificial Intelligence (AI) approach. In this context, AI is used to automate the feature extraction process, which is crucial in the interpretation of medical images for diagnosis. The work aims to apply AI-based techniques to extract the features and identify the impact of each feature in the Autism diagnosis. The morphometric features were extracted using sMRI images and rs-fMRI scans were employed to fetch functional connectivity features. Surface-based, region-based, and seed-based analyses are performed for the whole brain, followed by feature selection techniques such as Recursive Feature Elimination (RFE) with correlation, Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Independent Component Analysis (ICA), and graph theory are implemented to extract and distinguish features. The effectiveness of the extracted features was measured as classification accuracy. Support Vector Machine (SVM) with RFE is the best classification model, with 88.67% accuracy for high-dimensional data. SVM is a supervised learning model that outperforms other classification models due to its capability to handle high-dimensional data with a larger feature set. Medical imaging modalities provide detailed insights and visual differences related to various cognitive conditions that must be recognized accurately for efficient diagnosis. The study presented an empirical analysis of various Feature extraction approaches and the significance of the extracted features in high-dimensional data scenarios for Autism classification. 2024 Meenakshi Malviya Chandra J and Nagendra N.

AI-based online interview bot with an interactive dashboard
In recent years, video interviews have become increasingly popular in the recruitment process due to their convenience and efficiency. However, evaluating a candidates communication skills and perceived personality traits from a video interview can be challenging. The agent utilizes natural language processing and computer vision techniques to analyze the candidates verbal and nonverbal behavior during the interview. Specifically, the agent focuses on linguistic features such as fluency, grammar, and vocabulary, as well as nonverbal cues such as facial expressions and body language. Based on these features, the agent predicts the candidates communication skills and perceived personality traits. To validate the effectiveness of the agent, a Talk was conducted with a group of participants who completed video interviews with and without the agent. The results show that the agents predictions of communication skills and perceived personality traits are highly correlated with the ratings given by human evaluators. Additionally, the agent is able to provide valuable insights into the candidates performance that may not be immediately apparent to human evaluators. Overall, the intelligent video interview agent proposed here has the potential to improve the recruitment process by providing more accurate and objective evaluations of candidates communication skills and perceived personality traits. 2025 selection and editorial matter, A.

AI-based wavelet and stacked deep learning architecture for detecting coronavirus (COVID-19) from chest X-ray images
A novel coronavirus (COVID-19), belonging to a family of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARs-CoV-2), was identified in Wuhan city, Hubei, China, in November 2019. The disease had already infected more than 681.529665 million people as of March 13, 2023. Hence, early detection and diagnosis of COVID-19 are essential. For this purpose, radiologists use medical images such as X-ray and computed tomography (CT) images for the diagnosis of COVID-19. It is very difficult for researchers to help radiologists to do automatic diagnoses by using traditional image processing methods. Therefore, a novel artificial intelligence (AI)-based deep learning model to detect COVID-19 from chest X-ray images is proposed. The proposed work uses a wavelet and stacked deep learning architecture (ResNet50, VGG19, Xception, and DarkNet19) named WavStaCovNet-19 to detect COVID-19 from chest X-ray images automatically. The proposed work has been tested on two publicly available datasets and achieved an accuracy of 94.24% and 96.10% on 4 classes and 3 classes, respectively. From the experimental results, we believe that the proposed work can surely be useful in the healthcare domain to detect COVID-19 with less time and cost, and with higher accuracy. 2023 Elsevier Ltd -
AI-Based Yolo V4 Intelligent Traffic Light Control System
With the growing number of city vehicles, traffic management is becoming a persistent challenge. Traffic bottlenecks cause significant disturbances in our everyday lives and raise stress levels, negatively impacting the environment by increasing carbon emissions. Due to the population increase, megacities are experiencing severe challenges and significant delays in their day-to-day activities related to transportation. An intelligent traffic management system is required to assess traffic density regularly and take appropriate action. Even though separate lanes are available for various vehicle types, wait times for commuters at traffic signal points are not reduced. The proposed methodology employs artificial intelligence to collect live images from signals to address this issue in the current system. This approach calculates traffic density, utilizing the image processing technique YOLOv4 for effective traffic congestion management. The YOLOv4 algorithm produces better accuracy in the detection of multiple vehicles. Intelligent monitoring technology uses a signal-switching algorithm at signal intersections to coordinate time distribution and alleviate traffic congestion, resulting in shorter vehicle waiting times. 2022 Boppuru Rudra Prathap et al., published by Sciendo. -

AIFMS Autonomous Intelligent Fall Monitoring System for the Elderly Persons
Falls are the major cause of injuries and death of elders who live alone at home. Various research works have provided the best solution to the fall detection approach during the day. However, falls occur more at night due to many factors such as low or zero lighting conditions, intake of medication/drugs, frequent urination due to nocturia disease, and slippery restroom. Based on the required factors, an autonomous monitoring system based on night condition has been proposed through retro-reflective stickers pasted on their upper cloth and infrared cameras installed in the living environment of elders. The developed system uses features such as changes in orientation angle and distance between the retro-reflective stickers to identify the human shape and its characteristics for fall identification. Experimental analysis has also been performed on various events of fall and non-fall activities during the night exclusively in the living environment of the elder, and the system achieves an accuracy of 96.2% and fall detection rate of 92.9%.

The environment directly influences the behaviour, experiences, and also the well-being of people. It is not only the outside environment but the indoor environmental quality (IEQ) that also affects the well-being of its residents (Arif et al., 2016). The objective of the present study is to study the relationship between Air Quality Index (AQI), Personality traits, Residential Satisfaction, and quality of life among participants living in Bengaluru, Chennai, and Delhi NCR. A total of 685 residents aged 18-65, living in Bengaluru, Chennai, and Delhi NCR for over 2 years, who responded to the call for participation were selected for the study. Data was collected through online Google forms. Correlation and regression analysis were carried out to understand the strength and direction of the relationship between study variables. SPSS AMOS was used to estimate the measurement model and capture mediation paths. The results present an exploratory model which identifies air quality index and personality traits and their contribution towards the perceptions of residential satisfaction. The study also establishes a link between residential satisfaction and quality of life, the new ecological paradigm, and the dominant social paradigm. The present study highlights the necessity to adopt a pro-environmental approach to improve the quality of life. 2024 - IOS Press. All rights reserved. -
