Mathematical Capabilities of LLMs
Large language models (LLMs) have the potential to solve mathematical problems well, but little has been investigated. In this research, we evaluate five leading LLMs - (Gemini, Claude, Mistral, ChatGPT, and Llama - on a set of 50 mathematical problems that cover calculus, algebra, geometry, number theory, and probability. Finally, the study evaluates the accuracy of their solutions and gives the ability to assess their intermediate steps correctly. I created a primary dataset for comparison of the LLM performances and ranked the models according to how well they were able to solve those problems.

Comparison of Convergence Rates in Federated Learning and Federated Multi-Task Learning Using the CIFAR-10 Dataset
Many smart or cell phones have built-in distance, signal, and air pollution sensors. While collecting information, an acceleration registering device is a three-dimensional one and it can be applied in the gait analysis to address issues such as falls and health status determination. Indeed, the data is abundance in terms of quantity and some of the data may be of great concern in terms of privacy. In the time of Industry 4.0 the data has emerged as a key resource. Personal information/identity must not be maintained and hence cannot be stored at one place or all collected in a single place. AI models are moving to decentralized where a machine learning setting called Federated learning (FL) is being applied. FL has adversities such as statistical and systems heterogeneity. Actually, to better use shared information and build local models, Federated Multi-task learning (FMTL) has been devised. We also compare the number of iterations required to converge using CIFAR dataset of FL and FMTL. Several graphs illustrated in this paper show that convergence rates depend on the algorithm, number of communication rounds and number of clients or devices. Thus, it is clear that in some cases FL outperforms with FMTL in terms of convergence or conversely. However, it cannot be deduced that the type of FMTL always converges better than FL. The reliance on this graph is evident in this paper in order to as explain as prove the fact that, as the number of clients in FL rises, the rate of convergence declines. If ten communication rounds are employed with the use of the MOCHA algorithm, the model does not converge appropriately. The RMSE score declined from 1.14 to 1.02 throughout 20 epochs. 2025 IEEE. -

The proposed architecture allows the simultaneous interfacing of photovoltaic panels, fuel cells, and battery banks to a common DC bus, enabling seamless energy management and hybrid source utilization. A maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm is embedded to optimize PV energy extraction under varying environmental conditions. MATLAB/Simulink models are developed to analyze performance parameters including voltage gain, current ripple, power stability, and total harmonic distortion (THD).

Machine Learning-Based Credit Scoring for Personalized and Inclusive Lending in Consumer-Centric Financial Systems
Traditional approaches to credit-scoring are largely based on rule systems that can be excessively fixed and limited to the ability to reflect individual financial behavior. The article analyzes the effectiveness of machine-learning (ML)- based credit ranking with the hypothesis that they can improve predictive capability and fairness of consumer credit lending. The performance of these algorithms, including supervised methods of learning, e.g., logistic regression, random forests as well as the deep learning, is contrasted to the conventional credit models. Model transparency is provided by SHAP values and other methods explainable by AI. Findings show that practice based on the use of ML outperform traditional methods in risk assessment, especially, through the inclusion of supplementary forms of data in traditional databases based on transaction behavior, virtual footprints, and psychometric signals. Furthermore, ethical standards and moral confidence in ML informed credit decision-making will require regulation-proof and explanatory modelling. Through the research, it is recommended to implement policy measures intended to cause financial institutions, fintech companies, and regulating bodies to implement ML-based credit-scoring technologies, with fairness and predictive effectiveness being reciprocal drivers of financial access and consumer-friendly lending practices. 2025 IEEE. -
Adaptive Risk-Aware Ride Assignment (ARARA) Algorithm to Improve Efficiency to Lower Cancellation Rates in Bengaluru
Ride cancellations on urban mobility platforms like Rapido, OLA, Uber and other service provide platforms are negatively impacting user experience, driver earnings, and platform efficiency due to high cancellation of rides. This study addresses the challenge by developing a machine learning based adaptive userride matching algorithm that is trained on real world ride dataset from Bengaluru. The dataset includes features such as ride time, source, destination, distance, fare, payment method, and ride status. Through data preprocessing and feature engineering, key patterns influencing ride cancellations are identified. A classification model is developed to predict the likelihood of cancellation before ride assignment by using few Machine learning models among various model XGBoost and Logistic Regression outperformed with nearly 9 0% accuracy. Later to enhance the performance in allocation based on cancellation prediction the ARARA algorithm suggests that reallocates rides dynamically based on cancellation risk using inference and assignment Algorithm. Experimental results shows that how to reduce cancellation rates and improved accuracy by choosing best allocation based on top three best captains for allocation to optimize chances of cancellation. This framework can be integrated by ride platforms to enhance service reliability and optimize fleet efficiency. 2025 IEEE. -

A Context-Aware Finite State Machine for Gesture-Driven UAV Control
Gesture based Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is a very intuitive way to control drones (UAVs). Current methods tend to associate one gesture to one action, a practice which is rigid and inflexible. In this paper, we propose the Finite State Machine (FSM)-based gesture control framework, which allows triggering several actions of the UAV with a single gesture depending on the current state of the drone. MediaPipe hand gestures recognition and integration with ROS2 and PX4 allows the system to automatically takeoff, land, hover, automated ascents, and directional speed variation. Experiments in a ROS2 simulation environment test the system in terms of gesture-to-state latency, the rate of successful commands, the extent of the FSM that the system is capable of controlling, and the rate of false positives (spurious transitions). The results indicate that the suggested method has robust and responsive control of the UAV, which forms the basis to establish more intuitive and adaptive human-UAV interaction in limited spaces. 2025 IEEE. -
Railway Track Crack Detection: A Comparative Study On Yolov7 And U-Net In Automated Inspection
For railway networks to remain operationally safe and avoid catastrophic failures, structural integrity is essential. Track cracks can be found using labor-intensive, slow, and human error-prone manual inspection techniques. In this work, two cutting-edge deep learning models - YOLOv8 andU-Net v2 - for automated railway track crack detection using high-resolution imagery from Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are compared. In a real-world inspection scenario, we compare the different strategies of precise semantic segmentation (U-Net) and real-time object detection (YOLOv8) in order to assess their relative trade-offs. We compare performance on important metrics such as precision, recall, intersection over union (IoU), and inference speed using a custom dataset that was taken by a DJI Matrice 300 RTK drone. This work is novel because it examines how each model's output - bounding boxes versus pixel-level masks - directly affects the usefulness for maintenance workflows from an application-focused perspective. According to our research, U-Net v2 offers the fine-grained information required for precise damage assessment, while YOLOv8 is best suited for quick, extensive screening. This study offers railway operators useful information for creating a multi-stage, hybrid inspection strategy that strikes a balance between accuracy and speed. 2025 IEEE. -
Emotion-Aware Sign Language Recognition Using CNN and UNET Architectures
This paper proposes an AI-based system for the recognition of sign language with the detection of emotions for more expressive communication among speech-impaired and hearing individuals and others. Traditional sign language systems focus mainly on the aspect of hand gestures and neglect the signs for emotions that add meaning and context. In order to overcome the limitation, the project proposes a system that utilizes Convolutional Neural Nets (CNNs) for the recognition of hand signs and UNET for the segmentation of the picture so that the area of the hands can be discriminated from the background. Facial Emotion Recognition (FER) is also incorporated in order to detect signs such as happiness, sadness, or anger. Overall, the parts together constitute a multimodal recognition system that can read signs and emotions and produce more natural and expressive outputs. The paper delves into architecture, dataset challenges, and implementation concepts with publicly available databases such as RWTH-PHOENIX-Weather 2014T. The combined approach can enhance inclusivity and access in learning, communication, and assistive technology. 2025 IEEE. -

Digital Twins for predictive maintenance of Production and Machines: A Comprehensive Review
Digital Twin (DT) technology has matured from concept to practice across factories and critical assets, enabling new capabilities in condition-based and predictive maintenance, resilient production planning, and life-cycle decision-making. This review synthesizes current knowledge on DT usage for production and predictive machine maintenance, with concise notes on structural maintenance where SHM (structural health monitoring) increasingly adopts twin concepts. We first consolidate enabling architectures (standards, ontologies, F?FMI-based co-simulation, and hybrid modelling) and then critically survey applications spanning CNC cutting tools, bearings and gearboxes, robotic cells, and production lines. We highlight evidence that hybrid (physics + data-driven) twins reduce remaining useful life (RUL) prediction error compared to single-strategy approaches, improve energy-aware scheduling, and shorten diagnosis-to-action loops. Industrial deployments demonstrate up to 20-30% reduction in unplanned downtime when DT-enabled predictive maintenance is integrated into operational workflows Finally, we surface open challenges - data governance, model validation, uncertainty quantification, interoperability, and work-force adoption - and propose a practical roadmap to make DT predictive maintenance projects production-ready. 2025 IEEE.
