Recently, online teaching and learning have seen a notable uptrend in adoption, subsequently increasing interest in conducting online assessments. The limitation of remote online assessments lies in the challenge of supervising the individual being assessed. For this reason, many consider human supervision a superior method for maintaining the integrity of assessments. This paper introduces algorithm-driven techniques for the automated supervision of online assessment-takers by analysing system processes on their devices and conducting random photographic monitoring. These techniques, along with their associated algorithms, have been encapsulated into a proof of concept tool. The approach aims to deter assessment-takers from accessing unauthorised files on their devices during assessments and to instil a sense of being monitored. The system is built around two primary components: one that monitors process activity and another that analyses images captured through the assessment-taker's device webcam. Data collected through these methods are further analysed using facial recognition and additional algorithms to detect behaviours potentially indicative of cheating during the assessment. Initial testing of the proposed tool achieved a 96.3% accuracy rate in image analysis for identifying cheating behaviour. Moreover, university lecturers' evaluations strongly support the tool's potential to deter cheating, its effectiveness in detection, and its role in maintaining the integrity of online assessments. Future research is recommended to address the challenges identified with the proof of concept tool, with the objective of enhancing both the accuracy and the overall effectiveness of the proposed techniques.

Big data applications like social networks, biological networks, etc. are often realized on graphs. Graph processing, if done on a single node, increases time complexity. Partitioning of graphs has been proved to be useful towards handle this well-known issue. There are several partitioning algorithms that are used to partition a graph. Each partition is assigned to a node within a cluster. However, the storage capacity of a node is limited. Therefore, an effective data distribution mechanism is required. This work aims to propose a novel strategy that would define an efficient distribution of graphs into nodes using genetic algorithms. The proposed data distribution strategy, when applied on two benchmark data set, shows improved data availability without increasing the number of replicas. It has also observed that the execution time will almost became half after applying the proposed method.

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) play an important role in an increasing number of imageprocessing tasks. There is an obvious demand to improve their classification performance and efficiency. Current research in this area tends to focus on developing increasingly complex models and algorithms to achieve this end. However, research into computer vision techniques and data augmentation tends to be neglected. This paper demonstrates that even a very simple CNN model achieves high performance in surface defect classification on the NEU dataset thanks to image preprocessing and data augmentation. The initial F1-score of 0.9646 without image preprocessing increases to 0.9727 when preprocessing is carried out. The simple CNN then achieves an F1-score of 0.9854 after data augmentation.

Digital images are a type of data that has many applications. There are many constructive tools for their analysis and processing. In particular, various discrete transforms are used in order to get useful data features. Here, discrete atomic transform (DAT) and discrete cosine transform (DCT), which are discrete data transforms based, respectively, on atomic and trigonometric functions, are compared in a viewpoint of current imageprocessing and analysis trends. Nowadays, due to a combination of challenges, it is of particular importance to develop such algorithms that provide data compression and protection features in combination with artificial intelligence oriented format. For different reasons, in particular functional properties, application of such non-classic tools as atomic functions to solving this problem seems to be promising. Trigonometric functions are widely used in imageprocessing and can be de-facto considered as a standard. In this research, we provide a comprehensive comparison of DAT and DCT using different criteria, as well as discuss their strengths and weaknesses in the context of the problem considered.

Medical image segmentation plays a pivotal role in computer-aided diagnosis by facilitating the extraction of essential features necessary for disease detection and treatment strategies. The continuous progress in imageprocessing technologies has led to the development of numerous segmentation methods, encompassing traditional algorithms, machine learning (ML)-driven approaches, and cutting-edge deep learning (DL) techniques. This study undertakes a comparative evaluation of these methods, focusing on their efficiency, accuracy, and suitability across different medical imaging modalities. It also delves into prominent segmentation techniques like thresholding, region-based methods, edge detection, graph cuts, active contour models, and convolutional neural networks (CNNs). Additionally, the paper explores ongoing challenges and prospective advancements aimed at enhancing segmentation efficacy in medical imaging.
