As stated by the United Arab Emirates’s (UAE) Community Development Authority (CDA), there are around 3,065 individuals with hearing disabilities in the country. These individuals often struggle to communicate with broader society and rely on scarce sign language (SL) interpreters. Moreover, Arabic’s dialects diversity compounds the issue by causing dialects in the Arabic Sign Language (ArSL). Hence, the call for a standardized reference for ArSL in the region is a priority. To address these challenges, we’ve developed an Emirate Sign Language (ESL) electronic dictionary (e-dictionary) with a dataset of 127 signs and 50 sentences, recorded by hearing-impaired individuals in the UAE with various degrees of deafness. Supervised by certified interpreters and validated by ESL’s department head at CDA in Dubai, the recordings were made using Azure Kinect DK, resulting in 708 recordings. The dataset is then processed to 10fps. The e-dictionary offers features such as webcam-based sign recognition using YOLOv8 technology, voice-based signing via Arabic Automatic Speech Recognition, text-based signing, and words spelling in ArSL.

Epilepsy is a prevalent neurological disorder and has been studied through the analysis of Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. However, the identification and classification of epileptic seizure patterns remains challenging due to the non-stationary nature of EEG signals and the presence of artifacts. In this paper, we investigate the applicability of a transformer-based deep learning model to classify seizure patterns observed in epileptic patients. We employed the self-attention mechanism inherent in transformers to capture complex temporal relationships in the EEG recordings. By prepossessing the EEG signals into suitable input sequences and adapting the transformer architecture, we achieved 78.11% in distinguishing between different epileptic seizure patterns. Our findings indicate that the transformer model, with its ability to manage long-range dependencies, offers a robust approach to EEG-based seizure pattern classification. This work is important for building advanced automated diagnostic tools for epilepsy and related neurological disorders.

The plants disease diagnosis is very challenging research in the field of agriculture. Cassava is a second most provider of carbohydrates in Africa. It is a key food for people of Africa in very harsh conditions. According to United Nations (FAO) almost eighty percent farmers of sub Saharan Africa are growing cassava roots, but due to a variety of viral diseases the production of cassava is very low from last two years. With the help of data science, it is possible to diagnose and classify these types of viral diseases. Existing methods of disease detection require farmers to solicit the help of government-funded agricultural experts to visually inspect and diagnose the plants. Moreover, this process is labor-intensive, time taken, costly and impacting the production and supply cycle. As an added challenge, effective solutions for farmers must perform well under significant constraints since African farmers may only have access to mobile-quality cameras with low-bandwidth. The dataset which we use in this research is taken from Kaggle competition 2020. Dataset contains 21397 images of cassava plants which belongs to five different classes i.e., Cassava Bacterial Blight, Cassava Brown Streak Disease, Cassava Green Mottle, Cassava Mosaic Disease and Healthy leaves. In this work we have used augmentation technique to increase the samples for classification and balancing the uneven distribution of data for all classes and used deep learning model efficiennetB3 for identification classification of diseases and got 83.03% overall accuracy on test dataset with more than 90% individual accuracy of each class. We have developed a graphical user interface for using the model in more efficient way with the aim to help the industry for prediction of diseases during its initial stages.

The improved kernel fuzzy clustering method is used to classify the load data of the smart grid accurately. It lays a good foundation for the subsequent work of power load forecasting and provides a more efficient, safe, and reliable direction for the operation of the power system. Firstly, the collected power load data is preprocessed to reduce data redundancy and improve data quality. Secondly, the kernel fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm based on particle swarm optimization is used to cluster the load data with the same power consumption characteristics. Finally, the improved kernel fuzzy clustering method is compared with the fuzzy C-means clustering method through a simulation example to verify the effectiveness of this method.
