Diabetic Macular Edema (DME) is an advanced symptom of Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) and can lead to irreversible vision loss. Macular Edema (ME) is the swelling of the macula, the part of the eye accountable for thorough central vision. The utilization of image processing in the detection of diabetic macular edema (DME) plays a crucial role in the field of medical imaging, effectively reducing the time and manual effort required by medical specialists to identify this disease. In this paper, we proposed a method that uses digital fundus images to analyze the swelling of the macula. The proposed algorithm consists of four steps, i.e., (i) retinal image dataset collection, (ii) retinal image pre-processing, (iii) feature extraction, and (iv) classification to categorize the disease into three different stages, i.e., normal, stage 1 (mild) and stage 2 (severe). The proposed method is tested on three databases, i.e., MESSIDOR, DMED, and the local dataset AFIO obtained from the local hospital in Pakistan. We use three parameters to check the validity of the proposed algorithm, i.e., visual inspection, accuracy, and area under calculation time. Our method achieves an average accuracy of 96.07 % with a sensitivity of 93.74 % and specificity of 97.32%. We also compare our results with other proposed methods, which shows our method performs better.

Code smell detection and refactoring are crucial to sustain quality, reduce complexity and increase the efficiency of a software application. Code smells are observable patterns in the source code of a program that indicate deeper structural issues. Most traditional methods for code smell classification rely exclusively on structural object-oriented metrics and manually-designed heuristics. We propose a novel multimodal deep learning approach that combines structural and semantic information to detect two commonly-encountered code smells: Long Parameter Lists and Switch Statements. The presented architecture applies transfer learning on DistilBERT to generate vector embeddings representing classes and methods concatenated with numerical metrics for joint feature extraction using CNN, to build a complex mapping between the features and predict the output as smelly or non-smelly. Subsequently, to perform a holistic comparative analysis we also implement two multimodal machine learning pipelines, the first employs a sci-kit learn TF-IDF Vectorizer with Random Forest Classifier, and the second merges CNN with Bi-LSTM. Our approach achieves an accuracy of 91.2% as corroborated by experimental evaluation, outperforming the state-of-the-art techniques.

A set of orthogonal multipartite quantum states are called (distinguishability-based) genuinely nonlocal if they are locally indistinguishable across any bipartition of the subsystems. In this work, we consider the problem of constructing small genuinely nonlocal sets consisting of generalized Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states in multipartite systems. For system (C2)⊗N where N is large, using the language of group theory, we show that a tiny proportion Θ(1/2N) of the states among the N-qubit GHZ basis suffice to exhibit genuine nonlocality. Similar arguments also hold for the canonical generalized GHZ bases in systems (Cd)⊗N, wherever d is even and N is large. What is more, moving to the condition that any fixed N is given, we show that d+1 genuinely nonlocal generalized GHZ states exist in (Cd)⊗N, provided the local dimension d is sufficiently large. As an additional merit, within and beyond an asymptotic sense, the latter result also indicates some evident limitations of the “trivial othogonality-preserving local measurements” (TOPLM) technique that has been utilized frequently for detecting genuine nonlocality.

Addressing expanded surveillance scopes, cross-device person re-identification emerges as a crucial issue. Traditional approaches to re-identification and tracking confront challenges in feature matching challenges, and fail to harness the potential of edge computing environments, which offer viable solutions to bandwidth and latency constraints. The paper introduces a novel, edge computing and shared cache-based method for person re-identification and tracking. In this framework, edge nodes exploit deep learning method to execute image recognition for person re-identification and trajectory tracking. Edge nodes are deployed within a tri-layered architecture, encompassing Hierarchical Edge Cloud (HEC), Mobile Edge Computing (MEC), and Central Cloud (CC). Emphasizing part feature significance for person re-identification, the approach employs a refined Part-based Convolutional Baseline model guided by the triplet loss function. Experimental outcomes validate the high re-identification precision and efficacious load balancing capability of this method in person re-identification and tracking operations. Achieving a harmonized trade-off between task accuracy and response time, the proposed framework offers a robust solution for person re-identification and tracking within edge computing contexts.
