Anomaly detection(AD) has been extensively studied and applied across various scenarios in recent years. However, gaps remain between the current performance and the desired recognition accuracy required for practical *** paper analyzes two fundamental failure cases in the baseline AD model and identifies key reasons that limit the recognition accuracy of existing approaches. Specifically, by Case-1, we found that the main reason detrimental to current AD methods is that the inputs to the recovery model contain a large number of detailed features to be recovered, which leads to the normal/abnormal area has not/has been recovered into its original state. By Case-2, we surprisingly found that the abnormal area that cannot be recognized in image-level representations can be easily recognized in the feature-level representation. Based on the above observations, we propose a novel recover-then-discriminate(ReDi) framework for *** takes a self-generated feature map(e.g., histogram of oriented gradients) and a selected prompted image as explicit input information to address the identified in Case-1. Additionally, a feature-level discriminative network is introduced to amplify abnormal differences between the recovered and input representations. Extensive experiments on two widely used yet challenging AD datasets demonstrate that ReDi achieves state-of-the-art recognition accuracy.

IOUT (Internet of Underwater Things) relies on underwater acoustic sensors, which have limited resources such as battery power and bandwidth. The exchange of data among these sensors faces challenges like propagation delay, node displacement, and environmental errors, making network maintenance difficult. The objective of this study is to address the energy efficiency and performance issues in IOUT networks by proposing and evaluating an energy-efficient routing protocol called Efficient Cost Wakeup Routing Protocol (ECWRP). To achieve the objective, the study focuses on two key parameters: Cost and Duty Cycle. The Duty Cycle parameter helps in reducing undesirable impacts during underwater communications, improving the performance of the routing protocol. The Cost parameter is utilized to select the most efficient path for data transmission, considering factors such as transmitting power levels. The protocol is applied to a multi-hop mesh-based network. The proposed ECWRP routing protocol is assessed through simulations, demonstrating its superior efficiency compared to the Ride algorithm. By eliminating unnecessary handshaking and optimizing route selection, ECWRP significantly enhances energy efficiency and overall performance within the IoUT network. The study's findings on the enhanced energy efficiency and performance improvements achieved by the ECWRP protocol hold promising implications for the design and optimization of IoUT networks, paving the way for more sustainable and effective communication systems in underwater environments. In conclusion, the study demonstrates the effectiveness of the Efficient Cost Wakeup Routing Protocol (ECWRP) in enhancing energy efficiency and performance in multi-hop mesh-based IoUT networks. The protocol's utilization of the Duty Cycle parameter reduces undesirable impacts, while the Cost parameter enables the selection of the most efficient path for data transmission. The results confirm the superiority of the ECWRP protoc

Accurate skin disease detection is one of the most challenging tasks due to high-class imbalance and limited labeled datasets. Recently Deep Convolutional Neural Network (DCNN) with ensemble learning has achieved significant popularity in skin cancer classification. However, implementing DCNN models with ensemble learning is not feasible for deployment on portable diagnostic devices due to the limitation in computing resources and computing time. This paper proposes a Channel Attention and Adaptive Class Balanced Focal Loss function based lightweight Deep CNN model (CACBL-Net) for handling the issues of data imbalance and limited computing resources of portable diagnostic devices, such as mobile phones or tablets. Channel attention explores interdependencies between channels by recalibrating channel-wise feature responses. To deal with the issue of high-class imbalance, the proposed method used an adaptive class balance focal loss function which can quickly concentrate the model on complex cases while automatically downweighting the contribution of easy examples during training. The proposed CACBL-Net is validated on three popular skin cancer datasets which are HAM-10000, PAD-UFES-20, and MED-NODE. Dermoscopic, non-dermoscopic and smartphone images are taken from all three datasets for experimental work. The quantitative findings indicate that the proposed CACBL-Net model achieved a sensitivity of 90.60%, 91.88%, and 91.31% for the HAM-10000, PAD-UFES-20, and MED-NODE datasets, respectively. Additionally, the average prediction time per patient was recorded at 0.006, 0.010, and 0.011 s. These results demonstrate superior performance compared to other state-of-the-art deep learning models. The experimental finding suggested that the proposed method can achieve a significant performance at a low cost of computational resources and inference time, which makes it potentially feasible for deployment in portable diagnostic devices for automated diagnosis of skin lesions.

Stress has a remarkable impact on various cognitive functions, demanding timely and effective detection using strategies deployed across interdisciplinary domains. It influences decision-making, attention, learning, and problem-solving abilities. As a result, stress detection and modeling have become important areas of study in both psychology and computerscience. This study links the fields of psychology and machine learning to deal with the urgent requirement of accurate stress detection methodologies and highlights sleep patterns as a key indicator for stress detection, discussing a novel approach to understand and determine stress levels. Psychologists use affective states to measure stress, which refers to a sense of feeling an underlying emotional state. However, most stress classification work has been limited to user-dependent models, which new users cannot use without additional training. This can be a significant time burden for new users trying to predict their affective states. Therefore, it is critical to address basic mental health issues in children and adults to prevent them from developing more complex problems on account of undergoing stress. The medical field processes vast amounts of medical data;the machine learning algorithms sift through patterns that might escape the human eye. The machine learning algorithms act as detectives, able to spot correlations and bring out a sense of complex information. The machine learning algorithms reveal fine correlations and patterns, aiding in more precise and prompt diagnoses particularly to focus fundamental mental health issues in individuals of all ages. This research work deploys an enhanced Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), exhibiting an extensive feature analysis for processing medical datasets, resulting in improved effectiveness in predicting stress levels. This helps us to diagnose issues more accurately and swiftly which improves the patient outcomes. The proposed and enhanced MLP model undergoes stri
