Modern educational environments require effective and efficient systems to track attendance and participation to ensure better learning outcomes and increased productivity. Traditional systems often mark attendance automatically, regardless of the level of student engagement. This paper introduces a novel system, “Revolutionizing Classroom Engagement with Face Recognition and Attention-Based Attendance,” designed to detect multiple faces in real time and automate the process of attendance marking based on students' attention levels. In contrast to traditional methods, attendance is only recorded when students surpass a predefined attention threshold (e.g. 75%) based on their focus during the lecture. This approach fosters a more dynamic, interactive, and focused learning environment. The proposed system leverages advanced face detection and recognition techniques, integrating Haar Cascade Classifiers, Deep Learning-based Face Detection, and K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) to offer robust and accurate identification even in large, diverse classrooms. Real-time video processing is handled by OpenCV, which captures and analyzes classroom footage, while NumPy processes complex numerical computations for image data. Pandas is utilized for efficient attendance logging, storing data in easily accessible CSV files. The system's attention-tracking feature is another key innovation, as it analyzes students' gaze and behavioral cues to assess their level of engagement. This ensures that attendance is only recorded when students are genuinely focused and attentive. Designed to be scalable and non-intrusive the system can be adapted to classrooms of varying sizes and is easily incorporated into existing educational frameworks. By providing accurate attendance tracking and engagement analysis, the system not only simplifies administrative tasks but also contributes to fostering a smarter, more engaging, and more productive classroom environment.

Genetic sequence identification from electrical characterization of single molecules has emerged as a promising alternative to traditional approaches. Since electrical data on single molecules is extremely noisy due to the limitations of even state-of-the-art approaches, achieving high detection rates is challenging, particularly when the task involves being able to distinguish a sequence from its single base-pair mismatches. To address this issue, we propose an architecture based on combining a convolutional neural network with an ensemble learning method, XGBoost. In addition, four different input feature representations are considered, 1D conductance probability distributions and 2D conductance versus distance probability distributions which can be viewed as images, with or without averaging over the experimental parameters. The with averaging case corresponds to feature matrices derived from mixed datasets. We find that 2D probability distributions are helpful with respect to classifier accuracy, but averaged conductance probability distributions are much more impactful and significantly enhance prediction accuracy. Our quantitative analysis of multiple sequences shows an impressive performance increase of approximately 10% for all sequences. While the basis of our analysis is conductance data of DNA strands and their single base-pair mismatches, our method is generally applicable to other single-molecule identification based on their conductance.

Automatic Speaker Identification (ASI) is so crucial for security. Current ASI systems perform well in quiet and clean surroundings. However, in noisy situations, the robustness of an ASI system against additive noise and interference is a crucial factor. An investigation of the impact of interference on ASI system performance is presented in this paper, which introduces algorithms for achieving high ASI system performance. The objective is to resist the interference of various forms. This paper presents two models for the ASI task in the presence of interference. The first one depends on Normalized Pitch Frequency (NPF) and Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCCs) as extracted features and Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) as a classifier. In this model, we investigate the utilization of a Discrete Transform (DT), such as Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT), Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) and Discrete Sine Transform (DST), to increase the robustness of extracted features against different types of degradation through exploiting the sub-band decomposition characteristics of DWT and the energy compaction property of DCT and DST. This is achieved by extracting features directly from contaminated speech signals in addition to features extracted from discrete transformed signals to create hybrid feature vectors. The enhancement techniques, such as Spectral Subtraction (SS), Winer Filter, and adaptive Wiener filter, are used in a preprocessing stage to eliminate the effect of the interference on the ASI system. In the second model, we investigate the utilization of Deep Learning (DL) based on a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) with speech signal spectrograms and their Radon transforms to increase the robustness of the ASI system against interference effects. One of this paper goals is to introduce a comparison between the two models and build a more robust ASI system against severe interference. The experimental results indicate that the two proposed models lead to satisfa
