PPG signal is a valuable resource for continuous heart rate monitoring; however, this signal suffers from artifact movements, which is particularly relevant during physical exercise and makes this biomedical signal difficult to use for heart rate detection during those activities. The purpose of this study was to develop learning models to determine heart rate using data from wearables (PPG and acceleration signals) and dealing with noise during physical exercise. Learning models based on CNNs and LSTMs were developed to predict the heart rate. The PPG signal was combined with data from accelerometers trying to overcome the noise movement on the PPG signal. Two datasets were used on this work: the 2015 IEEE Signal Processing Cup (SPC) dataset was used for training and testing, and another dataset was used for validation of the learning model (PPG-DaLiA dataset). The predictions obtained by the learning model represented a mean average error of 7.033±5.376 bpm for the SCP dataset, while a mean average error of 9.520±8.443 bpm for the validation set. The use of acceleration data increases the performance of the learning models on the prediction of the heart rate, showing the benefits of using this source of data to overcome the noise movement problem on the PPG signal. The combination of PPG signal with acceleration data could allow the learning models to use more information regarding the motion artifacts that affect the PPG and improve performance on the physiological event detections, which will largely spread the use of wearables on the healthcare applications for continuous monitor the physiological state allowing early and accurate detection of pathological events.

Generative diffusion models like Stable Diffusion are at the forefront of the thriving field of generative models today, celebrated for their robust training methodologies and high-quality photorealistic generation capabilities. These models excel in producing rich content, establishing them as essential tools in the industry. Building on this foundation, the field has seen the rise of personalized content synthesis as a particularly exciting application. However, the large model sizes and iterative nature of inference make it difficult to deploy personalized diffusion models broadly on local devices with heterogeneous computational power. To address this, we propose a novel framework for efficient multi-user offloading of personalized diffusion models. This framework accommodates a variable number of users, each with different computational capabilities, and adapts to the fluctuating computational resources available on edge servers. To enhance computational efficiency and alleviate the storage burden on edge servers, we propose a tailored multi-user hybrid inference approach. This method splits the inference process for each user into two phases, with an optimizable split point. Initially, a cluster-wide model processes low-level semantic information for each user's prompt using batching techniques. Subsequently, users employ their personalized models to refine these details during the later phase of inference. Given the constraints on edge server computational resources and users' preferences for low latency and high accuracy, we model the joint optimization of each user's offloading request handling and split point as an extension of the Generalized Quadratic Assignment Problem (GQAP). Our objective is to maximize a comprehensive metric that balances both latency and accuracy across all users. To solve this NP-hard problem, we transform the GQAP into an adaptive decision sequence, model it as a Markov decision process, and develop a hybrid solution combining dee

The field of emotion recognition in artificial intelligence focuses on enabling machines to comprehend and react to the range of emotions experienced by humans. This paper presents a novel approach that integrates the Convolution Neural Network (CNN) with audio and visual modalities. The study employs the RAVDESS database as a resource to train two distinct models for the analysis of both video and audio data. When it comes to audio pre-processing, advanced signal-processing techniques are applied to extract relevant elements and capture basic acoustic characteristics. A one-dimensional Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architecture receives the audio data as input, enabling the model to learn complicated patterns and representations from the audio domain. In the context of video pre-processing, sophisticated algorithms are employed to extract essential facial characteristics. In order to capture the changing periods of facial expressions, the video frames are analyzed using a three-dimensional CNN framework following that they have been compressed and converted to grayscale. The fusion technique involves concatenating and extending the outputs of the audio and visual models. The fused features are subsequently sent into a softmax layer, which facilitates the development of a resilient emotion identification system.

The dependence on digital images is increasing in different fields. i.e, education, business, medicine, or defense, as they are shifting towards the online paradigm. So, there is a dire need for computers and other similar machines to interpret information related to these images and help the users understand the meaning of it. This has been achieved with the help of automatic Image captioning using different prediction models, such as machine learning and deep learning models. However, the problem with the traditional models, especially machine learning models, is that they may not generate a caption that accurately represents that Image. Although deep learning methods are better for generating captions of an image, it is still an open research area that requires a lot of work. Therefore, a model proposed in this research uses transformers with the help of attention layers to encode and decode the image token. Finally, it generates the image caption by identifying the objects along with their colours. The fliker8k and Conceptual Captions datasets are used to train this model, which contains images and captions. The fliker8k contains 8,092 images, each with five captions, and Conceptual Captions contains more than 3 million images, each with one caption. The contribution of this presented work is that it can be utilized by different companies, which require the interpretation of diverse images automatically and the naming of the images to describe some scenario or descriptions related to the images. In the future, the accuracy can be increased by increasing the number of images and captions or incorporating different deep-learning techniques.
