Buildings are significant contributors to global energy consumption. Maintaining comfortable indoor temperatures while reducing energy consumption are conflicting objectives. Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) is a promising area of research for building Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system optimization. In this study an open-source framework Building Optimization Testing Framework (BOPTEST), which is a virtual testbed that help comparison different control strategies for evaluation of DRL control methods is used. A Proportional-Integral (PI) controller is used to benchmark the DRL methods. A single zone residential building of 192 m 2 with a radial heating system and a heat pump in a climate zone with high heating requirement with dynamic electricity prices with prices varying every 15 min based on demand is chosen for implementing different control strategies. On comparing Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (DDPG), Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) and Twin Delay DDPG (TD3) based DRL controllers and the baseline controller, the DDPG based controller reduced energy consumption by 97.3 % and operating cost by 17.7 % during the peak heating period with reference to baseline method. Then on analyzing the impact of inclusion of forecast parameters occupancy, solar irradiance, and electricity prices over the period 3, 6 and 12 hours in DDPG based controller. The prediction for 3 hours gave the greatest reduction in thermal discomfort of 99.7 % and prediction for 12 hours gave maximum reduction in cost by 30.4 % but resulted in only 82% reduction in thermal comfort when compared with baseline method indicating that longer prediction horizon is not necessarily results in better performance.

Identifying handwritten words poses a complicated problem owing to the variances in handwriting styles and the possible noise and distortions present in the data. The performance of used deep learning and traditional machine learning handwriting recognition methods for recognizing handwritten words is studied in this paper and the advantages of using deep learning are discussed. In particular, neural network models such as CNN and 2DLSTM networks had a great work in this area. In contrast, we detect whole handwritten words without the need of segments into standalone characters. The CNNs are used for feature extraction, the Bidirectional LSTMs for sequence prediction and output is decoded via a CTC layer. The model was evaluated over the IAM words dataset from the IAM handwriting database, achieving 87% accuracy and a character error rate of 7.77%. In addition, we experimented with ML techniques, including SVM, RF has got an accuracy of 72% and 80% accuracies, and a Bayesian network of 61% accuracy, to provide a comparative analysis.

Detecting credit card fraud is a critical challenge in the modern financial landscape, where robust and efficient solutions are essential to mitigate losses and safeguard consumers. This research evaluates and contrasts three primary approaches to this issue: Machine Learning (ML), Deep Learning (DL), and Bayesian Networks (BN). Using publicly available datasets, several ML techniques, including Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machines (SVM), Random Forests, Decision Trees, and XGBoost, were assessed alongside DL models such as Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) and Deep Neural Networks (DNNs). Additionally, a Bayesian Network was employed to analyze causal relationships between fraud-related features, offering an interpretable probabilistic framework. While ML and DL approaches achieved high performance regarding accuracy, precision, and recall, the Bayesian Network distinguished itself by providing enhanced interpretability and reliability. This study highlights the complementary strengths of these methods and the potential for their integration to develop adaptive and efficient fraud detection systems

Colorectal cancer (CRC) stands as the second most prevalent cause of cancer deaths, and its incidence is rising over time. Identifying key genes is essential for diagnosing and developing effective therapeutic strategies for cancer. Several studies were conducted to determine the candidate genes of CRC but this is still not sufficient and further research is needed in this area. Thus, we aimed to identify the key candidate genes of CRC using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset, applying the Kruskal-Wallis test and Bonferroni correction machine learning techniques. We successfully identified 9 candidate genes, including CALB2, GRP, KRAS, MLH1, NPR3, PPFIA4, SOX11, STAC2, and TRPA1, from 20518 genes of CRC using our model. In addition, we used bioinformatics frameworks to identify signaling pathways, gene ontological pathways, and PPI networks that reflect the functions of these candidate genes. We found 9 significant signaling pathways, 12 ontological pathways, and 3 hub genes for CRC. The diagnostic effectiveness of the candidate genes was evaluated through the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, and all candidate genes showed good performance according to area under the curve (AUC) values. Notably, the gene MLH1 demonstrated the highest AUC of .91. In fine, the findings of this study may play a role in disease management and offer a foundation for further laboratory investigations to uncover potential therapeutic targets for CRC treatment.
