The world has altered since the World Health Organization (WHO) designated (COVID-19) a worldwide epidemic. Everything in society, from professions to routines, has shifted to accommodate the new reality. The World Health Organization warns that future pandemics of infectious diseases are likely and that people should be ready for the worst. Therefore, this study presents a framework for tracking and monitoring COVID-19 using a Deep Learning (DL) perfect. The suggested framework utilises UAVs (such as a quadcopter or drone) equipped with artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) to keep an eye on and combat the spread of COVID-19. AI/IoT for COVID-19 nursing and a drone-based IoT scheme for sterilisation make up the bulk of the infrastructure. The proposed solution is based on the use of a current camera installed in a face-shield or helmet for use in emergency situations like pandemics. The developed AI algorithm processes the thermal images that have been detected using multi-scale similar convolution blocks (MPCs) and Res blocks that are trained using residual learning. When infected cases are detected, the helmet's embedded Internet of Things system can trigger the drone system to intervene. The infected population is eradicated with the help of the drone's sterilisation process. The developed system undergoes experimental evaluation, and the findings are presented. The developed outline delivers a novel and well-organized arrangement for monitoring and combating COVID-19 and additional future epidemics, as evidenced by the results

Malware detection constitutes a fundamental step in safe and secure computational systems, including industrial systems and the Internet of Things (IoT). Modern malware detection is based on machine learning methods that classify software samples as malware or benign, based on features that are extracted from the samples through static and/or dynamic analysis. State-of-the-art malware detection systems employ Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) whose accuracy increases as more data are analyzed and exploited. However, organizations also have significant privacy constraints and concerns which limit the data that they share with centralized security providers or other organizations, despite the malware detection accuracy improvements that can be achieved with the aggregated data. In this paper we investigate the effectiveness of federated learning (FL) methods for developing and distributing aggregated DNNs among autonomous interconnected organizations. We analyze a solution where multiple organizations use independent malware analysis platforms as part of their Security Operations Centers (SOCs) and train their own local DNN model on their own private data. Exploiting cross-silo FL, we combine these DNNs into a global one which is then distributed to all organizations, achieving the distribution of combined malware detection models using data from multiple sources without sample or feature sharing. We evaluate the approach using the EMBER benchmark dataset and demonstrate that our approach effectively reaches the same accuracy as the non-federated centralized DNN model, which is above 93%.

Agriculture is one of the most important sectors of the Indian economy, with a major contribution towards the country's GDP. The agricultural sector in India is still predominantly based on traditional farming methods, which makes it challenging for farmers to keep up with the ever-changing market prices of crops. In recent years, data-driven models have emerged as a powerful tool for crop price prediction. This paper aims to predict the prices of coconuts in India using Decision tree regression, gradient Boost regressor, random forest regressor and Extreme gradient boosting (XGBOOST) models. The study utilizes monthly coconut price data from 2010 to 2022. The results show that the xgboost model has the best performance, followed by the Gradient boosting and regression models. The findings of this study can help policymakers, farmers, and traders make informed decisions regarding coconut farming and trading.

Recently, copyright infringement crimes avoid crackdowns and investigations in various ways, such as operating servers overseas or using cloud services and disguising the IP of the server. Therefore, appropriate countermeasures are needed. In this paper, we propose a method for determining illegal distribution of copyright-infringing streaming videos using cloud services that quickly determines whether an illegal digital content is being served. Using this method, there is an advantage in that copyright infringing content sites using cloud services can be quickly found and blocked

LiDAR technology has rapidly advanced, offering highly accurate solutions for tree geometry estimation, which is particularly valuable in agriculture and forestry. Its ability to capture precise 2D and 3D data has revolutionized tree detection and measurement. In Eucalyptus plantations, continuous monitoring is critical to maximizing growth, enhancing paper production, and mitigating environmental damage. However, existing solutions face challenges in real-time monitoring due to factors such as parasitic interference, low-light conditions, and uneven terrain. In this work, we present a novel, end-to-end framework that enhances Eucalyptus tree measurement and monitoring. Our framework significantly improves data collection efficiency by allowing measurements at walking speed, reducing measurement distance by 50% compared to traditional manual approaches. This system integrates 2D-LiDAR with additional environmental sensors to extract key tree parameters, including circumference, position, and tree count. The collected data is stored in real-time and uploaded to a centralized server for further analysis. Experimental evaluations across 160 trees, under five distinct farm conditions, demonstrate that our system achieves 89% accuracy in tree diameter estimation and 98.5% accuracy in tree counting, significantly outperforming traditional methods. These results establish our framework as a highly effective solution for improving the accuracy and efficiency of tree monitoring in challenging environments.

The availability of high-quality datasets play a crucial role in advancing research and development especially, for safety critical and autonomous systems. In this paper, we present AssistTaxi, a comprehensive novel dataset which is a collection of images for runway and taxiway analysis. The dataset comprises of more than 300,000 frames of diverse and carefully collected data, gathered from Melbourne (MLB) and Grant-Valkaria (X59) general aviation airports. The importance of AssistTaxi lies in its potential to advance autonomous operations, enabling researchers and developers to train and evaluate algorithms for efficient and safe taxiing. Researchers can utilize AssistTaxi to benchmark their algorithms, assess performance, and explore novel approaches for runway and taxiway analysis. Addition-ally, the dataset serves as a valuable resource for validating and enhancing existing algorithms, facilitating innovation in autonomous operations for aviation. We also propose an initial approach to label the dataset using a contour based detection and line extraction technique.

We present Paramanu (which means "atom" in multiple Indian languages), a family of novel language models for Indian languages. It is a collection of auto-regressive monolingual, bilingual, and multilingual Indian language models pretrained from scratch, currently covering 10 Indian languages (Assamese, Bangla, Hindi, Konkani, Maithili, Marathi, Odia, Sanskrit, Tamil, Telugu) across 5 scripts (Bangla, Devanagari, Odia, Tamil, Telugu). The models are pretrained with a context size of 1024 on a single GPU, and are of varying sizes ranging from 13.29 M to 367.5 M parameters. We proposed a RoPE embedding scaling method that enables us to pretrain language models from scratch at larger sequence length context size than the equivalent GPU memory. We have also developed an efficient novel most advanced Indic tokenizer using combination of BPE and Unigram, mBharat, that can even tokenize unseen languages written in the same script and also in Roman script. mBharat tokenizer has the least fertility score for Indian languages (1.25 for Hindi) among LLMs. We also proposed language specific tokenization for multilingual models and domain specific tokenization for monolingual language models. In order to avoid the "curse of multi-linguality" in our multilingual mParamanu model, we pretrained on comparable corpora by typological grouping using the same script. From our results, we observed the language transfer phenomenon from low resource to high resource within languages of the same script and typology. We performed human evaluation of our pretrained models for open end text generation on grammar, coherence, creativity, and factuality metrics for Bangla, Hindi, and Sanskrit. Our Bangla, Hindi, and Sanskrit models outperformed GPT-3.5-Turbo (ChatGPT), Bloom 7B, LLaMa-2 7B, OPT 6.7B, GPTJ 6B, GPTNeo 1.3B, GPT2-XL large language models (LLMs) by a large margin despite being smaller in size by 64 to 20 times compared to standard 7B LLMs. To run inference on our pretrained models, CP

Cultural Tourism (CT) is a significant element of today’s economy, accounting for around 37% of the total tourist industry and expanding at a pace of over 15% each year. This function and economic impact can benefit some EU and non-EU locations and areas with high cultural, social, and environmental potential. Other synergistic variables such as know-how, Information Communication Technologies (ICTs), gastronomy, identity, local culture, values, intangible legacy, or other characteristics also contribute to this influence. The work presented in this paper is part of the Social Innovation and TEchnologies for Sustainable Growth through Participative Cultural TOURism (TExTOUR) project, which brings together partners from the quintuple social innovation helix (knowledge, business, society, government, and entrepreneurs) to co-design, validate, and scale up policies and strategies that have a positive impact on socioeconomic territorial development based on cultural tourism. TExTOUR collaborates with eight CT Pilots in lesser-known destinations to develop collaborative work methodologies for developing CT strategies for local sites, utilizing ICTs and social innovation tools. The CT-Labs assist stakeholders in putting CT ad hoc strategies and action plans into action, monitoring them, and validating them. As a result, a technological platform (ICT tool) is presented in this paper, with its components outlined.
