One of the main challenges in the Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) is the noise. The performance of the ASR system reduces significantly if the speech is corrupted by noise. In spectrogram representation of a speech signal, after deleting low Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) elements, the incomplete spectrogram is obtained. In this case, the speech recognizer should make modifications to the spectrogram in order to restore the missing elements, which is one direction. In another direction, speech recognizer should be able to restore the missing elements due to deleting low SNR elements before performing the recognition. This is can be done using different spectrogram reconstruction methods. In this paper, the geometrical spectrogram reconstruction methods suggested by some researchers are implemented as a toolbox. In these geometrical reconstruction methods, the linear interpolation along time or frequency methods are used to predict the missing elements between adjacent observed elements in the spectrogram. Moreover, a new linear interpolation method using time and frequency together is presented. The CMU Sphinx III software is used in the experiments to test the performance of the linear interpolation reconstruction method. The experiments are done under different conditions such as different lengths of the window and different lengths of utterances. Speech corpus consists of 20 males and 20 females; each one has two different utterances are used in the experiments. As a result, 80% recognition accuracy is achieved with 25% SNR ratio.

Medicinal cupping is a traditional therapy which used by applying a cup on acu-points or cupping points and the pressure inside the cup is reduced so that the skin and superficial muscle layer is drawn into and held in the cup. Since all diseases and pains have their specific area to be cupped, most cupping practitioners usually recognize the cupping points based upon the disease and the patient's complaints. Hence, they will randomly choose the points upon request due to the money constraint. However, there is no mathematical approach on guaranteeing the handy method is optimized. Thus, in this paper, a graph model is proposed on finding the optimal number of cupping points for asthma disease via graph colouring approach. This mathematical model will further benefit to the biomathematics and medical fields, especially to the industrial cupping practitioners.

Malaysia is the largest exporter of Elaeis Guineensis (Palm oil) in the international market. Oil palm cultivation generates a significant amount of lignocellulosic biomass derived from empty fruit bunches (EFB) as waste product. This research focused on optimizing the mycelium growth in Pleurotus sp. cultivation by using EFB as a culture medium. The EFB was cut into the range of size of substrate (S) from 1.5 cm to 3.0 cm, soaked in water for overnight, applied steam treatment and incubated at the selected range of temperature (T) from 29 °C to 32 °C. The responses were mycelium extension rate (M) and nitrogen concentration in mycelium (N). The multi-objective optimisation of M and N requires the objective functions which represent both processes. For this type of problem, multi-objective genetic algorithm was chosen as the methodology, specifically using NSGA-II algorithm. Through the implementation of selected multi-objective genetic algorithm, it was able to produce the pareto front for optimising both nitrogen concentration and the extension rate of the mycelium. The highest nitrogen concentration and mycelium extension rate was from the result with crossover and mutation probability of 0.5 and 0.2. It produced 388.45 mg/L of nitrogen concentration and 0.370 cm/day of mycelium growth.

Cupping therapy also well known as Hijama is an ancient and holistic method for treatment variety of infirmities particularly cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension. In this method, suction mechanism used to create partial vacuum inside the cup that mobilizes the blood flow and promotes effective healing at the specific point. As practise, the selection of the points based is on patient's complaints. The aim of this study is to identify the least number yet the most effectiveness point at minimal cost to treat hypertension disease. The graph colouring method is applied, besides C# language is used to validate the result. The finding of this research indicates that the optimum number of hypertension medical cupping points is two.

Cognitive Computing (CC) is a contemporary field of fundamental intelligence theories and general AI technologies triggered by the transdisciplinary development in intelligence, computer, brain, knowledge, cognitive, robotic, and cybernetic sciences for engineering implementations. This paper presents a summary of the plenary panel (Part II) on the theoretical foundations of CI/CC and recent breakthroughs in AI engineering reported in the 20th IEEE International ICCI*CC Conference (ICCI*CC'21). The latest advances in CI and CC towards general AI are presented by twenty-two distinguished panelists. Strategic AI engineering applications in CI, CC, and cognitive systems are elaborated for abstract intelligence, cognitive robots, autonomous systems, intelligent vehicles, and safety-and-mission-critical systems.
