This study explores the effectiveness of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) in automatically classifying skin cancer for e-health applications. The trained model showcases impressive performance by leveraging the HAM10000 dataset, which includes a wide range of skin lesion images from seven different classes. The parameters and architecture of the CNN model are presented in a systematic manner, providing valuable insights into the reasoning behind its design. The model is optimized using the Adam optimizer and annealing techniques to ensure efficient convergence. The model’s performance is assessed on validation and test datasets, showcasing an accuracy of 78.55% and 76.49%, respectively, for skin cancer classification. This study highlights the significant potential of CNN as a powerful tool for automating the diagnosis of skin cancer, which is in line with the growing trend of using deep learning for medical image analysis.

In the rapidly advancing field of intelligent transportation systems, integrating artificial intelligence (AI) with edge computing presents a promising way to enhance the safety and efficiency of the Internet of Vehicles (IoV). This study explores and presents a deep learning-based object detection model within an edge computing framework which aims to facilitate real time object detection in self driving cars. Using an urban traffic scenarios-based dataset, our research shows the ability of the model to accurately detect and classify various objects important for autonomous driving. The YOLOv8 model is used in this work due to its optimal balance between accuracy and computational efficiency. This model has also demonstrated its worth by achieving good performance results, including an average precision of 0.79, a recall of 0.62, and an F1-score of 0.69. The results are demonstrated by a detailed confusion matrix, highlighting the model’s effectiveness in complex driving environments and underscoring its reliability for in-vehicle deployment. By implementing AI directly on edge devices within vehicles, our approach might be helpful in significantly reducing latency, boosting decision-making speed, and enhancing data privacy by minimising dependence on cloud processing. The findings not only support the model’s capabilities but also illustrate the practical benefits of edge intelligence in autonomous vehicles. These benefits, such as faster decision making and improved data privacy, contribute effectively to the IoV infrastructure. This study marks a substantial step toward recognizing the possibility of AI-enhanced edge computing in driving the next generation of autonomous vehicle technology.

In recent times, the cryptocurrency market has emerged as one of the fastest-growing financial markets worldwide. It is, however, known for its high volatility and illiquidity compared to traditional markets such as equities, foreign exchange, and commodities. This inherent risk creates uncertainty among investors. The aim of this research is to forecast the level of risk in the cryptocurrency market. To assist cryptocurrency investors in navigating these challenges, we propose an approach that involves calculating the risk factor based on existing parameters. We employed various machine learning algorithms, including CNN, LSTM, BiLSTM, and GRU, to predict the risk factor in twenty elements of the cryptocurrency market. Through extensive experimentation, we developed a new model that outperformed existing models, achieving the highest Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) value of 1.3229 and the lowest RMSE value of 0.0089. Furthermore, we tested the generalization ability of our proposed model on a new dataset, different from the one used for training. Even with this new dataset, our model displayed robust performance. In contrast, the other existing models achieved higher RMSE values, with the highest being 14.5092 and the lowest 0.02769. By adopting our approach, investors can trade more confidently in complex and challenging financial assets such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin. Our proposed model demonstrates superior performance and generalization capabilities, providing valuable insights for participants in the cryptocurrency market.

This paper deals with the problem of coverage path planning for multiple UAVs in disjoint regions. For this purpose, a spiral-coverage path planning algorithm is proposed. Additionally, task assignment methods for multi-region inspection with a swarm of UAVs are applied. The centralized system architecture is described, and an adaptive sliding mode controller is designed. Furthermore, we evaluate the performance of the proposed techniques by obtaining numerical results and simulations with the controller. The results show that the spiral pattern optimizes the cost of the mission and improves the task distribution of the mission planning system. Additionally, the performance of the proposed controller is robust to simulated disturbances.
In this paper we study the problem of estimating the semi-generalized pose of a partially calibrated camera, i.e., the pose of a perspective camera with unknown focal length w.r.t. a generalized camera, from a hybrid ...

Traditional centralized multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) algorithms are sometimes unpractical in complicated applications due to non-interactivity between agents, the curse of dimensionality, and computation complexity. Hence, several decentralized MARL algorithms are motivated. However, existing decentralized methods only handle the fully cooperative setting where massive information needs to be transmitted in training. The block coordinate gradient descent scheme they used for successive independent actor and critic steps can simplify the calculation, but it causes serious bias. This paper proposes a exible fully decentralized actor-critic MARL framework, which can combine most of the actor-critic methods and handle large-scale general cooperative multi-agent settings. A primal-dual hybrid gradient descent type algorithm framework is designed to learn individual agents separately for decentralization. From the perspective of each agent, policy improvement and value evaluation are jointly optimized, which can stabilize multi-agent policy learning. Furthermore, the proposed framework can achieve scalability and stability for the large-scale environment. This framework also reduces information transmission by the parameter sharing mechanism and novel modeling-other-agents methods based on theory-of-mind and online supervised learning. Sufficient experiments in cooperative Multi-agent Particle Environment and StarCraft II show that the proposed decentralized MARL instantiation algorithms perform competitively against conventional centralized and decentralized methods.

Most state-of-the-art data-driven grasp sampling methods propose stable and collision-free grasps uniformly on the target object. For bin-picking, executing any of those reachable grasps is sufficient. However, for completing specific tasks, such as squeezing out liquid from a bottle, we want the grasp to be on a specific part of the object's body while avoiding other locations, such as the cap. This work presents a generative grasp sampling network, VCGS, capable of constrained 6-Degrees of Freedom (DoF) grasp sampling. In addition, we also curate a new dataset designed to train and evaluate methods for constrained grasping. The new dataset, called CONG, consists of over 14 million training samples of synthetically rendered point clouds and grasps at random target areas on 2889 objects. VCGS is benchmarked against GraspNet, a state-of-the-art unconstrained grasp sampler, in simulation and on a real robot. The results demonstrate that VCGS achieves a 10-15% higher grasp success rate than the baseline while being 2–3 times as sample efficient. Supplementary material is available on our project website.
