In this work, we propose a comprehensive framework for speech emotion recognition that combines advanced data augmentation techniques and an innovative deep learning architecture to enhance model performance. Our data augmentation strategies, including noise addition, time stretching, pitch shifting, and time shifting, significantly diversify the training dataset, leading to improved generalization and robustness against real-world variations in speech. We introduce a novel deep learning model architecture based on Anti-Aliased Convolutional (AA-Conv1D) layers, which preserves spatial hierarchies and enhances the model's ability to capture fine-grained emotional nuances in speech signals. Experimental results demonstrate that our model outperforms state-of-the-art methods, achieving a weighted accuracy of 79.38%, which surpasses the performance of existing models, SepTr + LeRaC and EMix-NS.

Maintaining the health and production of mango farms depends on the early detection of illnesses in mango trees. Despite the vital role agriculture plays, it remains an industry receiving limited attention from the machine-learning community. A noteworthy challenge is the lack of standardized and openly accessible agricultural datasets, impeding researchers from fully leveraging the potential of advanced computational prediction tools. The study focuses on employing deep learning and image processing techniques for diagnosing prevalent mango leaf diseases in India. The goal is to enhance both the quality and quantity of agricultural production by implementing effective disease control measures upon identifying plant diseases. The automation of plant disease detection proves particularly beneficial, reducing the monitoring efforts required by large farms. Rapid identification of leaf diseases is crucial, given that leaves serve as a plant's primary source of nutrition. Notably, none of the seven different mango leaf illnesses that have been observed in India have ever been the subject of earlier research. In this study, we provide a lightweight Resnet50 model that can reliably classify healthy mango leaves and the seven discovered illnesses on mango leaves. The performance of our proposed lightweight Resnet-50 model is evaluated against many pre-trained models, such as Exception, Resnet101, and VGG16. The findings reveal that the lightweight Resnet-50 model achieves the highest testing accuracy, reaching an impressive 95%. This underscores the model's effectiveness in automating the identification of mango leaf diseases, offering a promising solution for improving agricultural practices in India.

We propose a new display method for visualizing flower models using a pseudo-holographic technique known as the Pepper's ghost illusion. This classic optical illusion technique creates the appearance of floating objects by reflecting them off a transparent panel, thereby producing a convincing visual effect that simulates three-dimensionality. In our approach, we utilized this illusion to display six distinct flower models obtained from a comprehensive photogrammetry archive of various plant species. These models were rendered to overlay onto a transparent glass vase, enhancing the realism of quality. To facilitate user interaction with the displayed models, we incorporated a dept. sensor (Intel D415) to track the user's hand position. A user study revealed that participants were notably attracted to the display, indicating successful capture of their attention. Feedback, however, suggested that the system requires enhancements in usability and dept. perception to improve the overall user experience. Our future work includes addressing these limitations by developing a larger display setup that could accommodate more complex interactions and by integrating motion-parallax techniques to enhance the three-dimensional view. This could be implemented using head-tracking technology, further advancing the effectiveness of the pseudo-holographic display.

Blood pressure (BP) is a key indicator of cardiovascular health, with hypertension leading to significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Continuous monitoring of BP is essential for early detection of cardiovascular disease, however current tools are either cumbersome, unreliable, or not suited for long-term use. Traditional cuff-based BP measurement, while reliable, is impractical for continuous monitoring. Recent advances using photoplethysmography (PPG) waveforms offer an alternative, but they face challenges such as limited interpretability, high computational complexity, and susceptibility to motion artifacts. In this paper, we introduce a novel multi-wavelength optical sensing framework designed for calibration-free wearable blood pressure monitoring. Our system utilizes a broad spectrum of wavelengths and interpretable features, combined with machine learning, to estimate systolic (SBP), diastolic (DBP), and mean arterial pressure (MAP). The framework was tested in a proof-of-concept study involving 9 subjects across varied postures and BP levels, demonstrating accuracy comparable to standard cuff-based techniques. This approach eliminates the need for continuous calibration and provides a scalable, interpretable solution for real-time, wearable BP monitoring.

Typical autonomous driving systems are a combination of machine learning algorithms (often involving neural networks) and classical feedback controllers. Whilst significant progress has been made in recent years on the neural network side of these systems, only limited progress has been made on the feedback controller side. Often, the feedback control gains are simply passed from paper to paper with little re-tuning taking place, even though the changes to the neural networks can alter the vehicle's closed loop dynamics. The aim of this paper is to highlight the limitations of this approach; it is shown that re-tuning the feedback controller can be a simple way to improve autonomous driving performance. To demonstrate this, the PID gains of the longitudinal controller in the TCP autonomous vehicle algorithm are tuned. This causes the driving score in CARLA to increase from 73.21 to 77.38, with the results averaged over 16 driving scenarios. Moreover, it was observed that the performance benefits were most apparent during challenging driving scenarios, such as during rain or night time, as the tuned controller led to a more assertive driving style. These results demonstrate the value of developing both the neural network and feedback control policies of autonomous driving systems simultaneously, as this can be a simple and methodical way to improve autonomous driving system performance and robustness.

In the digital age, managing the exponential growth of textual data while ensuring security in cloud environments is a significant challenge. DEDUCT introduces a secure data deduplication system utilizing Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for both encryption and decryption processes, aimed at enhancing storage efficiency and data security. By using AES, the system ensures that textual data stored in the cloud remains confidential and protected from unauthorized access. The proposed framework delineates specific roles for cloud administrators, users, owners, and potential attackers, each with clearly defined functionalities. For instance, owners can securely upload and manage files, authorize user access, and perform file audits, while users can request access to these files under stringent security protocols. The SQL database supports these operations, maintaining the integrity and availability of the data. Studies indicate that data deduplication can reduce storage needs by 90-95%, highlighting the effectiveness of such systems in managing large-scale data efficiently while ensuring robust security measures. This approach not only enhances storage efficiency but also significantly mitigates the risks associated with data breaches, making DEDUCT a vital solution for secure cloud storage environments.
