Semantic Coherence and NLP: Redesigning post-COVID Mental Health Diagnostics with CNNs and LSTMs

Pranav Gunhal — 2024-12-18

The COVID-19 pandemic has intensified the need for innovative, scalable diagnostic tools for mental health, given the surge in related disorders globally. This study presents a novel neural symbolic approach leveraging natural language processing (NLP) to analyze semantic coherence in text data, aimed at predicting mental health outcomes. Integrating convolutional neural networks (CNNs) with long short-term memory networks (LSTM) and an attention mechanism, this model excels in extracting and emphasizing critical linguistic features from vast datasets of online textual communications. Our evaluations show that the model achieves an accuracy of 92.4%, with precision, recall, and an F1-score significantly superior to traditional LSTM models. The ROC-AUC score of 0.92 highlights its effectiveness at distinguishing various mental health states, while the attention mechanism enhances the model’s interpretability, shedding light on key text features indicative of mental distress. This research underscores the potential of AI in enhancing mental health diagnostics in the context of current events, proposing a powerful tool for early detection and intervention.

Quick Sort Optimized for Non-decreasing Data set

Omar Khan Durrani — 2024-12-18

The Sorting Algorithm proposed by C.A.R Hoare in 1961 by name Quick sort, which is popularly known for being the fastest sorting algorithm. Quick sort is still being practiced in the field of computers systems and its applications. The Algorithm whose efficiency to sort random data set is represented in asymptotic notation as O(n log₂ n) and when quick sort algorithm has a input data set which is already Ordered then it takes a quadratic execution time which is considered as a worst case performance and this behavior is represented in asymptotic notation as O(n²). The worst case performance is due the scan over heads which occur over the pre-sorted data set, in other words the partitioning gets skewed due to recursive calls and hence results in a quadratic complexity. This research paper presents an algorithm which minimizes a worst case execution time making it linear when the input list is in non-decreasing order. The paper describes how the improvements are accommodated in the existing quick sort. A priori analysis of proposed algorithm for different cases is made along with a proof of correctness. Later the algorithm is verified for its correctness and asymptotic performance. The algorithm is implemented using C++ and also we have compared with other popular quick-sort version.

We compare traditional models such as decision trees and logistic regression with complex techniques such as support vector machines, random forests, and KNN and evaluate them on publicly available data. This hybrid approach uses random forest and decision tree classifiers, leveraging adaptive learning to improve model accuracy. Results showed high prediction accuracy for kidney disease and lung cancer , while prediction accuracy for heart disease was average . This difference indicates the need for better work and more information. Future studies will focus on improving cardiovascular models, addressing data uncertainty, and integrating predictive models into clinical practice to support early diagnosis and personalized treatment to improve patient outcomes. This study demonstrates the potential for machine learning to have a major impact on diagnosis and patient management.

Al-Based Signal Intelligence for Real-Time Threat Detection

Nirmala Kumari — 2024-12-18

Technology in AI and signal processing has changed signal intelligence (SIGINT) in recent years. This study examines AI-based Signal Intelligence (AI-SIGINT) systems for real-time threat detection in military, cyber security, and critical infrastructure protection. AI-SIGINT uses cutting-edge machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) algorithms to evaluate massive volumes of signal data from radio frequency (RF), satellite, and mobile networks to detect and neutralize threats in real time. AI-SIGINT systems autonomously monitor, intercept, and decode signal communications to quickly identify aberrant patterns that may indicate hostile activity or impending threats. A key component of AI-based signal intelligence is adaptive danger detection. Using reinforcement learning (RL) and anomaly detection, the system continuously evolves to improve threat perception. This adaptability detects sophisticated, changing threats like jamming attempts, frequency hopping, and cyber intrusions. This research also examines AI-driven SIGINT's ethical issues, including data privacy and unlawful surveillance. It also addresses technology issues like merging AI algorithms with SIGINT infrastructure and the necessity for high computational resources.

High Performance Approximate Multiplier using reversible logic gates

M.Narendra kumar — 2024-12-18

Reversible logic has previously been shown to cause higher power consumption and a significant amount of dissipated energy because of information loss in standard design methods. This project describes the approximate multiplier using Reversible logic gates. In this design, the reversible logic gates replace the half adder and full adders in the multiplier. It uses two RG(Reversible Gate) in place of single reversible gate. So that it reduces the garbage value produced, which helps to decrease the overall delay and power consumption. The proposed Approximate Multiplier uses the product’s least significant half as a constant compensation term and the remaining half is precisely calculated. This can be a effective alternative for exact multipliers in practical error-resilient applications and Digital Image Processing.

CRPA for Anti-jamming Capability

Rajpal Singh — 2024-12-18

Controlled Reception Pattern Antennas (CRPAs) are designed to optimize the reception and processing of GPS/GNSS signals, minimizing interference while maximizing accuracy. By leveraging multiple antenna elements and advanced signal processing techniques, CRPAs achieve these objectives effectively. These systems are increasingly being adopted, particularly in the Defense sector. CRPAs are highly efficient in countering jamming and spoofing, as they dynamically adjust to mitigate such disruptive signals. To implement null-steering and beamforming techniques, it is essential to determine the direction of the interference or jammer. With the widespread use of GPS in defense equipment, ensuring reliable GPS performance in mission-critical operations, especially in jamming environments, is vital. As such, studying this technology within systems that can provide anti-jamming capabilities for GPS-enabled devices—such as drones, GPS receivers, target acquisition systems in firearms, tanks, and helicopters—is crucial.
