Automatic synthesis of realistic images is complex; even cutting-edge AI and machine learning systems sometimes suffer from not fulfilling this expectation. However, the development of image processing has made it possible to perform operations on an image to improve or extract information from it and synthesize images from textual descriptions, making this a prominent area of study. Based on the idea of text-guided image production, the image inpainting task is replacing the damaged parts of an image with new, appropriate features that make sense in the given context. Researchers in this area have made some encouraging advances using neural image inpainting techniques. In contrast to previously developed text-guided image production methods, inpainting models must first compare the semantic content of the provided text to the remaining portion of the image to determine the semantic information for the missing section. Providing a mask and a text prompt with the information you need to make the desired changes can alter certain parts of an image. To boost the semantic similarity between the produced image and the text, an image-text matching loss is utilised. Further research is needed to resolve the challenge of guessing the missed content with only the context pixels. We propose a computationally efficient system to perform image inpainting on synthetic images that have been generated from textual data while ensuring visual coherence and accuracy.

It is shown that the classification model has achieved higher Activity recognition rates with respect to test data indicating good model generalization as well.
The quantity of written content about medical information is staggering, and it keeps on increasing daily. Think about the internet, which is full of websites, news, constantly updated status, blogs, and a great deal more. Utilizing search to swiftly scroll through key findings is the most effective method for navigating material mainly because the results are not arranged in any specific fashion. A considerable percentage of this stuff needs to be summarized to emphasize the most significant information. Creating a custom summary with our own two hands of everything that can be effectively done by text summarization techniques. There is a critical need for this automated method. This project incorporates technologies that are capable of summarizing the text automatically. It implies paraphrasing phrases into a single thought. We propose a hierarchical document that represents an architecture for extraction aggregation that utilizes “Longformer” as a set encoder and “Transformer” as a text encoder to represent text documents properly. This model is referred to as the Long-Trans-Extr model. One of the benefits of using Longformer as a set encoder is that the model can take in lengthy documents with a maximum of 4096 tokens, which only adds a little amount of additional processing. This quick summarization tool can be used by doctors or medical practitioners for quickly analysing emergency or critical patients.

The emerging growth of artificial intelligence (AI) technology created a way for many innovative developments. Speech to lip synchronization (STLS) is one of the key requirement in applications related to film making, voice modulation, video creation etc. The identification of speaking face synchronized with the voice need to be done accurately to improve the quality of the video. Many existing systems face the problem while imposing the new audio into the existing video files. The movement of lips dynamically changes according to the speaking faces. To solve the missing synchronization problem of existing videos to retrieve the original quality from the video input, the proposed system is focused on creating accurate lip synchronization model using Deep SyncNet (DSN) using Deep learning convolution architecture. The timing accuracy of the video synchronization extensively improve the quality of the video and demands real time experience from the video footage. Detection of facial variations without extracting the features are particularly challenging. The proposed system considers the existing challenges like misclassification, delayed synchronization and evaluated the SyncNet achieved the accuracy of 95% on lip synchronization with labelled dataset.
A brain tumor is an anomalous blowup of cells if not dually detected. A brain excrescence must be found as soon as possible for therapeutic use and survival chances. There are numerous different types of brain tumors with different features, sizes, and treatment choices. Tumor detection manually is difficult, laborious, and prone to mistakes. In this research, deep features are extracted and passed to an ensemble system of AlexNet, EfficientNet, ResNet50, InceptionV3, and VGG16 from which a score vector is acquired from Softmax for demarcation between glioma, meningioma, pituitary, and no tumor. The issues in the published studies have already been estimated on a standard dataset such as Kaggle, 2020-BRATS. The model has detection scores of more than 96%, which shows that the proposed ensemble model outperforms existing works.
Gesture Recognition which is an inevitable part of human computer interaction is an ever evolving active research area.

In this paper, we propose a hybrid relay-reflecting intelligent surface (HR-RIS)-assisted cell-free (CF) massive multiple-input multiple-output (mMIMO) network to achieve consistent spectral efficiency (SE). The HR-RIS technique manipulates the propagation environment by reflecting and enhancing radio signals in desired locations, providing a symbiotic integration with CF mMIMO for future wireless communication systems. We first model uplink and downlink channels, obtaining minimum-mean-square-error estimations for efficient transmission paths. We then analyze the SE performance of the proposed system. To enhance sum spectral efficiency in downlink multi-antenna, multi-user, and millimeter-wave massive MIMO networks, we introduce a low-complexity hybrid precoding approach. The optimal analog equalizer is determined by converting the analog precoding matrix dimensions into square matrices and selecting a few discrete Fourier transforms to maximize the amplitude of corresponding wideband channel matrices. We employ the equal gain transmission technique to combine channel gains efficiently and ensure spectral efficiency. To mitigate inter-user interference, we propose an enhanced block diagonalization method for designing the digital precoder and combiner. Our study demonstrates that the proposed HR-RIS-assisted CF mMIMO system offers significant improvements in SE performance, paving the way for advanced wireless communication systems.
Swarm robots, which are inspired from the way insects behave collectively in order to achieve a common goal, have become a major part of research with applications involving search and rescue, area exploration, surveillance etc. In this paper, we present a swarm of robots that do not require individual extrinsic sensors to sense the environment but instead use a single central camera to locate and map the swarm. The robots can be easily built using readily available components with the main chassis being 3D printed, making the system low-cost, low-maintenance, and easy to replicate. We describe Zutu's hardware and software architecture, the algorithms to map the robots to the real world, and some experiments conducted using four of our robots. Eventually, we conclude the possible applications of our system in research, education, and industries.

Since the adoption of the internet as a medium of communication of information, fake or false information or news has always been a major issue. Incidents of false information have always increased at times of crisis on national or international scales. The world witnessed a global pandemic from the Coronavirus, causing a complete disruption in the functioning of society. News of bogus cures, home remedies, and medicines started to make their way around the world. The number of incidents of such false news only increased as the pandemic worsened and more people were falling sick and dying. In times of desperation, people can easily be persuaded to try unverified and possibly dangerous medicines or cures, that can cost them their money as well as health. In this paper, natural language processing is used to first identify and differentiate text that has information regarding Covid 19 from the text that does not contain information regarding Covid 19. Word frequency scores like TF and IDF scores are then calculated. The intent of the text is then analyzed by observing the mannerisms detected in false news. With this analysis, the potential of the text to be false or fake is then determined. This research intends to explore the linguistics of false news and to get one step ahead in identifying fake news. The same methodology can be used to analyze data related to other specific topics.

We have also compared our proposed model with other existing state of art architectures for radar based human activity recognition.
Deep learning is a field in artificial intelligence that works well in computer vision, natural language processing and audio recognition. Deep neural network architectures has number of layers to conceive the features well, by itself. The hyperparameter tuning plays a major role in every dataset which has major effect in the performance of the training model. Due to the large dimensionality of data it is impossible to tune the parameters by human expertise. In this paper, we have used the CIFAR-10 Dataset and applied the Bayesian hyperparameter optimization algorithm to enhance the performance of the model. Bayesian optimization can be used for any noisy black box function for hyperparameter tuning. In this work Bayesian optimization clearly obtains optimized values for all hyperparameters which saves time and improves performance. The results also show that the error has been reduced in graphical processing unit than in CPU by 6.2% in the validation. Achieving global optimization in the trained model helps transfer learning across domains as well.
The primary objective of this paper is to develop a methodology for brain tumor segmentation. Nowadays, brain tumor recognition and fragmentation is one among the pivotal procedure in surgical and medication planning arrangements. It is difficult to segment the tumor area from MRI images due to inaccessibility of edge and appropriately visible boundaries. In this paper, a combination of Artificial Neural Network and Fuzzy K-means algorithm has been presented to segment the tumor locale. It contains four phases, (1) Noise evacuation (2) Attribute extraction and selection (3) Classification and (4) Segmentation. Initially, the procured image is denoised utilizing wiener filter, and then the significant GLCM attributes are extricated from the images. Then Deep Learning based classification has been performed to classify the abnormal images from the normal images. Finally, it is processed through the Fuzzy K-Means algorithm to segment the tumor region separately. This proposed segmentation approach has been verified on BRATS dataset and produces the accuracy of 94%, sensitivity of 98% specificity of 99%, Jaccard index of 96%. The overall accuracy of this proposed technique has been improved by 8% when compared with K-Nearest Neighbor methodology.
Nowadays wireless sensor networks have wide applications in many fields such as medical, industrial, military, etc. Sensors are having limited processing capabilities and energy is an important constraint in wireless sensor networks as it determines the lifetime of the network.In a large scale wireless sensor networks, the sensor nodes have to collect more data when they are moving towards the sink.So the sensor nodes energy, nearer to the sink may get drained off more quickly and an alternate path has to be chosen which increases the delay in the network.Compressive data gathering is one of the techniques which reduce the data size, balance the energy in large scale wireless sensor networks.The existing technique takes more computations and increase in complexity on compressing the data.So a modified compressive data gathering protocol is designed which uses a lossless compression algorithm called modified Lempel Ziv Welch compression algorithm which is a simple and fast method for compressing the data.A tree is constructed and parent-children nodes are assigned and child node carries the compressed data and intermediate parent node aggregates and compresses it until it reaches the sink.The original data is reconstructed at the sink using Modified Lempel Ziv Welch decompression algorithm Index Terms -Wireless sensor network, data aggregation, MLZW compression and decompression.I.
