Floods remain among the most destructive natural hazards, presenting severe threats to human life, infrastructure, and ecological systems. As extreme weather events become increasingly frequent due to climate change, the development of accurate and interpretable flood prediction models is more critical than ever. This study presents a deep tabular learning framework for flood risk prediction using TabNet, a neural architecture optimized for structured tabular data. The model is trained on a real-world dataset sourced from Kaggle, consisting of 50,000 records with 21 environmental and socio-economic indicators, including features like monsoon intensity, topography, deforestation, urbanization, and drainage systems. The dataset contains no missing values or categorical variables, enabling direct application of regression models. After preprocessing and standardization, the TabNet model was trained with optimized hyperparameters using a five-step decision process and sparse attention mechanisms to identify feature importance during learning. The model achieved outstanding predictive performance, with a Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of 0.0069, Mean Squared Error (MSE) of 0.000094, Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) of 0.0097, Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) of 1.36
The problem of academic performance prediction has beco- me one of the most pressing educational data mining studies as it can facilitate early detection of at-risk students and enable the provision of appropriate academic support as soon as possible. Attendance, study habits, and sleep patterns are some of the elements of behavior that are very crucial in determining the practice of learning but the combined effects have not been well investigated in predictive modelling. In this paper, the researchers offer an artificial intelligence-based model of academic performance prediction through the analysis of attendance rates, indicators of study behavior, and sleep-related features. Several machine learning models are tested on artificial learning going through an actual educational dataset. Empirical evidence shows that the ensemble-based methods have better predictive power that non ensemble-based classifiers. The suggested framework is an economical and evidence-based approach that allows educators to plan academically forward and implement individualized learning plans.
India’s urban traffic system continues to suffer from severe congestion, inefficient signal timing, and increasing vehicle volumes, resulting in prolonged travel times, higher emissions, and frequent rule violations. To address these challenges, this study presents Smart Traffic Eye, a real-time traffic control system powered by deep learning. Leveraging the YOLO object detection algorithm for accurate and fast vehicle identification, the system integrates with the SUMO (Simulation of Urban Mobility) platform to simulate and manage dynamic traffic signal control. The model was trained on the MIO-TCD dataset, which includes diverse vehicle categories and environmental conditions representative of Indian roads. By analyzing real-time traffic density and adjusting signal timing accordingly, the system prioritizes emergency vehicles and reduces congestion. Simulation results demonstrate a clear improvement in traffic throughput, reduced average waiting times, and better adaptability to fluctuating traffic loads. The proposed framework not only offers a scalable and cost-effective solution but also aligns with India’s smart city goals by paving the way for AI-driven, responsive urban mobility systems.

High-dimensional gene expression datasets with limited samples pose a persistent challenge for machine learning in cancer genomics. To address this, we propose BioFuseNet, a novel deep learning architecture designed to classify leukemia subtypes with high accuracy by combining autoencoder-based representation learning and gene-set-aware feature fusion. The model operates on a carefully curated microarray dataset from the CuMiDa (Curated Microarray Database), consisting of 64 samples, 5 leukemia classes, and over 22,000 gene expression features. Leveraging unsupervised gene clustering, BioFuseNet divides the input features into distinct subsets, each processed through a dedicated autoencoder branch that learns compact and denoised representations. These branch-wise embeddings are then fused and passed through a fully connected classifier trained jointly using both supervised cross-entropy loss and unsupervised reconstruction loss. Experimental evaluation shows that BioFuseNet achieves a classification accuracy of 90
