—The use of digital media, such as social networks, has promoted the spreading of fake news on a large scale. Therefore, several Machine Learning techniques, such as artificial neural networks, have been used for fake news detection and classification. These techniques are widely used due to their learning capabilities. Besides, models based on artificial neural networks can be easily integrated into social media and websites to spot fake news early and avoid their propagation. Nevertheless, most fake news classification models are available only for English news, limiting the possibility of detecting fake news in other languages, such as Spanish. For this reason, this study proposes implementing a web service that integrates a deep learning model for the classification of fake news in Spanish. To determine the best model, the performance of several neural network architectures, including MLP, CNN, and LSTM, was evaluated using the F1 score., and LSTM using the F1 score. The LSTM architecture was the best, with an F1 score of 0.746. Finally, the efficiency of web service was evaluated, applying temporal behavior as a metric, resulting in an average response time of 1.08 seconds.

—Skin cancers have been on an upward trend, with melanoma being the most severe type. A growing body of investigation is employing digital camera images to computer-aided examine suspected skin lesions for cancer. Due to the presence of distracting elements including lighting fluctuations and surface light reflections, interpretation of these images is typically difficult. Segmenting the area of the lesion from healthy skin is a crucial step in the diagnosis of cancer. Hence, in this research an optimized deep learning approach is introduced for the skin lesion segmentation. For this, the EfficientNet is integrated with the UNet for enhancing the segmentation accuracy. Also, the Improved Tuna Swarm Optimization (ITSO) is utilized for adjusting the modifiable parameters of the U-EfficientNet to minimize the information loss during the learning phase. The proposed ITSU-EfficientNet is assessed based on various evaluation measures like Accuracy, Mean Square Error (MSE), Precision, Recall, IoU, and Dice Coefficient and acquired the values are 0.94, 0.06, 0.94, 0.94, 0.92 and 0.94 respectively.

Myocarditis is an important public health concern since it can cause heart failure and abrupt death. It can be diagnosed with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the heart, a non-invasive imaging technology with the potential for operator bias. The study provides a deep learning-based model for myocarditis detection using CMR images to support medical professionals. The proposed architecture comprises a convolutional neural network (CNN), a fully-connected decision layer, a generative adversarial network (GAN)-based algorithm for data augmentation, an enhanced DE for pre-training weights, and a reinforcement learning-based method for training. We present a new method of employing produced images for data augmentation based on GAN to improve the classification performance of the provided CNN. Unbalanced data is one of the most significant classification issues, as negative samples are more than positive, decimating system performance. To solve this issue, we offer an RL-based training method that learns minority class examples with attention. In addition, we tackle the challenges associated with the training step, which typically relies on gradient-based techniques for the learning process; however, these methods often face issues like sensitivity to initialization. To start the BP process, we present an improved differential evolution (DE) technique that leverages a clustering-based mutation operator. It recognizes a successful cluster for DE and applies an original updating strategy to produce potential solutions. We assess our suggested model on the Z-Alizadeh Sani myocarditis dataset and show that it outperforms other methods. Keywords—Myocarditis; generative adversarial network; data augmentation; differential evolution

—This study expands our comprehension of museum visitor impact within a system quality, information quality, and augmented reality (AR) media content quality on mobile applications. Museums meet new defiance of escalating expectancies of their visitors. As a result of the universal mobile phone tool, AR has arisen as the latest technology offered to the museum to increase its visitors. These expectancies are fostered by the improvement of modern technologies like AR on the mobile app. Across an online survey of 241 visitors, the study determines the constructs affecting visitor impact within museum' mobile apps and the consequential results of AR-linked visitor impact. The study proposes a recent set of AR features, explicitly, system quality, information system, and AR media content quality, and establishes their influence on rational hedonism and satisfaction experienced, thus enhancing visitor impact. The findings also show that the rational hedonism and satisfaction experienced are positioned as full mediators for the relationship between system quality & information quality and visitor impact. In contrast, these mediators partially influence the indirect relationship between AR media content quality and visitor impact. Moreover, the results affirm that AR media content quality within the mobile application is the most critical construct to directly enhance visitor impact, whereas the system quality and information quality have no influence yet. From a practical point of view, the importance of AR technology for the museum can support entice new visitors to museums and improve to make more incomes

—Today, with the advancement of science and technology, artificial intelligence evolves and grows along with human beings. Clinical specialists rely only on their knowledge and experience, as well as the results of complex and time-consuming clinical trials, despite the inevitable human errors of diagnosis work. Performing malignant and dangerous diseases, the use of machine learning makes it clear that the ability and capacity of these techniques are beneficial to help correctly diagnose diseases, reduce human error, improve diagnosis, and start treatment as soon as possible. In diseases, image processing and artificial intelligence is widely used in medicine and applied in stereological, histopathology. One of the essential activities for diagnosing the disease using artificial intelligence and machine learning is the fragmentation of images and classification of medical images, which is used to diagnose the disease with the help of images of the patient obtained from medical devices. In this article, we have worked on classifying medical histopathological images of brain tissue. The images are not of good quality due to sampling with standard equipment, and an attempt is made to improve the quality of the images by operating. Also, all images are segmented using the U-NET algorithm. In order to improve performance in classification, segmented images are used to classify images into two classes, normal and abnormal, instead of the images themselves. The images in the data set used in this study have a small number of images. Due to the use of a convolutional neural network algorithm to extract the feature and classify the images, more images are needed. Therefore, the data amplification technique to overcome this problem is used. Finally, the convolutional neural network has been used to extract features from images and classify fragmented images. Experimental results shown that the proposed method presented better performance compared to other existing methods.

—In Brain-Computer interface (BCI) applications, achieving accurate control relies heavily on the classification accuracy and efficiency of motor imagery electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. However, factors such as mutual interference between multi-channel signals, inter-individual variability, and noise interference in the channels pose challenges to motor imagery EEG signal classification. To address these problems, this paper proposes an Adaptive Channel Selection algorithm aimed at optimizing classification accuracy and Information Translate Rate (ITR). First, C3, C4, and Cz are selected as key channels based on neurophysiological evidence and extensive experimental studies. Next, the channel selection is fine-tuned using spatial location and absolute Pearson correlation coefficients. By analyzing the relationship between EEG channels and key channels, the most relevant channel combination is determined for each subject, reducing confounding information and improving classification accuracy. To validate the method, the SHU Dataset and the PhysioNet Dataset are used in experiments. The Graph ResNet classification model is employed to extract features from the selected channel combinations using deep learning techniques. Experimental results show that the average classification accuracy is improved by 5.36% and 9.19%, and the Information Translate Rate is improved by 29.24% and 26.75%, respectively, compared to a single channel combination.

We conducted a Systematic Literature Review on scientific papers that examined the interaction between operators and drone swarms based on the use of a command and control center. We present the results of a meta-analysis of nine scientific papers published in the ACM DL and IEEE Xplore databases. Our findings show that research on human-drone swarm interaction shows a disproportionate interest in hand gestures compared to other input modalities for drone swarm control. Furthermore, all articles reviewed exclusively explored gestures and the size of the swarm used in the studies was limited, with a median of 3.0 and an average of 3.8 drones per study. We compiled an inventory of interaction modalities, recognition techniques, and application types from the scientific literature, which is presented in this paper. On the basis of our findings, we propose four areas for future research that can guide scientific investigations and practical developments in this field. Keywords—Human swarm interactions; input modalities; swarm control

—Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a deficit-driven neurodevelopmental condition in three areas, which are social interactions, communication, and the presence of restricted interests and repetitive behaviours. Children with autism mainly suffer from emotional disturbance that emerges as meltdowns, tantrums, and aggression, increasing the risk of developing mental health issues. Several studies have assessed the use of serious games in helping children with autism enhance their communication, learning, and social skills. Significantly, these serious games focus on the strengths and weaknesses of the disorder to establish a comfortable and controlled environment that is able to support children with autism. However, there is still a lack of evidence in studies exploring the use of serious games for children with autism to facilitate the development of emotion regulation. The aim of this study is to consolidate and propose a new serious game design principle for children with autism to facilitate the development of emotion regulation. The target age of the children involved in this study ranged between 6 and 12. A review of previous literature on serious game design principles was conducted. More than 70 articles related to serious games for children with autism were analysed using thematic analysis. This study found 16 elements that influenced the designing and developing process of creating a serious game for children with autism. It has been organised and categorised into five attributes (user, game objectives, game elements, game aesthetics, and player experience). Certainly, this study demonstrates the needs and requirements of children with autism when designing serious games.

—This study directly and thoroughly investigates the practicalities of utilizing sentence embeddings, derived from the foundations of deep learning, for textual entailment recognition, with a specific emphasis on the robust BERT model. As a cornerstone of our research, we incorporated the Stanford Natural Language Inference (SNLI) dataset. Our study emphasizes a meticulous analysis of BERT’s variable layers to ascertain the optimal layer for generating sentence embeddings that can effectively identify entailment. Our approach deviates from traditional methodologies, as we base our evaluation of entailment on the direct and simple comparison of sentence norms, subsequently highlighting the geometrical attributes of the embeddings. Experimental results revealed that the L 2 norm of sentence embeddings, drawn specifically from BERT’s 7th layer, emerged superior in entailment detection compared to other setups.

Establishing a reasonable and efficient compulsory education balance index system is very important to boost the all-around of compulsory education development, and then realize the course recommendation for students with different attributes. Based on this, the research aimed at the problems in college English education and evaluation, aimed to establish a college English MOOC education and evaluation system based on the improved neural network recommendation algorithm. The research first constructed the college English MOOC education and evaluation data elements, and then established a genetic algorithm improved neural network algorithm (BP Neural Network Optimization Algorithm Based on Genetic Algorithm, GA-BP), and finally analyzed the effect of the assembled model. These results show that the fitness of the GA-BP model reaches the set expectation when the evolutionary algebra reaches 10 times, and its fitness is 0.6. The corresponding threshold and weight are obtained, and the threshold and weight are substituted into the model. After repeated iterative training, the model finally reached an error of 10-3 when it was trained 12 times, and the expected accuracy was achieved. The R value of each set hovered around 0.97, and the fitting degree was high, which showed that the GA-BP model proposed in the study had a better fitting degree. The difference between the expected value and the output value is mainly distributed in the [-0.08083, 0.06481] interval. To sum up, the GA-BP model proposed in the study has an excellent effect on college English education and evaluation. This evaluation model has a faster learning rate and a higher prediction accuracy and more stable performance. Keywords—Genetic algorithm; education quality assessment; BP neural network; college English MOOC
