    IEEE
    Sentiment analysis, the intricate task of discerning and classifying the myriad of sentiments conveyed within textual data, has captured substantial interest and intrigue, primarily driven by the pervasive utilization and influence of social media platforms. In this study, a novel approach to enhance sentiment analysis of Twitter data by employing Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) with an attention mechanism is proposed. The proposed model leverages the sequential nature of tweets and the attention mechanism to capture the inherent dependencies between words and highlight salient information. The RNN-based model on a large-scale dataset of annotated Twitter data, encompassing diverse sentiments is trained. The model effectively learns the contextual information and sentiment patterns, enabling accurate sentiment classification. A comprehensive set of tests were run to evaluate the effectiveness of this methodology, and the outcomes were meticulously compared to those of traditional machine learning algorithms and established deep learning models. The empirical findings demonstrate that proposed attention-based RNN model performs better than competing methods and achieves cutting-edge performance on sentiment analysis of Twitter data. Moreover, an in-depth analysis of the attention weights generated by the model, shedding light on the significant words and phrases influencing sentiment classification is conducted. This provides valuable insights into the underlying sentiment dynamics in Twitter data. Proposed research contributes to the field of sentiment analysis by proposing an effective and robust approach for Twitter sentiment classification. The findings highlight the potential of RNNs with attention mechanisms in capturing the nuanced sentiment expressions prevalent in social media text. The proposed model can facilitate various applications, including real-time sentiment monitoring, brand reputation analysis, and public opinion tracking, benefiting industries and researchers alike.

  • Futuristic Banking: Streamlining ATM Transactions with Fingerprint and Contactless Authentication

    IEEE
    Modern banking relies heavily on Automated Teller Machines (ATMs), although card-based transactions have historically faced security issues. This study proposes Near-Field Communication (NFC) Card Emulation and fingerprint technology as secure alternatives for ATM cash transactions. NFC Card Emulation enables secure data exchanges within a short distance, ideal for handling sensitive information. To augment security during authentication, fingerprint technology is proposed as an additional layer of protection. By employing fingerprint sensors, user identification can be established without reliance on physical cards or NFC tags. This integration ensures a heightened level of security during the authentication process, surpassing the current card-based approach employed in ATMs. The system eliminates the need for physical cards, enhancing security and mitigating risks such as ATM tampering and magnetic strip damage. A high level of security is guaranteed during ATM transactions as authentication becomes more effective and secure. This novel strategy strengthens ATM security and provides users with a seamless and safe banking experience by incorporating NFC Card Emulation and fingerprint technologies.

  • Connected Agriculture: Leveraging IoT to Revolutionize Farming Practices and Profitability

    IEEE
    Food security, poverty reduction, and rural livelihood support are all greatly impacted by agriculture. To fight crop damage and water scarcity, a smart agricultural system built on the Internet of Things has been created. The system keeps an eye on the water and soil moisture levels and guards against unauthorized animal entry. Cell phones can be used by users to get real-time data. The water pump operates automatically on and off depending on criteria measured on the farmland. For the benefit of farmers and rural communities, the solution attempts to maximize irrigation, protect crops, and increase agricultural output. This smart farming system uses technology to give farmers and rural communities a dependable and effective tool that has a favorable effect on agricultural activity. A revolutionary solution that reduces risks and boosts productivity in the agricultural industry is offered through the use of IoT technology. The approach greatly enhances food security, promotes sustainable development in rural regions, and benefits farmers' well-being.
