  • Explainable AI for Diabetic Retinopathy Screening: Enhancing Clinician Trust in Deep Learning Predictions
    S Berlin Shaheema, Sujitha N., Arulraj N K, Suryaraj C K, S Satish Kumar, S Berlin Shiny
    Conference Proceedngs Wccst 2026 World Conference on Computational Science and Technology, 2026
    Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is the causes of vision impairment in diabetes people worldwide. Early diagnosis is vital to avoid the progression of disease to severe stages like Proliferative DR. Prolonged levels of glucose cause damage to the retina, can result in irreversible blindness if not identified in time. A novel framework based on the Double Deep Q-Network (DDQN) is proposed for the effective categorization of the severity levels of DR. Proposed system, the DDQN approach is based on the reinforced learning method to optimize the decision-making process. In the DDQN approach, the overestimation bias is avoided by the decoupling of the action selection and evaluation processes. In the proposed system, the images are first p reprocessed b efore passing the images through the convolutional layer for feature extraction. The proposed system improves the stability of the learning process and the efficiency of convergence. The experimental results have shown the superiority of the DDQN-based model by providing an F1-score of 96.34%, precision of 98.67%, sensitivity of 96.54%, and accuracy of 98.95% for the healthy retina and three stages of DR. The proposed methodology is superior to existing models and has shown strong potential for practical applications.

    The rapid urbanization of regions like Chennai, Tamil Nadu, has led to significant challenges in waste management, with approximately 100 tons of waste generated daily. Alarmingly, only 30% of this waste is properly segregated, and a mere 15% is recycled, resulting in landfill overflow, environmental pollution, and inefficient waste disposal practices. The S-Bin, an innovative IoT-based Smart Waste Bin system, has been developed to address these critical issues by introducing automation and intelligence into the waste management process. A novel waste management algorithm optimizes collection routes by analyzing factors such as waste type, bin capacity, and link stability. The S-Bin features a real-time notification system that alerts municipal authorities, coupled with a smart locking mechanism to prevent unauthorized access and ensure secure disposal. The SBin promotes higher recycling rates and provides datadriven insights for strategic waste management planning. In addition, the system integrates predictive analytics to forecast waste generation trends, enabling proactive scheduling of collection vehicles. The S-Bin’s cloud-based dashboard facilitates real-time monitoring and analytics for decision-makers. Overall, this intelligent framework supports sustainable urban development by improving operational efficiency and reducing the ecological footprint of waste disposal.

    The automated segmentation and feature extraction of brain tumor from the MRI brain images is extremely significant to improve the precision level in medical diagnosis and treatment. An efficient brain tumor segmentation technique based on federated learning is proposed to effectively trade off segmentation accuracy and patient data privacy. The proposed system uses efficient preprocessing techniques, segmentation algorithms, and feature extraction algorithms to determine the exact size, shape, and location of brain tumors. The proposed brain tumor segmentation technique is based on federated learning, which enables the proposed system to train multiple medical institutions simultaneously without compromising patient data privacy. The proposed brain tumor segmentation technique is tested with the BraTS datasets and shown significant improvements in segmentation accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity while maintaining patient data privacy. The proposed brain tumor segmentation technique is efficient and feasible to produce an efficient outcome in real-world scenarios. Moreover, the proposed approach improves the interoperability of healthcare systems and eliminates data.
  • Accurate Leaf-Based Identification of Plant Diseases and Classification Using Shape Attentive U-Net

    Accurate detection helps farmers improve crop productivity, safeguard food supplies and adopt sustainable farming methods. Conventional manual inspection and classical machine learning approaches are often time-consuming, subjective, and limited in handling complex disease patterns and high intra-class similarity among leaf images. Although deep learning techniques have achieved promising results, many existing models rely primarily on texture information and lack explicit modeling of structural and shape characteristics of lesions, which restricts their robustness and generalization capability. An automated Plant Disease detection and Classification using a Shape Attentive U-Net (SAUNet). The model integrates a dual-stream architecture consisting of a texture stream based on U-Net and a dedicated shape stream guided by boundary-aware attention. Gated convolutional layers and channel-wise attention are employed to effectively fuse texture and geometric features, enabling precise localization and discrimination of disease regions. Experiments conducted on the Kaggle PlantVillage tomato leaf dataset demonstrate that SAUNet achieves an accuracy of 99.17%, outperforming several compared models. The presented framework is lightweight and accurate, feasible for execution on limited devices such as smartphones, which will enable real-time field-level disease surveillance. This method is applied to a many agricultural applications such as smart farming, early disease surveillance, and precision crop management.

    A smart grid (SG) combines an information network, a communication network, and an electrical grid. With the fast improvement of SG technology, cyber-physical systems have become more complex, making SGs more susceptible to cyber-physical attacks. Protecting energy networks and critical components of communication from external attacks is crucial for maintaining reliable and efficient power distribution. Detecting Intrusions is vital to delivering safe services and notifying system administrators. This research suggests an intrusion classification scheme to detect cyberattacks on contemporary smart power grids that integrate multi-area power systems. It utilizes Hybrid Res2-UNeXt combined with a federated learning-based optimization algorithm to learn complex electrical grid properties. Deep learning with federated learning provides a robust system for detecting and classifying intrusions, enhancing the security of smart grids. The proposed method achieved 96.6 % accuracy when analyzing the original set of features and delivered a maximum accuracy of 99% with the selected data set from the publicly available dataset from Mississippi State University. Therefore, the suggested intrusion categorization method might successfully defend smart power grid systems from online threats.
