  • Harnessing Advanced AI Technologies to Enhance the Diagnosis of Alzheimer’s Disease
    U. Hemavathi, S. Durai
    Journal of Multiscale Modelling, 2026
    The chronic evolving neurodegenerative disorder Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) presents with memory deficits, cognitive impairment, and loss of abilities. AD prevalence is increasing as the world ages, necessitating more precise and easily obtainable diagnostic and treatment approaches. Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies, and more specifically, machine learning and deep learning, have become game-changers in Alzheimer’s disease patient care, including optimizing care, enabling early diagnosis, supporting differential diagnosis, and predicting disease progression over the last few years. To detect amyloid plaques and hippocampal atrophy, this study investigates how AI-driven imaging analysis, specifically convolutional neural networks applied to MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) and PET (Positron Emission Tomography) scans, provides higher sensitivity and specificity. Artificial intelligence models are also being used to analyze clinical and genomic data to identify biomarkers and support risk stratification. AI-assisted cognitive tests provide scalable, noninvasive, and real-time screening. Telemedicine platforms and AI-based Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) are also improving patient management, particularly in remote or underserved areas. Heterogeneity of data, model explainability, ethics, and regulatory guideline requirements remain issues, despite these latest developments. Beyond recent developments such as federated learning and digital twins, the study comprehensively reviews AI’s contributions to AD diagnosis and therapy. It also establishes a guide for future research directions for the ethical and equitable integration of AI in clinical practice.

    Proceedings of 8th International Conference on Intelligent Sustainable Systems Iciss 2026, 2026
    Ever increasing energy demands in the world and environmental concerns have been driving the search for green counterparts to fossil fuels. Agriculture residues proved to be interesting remediation, and biofuels made from it could present the renewable energy chance and the unused management chance. Nonetheless, the production of biofuels has complicated (nonlinear) relations between different factors like the temperature, catalyst concentration, time of reaction, and the feedstock composition. This research paper proposes an Agri residue biofuel production AI-based simulation and optimization system that incorporates the concepts of Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to optimize the efficiency, yield, and performance of producing biofuels. This study identifies the need to use AI as a transformative factor in developing sustainable bioenergy systems as a source of efficient biofuel production through agricultural waste. Results of the study will lead to sustainability of the environment and lead to the introduction of the adaptive and real-time optimization systems in the biofuel industries of the future.
  • AI and Machine Learning Powered Impacted Test Case Generation From Multimodal User Stories Using Retrieval Augmented Generation

    Proceedings of 5th International Conference on Communication Computing and Electronics Systems Iccces 2026, 2026
    Because requirements are constantly changing, modern software systems are subject to continual development. As a result, it takes more time to create or keep up-to-date manual tests than it does to develop test cases automatically. Also, developing and creating automated tests through traditional means typically involves using some type of rule-based approach to extract data and/or rely on only one type of isolated natural language processing technique. In this article, we have developed a new type of intelligent system that can automatically create and re-create testing artifacts by bringing together multiple sources of information (e.g., text, images, etc.), using RAG, machine learning models, and hybrid impact analysis mechanisms. The components within this intelligent system utilize techniques such as semantic role labelling, entity extraction, and vector retrieving to process requirements expressed through different forms of text, various documents, and images. Finally, large language models are being used to automatically create structured test case scenarios from the results of using the RAG methodology and producing the testing artifacts mentioned above. The proposal for a new hybrid impact scoring model is based on calculating how many different types of impacts can occur (full, partial and integrated) through examining the similarity of records (based on embedding), the relevance of clusters (based on historical edits), and other assessment tools. The new model allows for focusing on regenerating only those test cases that were impacted by the change (from the previous release) through empirical validation of results, which clearly show the following advantages over traditional methods: improved accuracy of testing, increased confidence in detecting the impact of a change, decreased manual work effort to identify impacted test cases, and so on. Therefore, the proposed method provides a flexible, adaptable, and scalable solution for maintaining high-quality test suites in a continuously changing software development environment.

    This project builds a data-based system to predict crop yield per hectare in Tamil Nadu, India. Crop yield prediction is difficult because it depends on many changing factors like rainfall, temperature, soil type, and nutrient levels. To handle this, the system uses a machine learning method called the Random Forest Regressor, which is strong and can find complex patterns in data. The model uses six main inputs rainfall, temperature, soil <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">$\mathbf{p H}$</tex>, nitrogen <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">$(\mathbf{N})$</tex>, phosphorus <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">$(\mathbf{P})$</tex>, potassium (K) content, district, and crop type. It is trained and tested using past data and synthetic data, and it performs well based on MAE(Mean Absolute Error), RMSE(Root Mean Square Error), and <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">$\mathbf{R}^{\mathbf{2}}$</tex> scores. A MySQL database is used to manage data efficiently and support real-time updates, creating a full system from data collection to prediction. This system gives useful insights to farmers and policymakers, helping them choose crops wisely and use resources effectively. It supports sustainable farming and food security in Tamil Nadu. In the future, it can include real-time weather data, satellite images, and profit analysis to make predictions even better.
  • An efficient patient’s response predicting system using multi-scale dilated ensemble network framework with optimization strategy

    The forecasting of a patient's response to radiotherapy and the likelihood of experiencing harmful long-term health impacts would considerably enhance individual treatment plans. Due to the continuous exposure to radiation, cardiovascular disease and pulmonary fibrosis might occur. For forecasting the response of patients to chemotherapy, the Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) technique is widely used. With the help of radiotherapy, cancer diseases are diagnosed, but some patients suffer from side effects. The toxicity of radiotherapy and chemotherapy should be estimated. For validating the patient's improvement in treatments, a patient response prediction system is essential. In this paper, a Deep Learning (DL) based patient response prediction system is developed to effectively predict the response of patients, predict prognosis and inform the treatment plans in the early stage. The necessary data for the response prediction are collected manually. The collected data are then processed through the feature selection segment. The Repeated Exploration and Exploitation-based Coati Optimization Algorithm (REE-COA) is employed to select the features. The selected weight features are input into the prediction process. Here, the prediction is performed by Multi-scale Dilated Ensemble Network (MDEN), where we integrated Long-Short term Memory (LSTM), Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) and One-dimensional Convolutional Neural Networks (1DCNN). The final prediction scores are averaged to develop an effective MDEN-based model to predict the patient's response. The proposed MDEN-based patient's response prediction scheme is 0.79%, 2.98%, 2.21% and 1.40% finer than RAN, RNN, LSTM and 1DCNN, respectively. Hence, the proposed system minimizes error rates and enhances accuracy using a weight optimization technique.

    The extraction of features and textures holds a crucial significance in the realm of image processing and machine vision systems. Even though artificial intelligence (AI) techniques are superior in attaining the best results in image processing, several challenges remain open for further research in computation complexity, memory, and power requirements. In this context, robust preprocessing techniques are required to address such shortcomings and reduce the computational cost of predictive tasks. This paper employed two feature extraction levels to extract the best possible features from images of the cinnamon plant. Local directional positional pattern (LDPP) extracts global image features, while local triangular coded pattern (LTCP) extracts local features. It helps to provide detailed and more relevant information about the image texture. Once features are extracted, identifying and categorizing diverse textures within an image relies on recognizing their unique features. Typically, descriptors serve as the means for representing images in our work. Afterwards, we used ensemble learning to attain better classification results with the help of weak classifiers. Extracted features are provided to machine learning (ML) models like support vector machines (SVM), random forest (RF), and k-nearest neighbors (KNN) for better classification of the cinnamon category.
