    Trends in Environmental Analytical Chemistry, 2025
    Rapid, low-cost detection of contaminants and quality markers is critical across healthcare, food safety, environmental monitoring, and industrial applications. While traditional laboratory methods remain accurate, they are often slow, expensive, and unsuitable for point-of-care or field use. Colorimetric biosensing offers a simple, affordable, and visually intuitive alternative; however, its dependence on subjective human interpretation introduces bias and limits reproducibility, particularly when subtle color variations arise under different lighting conditions or device types. Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and especially deep learning (DL) have transformed these limitations into opportunities by enabling automated, robust, and highly precise analysis. Models such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and specialized architectures like ColorNet can directly interpret raw images, extract complex features, and adapt across varied environments, thereby enhancing accuracy and scalability. Through smartphone integration, edge computing, and explainable AI, these systems are now being deployed in diverse real-world scenarios, including biomedical diagnostics, wound and tissue health monitoring, food spoilage and adulteration detection, environmental pollutant sensing, and smart packaging. This review critically examines AI/ML/DL-assisted colorimetric systems, highlights domain-specific applications, and addresses challenges such as dataset generalizability, model interpretability, and regulatory validation, offering practical solutions and future directions for smarter, portable, and accessible biosensing platforms.

    Iet Conference Proceedings, 2025
    In response to increased use of virtual and hybrid meetings, IntelliMeet offers an AI-based solution for real-time transcription and summarization. We use Google’s Speech-to-Text API for high-quality transcription, abstractive summarization using fine-tuned FLAN-T5, and cosine clustering for information organization based on topics. With hybrid strategy using extractive and abstractive techniques, IntelliMeet provides readable and coherent meeting minutes. Experimental evaluations using SAMSum datasets prove better ROUGE-1 and ROUGE-2 ratings, displaying potential for large-scale use in corporate and academic environments.
  • AlgoDecrypt: A Cryptographic Algorithm Identification System

    2025 International Conference on Engineering Innovations and Technologies Icoeit 2025, 2025
    Identifying cryptographic algorithms is a critical process in cybersecurity, providing insights into encryption methods used to protect information. Traditional identification methods involve manual examination, which is time-consuming, inefficient, and prone to errors. With the evolution of encryption algorithms, an efficient and automated solution is essential. This paper presents an AI/ML-based system employing a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) with 10 layers integrated with Bi-Directional Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks to categorize cryptographic algorithms based on ciphertext characteristics. 13 different models were developed, each trained to identify specific algorithms. The system extracts features such as entropy, block size, and character distribution for accurate classification. A React frontend allows users to input ciphertext for analysis, while a Flask backend processes the data and applies the trained models. Results are stored in a MongoDB database for further analysis and future research. Using deep learning tools like TensorFlow and PyTorch, the system achieves superior accuracy and efficiency compared to traditional methods. This research demonstrates how AI can significantly enhance cryptographic analysis, offering a scalable, reliable, and rapid solution for cybersecurity professionals.
  • Mathematical Modelling and Deep Learning: Innovations in E-Commerce Sentiment Analysis
    Et al. Ashish Suresh Awate
    Advances in Nonlinear Variational Inequalities, 2024
    This research explores e-commerce dynamics, focusing on the challenge of predicting customer churn using deep learning [65]. It integrates and analyses both textual and transactional data, including social media posts and customer feedback [59]. The approach uses an advanced deep learning model, involving data collection, pre-processing, and feature extraction [40]. Novel methods fuse data to create a detailed customer profile combining sentiment analysis with behavioural insights derived from transaction data [25]. The deep learning architecture is designed to analyse and predict customer sentiments and purchasing behaviours, informed by the latest research [65]. This study is significant as it provides an innovative solution for predicting customer churn in e-commerce, aiding sustainability [45]. It also enables targeted retention strategies and personalized customer engagement [59]. Additionally, it contributes insights to big data analytics and customer relationship management in e-commerce, showcasing deep learning's potential in transforming business practices and enhancing customer experience [40].

    In the dynamic landscape of cybersecurity, this paper addresses a critical challenge: the ability of attackers to conceal their identities behind VPNs and proxy servers. Our dual objectives are to develop advanced techniques for pinpointing these elusive actors and to empower the cybersecurity community with actionable insights. Leveraging the MERN stack, cloud services, open-source tools and specialized libraries, we unveil attackers’ identities. In a digital era, valuing privacy and security, this paper lays the foundation for an in-depth exploration, offering solutions to enhance online safety. Through strategic use of technology and insights, we contribute to a more secure online environment.

    Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a developmental disorder characterized by social, communication, and behavioral challenges. People with ASD may struggle with interaction, exhibit repetitive behaviors, and have specific interests. Early diagnosis is crucial, typically occurring in early childhood through a comprehensive evaluation of a child's development, history, and behavior. While there is no cure for ASD, various treatments, such as Applied Behavior Analysis and therapy, can enhance social, communication, and behavioral skills. ASD's symptoms vary among individuals and may include sensory processing difficulties, resistance to change, and a typical eating or sleeping habits. The average age of diagnosis is around 0 - 6 years, but some individuals may be diagnosed later due to less obvious symptoms in younger children. ASD, or Autism Spectrum Disorder, is a developmental condition associated with significant social, communication, and behavioral challenges. To solve this problem, this paper proposes an ML-powered system called eNidan to detect early symptoms of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Three algorithms are evaluated: KNN, Decision Tree, and Logistic Regression. Accuracy of decision tree algorithm is 64 percent, Accuracy of SVM algorithm is 58 percent, Accuracy of logistic regression algorithm is 67 percent. Logistic Regression is the best algorithm, with an accuracy of 67 percent. All three algorithms are appended to the model, and the accuracy of each algorithm is compared. Logistic Regression is found to be the best algorithm, and all results are fetch to the final algorithm. The paper focuses on historical data that is available and suitable for training data. This algorithm is downloaded onto the ML algorithm and trained on historical data collected from Kaggle. The parameters in the dataset are roll number, student age, speech delay, learning disorder, sex, family ASD, and ASD train. So final result is logistic regression is best algorithm for this e-Nidan System.
