Application of Artificial intelligence for prediction of Brucellosis in Bangladesh

This research pioneers the application of artificial intelligence for predicting brucellosis in dairy cattle in Bangladesh by developing a highly accurate deep learning model (up to 93.94%). A significant contribution is the use of the SMOTE technique to effectively manage imbalanced veterinary data, a common challenge in disease diagnostics. Furthermore, the study identifies and ranks critical clinical risk factors, establishing that a retained placenta is the most significant predictor. By creating association rules to clarify the interplay between these factors, this work provides veterinarians and farmers with a powerful and practical tool for early diagnosis, paving the way to mitigate substantial economic losses in the dairy industry.

Pedestrian Flow Analysis Method in Public Spaces by Integrating Visual Information and Pedestrian Model

This paper proposed a method to improve the accuracy of pedestrian flow analysis by applying machine learning-based object detection to urban video data. To handle occlusions and maintain robust tracking, a pedestrian modeling approach was introduced, which allows detection even when objects overlap and enables class identification using past detection results. The effectiveness of the proposed method was verified in a real-world setting. It was confirmed that the method can achieve stable detection and reduce class assignment errors, achieving a mean absolute percentage error of 1.0% for pedestrians and 2.2% for bikes.

Clegora – Legal ChatBot for Indian Consumer and Civil Rights

The current paper brings a design, development and evaluation of an AI-based legal assistant named Clegora to suit the requirements of the Indian legal system. However, based on a state-of- the-art large language model, Groq Llama 3.2, deployed in a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) framework, Clegora delivers contextual and high-quality responses through the dynamic retrieval of relevant legal documents in a specialized vector database. The system uses a new token management approach that scales input lengths based on query complexity with the aim of being efficient in resource utilization without compromising on the quality of responses. Clegora has privacy and ethical standards, as it is built with secure authentication of the user by Firebase and strong content safety measures. Performance tests show short response times of less than five seconds to simultaneous users and citation efficiency of more than 95%. The responses of the users point out how the assistant could be used to simplify complex legal cases, multi-turn conversations, and provide users with confidence when handling legal cases. Though the existing constraints are the processing of language diversity in the region and very narrow domain queries, the modular design and continual data refreshing makes Clegora a scalable solution that will democratize the access to legal information, enabling informed decision-making in diverse Indian populations.

EfficientNetV2S with End Ensemble for Robust Bangla Handwritten Character Recognition

Recognition of handwritten characters is an important task in the field of image processing. Bangla handwritten characters exhibit greater complexity and variation in shape, along with high inter-class similarity, making their recognition particularly challenging. To address this, we propose the “EfficientNetV2S” model, designed to recognize complex and visually similar characters in the Bangla language. Although Bangla is one of the most spoken languages in the world, research on Bangla character recognition is still comparatively limited. In this study, we apply a deep learning model trained and tested on a custom dataset of Bangla handwritten characters. The model is utilized both for feature extraction and for its proven efficiency in image classification tasks, enabling it to learn image features effectively and recognize characters with remarkable accuracy. Our approach achieves an impressive 96.63% accuracy, highlighting the strength and reliability of the proposed method. To broaden the range of classes, we combined the “BanglaLekha-Isolated” and “Matrivasa-raw (Ekush)” datasets. The results show that the End Ensemble technique effectively tackles recognition challenges and offers strong potential for real-world applications like automation and education. This research advances Bangla character recognition and encourages further exploration in the field.

Techno-Economic Evaluation of Solid-State and Sodium-Ion Batteries in E-Mobility Using a MATLAB Tool

The selection of suitable battery technologies is a key lever in shaping the global transition to sustainable mobility. This study investigates the techno-economic potential of two emerging battery types – solid-state batteries and sodium-ion batteries. While solid-state batteries promise higher energy densities, sodium-ion batteries offer advantages in material availability and potential cost stability due to the abundance of sodium. A MATLAB-based evaluation is used to conduct a holistic analysis focusing on their application within the Tesla Model Y and the VW ID.3. The assessment considers key indicators such as energy density, specific costs, CO2 emissions, and achievable driving range. The results highlight technological trade-offs and demonstrate how different battery choices impact the ecological and economic performance of electric vehicles. Moreover, the flexibility of the modeling approach enables its application across a range of current and future vehicle configurations, supporting strategic decision making in battery selection.
