    Abstract The mechanization of farming is currently the most pressing problem facing humanity and a burgeoning academic field. Over the last decade, there has been an explosion of Internet of Things (IoT) application growth in agriculture. Agricultural robotics is bringing about a new era of farming because they are growing more intelligent, recognizing causes of variation on the farm, consuming fewer resources, and optimizing their efficiency to more flexible jobs. The purpose of this article is to construct an IoT-Fog computing equipped robotic system for the categorization of weeds and soy plants during both the hazy season and the normal season. The used dataset in this article included four classes: soil, soybean, grass, and weeds. A two-dimensional Convolutional Neural Network (2D-CNN)-based deep learning (DL) approach was implemented for data image classification with dataset of height and width of 150 × 150 and of three channels. The overall proposed system is considered an IoT-connected robotic device that is capable of applying classification through the Internet-connected server. The reliability of the device is also enhanced as it is enabled with edge-based Fog computing. Hence, the proposed robotic system is capable of applying DL classification through IoT as well as Fog computing architecture. The analysis of the proposed system was conducted in steps including training and testing of CNN for classification, validation of normal images, validation of hazy images, application of dehazing technique, and at the end validation of dehazed images. The training and validation parameters ensure 97% accuracy in classifying weeds and crops in a hazy environment. Finally, it concludes that applying the dehazing technique before identifying soy crops in adverse weather will help achieve a higher classification score.

    Abstract In this day and age, depression is still one of the biggest problems in the world. If left untreated, it can lead to suicidal thoughts and attempts. There is a need for proper diagnoses of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and evaluation of the early stages to stop the side effects. Early detection is critical to identify a variety of serious conditions. In order to provide safe and effective protection to MDD patients, it is crucial to automate diagnoses and make decision-making tools widely available. Although there are various classification systems for the diagnosis of MDD, no reliable, secure method that meets these requirements has been established to date. In this paper, a federated deep learning-based multimodal system for MDD classification using electroencephalography (EEG) and audio datasets is presented while meeting data privacy requirements. The performance of the federated learning (FL) model was tested on independent and identically distributed (IID) and non-IID data. The study began by extracting features from several pre-trained models and ultimately decided to use bidirectional short-term memory (Bi-LSTM) as the base model, as it had the highest validation accuracy of 91% compared to a convolutional neural network and LSTM with 85% and 89% validation accuracy on audio data, respectively. The Bi-LSTM model also achieved a validation accuracy of 98.9% for EEG data. The FL method was then used to perform experiments on IID and non-IID datasets. The FL-based multimodal model achieved an exceptional training and validation accuracy of 99.9% when trained and evaluated on both IID and non-IIID datasets. These results show that the FL multimodal system performs almost as well as the Bi-LSTM multimodal system and emphasize its suitability for processing IID and non-IIID data. Several clients were found to perform better than conventional pre-trained models in a multimodal framework for federated learning using EEG and audio datasets. The proposed framework stands out from other classification techniques for MDD due to its special features, such as multimodality and data privacy for edge machines with limited resources. Due to these additional features, the framework concept is the most suitable alternative approach for the early classification of MDD patients.

    Abstract Objective: The aim of the present work was to propose and implement deep neural network (DNN)-based handheld diagnosis system for more accurate diagnosis and severity assessment of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
    Methods: Initially, the learning of the proposed system for ASD diagnosis was performed by implementing DNN algorithms such as a convolutional neural network (CNN) and long short-term memory (LSTM), and multilayer perceptron (MLP) with DSM-V based acquired dataset. The performance of the DNN algorithms was analyzed based on parameters viz. accuracy, loss, mean squared error (MSE), precision, recall, and area under the curve (AUC) during the training and validation process. Later, the optimum DNN algorithm, among the tested algorithms, was implemented on handheld diagnosis system (HDS) and the performance of HDS was analyzed. The stability of proposed DNN-based HDS was validated with the dataset group of 20 ASD and 20 typically developed (TD) individuals.
    Results: It was observed during comparative analysis that LSTM resulted better in ASD diagnosis as compared to other artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms such as CNN and MLP since LSTM showed stabilized results achieving maximum accuracy in less consumption of epochs with minimum MSE and loss. Further, the LSTM based proposed HDS for ASD achieved optimum results with 100% accuracy in reference to DSM-V, which was validated statistically using a group of ASD and TD individuals.
    Conclusion: The use of advanced AI algorithms could play an important role in the diagnosis of ASD in today's era. Since the proposed LSTM based HDS for ASD and determination of its severity provided accurate results with maximum accuracy with reference to DSM-V criteria, the proposed HDS could be the best alternative to the manual diagnosis system for diagnosis of ASD.

    Abstract Prognostic survival prediction in colorectal cancer (CRC) plays a crucial role in guiding treatment decisions and improving patient outcomes. In this research, we explore the application of deep learning techniques to predict survival outcomes based on histopathological images of human colorectal cancer. We present a retrospective multicenter study utilizing a dataset of 100,000 nonoverlapping image patches from hematoxylin & eosin-stained histological images of CRC and normal tissue. The dataset includes diverse tissue classes such as adipose, background, debris, lymphocytes, mucus, smooth muscle, normal colon mucosa, cancer-associated stroma, and colorectal adenocarcinoma epithelium. To perform survival prediction, we employ various deep learning architectures, including convolutional neural network, DenseNet201, InceptionResNetV2, VGG16, VGG19, and Xception. These architectures are trained on the dataset using a multicenter retrospective analysis approach. Extensive preprocessing steps are undertaken, including image normalization using Macenko's method and data augmentation techniques, to optimize model performance. The experimental findings reveal promising results, demonstrating the effectiveness of deep learning models in prognostic survival prediction. Our models achieve high accuracy, precision, recall, and validation metrics, showcasing their ability to capture relevant histological patterns associated with prognosis. Visualization techniques are employed to interpret the models' decision-making process, highlighting important features and regions contributing to survival predictions. The implications of this research are manifold. The accurate prediction of survival outcomes in CRC can aid in personalized medicine and clinical decision-making, facilitating tailored treatment plans for individual patients. The identification of important histological features and biomarkers provides valuable insights into disease mechanisms and may lead to the discovery of novel prognostic indicators. The transparency and explainability of the models enhance trust and acceptance, fostering their integration into clinical practice. Research demonstrates the potential of deep learning models for prognostic survival prediction in human colorectal cancer histology. The findings contribute to the understanding of disease progression and offer practical applications in personalized medicine. By harnessing the power of deep learning and histopathological analysis, we pave the way for improved patient care, clinical decision support, and advancements in prognostic prediction in CRC.

    Abstract Objective: Today, most of the individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) have atypical sensory behaviors. The main aim of this study is to propose an assistive intervention for supporting the overloaded sensory responses in hypersensitive individuals with ASD.
    Methods: The vision, auditory, smell, and physical balance related multi-sensors based hardware prototype, namely Assistive Companion for Hypersensitive Individuals (ACHI) has been designed for individuals with ASD. The proposed ACHI prototype is an assistive-technology based companion for hypersensitive individuals with ASD which is able to 'fetch/detect the sensory information using electronic sensors', 'making the decision using fuzzy logic on the basis of fetched sensory information' and then, 'transmit the generated information over the internet through the Internet of Things (IoT)', and also able for 'generating alerts to caregivers'. The proposed design is also capable of providing audio & video feedback to calm down individuals with ASD.
    Results: After testing, it is observed that 93% percent of the caregivers rated the proposed ACHI intervention on the scale of above average. The remarkable reduction in hyperactive states related triggering incidents in ASD has been found with the use of ACHI.
    Conclusion: The present work and the proposed prototype can identify and control the sensory overload triggers in ASD and it can guide the caregiver or clinicians to optimize the responsible surrounding causes of explosive behavior in ASD and would help the individuals with ASD to become calm.
