Skin cancer is caused due to unusual development of skin cells and deadly type cancer. Early diagnosis is very significant and can avoid some categories of skin cancers, such as melanoma and focal cell carcinoma. The recognition and the classification of skin malignant growth in the beginning time is expensive and challenging. The deep learning architectures such as recurrent networks and convolutional neural networks (ConvNets) are developed in the past, which are proven appropriate for non-handcrafted extraction of complex features. To additional expand the efficiency of the ConvNet models, a cascaded ensembled network that uses an integration of ConvNet and handcrafted features based multi-layer perceptron is proposed in this work. This offered model utilizes the convolutional neural network model to mine non-handcrafted image features and colour moments and texture features as handcrafted features. It is demonstrated that accuracy of ensembled deep learning model is improved to 98.3% from 85.3% of convolutional neural network model.

This paper aims at collecting and analysing temperature, rainfall, soil, seed, crop production, humidity and wind speed data (in a few regions), which will help the farmers improve the produce of their crops. Firstly, we pre-process the data in a Python environment and then apply the MapReduce framework, which further analyses and processes the large volume of data. Secondly, k-means clustering is employed on results gained from MapReduce and provides a mean result on the data in terms of accuracy. After that, we use bar graphs and scatter plots to study the relationship between the crop, rainfall, temperature, soil and seed type of two regions (Ahmednagar, Maharashtra and, Andaman and Nicobar Islands). Further, a self-designed recommender system has been used to predict the crops and display them on a Graphic User Interface designed in a Flask environment. The system design is scalable and can be used to find the recommended crops of other states in a similar manner in the future.

DNN based approach to classify Covid’19 using convolutional neural network and transfer learning

Music genre classification (MGC) is the process of putting genre labels on music by analyzing the sounds or words. With the rapid growth of music data repositories, MGC can be used in a lot of ways to organize and manage music recommendation systems, advertising, and streaming services. But there have been a lot of works on classifying English music using different statistical and machine learning methods, but there hasn’t been much progress in classifying Bengali music. Also, Deep Learning (DL) methods have been used in a few important ways to classify different types of music. The content and uniqueness of Bengali music make it much more interesting. Also, there is still a lot to learn about how to use the DL approach in Bengali music. So, Bengali music genre classification is a pretty new area of research in the field of Deep Learning. In this paper, we developed a unique technique called BMNet-5 to perform a multiclass classification of Bangla music genres such as “Bangla Adhunik,” “Bangla Hip-Hop,” “Bangla Band Music,” “Nazrulgeeti,” “Palligeeti,” and “Rabindra Sangeet.” We show the effectiveness of the suggested technique by extracting features from a dataset of 1742 Bangla music pieces and evaluating the automated classification judgments. The proposed BMNet-5 is based on a neural network designed to predict music genre from audio inputs. Our suggested model outperformed the corresponding previous research with an accuracy of 90.32%. The BMNet-5 model is then tested for performance consistency using K-fold cross validation with varying k values. Finally, we use the suggested model to train the interpretable SHAP model for all the genre of the Bangla music dataset, and the development of an explainable outcome may have a significant advantage.

BMNet-5: A Novel Approach of Neural Network to Classify the Genre of Bengali Music Based on Audio Features

Music is a heavenly way of expressing feelings about the world. The language of music has vast diversity. For centuries, people have indulged in debates to stratisfy between Western and Indian Classical Music. But through this paper, an understanding can be fabricated while differentiating the types of Indian Classical Music. Classical music is one of the essential characteristics of Indian Cultural Heritage. Indian Classical Music is divided into two major parts, i.e. Hindustani and Carnatic. Models have been sculptured and trained to classify between Hindustani and Carnatic Music. In this paper, two approaches are used to implement classification models. MFCCs are used as features and implemented models like DNN (1 Layer, 2 Layers, 3 Layers), CNN (1 Layer, 2 Layers, 3 Layers), RNN-LSTM, SVM (Sigmoid, Polynomial & Gaussian Kernel) as one approach. A 3 channels input is created by merging features like MFCC, Spectrogram and Scalogram and implemented models like VGG-16, CNN (1 Layer, 2 Layers, 3 Layers), ResNet-50 as another approach. 3 Layered CNN and RNN-LSTM model performed best among all the approaches.

The COVID-19 now became a pandemic and rising rapidly and spreading in all parts of the world like fire. India reported its first COVID-19 case on January 30, when a student arrived in Kerala from Wuhan. Thousands of people are acquiring this deadly virus daily and with many people dying from it. The major concern of all the countries is to protect its citizens and try to eradicate this disease as fast as possible. This paper aims to perform exploratory analysis using the concepts of data science on the confirmed cases, total deaths, and total recovered cases of this virus. The research work predicts the spread of the outbreak for the next five days by using time-series forecasting algorithms. This paper deals with learning about how the corona virus is spreading and using that trend to predict for the upcoming days. It would be able to predict to a suitable accuracy which can help the government learn about the statistics of this disease and prepare further for protection against this. The results are discussed at last with prediction and error estimates.
