Hybrid Ensemble Learning for Real-Time Predictive Maintenance in Vehicular Engine Health Monitoring Systems
type: item
description: Vehicular engine failures are a major contributor to unplanned maintenance costs, operational downtime, and reduced road safety. Traditional diagnostic systems often rely on rule-based thresholds or simple machine learning models, which struggle to detect complex, evolving engine faults under real-world conditions. Accurate and interpretable predictive maintenance frameworks are essential to address the increasing demand for intelligent and reliable engine health monitoring. This study proposes a novel hybrid ensemble learning framework for real-time engine fault detection and classification, aimed at enhancing prediction accuracy and diagnostic robustness. The system integrates multiple base classifiers—Random Forest (RF), K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), and Gradient Boosting (GBM)—within a stacked generalization architecture, using a Logistic Regression meta-learner. Deep learning enhancements, including an attention-augmented LSTM module, are applied to capture temporal patterns in engine sensor data. Real-time data from OBD-II and CAN bus systems are preprocessed using normalization, label encoding, and outlier handling techniques. Experimental evaluations on a multi-parameter engine dataset demonstrate that the proposed ensemble model achieves an accuracy of 90.2%, outperforming baseline models such as RF (86.5%) and SVM (85.4%). The system also reduces the false positive rate to 4.2%, and improves recall for rare but critical faults. This work contributes a scalable, interpretable, and high-performance diagnostic solution with strong applicability to Edge AI, fleet maintenance systems, and connected vehicle ecosystems.

description: The accurate classification of bio-signals, particularly electrocardiogram (ECG) signals, plays a vital role in the early diagnosis and management of cardiovascular diseases. Traditional machine learning approaches often struggle with the complexity and variability of ECG signals, necessitating more robust, scalable solutions. This study aims to develop and evaluate a deep learning-enhanced framework for ECG signal classification and heart disease prediction across multiple conditions. The proposed methodology integrates a systematic preprocessing pipeline, advanced feature extraction, and comparative evaluation of three classifiers: Random Forest (RF), Artificial Neural Network (ANN), and One-Dimensional Convolutional Neural Network (CNN-1D). The ECG Heartbeat Categorization Dataset [30], containing over 10,000 labeled samples, was employed to train and validate the models. Key techniques included Min-Max normalization, zero-filling for missing data, grid search hyperparameter tuning, and multidimensional evaluation metrics such as precision, recall, F1-score, and computational efficiency. Experimental results demonstrated that the ANN model achieved the highest classification accuracy of 97.5%, followed by CNN-1D with 94.16%, and Random Forest with 88.61%. The ANN also recorded an AUC value of 0.985, indicating superior discrimination capability. Training times varied, with Random Forest completing within 0.4 minutes and CNN-1D requiring approximately 11.7 minutes. Statistical analysis confirmed the significance of these results with p-values less than 0.001. In conclusion, the proposed deep learning framework offers a robust, scalable, and computationally efficient solution for ECG-based heart disease prediction. Future work will focus on expanding the dataset, enhancing model interpretability, and incorporating transfer learning techniques to further improve diagnostic accuracy and real-world applicability

type: item
description: Earthquakes pose a significant threat to human safety and infrastructure, making early detection and warning systems critical for disaster preparedness. Traditional Earthquake Early Warning Systems (EEWS) often rely on costly physical sensors, limiting their scalability and accessibility. This study proposes a sensor-free earthquake alert system that utilizes publicly available seismic data and machine learning (ML) techniques to predict earthquake magnitudes and provide real-time alerts. The objective of this research is to develop a cost-effective, scalable, and accurate earthquake prediction system using XGBoost, a gradient boosting machine learning algorithm, applied to seismic data sourced from the USGS public network. The system employs advanced feature extraction techniques such as Fourier and wavelet transforms to capture key seismic characteristics, while a weighted loss function is used to address class imbalance in earthquake magnitudes. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed model achieves 92.5% accuracy, with an F1-score of 0.88, significantly outperforming existing models in terms of computational efficiency and training time. Comparative analysis shows that the proposed system outperforms deep learning and ensemble methods, which struggle with resource consumption and slow prediction times. Statistical analysis confirmed that the proposed model’s performance improvements were statistically significant (p-value = 0.0012). This study contributes to the development of scalable, cost-efficient earthquake prediction systems. The sensor-free approach offers a promising solution for regions lacking advanced seismic infrastructure, with significant real-world implications for disaster preparedness and early warning systems. Future research should focus on improving the model's sensitivity to low-magnitude events and its robustness in noisy, real-time data environments.

Hybrid Image Deblurring Using Auto-Encoders and Hierarchical Attention Transformer: A Deep Learning Framework for Blur Restoration
type: item
description: Image blurring remains a critical challenge in digital imaging, adversely affecting tasks across photography, surveillance, medical diagnostics, and autonomous navigation. Traditional deblurring methods often rely on blur kernel estimation and handcrafted priors, which limit their adaptability to real-world, spatially varying distortions. This study proposes a novel hybrid deep learning framework that integrates a Convolutional Auto-Encoder with a Hierarchical Attention Transformer (HAT) to effectively address the limitations of existing methods. The model architecture consists of a multi-stage pipeline that begins with an auto-encoder for latent feature compression, followed by a HAT-based backbone to capture long-range dependencies and contextual information. The final reconstruction decoder restores high-fidelity sharp images. The framework is evaluated on GoPro and REDS datasets, utilizing comprehensive metrics including PSNR, SSIM, inference time, and FLOPs. Data augmentation and stratified sampling were applied to ensure robustness, while a hybrid loss combining L1 and perceptual loss guided training. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves state-of-the-art performance with a PSNR of 33.68 dB and SSIM of 0.934 on the GoPro dataset, outperforming Restormer, NAFNet, and MIMO-UNet. Despite integrating attention mechanisms, the model maintains competitive inference speed (41.3 ms/image), making it suitable for real-time applications. This work highlights the synergy between encoder-based representation learning and transformer-based attention modeling, offering a scalable and efficient solution for image restoration under diverse blur conditions

type: item
description: Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, accounting for approximately 1.80 million deaths in 2020. Early detection of pulmonary nodules significantly improves patient survival yet differentiating between benign and malignant nodules remains challenging due to their morphological similarity in early stages. Manual interpretation of CT scans is labor-intensive and prone to diagnostic error, necessitating reliable automated solutions. This study proposes a unified deep learning framework that integrates U-Net for nodule segmentation, Feature Pyramid Networks (FPN) for multi-scale feature extraction, and EfficientNet for nodule classification. The model is trained and evaluated using the publicly available LIDC-IDRI dataset, comprising 12,000 labelled and 3,000 unlabeled CT images. To address class imbalance and limited annotations, a semi-supervised learning strategy with pseudo-labeling is employed. Preprocessing includes Gaussian blurring, morphological filtering, and intensity normalization, followed by data augmentation to enhance generalizability. Experimental results demonstrate a peak classification accuracy of 91.67%, a segmentation Dice score of 0.5009, and low false positive/negative rates, validating the model’s robustness. The EfficientNet-based classifier shows significant performance gains over baseline CNN architectures, while maintaining computational efficiency. This end-to-end framework enables reliable lung nodule analysis with potential real-world applications in early cancer diagnosis, especially in resource-constrained clinical environments. The findings suggest that combining segmentation and classification into a single pipeline enhances diagnostic precision and paves the way for future AI-driven medical imaging solutions

type: item
description: This paper presents a comprehensive framework to improve movie recommendation accuracy and personalization by integrating sentiment analysis. Traditional recommendation systems, based on collaborative and content-based filtering, often fail to capture the emotional nuances embedded in user-generated reviews. To address this limitation, the proposed system leverages aspect-based sentiment analysis (ABSA) to extract detailed sentiment scores for key movie attributes such as storyline, acting, visuals, and soundtrack. These insights are incorporated into a hybrid recommendation approach that combines collaborative filtering and content-based filtering methods to deliver more contextually relevant recommendations. The sentiment classifier demonstrated a robust performance, achieving an accuracy of 92%, with precision, recall, and F1-scores exceeding 90% for all sentiment classes. Aspect-based sentiment analysis revealed strong user preferences for acting (90% positive sentiments) and storyline (85% positive sentiments), while visuals and soundtrack also received predominantly positive feedback. The hybrid recommender system outperformed standalone techniques, achieving a precision of 91% and reducing the Mean Absolute Error (MAE) to 0.65, thereby ensuring higher recommendation accuracy. Evaluation results underscore the system’s ability to align recommendations with users' emotional and qualitative preferences, significantly enhancing user satisfaction. The findings highlight the potential of integrating sentiment analysis to bridge the gap between user expectations and algorithmic predictions. Future directions include real-time sentiment analysis, multimedia content integration, and advanced deep learning models to further enhance the scalability and applicability of the system in dynamic entertainment ecosystems.
