Planning effective routes and monitoring vehicle traffic are essential for creating sustainable smart cities. Accurate speed prediction is a key component of these efforts, as it aids in alleviating traffic congestion. While their physical proximity is important, the interconnection of these road segments is what significantly contributes to the increase of traffic congestion. This interconnectedness poses a significant challenge to increasing prediction accuracy. To address this, we propose a novel approach based on Deep Graph Neural Networks (DGNNs), which represent the connectedness of road sections as a graph using Graph Neural Networks (GNNs). In this study, we implement the proposed approach, called STGGAN, for real-time traffic-speed estimation using two different actual traffic datasets: PeMSD4 and PeMSD8. The experimental results validate the prediction accuracy values of 96.67% and 98.75% for the PeMSD4 and PeMSD8 datasets, respectively. The computation of mean squared error (MSE), root mean squared error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE) and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) also shows a progressive decline in these error values with increasing iteration count, demonstrating the success of the suggested technique. To confirm the feasibility, reliability, and applicability of the suggested STGGAN technique, we also perform a comparison analysis, including several statistical, analytical, and machine-learning- and deep-learning-based approaches. Our work contributes significantly to the field of traffic-speed estimation by considering the structure and characteristics of road networks through the implementation of DGNNs. The proposed technique trains a neural network to accurately predict traffic flow using data from the entire road network. Additionally, we extend DGNNs by incorporating Gated Graph Attention Network (GGAN) blocks, enabling the modification of the input and output to sequential graphs. The prediction accuracy of the proposed model based on DGNNs is thoroughly evaluated through extensive tests on real-world datasets, providing a comprehensive comparison with existing state-of-the-art models for traffic-flow forecasting.

Agriculture encompasses the study, practice, and discipline of plant cultivation. Agriculture has an extensive history dating back thousands of years. Depending on climate and terrain, it began independently in various locations on the planet. In comparison to what could be sustained by foraging and gathering, agriculture has the potential to significantly increase the human population. Throughout the twenty-first century, precision farming (PF) has increased the agricultural output. precision agriculture (PA) is a technology-enabled method of agriculture that assesses, monitors, and evaluates the needs of specific fields and commodities. The primary objective of this farming method, as opposed to conventional farming, is to increase crop yields and profitability through the precise application of inputs. This work describes in depth the development and function of artificial intelligence (AI) and the internet of things (IoT) in contemporary agriculture.

Breast cancer, a leading cause of female mortality worldwide, poses a significant health challenge. Recent advancements in deep learning techniques have revolutionized breast cancer pathology by enabling accurate image classification. Various imaging methods, such as mammography, CT, MRI, ultrasound, and biopsies, aid in breast cancer detection. Computer-assisted pathological image classification is of paramount importance for breast cancer diagnosis. This study introduces a novel approach to breast cancer histopathological image classification. It leverages modified pre-trained CNN models and attention mechanisms to enhance model interpretability and robustness, emphasizing localized features and enabling accurate discrimination of complex cases. Our method involves transfer learning with deep CNN models—Xception, VGG16, ResNet50, MobileNet, and DenseNet121—augmented with the convolutional block attention module (CBAM). The pre-trained models are finetuned, and the two CBAM models are incorporated at the end of the pre-trained models. The models are compared to state-of-the-art breast cancer diagnosis approaches and tested for accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score. The confusion matrices are used to evaluate and visualize the results of the compared models. They help in assessing the models’ performance. The test accuracy rates for the attention mechanism (AM) using the Xception model on the “BreakHis” breast cancer dataset are encouraging at 99.2% and 99.5%. The test accuracy for DenseNet121 with AMs is 99.6%. The proposed approaches also performed better than previous approaches examined in the related studies.

Graph neural networks (GNNs) have revolutionised the processing of information by facilitating the transmission of messages between graph nodes.
