Among various calamities, conflagrations stand out as one of the most-prevalent and -menacing adversities, posing significant perils to public safety and societal progress. Traditional fire-detection systems primarily rely on sensor-based detection techniques, which have inherent limitations in accurately and promptly detecting fires, especially in complex environments. In recent years, with the advancement of computer vision technology, video-oriented fire detection techniques, owing to their non-contact sensing, adaptability to diverse environments, and comprehensive information acquisition, have progressively emerged as a novel solution. However, approaches based on handcrafted feature extraction struggle to cope with variations in smoke or flame caused by different combustibles, lighting conditions, and other factors. As a powerful and flexible machine learning framework, deep learning has demonstrated significant advantages in video fire detection. This paper summarizes deep-learning-based video-fire-detection methods, focusing on recent advances in deep learning approaches and commonly used datasets for fire recognition, fire object detection, and fire segmentation. Furthermore, this paper provides a review and outlook on the development prospects of this field.

Convolutional neural networks (CNN) are relational with grid-structures and spatial dependencies for two-dimensional images to exploit location adjacencies, color values, and hidden patterns. Convolutional neural networks use sparse connections at high-level sensitivity with layered connection complying indiscriminative disciplines with local spatial mapping footprints. This fact varies with architectural dependencies, insight inputs, number and types of layers and its fusion with derived signatures. This research focuses this gap by incorporating GoogLeNet, VGG-19, and ResNet-50 architectures with maximum response based Eigenvalues textured and convolutional Laplacian scaled object features with mapped colored channels to obtain the highest image retrieval rates over millions of images from versatile semantic groups and benchmarks. Time and computation efficient formulation of the presented model is a step forward in deep learning fusion and smart signature capsulation for innovative descriptor creation. Remarkable results on challenging benchmarks are presented with a thorough contextualization to provide insight CNN effects with anchor bindings. The presented method is tested on well-known datasets including ALOT (250), Corel-1000, Cifar-10, Corel-10000, Cifar-100, Oxford Buildings, FTVL Tropical Fruits, 17-Flowers, Fashion (15), Caltech-256, and reported outstanding performance. The presented work is compared with state-of-the-art methods and experimented over tiny, large, complex, overlay, texture, color, object, shape, mimicked, plain and occupied background, multiple objected foreground images, and marked significant accuracies.

The lack of sentiment resources in poor resource languages poses challenges for the sentiment analysis in which machine learning is involved. Cross-lingual and semi-supervised learning approaches have been deployed to represent the most common ways that can overcome this issue. However, performance of the existing methods degrades due to the poor quality of translated resources, data sparseness and more specifically, language divergence. An integrated learning model that uses a semi-supervised and an ensembled model while utilizing the available sentiment resources to tackle language divergence related issues is proposed. Additionally, to reduce the impact of translation errors and handle instance selection problem, we propose a clustering-based bee-colony-sample selection method for the optimal selection of most distinguishing features representing the target data. To evaluate the proposed model, various experiments are conducted employing an English-Arabic cross-lingual data set. Simulations results demonstrate that the proposed model outperforms the baseline approaches in terms of classification performances. Furthermore, the statistical outcomes indicate the advantages of the proposed training data sampling and target-based feature selection to reduce the negative effect of translation errors. These results highlight the fact that the proposed approach achieves a performance that is close to in-language supervised models.
