Load forecasting in Smart Grids (SG) is a major module of current energy management systems, that play a vital role in optimizing resource allocation, improving grid stability, and assisting the combination of renewable energy sources (RES). It contains the predictive of electricity consumption forms over certain time intervals. Load Forecasting remains a stimulating task as load data has exhibited changing patterns because of factors such as weather change and shifts in energy usage behaviour. The beginning of advanced data analytics and machine learning (ML) approaches; particularly deep learning (DL) has mostly enhanced load forecasting accuracy. Deep neural networks (DNNs) namely Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) have achieved popularity for their capability to capture difficult temporal dependencies in load data. This study designs a Short-Load Forecasting scheme using a Hybrid Deep Learning and Beluga Whale Optimization (LFS-HDLBWO) approach. The major intention of the LFS-HDLBWO technique is to predict the load in the SG environment. To accomplish this, the LFS-HDLBWO technique initially uses a Z-score normalization approach for scaling the input dataset. Besides, the LFS-HDLBWO technique makes use of convolutional bidirectional long short-term memory with an autoencoder (CBLSTM-AE) model for load prediction purposes. Finally, the BWO algorithm could be used for optimal hyperparameter selection of the CBLSTM-AE algorithm, which helps to enhance the overall prediction results. A wide-ranging experimental analysis was made to illustrate the better predictive results of the LFS-HDLBWO method. The obtained value demonstrates the outstanding performance of the LFS-HDLBWO system over other existing DL algorithms with a minimum average error rate of 3.43 and 2.26 under FE and Dayton grid datasets, respectively.

Cloud computing is one of the most commonly used infrastructures for carrying out activities using virtual machines known as processing units. One of the most fundamental issues with cloud computing is task scheduling. The optimal determination of scheduling criteria in cloud computing is a non-deterministic polynomial-time (NP)-complete optimization problem, and several procedures to manage this problem have been suggested by researchers in the past. Among these methods, the Heterogeneous Earliest Finish Time (HEFT) algorithm is recognized to produce optimal outcomes in a shorter time period for scheduling tasks in a heterogeneous environment. Literature shows that HEFT gives extraordinary results in terms of quality of schedule and execution time. However, in some cases, the average computation cost and selection of the first idle slot may not produce a good solution. Therefore, here we propose modified versions of the HEFT algorithm that can obtain improved results. In the rank generation phase, we implement different methodologies for calculating ranks, while in the processor selection phase, we modify the way of selecting idle slots for scheduling the tasks. This paper suggests enhanced versions of the HEFT algorithm under user-required financial constraints to minimize the makespan of a specified workflow submission on virtual machines. Our findings also suggest that enhanced versions of the HEFT algorithm perform better than the basic HEFT method in terms of lesser schedule length of the workflow problems running on various virtual machines.

The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technology with deep learning (DL) algorithms has revolutionized plant disease detection and crop management and paved the way for sustainable agricultural practices. Real-time information on soil moisture, plant health, and environmental conditions can be collected by deploying a network of connected devices and sensors in agricultural fields. DL algorithms, specifically convolutional neural networks (CNN), analyze this massive dataset, facilitating timely and accurate recognition of plant diseases. This early detection allows farmers to implement targeted interventions, like adjustment to irrigation or precision application of pesticides, maximizing crop yield, and minimizing resource wastage. Therefore, this article develops an automated Plant Disease Detection and Crop Management using a spotted hyena optimizer with deep learning (APDDCM-SHODL) technique for Sustainable Agriculture. The APDDCM-SHODL approach aims to detect the existence of plant diseases and improve crop productivity in the IoT infrastructure. To achieve this, the APDDCM-SHODL method primarily employs the Vector Median Filter (VMF) technique. In addition, the Densely Connected Networks (DenseNet201) model is deployed for feature extraction. In addition, the SHO technique is exploited for optimum hyperparameter tuning of the DenseNet201 model. Furthermore, the classification algorithm is implemented by using the recurrent spiking neural network (RSNN) model. A brief set of experiments has been made to determine the experimental validation of the APDDCM-SHODL model. The comprehensive results inferred that the APDDCM-SHODL method reaches remarkable performance over other existing methods with the highest accuracy of 98.60%.

Breast cancer is responsible for the deaths of thousands of women each year. The diagnosis of breast cancer (BC) frequently makes the use of several imaging techniques. On the other hand, incorrect identification might occasionally result in unnecessary therapy and diagnosis. Therefore, the accurate identification of breast cancer can save a significant number of patients from undergoing unnecessary surgery and biopsy procedures. As a result of recent developments in the field, the performance of deep learning systems used for medical image processing has showed significant benefits. Deep learning (DL) models have found widespread use for the aim of extracting important features from histopathologic BC images. This has helped to improve the classification performance and has assisted in the automation of the process. In recent times, both convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and hybrid models of deep learning-based approaches have demonstrated impressive performance. In this research, three different types of CNN models are proposed: a straightforward CNN model (1-CNN), a fusion CNN model (2-CNN), and a three CNN model (3-CNN). The findings of the experiment demonstrate that the techniques based on the 3-CNN algorithm performed the best in terms of accuracy (90.10%), recall (89.90%), precision (89.80%), and f1-Score (89.90%). In conclusion, the CNN-based approaches that have been developed are contrasted with more modern machine learning and deep learning models. The application of CNN-based methods has resulted in a significant increase in the accuracy of the BC classification.

An early detection of tomato leaf diseases is crucial for ensuring high-quality and abundant crop production. There is a growing need for an Android application that can identify these diseases and alert farmers to take timely and effective measures, thereby reducing crop yield losses. While deep learning models have been instrumental in detecting plant leaf diseases, they often involve complex models and significant computational demands to achieve optimal performance. This study introduces a feasible lightweight model optimized for an Android application to detect diseased areas within images. This research focuses on enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of tomato leaf disease detection by modifying mobile-based Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). This model employs two parallel network streams based on the core principles of MobileNetv3, utilizing inverted residual blocks (IRBs) to improve accuracy at both low and high-level features, operating across different image dimensions. Additionally, inverted residual connections are incorporated to expand the model’s receptive field. To maximize feature utilization, cross-layer connections are introduced between the two parallel streams, integrating the Efficient Channel Attention (ECA) module to reduce the number of parameters. The model is trained using transfer learning with specific adjustments to minimize detection errors and is fine-tuned using a tomato leaf disease image dataset extracted from Plant Village. This feature integration and data analysis scheme are then deployed to provide a tomato leaf disease detection Android app. Evaluation of the model’s performance is conducted through correct predictions and quality metrics, with the average training accuracy for the ten classes found to be 98.77%. The research aims to assess the model’s effectiveness through comprehensive experiments, ultimately contributing to advancements in agricultural applications.

Dyslexia is a complex learning disorder that affects neurological nerves in the brain and makes reading and writing difficult; therefore, early diagnosis for effective interventions becomes important. This study demonstrates how quickly dyslexia can be identified by introducing an advanced convolutional neural network model developed for detecting dyslexia through image-based handwriting analysis. The need for early identification is informed by the fact that dyslexia may, in certain cases, lead to poor academic performance and emotional imbalance among learners. This method of using deep learning outperforms all other established conventional methods due to inherent sensitivity in classifying handwritings of dyslexics from those of normal individuals. The artificial intelligence (AI)-supported technology has the highest training accuracy of 99.5% proving its ability to capture subtle features related to the presence of dyslexic tendencies. Consequently, it records a testing accuracy of 96.4%, thereby confirming its efficacy under practical circumstances. In addition, the model also shows a good F1-score of 96 which indicates that it can achieve a balanced precision versus recall trade-off unlike other state-of-the-art approaches. The obtained results of the proposed methodology were compared with those of previous state–of-the-art approaches, and it has been observed that the proposed study provides better outcomes. These detailed performance indicators point toward the potential usefulness of AI-based methods in identifying dyslexia thus informing appropriate interventions on time and targeted assistance to the patients suffering from this disease.
