The use of wearable and Internet-of-Things (IoT) for smart and affordable healthcare is trending. In traditional setups, the cloud backend receives the healthcare data and performs monitoring and prediction for diseases, diagnosis, and wellness prediction. Fog computing (FC) is a distributed computing paradigm that leverages low-power embedded processors in an intermediary node between the client layer and cloud layer. The diagnosis for wellness and fitness monitoring could be transferred to the fog layer from the cloud layer. Such a paradigm leads to a reduction in latency at an increased throughput. This paper processes a fog-based deep learning model, DeepFog that collects the data from individuals and predicts the wellness stats using a deep neural network model that can handle heterogeneous and multidimensional data. The three important abnormalities in wellness namely, (i) diabetes; (ii) hypertension attacks and (iii) stress type classification were chosen for experimental studies. We performed a detailed analysis of proposed models’ accuracy on standard datasets. The results validated the efficacy of the proposed system and architecture for accurate monitoring of these critical wellness and fitness criteria. We used standard datasets and open source software tools for our experiments.

Understanding the situation is a critical component of any self-driving system. Accurate real-time visual signal processing to create pixelwise classed pictures, also known as semantic segmentation, is critical for scenario comprehension and subsequent acceptance of this new technology. Due to the intricate interaction between pixels in each frame of the received camera data, such efficiency in terms of processing time and accuracy could not be achieved prior to recent advances in deep learning algorithms. We present an effective approach for semantic segmentation for self-driving automobiles in this study. We combine deep learning architectures like convolutional neural networks and autoencoders, as well as cutting-edge approaches like feature pyramid networks and bottleneck residual blocks, to develop our model. The CamVid dataset, which has undergone considerable data augmentation, is utilised to train and test our model. To validate the suggested model, we compare the acquired findings to various baseline models reported in the literature.

Developing online educational platforms necessitates the incorporation of new intelligent procedures in order to improve long-term student experience. Presently, e-learning recommender systems rely on deep learning methods to recommend appropriate e-learning materials to the students based on their learner profiles. Fine-grained sentiment analysis (FSA) can be leveraged to enrich the recommender system. User-posted reviews and rating data are vital in accurately directing the student to the appropriate e-learning resources based on posted comments by comparable learners. In this work, a new e-learning recommendation system is proposed based on individualization and FSA. A hybrid framework is provided by integrating alternating least square (ALS) based collaborative filtering (CF) with FSA to generate an effective e-content recommendation named HCFSAR. ALS attempts to capture the learner’s latent factors based on their selections of interest to build the learner profile. Three FSA models based on attention mechanisms and bidirectional long short-term memory (bi-LSTM) are suggested and used to train twelve models in order to predict new ratings from learner-posted book reviews based on the extracted learner profile. HCFSAR used multiplication word embeddings for stronger corpus representation that were trained on a dataset generated for an educational context and showed a better accuracy of 93.39% for the best model entitled MHAM based ABHR-2 with multiplication (MHAAM), which performed better than other models. A tailored dataset that has been created by scraping reviews of different e-learning resources is leveraged to train different proposed models and validate against public datasets.
