An accurate renewable energy output forecast is essential for energy efficiency and power system stability. Long Short-Term Memory(LSTM), Bidirectional LSTM(BiLSTM), Gated Recurrent Unit(GRU), and Convolutional Neural Network-LSTM(CNN-LSTM) Deep Neural Network (DNN) topologies are tested for solar and wind power production forecasting in this study. ARIMA was compared to the models. This study offers a unique architecture for Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) that are specifically tailored for renewable energy forecasting, optimizing accuracy by advanced hyperparameter tuning and the incorporation of essential meteorological and temporal variables. The optimized LSTM model outperformed others, with MAE (0.08765), MSE (0.00876), RMSE (0.09363), MAPE (3.8765), and R2 (0.99234) values. The GRU, CNN-LSTM, and BiLSTM models predicted well. Meteorological and time-based factors enhanced model accuracy. The addition of sun and wind data improved its prediction. The results show that advanced deep neural network (DNN) models can predict renewable energy, highlighting the importance of carefully selecting characteristics and fine-tuning the model. This work improves renewable energy estimates to promote a more reliable and environmentally sustainable electricity system.

Energy is fundamental to all significant human endeavors and is crucial for sustaining life and realizing human potential. With the advent of smart homes, energy consumption is increasing as new technologies are introduced, leading to shifts in both lifestyle and societal norms. This scenario presents a unique energy challenge that requires extraordinary efforts to meet the anticipated energy demands. Various innovative strategies are being implemented to overcome the drawbacks and address the growing consumer demand for energy. Today, smart homes offer much more than just basic functions; they also focus on resource management, energy efficiency, and enhancing quality of life. Machine Learning (ML) plays a vital role in smart homes as it allows for the training, adjustment, and optimization of various functions. This intelligent, purposeful capacity has the potential to turn homes into dynamic and practical environments that improve daily performance, ease, and personalization. In this research, an ML-based multivariate model is proposed utilizing Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) for smart homes, aiming to optimize energy utilization and improve management in the realm of energy consumption. This model offers precise predictions of energy consumption, ensuring minimal random errors. Prominent metrics include a low Mean Squared Error (MSE) of 0.02284, a high Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of 0.184, a Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) of 0.123, the lowest Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) at 0.15113, a significant Mean Absolute Scaled Error (MASE) of 0.996, and a strong R-squared value (R2) of 0.694. The proposed model delivers exceptional predictive performance as compared to the previous approaches, ensuring high reliability, which aligns with the standards needed for advancing toward a smart and sustainable future.

The intricacies and instability of introducing cryogenic propellants into the combustion system have piqued the curiosity of scientists studying the procedure. The latest innovation is utilizing data-driven machine learning and deep learning approaches to gain deeper insights into the related difficulties. However, the current work serves as a baseline for future research because relatively few studies have used data-driven methodologies to assess the temperature of liquid fuel injections in combustion systems. The performance of Linear Regression (LR), Random Forest (RF), Extra Trees Regressor (ETR), Polynomial Regression (PR), Support Vector Regressor (SVR), Decision Tree Regressor (DTR), Gradient Boost Regressor (GBR), XGB Regressor (XGBoost), AdaBoost Regressor (ABR), K-Neighbors Regressor (KNR), Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM), Bi-LSTM (Bi-directional Long-Short Term Memory) has all been investigated in this study. The study also suggested a Fully Connected Neural Network (FCNN) to examine its performance and paired it with an Extra Tree Regressor (ETR). The coupled FCNN and Extra Tree Regressor outperform the other algorithms with a Mean Square Error (MSE) of 0.0000005062, Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of 0.00071148, Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of 0.00020672, and R-squared (R2) value of 0.99998689. Linear Regression, Polynomial Regression, and Support Vector Regressor are found to be the least-performing algorithms. The current work uses machine learning and deep learning methods to make data-driven decisions for liquid fuel injection in the combustion system.

Sustainable agriculture is being transformed by drone-IoT integration, improving precision, efficiency, and sustainability. This study examines the pros and downsides of using various technologies to handle connectivity, data management, and power consumption issues. We assess existing integration methods, such as multispectral imaging, real-time IoT monitoring, and machine learning-driven predictive analytics, to gain actionable insights into soil health, crop conditions, and pest control. We also explore regulatory frameworks and technical constraints, including data security and affordability that prevent widespread use. Research shows that drone IoT solutions improve agricultural output, resource consumption, and farm efficiency, but cost and infrastructure hurdles limit availability, especially for smallholder farmers. These findings show that supporting regulatory frameworks and economical technology solutions are needed to increase adoption. Advances in agricultural autonomous decision-making could increase food security and sustainable farming worldwide.

Skin Cancer is an extensive and possibly dangerous disorder that requires early detection for effective treatment. Add specific global statistics on skin cancer prevalence and mortality to emphasize the importance of early detection. Example: “Skin cancer accounts for 1 in 5 diagnosed cancers globally, with melanoma causing over 60,000 deaths annually. Manual skin cancer screening is both time-intensive and expensive. Deep learning (DL) techniques have shown exceptional performance in various applications and have been applied to systematize skin cancer diagnosis. However, training DL models for skin cancer diagnosis is challenging due to limited available data and the risk of overfitting. Traditionally approaches have High computational costs, a lack of interpretability, deal with numerous hyperparameters and spatial variation have always been problems with machine learning (ML) and DL. An innovative method called adaptive learning has been developed to overcome these problems. In this research, we advise an intelligent computer-aided system for automatic skin cancer diagnosis using a two-stage transfer learning approach and Pre-trained Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). CNNs are well-suited for learning hierarchical features from images. Annotated skin cancer photographs are utilized to detect ROIs and reset the initial layer of the pre-trained CNN. The lower-level layers learn about the characteristics and patterns of lesions and unaffected areas by fine-tuning the model. To capture high-level, global features specific to skin cancer, we replace the fully connected (FC) layers, responsible for encoding such features, with a new FC layer based on principal component analysis (PCA). This unsupervised technique enables the mining of discriminative features from the skin cancer images, effectively mitigating overfitting concerns and letting the model adjust structural features of skin cancer images, facilitating effective detection of skin cancer features. The system shows great potential in facilitating the initial screening of skin cancer patients, empowering healthcare professionals to make timely decisions regarding patient referrals to dermatologists or specialists for further diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Our advanced adaptive fine-tuned CNN approach for automatic skin cancer diagnosis offers a valuable tool for efficient and accurate early detection. By leveraging DL and transfer learning techniques, the system has the possible to transform skin cancer diagnosis and improve patient outcomes.
