In recent years, significant progress has been made in text generation. The latest text generation models are revolutionizing the domain by generating human-like text. It has gained wide popularity recently in many domains like news, social networks, movie script writing, poetry composition, to name a few. The application of text generation in various fields has resulted in a lot of interest from the scientific community in this area. To the best of our knowledge, there is a lack of extensive review and up-to-date body of knowledge of text generation deep learning models. Therefore, this paper aims to bring together all the relevant work in a systematic mapping study highlighting key contributions from various researchers over the years, focusing on the past, present, and future trends. In this work, we have identified 90 primary studies from 2015 to 2021 employing the PRISMA framework. We also identified research gaps that are further needed to be explored by the research community. In the end, we provide some future directions for researchers and guidelines for practitioners based on the findings of this review.

Urdu is still considered a low-resource language despite being ranked as world's 10 th most spoken language with nearly 230 million speakers. The scarcity of benchmark datasets in low-resource languages has led researchers to utilize more ingenious techniques to curb the issue. One such option widely adopted is to use language translation services to replicate existing datasets from resource-rich languages such as English to low-resource languages, such as Urdu. For most natural language processing tasks, including polarity assessment, words translated via Google translator from one language to another often change the meaning. It results in a polarity shift causing the system's performance degradation, particularly for sentiment classification and emotion detection tasks. This study evaluates the effect of translation on the sentiment classification task from a resource-rich language to a low-resource language. It identifies and enlists words causing polarity shift into five distinct categories. It further finds the correlation between the language with similar roots. Our study shows 2-3 percentage points performance degradation in sentiment classification due to polarity shift as a result of translation from resource-rich languages to low-resource languages.

Radiology reports are the primary medium through which physicians communicate with patients and share diagnoses from medical scans. Examples include radiology reports for chest X-Rays and CT scans. Chest X-Ray images are frequently employed in clinical screening and diagnosis. However, writing medical reports for the X-Ray is tedious, error-prone, and time-consuming, even for experienced radiologists. The modern world of clinical practice demands that a radiologist with specialized training manually evaluate chest X-Ray and report the findings. Therefore, this paper explores the ability of artificial intelligence (AI) to automate diagnosing diseases through chest X-Rays and accurately generate radiology reports to alleviate the burdens of medical doctors. Automating this manual process could streamline a clinical workflow, and healthcare quality could be improved. The conventional AI-based abstract methods provide fluent but clinically incorrect radiology reports. The proposed Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) based model provides both stan-dard language generation and clinical coherence. The model is evaluated on the Indiana University dataset with commonly-used metrics BLEU and ROUGE-L. Empirical evaluations illustrate that the proposed approach can make more precise diagnoses and generate more fluent and precise reports than existing baselines.

Cataracts are a leading cause of blindness in Pakistan, contributing to more than 54% of blindness cases in Pakistan, primarily due to poor living conditions, nutritional deficiencies, and limited healthcare access. Early detection is critical to avoid invasive treatments, but current diagnostic approaches often identify cataracts at advanced stages. This paper presents an advanced,automated cataract detection system using deep learning specifically the ResNet-50 architecture, to address this gap. The model processes fundus retinal images curated from diverse datasets, classified by ophthalmologic experts through a rigorous three-stage process. By leveraging the ResNet-50 model, cataracts are categorized into normal,moderate,and severe, achieving an accuracy of 97.15% on full images. Notably, the system performs well even on partial images with 70% visibility, maintaining an accuracy of 95.23%, thus minimizing the need for extensive images restoration. The dataset was augmented to include 17,500 images,ensuring robust training. The model's ability to detect cataracts with high precision in images with varying visibility(70%, 80%, 85% and beyond) demonstrate its flexibility and reliability, consistently achieving accuracy above 95.50%. This research offers a non-invasive, efficient solution particularly suited for remote areas, addressing the limitations of the late-stage diagnoses. It represents a significant advancement in cataract detection and has the potential to revolutionize global cataracts identification through early, accurate intervention.

Early detection of plant diseases is crucial before plant growth is affected. Plant diseases have been detected and classified using a variety of machine learning (ML) models in the past. Deep Learning (DL) appears to have great potential in terms of increased accuracy; however, in agricultural applications of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) has widely been utilised by researchers. CNNs are so effective at identifying plant species, managing yields, detecting weeds, managing soil, and water, counting fruits, detecting diseases and pests, and evaluating plant nutrient status. A farmer can diagnose plant diseases quickly and accurately with an automated disease detection system. To speed up crop diagnosis, plant leaf disease detection systems must be automated. In this paper, we evaluated twelve different models on a new plant diseases dataset and demonstrated that the most accurate model was Densenet169. In training and validation, the accuracy was 97.2% and 97.8%, respectively.
