In this paper, we introduce an end-to-end Amharic text-line image recognition approach based on recurrent neural networks. Amharic is an indigenous Ethiopic script which follows a unique syllabic writing system adopted from an ancient Geez script. This script uses 34 consonant characters with the seven vowel variants of each (called basic characters) and other labialized characters derived by adding diacritical marks and/or removing parts of the basic characters. These associated diacritics on basic characters are relatively smaller in size, visually similar, and challenging to distinguish from the derived characters. Motivated by the recent success of end-to-end learning in pattern recognition, we propose a model which integrates a feature extractor, sequence learner, and transcriber in a unified module and then trained in an end-to-end fashion. The experimental results, on a printed and synthetic benchmark Amharic Optical Character Recognition (OCR) database called ADOCR, demonstrated that the proposed model outperforms state-of-the-art methods by 6.98% and 1.05%, respectively.
Visualization of the knowledge extraction process is a front line to reveal the detail process and data structure, which is an advanced technique for the presentation of data modeling. However, the mechanisms for healthcare are challenging and dynamic processes to gain a clear insight or understanding of patient care. In this paper, we proposed a new approach of architecture and optimization of data mining modeling for visualization of knowledge extraction by analyzing clinical data sets to define the determinant attributes through modeling techniques. Therefore, architecture for the visualization of the knowledge extraction process is a systematic approach to support users to the best of their knowledge of the issues over the challenge of visualizing techniques. The proposed approach is capable and dynamic to handle and analyze large-scale data in its dimension and context. Such a variable is defined using various techniques to characterize them towards the detection of determinant variables as its influential circumstance. We focused on modeling based visualization as model representation, factor's interaction and integration. The detection process experimented in a different approach and justification as discussed in section five. The finding showed a deep understandability for an advanced and dynamic data mining modeling techniques to integrate applications with domain contexts for the optimal and understandable decision process. The strength of this approach is the depth for visualization towards the knowledge extraction process and its understandability for users as per their background and circumstances. It is also essential to inference for architecture based modeling and visualization for large scale data. Researchers, physicians, experts, and other users are the potentials to refer to these novel ideas and findings.

In the past decade, there has been a significant increase in the development and utilization of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) across various industries. Factors such as remote control, payload capacity, versatility, precision, and confidentiality have fuelled interest in UAVs for multiple applications. However, UAVs’ navigation and communication systems are increasingly vulnerable to various security threats, with the most concerning being the risks associated with Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) technology, such as spoofing and jamming. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of UAV navigation security, drawing on recent peer-reviewed journals to identify and address gaps in current research. Machine learning and blockchain show promise but face scalability challenges. This review identifies underexplored gaps in environmental resilience. It examines the root causes of GNSS-related challenges, potential solutions, and promising research directions in the field of UAV navigation security.
