Kumar V and Jha SK
Generally, electrically conductive materials are extremely sturdy and stiff, electric discharge milling (EDM) is a broadly utilized method. The usage of diamond grinding together with EDM in a machine is called the " and Electrical Discharge Diamond Grinding " (EDDG) gadget is an extensively used method for producing strong, long-lasting electrically conductive substances. The Modified Ant Lion Optimization- Artificial Neural Network (MALO-ANN) technique is recommended to boost the performance of EDDG machine. The MALO technique improves the overall performance of ANN by optimizing hidden layers and weights, which are regularly the cause of issues in traditional models. Input factors, along with grit size, pulse-on/off duration, height modern and pulse-off duration, are analysed to see if they affect Material Removal Rate (MRR) along with Surface Roughness (SR). The findings suggest that the MALO-ANN method greatly enhances the parametric optimization of EDDG gadget. The result indicates tremendous ability in improving the efficiency of EDDG systems, because conventional ANN models regularly struggle because of insifficient hidden layers and weights. The best MRR and SR were obtained with an absolute error interval ranging from 1.03% to 4.49%, achieving a convergence rate of 89%, performing enhanced accuracy in EDDG processes.

J S, Sharma S and Tripathi MK
In software development, software testing is very crucial for developing good quality software, where the effectiveness of software is to be tested. For software testing, test suites and test cases need to be prepared in minimum execution time with the test case prioritization (TCP) problems. Generally, some of the researchers mainly focus on the constraint problems, such as time and fault on TCP. In this research, the novel Fractional Hybrid Leader Based Optimization (FHLO) is introduced with constraint handling for combinatorial TCP. To detect faults earlier, the TCP is an important technique as it reduces the regression testing cost and prioritizes the test case execution. Based on the detected fault and branch coverage, the priority of the test case for program execution is decided. Furthermore, the FHLO algorithm establishes the TCP for detecting the program fault, which prioritizes the test case, and relies on maximum values of Average Percentage of Branch Coverage (APBC) and Average Percentage of Fault Detected (APFD). From the analysis, the devised FHLO algorithm attains a maximum value of 0.966 for APFD and 0.888 for APBC.

Aboukhair M, Alsheref F, Assiri A, Koura A and Kayed M
This study explores the impacts of filter sizes on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) models, moving away from the common belief that small filters (3x3) give better results. The goal is to highlight the potential of large filters and encourage researchers to investigate their capabilities. The usage of large filters will increase the computational power which leads common researchers to reduce the filter size to reserve this power; however, other researchers address the potential of large filters to enhance the performance of CNN models. Currently, there are few pure CNN models that achieve optimal performance with large filters showing how far the large filter sizes topic is not addressed well by the community. As the availability of computer power and image sizes increase, traditional obstacles that hinder researchers from using large filter sizes will gradually diminish. This paper guides researchers by analysing and exploring the limitations, challenges, and impacts of CNN filter sizes on different CNN architectures. This will help utilize large filters' distinctive opportunities and potential. To our knowledge, we find four opportunities from utilizing large filters. A comprehensive comparison of researches on different CNN architectures shows a bias for small filters (3x3) and the possible potential of large filters.

Minipriya TM and Rajavel R
Speech enhancement techniques face computational demands, well-developed datasets, and better quality speech signals. Deep learners help deal with different noise types; still, the challenges offered by environmental noises require highly efficient and robust systems. This paper presents a lightweight deep-learning design with a heuristic-inspired model for generating an enhanced speech signal from noisy speech data. The model aims to remove different environmental noises affecting the speech signal. The noisy speech data are converted into spectrograms with Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT). The noisy spectrogram is processed through the newly developed speech enhancement model namely, Layer Modified Residual Unet++ (LMResUnet++). The developed LMResUnet++ is designed through an atrous convolution layer, and it can capture multi-scale information without additional training parameter requirements. Also, the design is made compactable through the proposed hybrid optimization algorithm namely, Aquila Black Widow Optimization (ABWO), and it optimizes various hyperparameters of the developed LMResUnet++. The final denoised spectrogram from the LMResUnet++ undergoes Inverse STFT, and the final enhanced speech signal is restored. Further, different experiments are held to prove the efficacy of the system. Results prove that the developed LMResUnet++ achieved PESQ values of 7.93%, 5.75%, 3.86%, and 1.90% improved than DeepUnet, MTCNN, STCNN, and ResUnet++ respectively.

Hassan SM, Nath K, Jasinski M and Maji AK
In recent times, deep learning has been widely used in agriculture fields to identify diseases in crops, weather prediction, and crop yield prediction. However, designing efficient deep learning models that are lightweight, cost-effective, and suitable for deployment on small devices remains a challenge. This paper addresses this gap by proposing a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architecture optimized using a Genetic Algorithm (GA) to automate the selection of critical hyperparameters, such as the number and size of filters, ensuring high performance with minimal computational overhead. In this work, we have built our own tea leaf disease dataset consisting of three different tea leaf diseases, two diseases caused by pests, and one due to pathogens (infectious organisms) and environmental conditions. The proposed genetic algorithm-based CNN achieved an accuracy rate of 97.6% on the tea leaf disease dataset. To further validate its robustness, the model was tested on two additional datasets, namely PlantVillage and Rice leaf disease dataset, achieving accuracies of 96.99% and 99%, respectively. Performances of the proposed model are also compared with several state-of-the-art deep learning models, and the results show that the proposed model outperforms several DL architectures with fewer parameters.

Subramaniam S and Balakrishnan U
Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder and the early diagnosis is crucial for managing symptoms and slowing disease progression. This paper proposes a framework named Federated Learning Enabled Waterwheel Shuffled Shepherd Optimization-based Efficient-Fuzzy Deep Maxout Network (FedL_WSSO based Eff-FDMNet) for PD detection and classification. In local training model, the input image from the database "Image and Data Archive (IDA)" is given for preprocessing that is performed using Gaussian filter. Consequently, image augmentation takes place and feature extraction is conducted. These processes are executed for every input image. Therefore, the collected outputs of images are used for PD detection using Shepard Convolutional Neural Network Fuzzy Zeiler and Fergus Net (ShCNN-Fuzzy-ZFNet). Then, PD classification is accomplished using Eff-FDMNet, which is trained using WSSO. At last, based on CAViaR, local updation and aggregation are changed in server. The developed method obtained highest accuracy as 0.927, mean average precision as 0.905, lowest false positive rate (FPR) as 0.082, loss as 0.073, Mean Squared Error (MSE) as 0.213, and Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) as 0.461. The high accuracy and low error rates indicate that the potent framework can enhance patient outcomes by enabling more reliable and personalized diagnosis.

Maanasa T, Raveendran P and Irudayaraj PJ
The sentiment analysis is an essential component that enables automation of achieving insights from the information that is user generated. However, the difficulty of sentiment analysis is the lack of enough labelled data in the Natural Language Processing (NLP) sector. Thus, to evaluate these sentiments, multiple mechanisms have been utilized in the past decades. The deep learning-aided approaches are becoming very famous nowadays because of their better performances. To surmount such existing issues, an attention deep learning model is proposed using an improved heuristic approach. At first, the input text data is gathered from public resources.

Further, the obtained pre-processed text is fed into the Multiscale Feature Fusion-based Adaptive and Attention-based Convolution Neural Network (MFF-AACNet). In the developed system, the features are extracted from Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT), Transformers, and word2vector. Furthermore, the resultant features are fused, and it is subjected to the MFF-AACNet, where the sentiment is analysed. The parameter tuning is done by an improved Fitness Opposition of Rat Swarm Optimizer (FORSO). Finally, the performance analysis was conducted for the implemented model. The proposed framework achieves higher accuracy compared to traditional methods.

Jegan R, Kaushal B, Birajdar GK and Patil MD
Brain tumour classification plays a significant role in improving patient care, treatment planning, and enhancing the overall healthcare system's effectiveness. This article presents a ResNet framework optimized using Henry gas solubility optimization (HGSO) for the classification of brain tumours, resulting in improved classification performance in magnetic resonance images (MRI). Two variants of the deep residual neural network, namely ResNet-18 and ResNet-50, are trained on the MRI training dataset. The four critical hyperparameters of the ResNet model: momentum, initial learning rate, maximum epochs, and validation frequency are tuned to obtain optimal values using HGSO algorithm. Subsequently, the optimized ResNet model is evaluated using two separate databases: Database1, comprising four tumour classes, and Database2, with three tumour classes. The performance is assessed using accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, precision, and F-score. The highest classification accuracy of 0.9825 is attained using the proposed optimized ResNet-50 framework on Database1. Moreover, the Gradient-weighted Class Activation Mapping (GRAD-CAM) algorithm is utilized to enhance the understanding of deep neural networks by highlighting the regions that are influential in making a particular classification decision. Grad-CAM heatmaps confirm the model focuses on relevant tumour features, not image artefacts. This research enhances MRI brain tumour classification via deep learning optimization strategies.

Senthil GA, Prabha R and Renuka Devi R
Efficient data transmission in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is a critical challenge. Traditional routing protocols focus on energy efficiency but do not consider other factors that might degrade performance. This research proposes a novel Hybrid Beluga Whale-Coati Optimization (HBWCO) algorithm to address these issues, focusing on optimizing energy-efficient data transmission. In the proposed approach, initially, sensor nodes and field dimensions are initialized. Then, K-means clustering is applied to grouping nodes. The Deep Q-Net model is used to predict energy levels of nodes. CH is selected as per the node having higher energy. Multipath routing is performed through the HBWCO algorithm, which optimally selects the best routing paths by considering factors like reliability, residual energy, predicted energy, throughput, and traffic intensity. If link breakage occurs, a route maintenance phase is initiated using Source Link Breakage Warning (SLBW) message strategy to notify the source node about the issue of choosing another path. This work offers a comprehensive approach to enhancing energy efficiency in networks. The suggested HBWCO approach is in contrast to the traditional methods. The HBWCO approach has achieved the highest reliability of 0.948 and the highest throughput of 3496. Therefore, the HBWCO algorithm offers an effective solution for data transmission and routing reliability.

Brain Tumor (BT) is an irregular growth of cells in the brain or in the tissues surrounding it. Detecting and predicting tumours is essential in today's world, yet managing these diseases poses a considerable challenge. Among the various modalities, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has been extensively exploited for diagnosing tumours.

Then, image enhancement is done to improve the quality of images using homomorphic filtering. Next, deep joint segmentation is used to process the tumourtumour region segmentation. Consequently, Haar wavelet and Local Directional Number Pattern (LDNP) based feature extraction is mined. Afterward, BT classification is achieved through DRP_Net, which is a fusion of Deep Residual Network (DRN) and PyramidNet. At last, the survival prediction is accomplished by employing the Deep Recurrent Neural Network (DRNN). Furthermore, DRP_Net has attained superior performance with a True Negative Rate (TNR) of 91.99%, an accuracy of 90.18%, and True Positive Rate (TPR) of 91.08%.
