Estimating Cognitive Function Using Spontaneous Speech in Older People Living in the Community
This thesis presents a novel approach to cognitive function estimation using spontaneous speech, focusing on community-dwelling individuals. By analyzing speech data from older adults and applying advanced natural language processing and machine learning techniques, the study develops a method to differentiate between healthy individuals, those with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and those with dementia. The research explores the psychological burden of using an AI agent as an evaluator, offering promising insights into its effectiveness as a tool for early detection and intervention in cognitive decline. The findings highlight the potential for AI-driven solutions to enhance cognitive assessment and support clinical decisions, marking a significant step towards integrating AI in healthcare.

Development of Efficient Bio-Inspired Computing Algorithm for Image Classification
Agriculture is a cornerstone of India's economy, deeply intertwined with the nation's food security and the livelihoods of millions. Accounting for approximately 15% of India's GDP, the agricultural sector supports a vast majority of the rural population through employment and income generation. India's diverse crop production, ranging from rice and wheat to sugarcane and cotton, not only drives economic growth but also ensures food stability and self-sufficiency, mitigating the need for imports and protecting against global food crises. Beyond its economic contributions, agriculture fosters rural development by enhancing income levels and promoting rural entrepreneurship, thus lifting communities out of poverty and supporting inclusive growth. The classification of plants within this sector is vital, providing a systematic approach to understanding the vast array of plant species in India. This knowledge aids farmers and agricultural experts in making informed decisions on cultivation, pest management, and resource allocation, while also conserving native species and preserving traditional farming practices. This research delves into the intersection of agriculture and advanced computing techniques, with a focus on the following objectives: 1. Analyzing and evaluating various bio-inspired computing algorithms for plant image segmentation and classification. 2. Proposing a novel bio-inspired optimization algorithm and testing its efficacy on standard benchmarks. 3. Developing a new image classification method based on existing or new bio-inspired algorithms. 4. Comparing the performance of the proposed classification approach against current methods using a plant image dataset. This work aims to enhance agricultural efficiency and sustainability through innovative computational techniques, ultimately benefiting India's vast agricultural landscape.
Route Optimization and Congestion Control in Wireless Network
The network is made up of two types of components: nodes and communication lines. The nodes typically handle the network protocols and provide switching capabilities. A node is usually itself a computer (general or special) which runs specific network software. The communication lines may take many different shapes and forms, even in the same network. Examples include: copper wire cables, optical fiber, radio channels, and telephone lines. By applying mathematics to a problem of the real world mostly means, at first, modeling the problem mathematically, may be with hard restrictions, idealizations, or simplifications, then solving the mathematical problem, and finally drawing conclusions about the real problem based on the solutions of the mathematical problem. Since about 60 years, a shift of paradigms has taken place in some sense; the opposite way has come into fashion. The point is that the world has done well even in times when nothing about mathematical modeling was known. The one of the alternate ways is evolutionary computation, which encompasses three main components- Evolution strategies, Genetic Algorithms and Evolution programs. Genetic Algorithms encode a potential solution to a specific problem on a simple chromosome like data structure and apply recombination operators to several structures so as to preserve critical information. Shortest path routing algorithms are well established problem and addressed by many researchers in different ways. One such alternative is to use a GA-based routing algorithm. However, it is also known that GA-based routing algorithm is not fast enough for real-time computation. We propose to use this huge stochastic optimization tool for Optimum Path Routing Problem. GA may be used for optimization of searching process for optimum path routing in a network for optimization of both the distance and the congestion problem in a network. The proposed book "Congestion control in Wireless Networks" has been implemented in MATLAB 7.0.
Artificial Mind
Beyond AI--Artificial Mind with True Intelligence. How that could emerge.Billionaire computer scientist David Sterling was no stranger to controversy but his latest criticisms of AI at its very technological foundation struck a nerve at a time when AI was taking the world by storm-hinting at a new generation of AI that could upend everything. He went so far as to claim AI had absolutely zero intelligence of its own, labeling it as a knowledge system.Before he could share his groundbreaking discovery, Sterling was found-by none other than his old friend, MIT professor William Foster-murdered.Now, haunted by the past and driven by sense of duty, Foster partners with Anastasia Ivanov, a gifted computer scientist, to uncover Sterling's lost research. But powerful forces are closing in-ruthless players determined to claim the discovery for themselves, no matter the cost.The truth could change the world.The price could be their lives.Can Foster and Anastasia survive long enough to unlock the future?Author BioThe author is a retired Canadian computer scientist and engineer. He received his Ph.D. from McGill University, Montreal, Canada. He held various architecture leadership positions at two of the world's largest telecommunication equipment makers, some startup companies, and a mid-sized international corporation of thousands of engineers as its Chief Architect. He played a pivotal role in the design and development of numerous products in supercomputing, server virtualization, and telecommunication. His extensive work in telecommunication spanned the areas of electrical and optical, as well as wireless and wireline.The author has traveled frequently around the globe, partly for pleasure but mostly for providing technical guidance to product development at his companies' R&D sites in North America, Europe, and Asia.

Handbook on Federated Learning
Mobile, wearable, and self-driving telephones are just a few examples of modern distributed networks that generate enormous amount of information every day. Due to the growing computing capacity of these devices as well as concerns over the transfer of private information, it has become important to process the part of the data locally by moving the learning methods and computing to the border of devices. Federated learning has developed as a model of education in these situations. Federated learning (FL) is an expert form of decentralized machine learning (ML). It is essential in areas like privacy, large-scale machine education and distribution. It is also based on the current stage of ICT and new hardware technology and is the next generation of artificial intelligence (AI). In FL, central ML model is built with all the data available in a centralised environment in the traditional machine learning. It works without problems when the predictions can be served by a central server. Users require fast responses in mobile computing, but the model processing happens at the sight of the server, thus taking too long. The model can be placed in the end-user device, but continuous learning is a challenge to overcome, as models are programmed in a complete dataset and the end-user device lacks access to the entire data package. Another challenge with traditional machine learning is that user data is aggregated at a central location where it violates local privacy policies laws and make the data more vulnerable to data violation. This book provides a comprehensive approach in federated learning for various aspects.
