In this paper, we will discuss two algorithms to solve the so-called package design problem, by which a set of queries (referred to as a query log) is represented by a collection of bit strings with each indicating the favourite activities or items of customers. For such a query log, we are required to design…

This paper presents a system that combines speech and pointing gestures along with four distinct hand gestures to precisely identify both the object of interest and parameters for robotic tasks. We utilized skeleton landmarks to detect pointing gestures and determine their direction, while a pre-trained model, trained on 21 hand landmarks from 2D images, was…

In healthcare, accurate communication is critical, and medical coding, especially coding using the ICD (International Classification of Diseases) standards, plays a vital role in achieving this accuracy. Traditionally, ICD coding has been a time-consuming manual process performed by trained professionals, involving the assignment of codes to patient records, such as doctor’s notes. In this paper,…

This paper presents a method for automatic 3D segmentation of brain tumors in MRI using optical scanning holography. Automatic segmentation of tumors from 2D slices (coronal, sagittal and axial) enables efficient 3D reconstruction of the region of interest, eliminating the human errors of manual methods. The method uses enhanced optical scanning holography with a cylindrical…
