Abstract—University students suffers from high levels of stress, which adversely affects their academic performance, mental and physical health, and overall well-being. In this research paper, we use machine learning algorithms and explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) techniques to predict stress levels among university students. The study collected data from multiple universities in Bangladesh and used machine learning algorithms to determine stress levels accurately. Support Vector Classifier (SVC) performed well, with 90% accuracy. A Lime method was also used to understand the model's behavior and address any biases. Stress levels were identified by analyzing specific observations. These results provided both transparency and understandability. We aim to develop prediction models that can identify at-risk individuals from this research and reveal the causes of stress among university students. It is possible to minimize the negative effects on students' academic performance and well-being by detecting stress levels early.

Abstract—Popularity of Social media sites has been on the rise ever since its invention. Due to the anonymity the social media sites provide to the users, an influx of divergent behavior has also been increasing. Abusive language and offensive content are posted on these sites to ridicule others which creates a harmful environment for the people affected. Detecting these misconducts, especially for Bengali Language is still vague. Our paper tries to bridge the gap between the abusive content detection using Natural Language Processing with five different machine learning classifiers such as Decision Tree, Random Forest, Multinomial Naïve Bayes, Support Vector Classifier and Logistic Regression and give clarity on the factors that contribute to the prediction using Explainable AI. The dataset was preprocessed in multiple steps including stop words and punctuation removal, null and duplication value check and tokenization. The dataset was then processed to created TF-IDF representations with n-grams. Grid Search Cross Validation technique was used to find out optimal combination of hyperparameters for our machine learning models. Among all the models Logistic Regression performed the best with an accuracy of 85.57%. For transparency and clarification of the model’s detection methodologies Lime model was used.

Abstract—In the vast realm of healthcare, healthcare data gathered from patients is bountiful. With the continuous evolution and expansion of artificial intelligence, these healthcare data are a vital asset for us. Under the assistance of artificial intelligence, we can efficiently diagnose and prognose diseases to combat the increase in inaccurate prognosis and delayed diagnosis. In healthcare, diagnosis refers to identifying diseases or conditions in patients, while prognosis predicts the likely course and outcome of the medical conditions. To ease the diagnosis and prognosis, we explore the implementation of Machine Learning (ML) techniques and Simple Feedforward Neural Network. The machine learning models that are evaluated include Decision Tree (DT), Random Forest (RF), Support Vector Classifier (SVC), K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), and Gaussian Naive Bayes (GNB). After evaluation, the KNN model achieved the highest accuracy of 98.56%, along with F1- Score of 98.53%, Precision of 98.69%, and Recall Score of 98.52%. Later, we interpret the decision-making process of the machine learning algorithms by implementing Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI). LIME and SHAP, two types of XAI, are employed to explain and visualize the diagnosis capability and feature impact on the models.

We have applied explainable artificial intelligence (XAI), to gain a better understanding of the machine learning model, using a Google Form, the dataset was gathered from several public, private, and national universities in Bangladesh. We have compared machine learning algorithms using 20 selected features and without feature selection. By using the concept of voting, we have created a new model. In order to create our final model, we selected the best three ML algorithms based on their accuracy. The voting classifier has the highest accuracy of 96%, while F1 and Recall scores are 96%, and Precision is 97%. The LIME and SHAP models are used to explain model predictions instead of a black-box machine learning model.

Abstract—A bacterial or viral infection of the lungs can cause pneumonia, one of the dangerous and potentially fatal illnesses that can have dire repercussions in a short amount of time. Therefore, a key component of a successful treatment plan is an early diagnosis. Therefore, a sophisticated and automated system that can diagnose chest X-rays and make the process of diagnosing pneumonia easier for both specialists and novices is required. This research aims to create a CNN model that will help with the accurate classification of pneumonia. In this work, we have presented our Deep Learning method for the classification challenge, which is taught using modified images through several pre-processing stages. With an overall accuracy of 93.30%, we were able to classify X-ray images of pneumonia using a custom CNN model. Our proposed model is able to precisely detect pneumonia from X-ray images with amazing accuracy and loss.

Abstract— The global economy heavily relies on the agricultural industry, making crop health crucial for both survival and economic stability. Significant production losses are caused by plant diseases in agriculture. It is often difficult for experienced farmers to detect diseases with traditional methods, which are often insufficient. Modern frameworks that combine deep learning approaches and image segmentation look to be viable alternatives to prior techniques. The study begins with image augmentation and segmentation. The image segmentation is carried out using DeePLabV3+ for image preprocessing, followed by feature extraction. Subsequently, the classification ability of several deep learning models is studied, including Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), VGG16, MobileNetV2, AlexNet, InceptionV3, DenseNet201, and EfficientNet-B0, for the classification of 38 plant disease classes. Among the top-performing models, EfficientNet-B0 achieved 99.86% accuracy, 99.01% precision, 98.81% recall, and 99.34% F1 score. EfficientNet-B0 is also explained through SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations), which provides insight into how the model classifies leaf diseases. Based on the results of the implementation of EfficientNet-B0, it is possible to significantly reduce crop destruction caused by plant diseases, which improves food security and economic stability.

Abstract— Paddy production is one of the significant branches of the agricultural sector that is vulnerable to being affected by a range of fungal, bacterial, and viral infections. These diseases can cause significant yield losses and reduce the quality of rice crops if not managed effectively. To address this issue, automation of paddy disease detection plays a vital role in enhancing productivity and promoting sustainable farming. In our study, we presented an innovative deep-learning approach for the automated detection of paddy diseases considering six distinct disease types, including Bacterial Blight, Blast, Brownspot, Leaf scaled, Sheath Blight, and Tungro along with healthy leaves. We utilized a composite dataset of 8526 images collected from Kaggle and Mendeley consisting of seven classes. Two deep learning models: Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and ResNet-50 were applied in the process. The CNN model achieved an accuracy of 88% on the employed dataset while ResNet-50 exhibited superior performance of 97% accuracy. The model’s performance is evaluated using confusion matrices containing precision, recall, accuracy, and F1-score. The pinnacle of the research includes the deployment of the enhanced ResNet-50 model into a mobile application designed using Flutter and FastAPI. This application serves as a testament to the potential of real-time agricultural diagnostics, enabling users to capture images of paddy crops and receive instant disease predictions, signifying a transformative advancement in agricultural technology with timely insights to effectively manage crop health and optimize yields.

Abstract—Social media platforms have become potential sites for analyzing people's mental health trends since they provide real-time data on users’ thoughts and feelings. Automated stress detection using machine learning techniques can assist in identifying at-risk individuals, facilitating early intervention, and contributing to broader public health monitoring. This paper introduces an Ensemble Self-Training (EST) model for stress detection, combining multiple machine learning algorithms and a self-training mechanism, and provides a comprehensive interpretation of results by explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) techniques. The study utilized four distinct datasets comprising posts from popular social media sites like Reddit and Twitter. Different NLP tools, including Bigrams and Word2Vec word embeddings, created meaningful data for enhanced detection. Four machine learning classifiers- Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machine, Random Forest, and Naïve Bayes were evaluated and compared with the EST model. The EST model outperformed other models, achieving an impressive accuracy of 91.67% on the Dreaddit dataset and nearly 89% accuracy on the different datasets.

Abstract— Depression, a pervasive mental disorder, significantly impacts individuals' daily lives, manifesting as persistent sadness, a negative disposition, lack of interest or pleasure, feelings of guilt or worthlessness, and sleep disturbances. Advances in psychological methodologies, including the use of questionnaires and the analysis of social media posts, have facilitated the detection of individuals affected by this mental health issue. While mental health is a priority in many developed countries, it remains primarily neglected in regions like Bangladesh. This neglect is evident in the lack of a standardized corpus for detecting depression in the area. In this paper, we present the annotated data collected by our crawlers and detail the processes undertaken to standardize this corpus. We also propose a novel model for depression analysis and detection, which integrates Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks. Our model achieves an accuracy of 90.11%, demonstrating its efficacy. Additionally, we compare the proposed model with various machine learning models, including SVM, Random Forest, Naïve Bayes, KNN, AdaBoost, CNN, LSTM, and Decision Tree with hyperparameter tuning, using several performance metrics to highlight the advantages of our approach.

Abstract— Tick-borne Lyme disease usually starts with Erythema Migrans rashes. Because of its visual complexity and resemblance to other skin disorders, Lyme disease is difficult to diagnose. It is crucial to promptly and accurately identify these skin rashes to ensure effective treatment and mitigate potential complications. This study proposes a distinctive approach that combines U-Net for image segmentation and an ensemble method based on deep learning to improve the robustness and classification accuracy in identifying Lyme disease-related rashes. Image normalization, data augmentation, and binary masking are all part of the preprocessing pipeline, along with the U-Net model applied for segmentation. Better performance is achieved by ensuring that the model concentrates on the most pertinent regions during this segmentation step. The ensemble model significantly enhances classification accuracy by utilizing a combination of InceptionV3, ResNet, and DenseNet. The ensemble achieved an accuracy of 99.50%, exceeding the accuracy of previous approaches. Thus, the study demonstrates that using our advanced ensemble deep learning models enhances the accuracy in classifying Lyme disease rashes, offering a more reliable approach for clinical diagnosis and improving patient care.

Abstract— An excessive force can cause a bone fracture and result in problems such as bleeding, infection, hypoxia, interfragmentary strain, and loss of support. The manual procedure of identifying fractures from X-rays or CT scans mostly depends on orthopedic surgeons' expertise, which might be difficult in remote regions. Medical diagnoses in real time are becoming feasible with deep learning and machine learning development. The datasets used in this study were obtained from Kaggle. The first dataset, titled "Bone Fracture Detection: Computer Vision Project," included 4,148 labeled images and 10,581 X-ray images segmented into "fractured" and "not fractured" categories for bone fracture classification. This research aims to use deep learning models like CNN, ConvNeXt, ViT, MobileViT, VGG16, and VGG19 to detect bone fractures and characterize their severity effectively. YOLOV8 is utilized for fracture diagnosis, and image processing techniques improve noisy X-ray images obtained 0.995 with maPA50 and 0.991 with maPA50-95. In terms of classification accuracy, MobileViT showed 99%. This research aims to develop a reliable, automated system for detecting bone fractures facilitating early diagnosis and treatment.
