Augmenting Convolution Neural Networks with Graph Models (GNN) for Skin Disease Classification Bhagya Lakshmi Raghupathy, Nithyashri J Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Inventive Research in Computing Applications Icirca 2025, 2025 Skincare diagnosis classification represents a vital component of dermatology which strives to create automatic diagnosis systems and deliver timely correct medical decisions to healthcare providers. CNNs already prove effective for image-based classification and achieve excellent results while maintaining difficulty in processing complex image relationships. The analysis studies how Graph Neural Networks with CNNs create improvements to skin disease classification functions. This hybrid model draws additional power from both CNNs for extracting features and GNNs for recognizing spatial relationships and relational dependencies with the purpose of improving classification results and reliability. The designed system handles dermatological images to detect skin diseases which generates medical knowledge for healthcare staff to make swift diagnoses and start treatment earlier. The research describes the creation and testing of an integrated CNNGNN solution which demonstrates potential as an automatic system for skin disease detection.
VisionAid: Enhancing Accessibility for the Visually Impaired with YOLO and gTTS Bhagya Lakshmi Raghupathy, J Nithyashri Proceedings of International Conference on Visual Analytics and Data Visualization Icvadv 2025, 2025 Daily environment navigating and accessing visual information are critical problems for people with vision disabilities. To reduce this discrepancy VisionAid, an assistive application was introduced to make visually challenged person have better accessibility via integration of YOLO for real-time object detection and gTTS which is library used for text-to-speech conversion. It recognizes objects, speaks text aloud and promotes good navigation skills that improve mobility and independence. VisionAid augments vision loss with modern technologies like GPS and SLAM for navigation, rather than traditional aids. This paper presents VisionAid as an end-to-end solution, fills the gaps in existing models and brings more autonomy to its users.
Dual-Attention Graph Neural Networks for SpatioTemporal Crime Forecasting and Patrol Optimization Mudit Srivastava, Sanya Raj, Nithyashri J 2025 7th International Workshop on Artificial Intelligence and Education Waie 2025, 2025 The prediction of urban crime is crucial for proactive law enforcement and the allocation of resources. We introduce an innovative Dual-Attention Graph Neural Network (DA-GNN) designed for spatio-temporal crime forecasting and the optimization of patrol strategies. This model effectively captures spatial relationships through Graph Attention Networks (GATs) and improves upon on temporal patterns via a parallel Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) pathway, our previous research. A dual-attention approach dynamically adjusts the significance of influential neighbors and historical time intervals. To improve precision, we include external covariates such as weather conditions, holidays, and seasonal influences. Additionally, we utilize Quantum-behaved Particle Swarm Optimization (QPSO) to facilitate the automation of hyperparameter tuning. Although the model is trained on a recent subset (January-March 2023) for computational feasibility, it leverages the full 2001-2023 dataset for graph construction, seasonal pattern extraction, and feature enrichment. DA-GNN consistently outperforms classical baselines (ARIMA, random forests), deep learning models (LSTM, CNNLSTM), and prior GNN-based approaches. Finally, the model produces interpretable attention maps and district-level risk visualizations, supporting ethical deployment and data-driven patrol strategy design.
INTEGRATING AI AND OR FOR REAL-TIME OPTIMIZATION IN DIGITAL TWIN ECOSYSTEMS AND METAVERSE ENGINEERING Nithyashri J., Naveeth Babu C., Jayaraj Velusamy, Cowsigan S.P., Balakrishnan S., Anitha R. Engineering Review, 2025 Digital twins are essential in metaverse engineering, serving as a foundation for optimization, simulation, and analysis. However, these digital replicas are vulnerable to malicious software, potentially compromising data and allowing unauthorized access. AI enhances digital twins by enabling them to learn from real-time data, making autonomous decisions. AI algorithms allow for simulating complex environments that react instantly to human input, creating immersive experiences. This article introduces an AI-based study aimed at optimizing digital twin ecosystems and metaverse engineering platforms in real-time (AI-DTE-ME). By integrating metaverse technology with digital twins, realistic and interactive virtual worlds can be created. Continuous data analysis allows digital twins to detect patterns, predict issues, and adapt processes dynamically. This capability brings the Metaverse to life, enabling the creation of intelligent, interactive digital objects. The study highlights the effectiveness of combining AI with operations research (OR) for the real-time optimization of Metaverse engineering and Digital Twin ecosystems.
Automated Diagnosis of Cancer Disease with Human Tissues using Haralick Texture Features and Deep Learning Techniques S. Balakrishnan, N.S. Simonthomas, J. Nithyashri, B. Suchitra, G. Umamaheswari, D. Pradeep International Journal of Computational and Experimental Science and Engineering, 2024 The increasing use of automated cancer diagnosis based on histopathological images is significant because it is likely to increase the accuracy of diagnosis and decrease the workload on pathologists. This research introduces a hybrid methodology that integrates Haralick texture features with deep learning strategies to improve the automated identification of cancer in human tissue specimens. Haralick texture features, obtained from the Gray-Level Co-Occurrence Matrix (GLCM), offer essential information regarding the spatial relationships and textural characteristics present in tissue samples, which frequently signal the presence of cancerous alterations. The integration of these interpretable texture features with convolutional neural networks (CNNs) makes our approach use the strengths of both traditional texture analysis and deep learning's ability to learn complex patterns. This will process raw image data with the Haralick features leading to a powerful model that, hopefully, makes better classification along with interpretability. These features, handcrafted and capturing features like contrast, correlation, energy, and homogeneity, provide differences in the texture of the tissue that classify between normal cells and abnormal ones. Experimental results were presented in distinguishing cancerous and non-cancerous tissues with high accuracy. The diagnostic efficiency was also enhanced while at the same time providing a reliable and scalable tool that may assist pathologists during clinical decision-making, which consequently leads to efficient cancer diagnosis and patient care.
An intelligent diagnosis of anemia using tensor flow: Potentially effective in AI and quantum network-based medical applications J. Nithyashri, Pasala Sree Ramya, Isha Mathur AI and Quantum Network Applications in Business and Medicine, 2024 Typically, hemoglobin levels are measured in the patient's blood to make the diagnosis. But as research develops, techniques other than assessing the conjunctival pallor may be used to determine hemoglobin levels. A framework consisting of decision tree, logistic regression comparison techniques, as well as the Histogram of Oriented Gradient (HOG), attempts to diagnose diabetes from connected photos. A consensus was reached on issues like room size 8x8, block size 8x8, bin number 15, L2Hys block normalization and entropy process, the best discriminator, random state is 10, minimum pollution reduction is 0.15, and the system can produce 82.5% of the test images, which had an image size of 256x128 based on the results of HOG and decision tree. As for the logistic regression is concerned, the best is blocking normalization and random state with unit size 16x16, block size 8x8, number of bins 11, L2Hys 30, system capacity, utilizing the Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) optimizer method. 92.5% of the best outcomes were produced in 24.20 seconds of calculation time.
Intelligent Classification of Liver Diseases using Ensemble Machine Learning Techniques Nithyashri, Harsh Goel, Manvendra Singh Hada 2nd International Conference on Intelligent Cyber Physical Systems and Internet of Things Icoici 2024 Proceedings, 2024 Liver disease is a more challenging health crisis which affects millions of people worldwide. Early detection and treatments are essential for improving patient outcomes, but diagnosis at early stage is more challenging. Machine learning algorithms were significantly used to improve the accuracy and efficiency of liver disease diagnosis. This study developed a machine learning model to predict the stage of liver disease using a variety of clinical features. The LR Hyperparameter tuned model is used to improve the accuracy to 83% on a test set, much higher than traditional diagnostic methods. This suggests that the model could be used to develop a non-invasive, cost-effective, and highly accurate tool for diagnosing and monitoring liver disease patients. Additionally, the model could identify high-risk patients for developing liver disease complications, such as cirrhosis and liver failure. This information could inform personalized treatment plans to prevent the development of complications. Overall, the machine learning model has the potential to transform the early detection and management of liver disease.
IOT based prediction of rainfall forecast in coastal regions using deep reinforcement model J. Nithyashri, Ravi Kumar Poluru, S. Balakrishnan, M. Ashok Kumar, P. Prabu, S. Nandhini Measurement Sensors, 2023 This research proposes an IoT based technique for predicting rainfall forecast in coastal regions using a deep reinforcement learning model. The proposed technique utilizes Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks to capture the temporal dependencies between the rainfall data collected from the coastal regions and the prediction model parameters. The proposed technique is evaluated on a dataset of rainfall data collected from the coastal regions of India and compared to traditional methods of rainfall forecasting. The accuracy and reliability of these models are evaluated by comparing them to prior models. Precipitation in coastal locations may be predicted with an average accuracy of 89% using the suggested model, as shown by the results. The suggested framework is computationally efficient and can be trained with little input. The results of this research give strong evidence that the proposed model is an effective tool for coastal precipitation forecasting.
