Advanced gesture recognition in Indian sign language using a synergistic combination of YOLOv10 with Swin Transformer model Umang Rastogi, Rajendra Prasad Mahapatra, Sushil Kumar Scientific Reports, 2025 Communication between deaf or mute individuals and hearing persons is often hindered by the lack of mutual understanding of sign or vocal language. To bridge this gap, Indian Sign Language Recognition (ISLR) systems are essential. This paper proposes a real-time ISLR framework based on the YOLOv10-ST model, which integrates the Swin Transformer into the YOLOv10 architecture for enhanced feature extraction. The model also incorporates Mish activation to improve gradient flow and detection accuracy. A custom dataset comprising 15, 000 static images (1, 000 per sign for 15 signs) and 35 dynamic videos (covering 7 sign classes) was used for training and evaluation. Experimental results demonstrate high performance, with the model achieving 97.50% precision, 98.10% recall, and 96.58% F1-score for image-based sign recognition, and 95.24% precision, 96.00% recall, and 95.87% F1-score for video-based gestures. The model also achieves a mean Average Precision (mAP) of 97.62% and real-time inference speeds of 48.7 FPS. Ablation studies validate the contributions of Swin Transformer and Mish activation, while paired t-tests confirm statistical significance (p $$< 0.005$$ ). The experimental findings demonstrate that the YOLOv10-ST model efficiently recognizes static and dynamic ISL in real time with minimal computational overhead.
Progressing Alzheimer's Diagnosis with Ensemble CNN Model Vivek Yadav, Vaibhav, Rohit, Sushil Kumar, Umang Rastogi Icdt 2025 3rd International Conference on Disruptive Technologies, 2025 This paper proposes an Alzheimer's disease prediction model using CNN, implemented on a system with AMD Radeon Vega 8 Graphics to improve computational traceability. The research is encouraging because the implicates of the model touched the 97% accuracy of the disease prediction by MRI images of patients. The integration of the Vega 8 GPU allows the system to process large datasets and perform computations at a significantly faster rate, thereby reducing training time. The MRI dataset used in this study is highly imbalanced, with four classes: Non-Demented or Non-D, Very Mild Dementia or V.M.D, Mild Dementia or M.D, Moderate Demented or M.D.A. CNN was chosen for its capability in highlight extraction and learning from MRI pictures, without requiring human interference. The show was run with parallel and multiclass datasets, and IT got 97% exactness. The systematic analysis of the test shows that the system can diagnose Alzheimer's right at the initial stage of the disease development. This approach shows how CNNs with the aid of AMD Radeon Vega 8 Graphics perform well in automating Alzheimer's diagnosis while breaking the barriers associated with manual feature extraction and orthodox dependence on experts.

Decentralized System for Counterfeit Product Detection using Blockchain Technology Umang Rastogi, Dhruv Jain, Dhruv Gaur, Sushil Kumar 2024 International Conference on Intelligent Systems for Cybersecurity Iscs 2024, 2024 This research presents a decentralized system that utilizes blockchain technology to improve the detection of counterfeit products, in response to the increasing risk they provide. Presently, centralized systems suffer from risks such as data tampering and the presence of single points of failure. This research adds to the ongoing issues around the prevention of counterfeit items. The current supply chain contains a large number of counterfeit goods. The Authentication Solution Providers' Association reports that each year it costs the Indian economy INR 1 trillion. For the consumer to determine whether or not the product they are purchasing is authentic, a system that allows them to know its status. Block technology is used to identify genuine products and identify counterfeit goods. DLT is a decentralized database that is supervised by numerous users on various nodes. A hash is an irreversible cryptographic signature used to record transactions on a blockchain, a type of DLT. Blockchain is a technology with features like distributed computation, decentralization, and digital ledger which is connected to numerous database/node computers through chains and it stores transactional data in the form of blocks. Because data stored in a blockchain is immutable, any block in the chain cannot be altered or compromised, making blockchain technology secure. Customers or users don't need to rely on other users to confirm the safety and authenticity of products due to Blockchain technology. This paper describes a system for detecting counterfeit goods that uses blockchain technology,

Enhancing Trust and Transparency with Blockchain-Powered Remote Electronic Voting Sushil Kumar, Shubham Verma, Shaurya Gupta, Shivam Shrivas, Vimal Kumar Dubey, et al. 2024 International Conference on Control Computing Communication and Materials Iccccm 2024, 2024 The inconvenient nature of making the conventional, physical trip to the polls has been blamed for the rise in voter disinterest in elections. Remote electronic voting, or "e-voting" appears to be a promising remedy. In addition to offering quicker results, electronic voting also solves practical issues, which may boost voter turnout. However, to foster confidence in the democratic process, e-voting needs to meet strict requirements for security, dependability, and openness. Scholarly research explores different approaches to distant electronic voting, with an emphasis on using blockchain technology. The decentralized structure of blockchain eliminates the need for reliable middlemen and allows for safe and transparent transactions. Blockchain improves voting process integrity by guaranteeing transparent data storage, offering tamper-resistant and verifiable. Furthermore, the electoral process can be further streamlined by introducing automated agreements between users through the integration of smart contracts into blockchain technology. Blockchain technology is being used in electronic voting systems to improve security and transparency while also addressing issues with trust in the digital voting environment. Blockchain presents a potential paradigm change in the design and implementation of remote electronic voting systems, removing the need for centralized authorities and introducing features like smart contracts. This might lead to a more transparent, safe, and reliable democratic process.
