Challenging Conventions Towards Reliable Robot Navigation Using Deep Reinforcement Learning

Volume 1

Effective indoor navigation in the presence of dynamic obstacles is crucial for mobile robots. Previous research on deep reinforcement learning (DRL) for robot navigation has primarily focused on expanding neural network (NN) architectures and optimizing hardware setups. However, the impact of other critical factors, such as backward motion enablement, frame stacking buffer size, and the design of the behavioral reward function, on DRL-based navigation remains relatively unexplored. To address this..

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall: Automating Dental Smile Analysis with AI in Smart Mirrors

Volume 1

This paper presents a smart diagnostic framework for dental smile analysis. To accurately and efficiently identify esthetic issues from a single image of a smile, a convolutional neural network (CNN) was trained. To overcome the limitations of scarce data, a diffusion model was employed to generate dental smile images in addition to manually curated data. The CNN was trained and evaluated on three datasets: all real images, all generated images,..

Hierarchical Autoencoder-Based Lossy Compression for Large-Scale High-Resolution Scientific Data

Volume 1

Lossy compression has become an essential technique to reduce data size in many domains. This type of compression is especially valuable for large-scale scientific data, whose size ranges up to several petabytes. Although Autoencoder-based models have been successfully leveraged to compress images and videos, such neural networks have not widely gained attention in the scientific data domain. Our work presents a neural network that not only significantly compresses large-scale scientific..

Social Media and Artificial Intelligence for Sustainable Cities and Societies: A Water Quality Analysis Use-Case

Volume 1

Crowd-sourcing has been widely explored for monitoring and feedback on infrastructure and services, such as air and water quality analysis. However, the traditional methods of crowd-sourcing for feedback and analysis of water quality, such as offline and online surveys, have several limitations, such as the limited number of participants and low frequency due to the labor involved in conducting such surveys. Social media analytics could overcome these challenges by providing..
