Title:
Integrating Neuro-Linguistic Programming Techniques for Enhanced Human-Machine Interaction: perspectives in favor of IEEE events”
Abstract:
This conference aims to explore the implications and opportunities arising from the integration of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) techniques in the field of human-machine interaction, shedding light on the perspectives offered by IEEE technology.
NLP, as a discipline that studies how thought, language, and behavior interact to influence our experiences, provides a powerful framework for enhancing how Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems interact with users. By analyzing language patterns, non-verbal cues, and user emotions, NLP enables AI systems to better understand individual needs and preferences, leading to increased personalization of the user experience.
This presentation will also examine how the integration of NLP can lead to more natural communication between humans and machines, generating contextually appropriate responses and facilitating emotion detection. Additionally, it will explore how NLP can help overcome language barriers, thereby expanding the accessibility and usability of AI systems.
Through concrete examples and case studies, this conference aims to demonstrate the tangible benefits of integrating NLP into IA, providing participants with an in-depth perspective on how this innovative approach can transform and enhance human-machine interaction.

Title:
Diagnosis-Prognosis of Electrical Machines
Abstract:
Most industries are moving toward intelligent health monitoring to minimize shutdowns and maintenance costs. It requires integrating electrical systems and information technology. The talk, divided into three parts, will elucidate that the cloud-based trained models will revolutionize the health monitoring of electrical machines.
The first part will explain the two aspects of health monitoring, i.e., Diagnosis, which refers to the early detection and classification of fault, and Prognoses, which identifies the fault’s evolution to predict the machine’s remaining useful life. It will explain that most of the industry is striving to move from scheduled-based maintenance to predictive maintenance as it is not only cost-efficient but also generates a more detailed report on Fault Diagnosis and Prognosis of Electrical Machines.
The second part will explain the enablers of cloud-based diagnosis and the prognosis of Electrical Machines. It will highlight Artificial Intelligence, Machine learning, Data Analytics, Cloud, Network, and Edge Computing. It will also emphasize that the main challenge is the amount and quality of the data used for model training.
The third part will discuss the data acquisition system, an essential pillar of health monitoring systems. It will also explain the importance of the edge node that will help the microcontroller with data acquisition from the cloud or locally in case of any data loss over the network.
The talk will provide food for thought to the students on exploring innovative techniques. It will also benefit government policymakers, industry leaders, decision-makers, and researchers. The added benefits of the talk will be transferring state-of-the-art knowledge, enhancing interest in research, establishing a collaborative relationship with students and faculty, and familiarizing the students with future/global career opportunities.

Title:
ADVANCES IN DEEP LEARNING FOR MEDICAL IMAGING
(On Line)
Abstract
Recent years have witnessed significant advancements in medical imaging, largely attributed to the remarkable outcomes achieved through the application of deep learning. Various medical disciplines, including ophthalmology and radiology, have reaped the benefits of these advancements.
In this presentation, I will explore recent developments in the use of deep learning for medical imaging. This will encompass the utilization of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and deep Transformers. I will also demonstrate how the incorporation of deep ensemble learning enhances the performance of specific tasks within this domain.Furthermore, I will delve into the application of deep learning for the detection of eye diseases such as diabetic retinopathy and AMD, among others. Additionally, I will discuss how deep learning and transformers are employed in radiology to identify and diagnose a wide array of diseases. Also, I will showcase practical cases in oncology, particularly for breast cancer and skin cancer detection. Given the significance of comprehending the decisions made by these algorithms, I will provide examples of the utilization of explainability techniques. Furthermore, I will underscore the importance of federated learning in enhancing the training performance of deep models while safeguarding privacy. Finally, I will touch upon prospective research avenues within this field.
