3D Gait-Based Autism Classification Using Attention-Enhanced Deep Learning with Cross-Fold Statistical Stability Analysis

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition whose early diagnosis remains challenging because conventional clinical assessments are often subjective, time-consuming, and require expert evaluation. Gait provides a promising non-invasive behavioral biomarker for auto- mated ASD screening; however, existing studies have primarily relied on single-dataset evaluations, convolutional architectures, and descriptive summaries of cross-validation performance without formally assessing fold-to-fold stability. This study addresses these gaps with an attention-enhanced Transformer framework for ASD classification, evaluated on two structurally different 3D gait feature representations: precomputed statistical gait descriptors and raw biomechanical ground-reaction- force measurements. Under five-fold cross-validation, the proposed framework achieved 99.00% accuracy, 99.02% precision, 99.00% recall, 99.00% F1-score, and 99.00% specificity on the public Kinect-based benchmark, exceeding the performance of the compared state-of-the-art methods. On the independent private force-plate dataset, it achieved mean values of 95.00% accuracy, 93.81% precision, 96.67% recall, 95.13% F1-score, and 93.33% specificity.

CoAtNet-DeepMoE: A Convolution-Attention Hybrid with DeepSeek Mixture-of-Experts for Parameter-Efficient Tomato Disease Classification

The world population is growing rapidly, and technology is improving in parallel. Meeting the huge demand for food for these 7 billion people not only depends on increasing food production but also on reducing food loss. Crop losses due to disease affect both the food supply and the financial and economic stability of a country. Tomatoes are among the top food-producing crops globally, and a significant portion of this production is lost due to disease. People have used Machine Learning techniques for feature extraction and early diagnosis of tomato diseases, and nowadays, Deep Learning-based models are widely used for disease recognition. However, most existing models are highly parameter-intensive, which increases the time required for training and inference. As a result, while lightweight models are more suitable for user-friendly applications, they often show a reduction in performance. To balance performance and model size, we propose CoAtNet-DeepMoE, a Convolution-Attention hybrid architecture for rich feature extraction, further enhanced with a DeepSeek Mixture of Experts to substantially reduce the number of parameters without sacrificing accuracy. We evaluate our model on both balanced and imbalanced datasets from Kaggle and PlantVillage, demonstrating robustness and achieving 99.80% accuracy, 99.80% precision, 99.80% recall, and 99.80% F1-score on Kaggle, and 99.83% accuracy, 99.85% precision, 99.76% recall, and 99.80% F1-score on PlantVillage, representing state-of-the-art performance with only 2.47M parameters.

Mam-App: A Novel Parameter-Efficient Mamba Model for Apple Leaf Disease Classification

The rapid growth of the global population, alongside exponential technological advancement, has intensified the demand for food production. Meeting this demand depends not only on increasing agricultural yield but also on minimizing food loss caused by crop diseases. Diseases account for a substantial portion of apple production losses, despite apples being among the most widely produced and nutritionally valuable fruits worldwide. Previous studies have employed machine learning techniques for feature extraction and early diagnosis of apple leaf diseases, and more recently, deep learning-based models have shown remarkable performance in disease recognition. However, most state-of-the-art deep learning models are highly parameter-intensive, resulting in increased training and inference time. Although lightweight models are more suitable for user-friendly and resource-constrained applications, they often suffer from performance degradation. To address the trade-off between efficiency and performance, we propose Mam-App, a parameter-efficient Mamba-based model for feature extraction and leaf disease classification. The proposed approach achieves competitive state-of-the-art performance on the PlantVillage Apple Leaf Disease dataset, attaining 99.58% accuracy, 99.30% precision, 99.14% recall, and a 99.22% F1-score, while using only 0.051M parameters. This extremely low parameter count makes the model suitable for deployment on drones, mobile devices, and other low-resource platforms. To demonstrate the robustness and generalizability of the proposed model, we further evaluate it on the PlantVillage Corn Leaf Disease and Potato Leaf Disease datasets. The model achieves 99.48%, 99.20%, 99.34%, and 99.27% accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score on the corn dataset and 98.46%, 98.91%, 95.39%, and 97.01% on the potato dataset, respectively.
