Precision in Rice Variety Classification using Stacking-Based Ensemble Learning

Rice, a staple food for a significant portion of the global population, exhibits remarkable diversity in its varieties, presenting substantial challenges for accurate identification by consumers, traders, and farmers. This complexity often facilitates fraudulent practices, such as the unauthorized mixing of rice types, which undermines quality and trust in the supply chain. Despite its critical importance, existing research falls short of providing robust and efficient methods for precise rice variety classification based on external characteristics like color, size, and texture. To address this gap, our study introduces a comprehensive rice variety identification framework designed to enhance transparency and quality assurance. We developed a stacked ensemble model tailored for rice variety classification and curated a comprehensive dataset comprising 20 rice varieties, each distinguished by unique visual attributes. The proposed approach achieved an unprecedented classification accuracy of 100%. Furthermore, we integrated our model into a mobile application, enabling even novice users to effortlessly identify rice varieties using grain images from a smartphone camera. These findings underscore the transformative potential of advanced machine learning techniques in mitigating fraudulent practices and ensuring stringent rice quality control. Our work holds significant implications for agricultural stakeholders, paving the way for automated crop identification systems and advancing precision agriculture practices.

CLIN-LLM: A Safety-Constrained Hybrid Framework for Clinical Diagnosis and Treatment Generation

Accurate symptom-to-disease classification and clinically grounded treatment recommendations remain challenging, particularly in heterogeneous patient settings with high diagnostic risk. Existing large language model (LLM)-based systems often lack medical grounding and fail to quantify uncertainty, resulting in unsafe outputs. We propose CLIN-LLM, a safety-constrained hybrid pipeline that integrates multimodal patient encoding, uncertainty-calibrated disease classification, and retrieval-augmented treatment generation. The framework fine-tunes BioBERT on 1,200 clinical cases from the Symptom2Disease dataset and incorporates Focal Loss with Monte Carlo Dropout to enable confidence-aware predictions from free-text symptoms and structured vitals. Low-certainty cases (18%) are automatically flagged for expert review, ensuring human oversight. For treatment generation, CLIN-LLM employs Biomedical Sentence-BERT to retrieve top-k relevant dialogues from the 260,000-sample MedDialog corpus. The retrieved evidence and patient context are fed into a fine-tuned FLAN-T5 model for personalized treatment generation, followed by post-processing with RxNorm for antibiotic stewardship and drug-drug interaction (DDI) screening. CLIN-LLM achieves 98% accuracy and F1 score, outperforming ClinicalBERT by 7.1% (p < 0.001), with 78% top-5 retrieval precision and a clinician-rated validity of 4.2 out of 5. Unsafe antibiotic suggestions are reduced by 67% compared to GPT-5. These results demonstrate CLIN-LLM's robustness, interpretability, and clinical safety alignment. The proposed system provides a deployable, human-in-the-loop decision support framework for resource-limited healthcare environments. Future work includes integrating imaging and lab data, multilingual extensions, and clinical trial validation.

Extraction of Facial Feature Points Using Cumulative Histogram

This paper proposes a novel adaptive algorithm to extract facial feature points automatically such as eyebrows corners, eyes corners, nostrils, nose tip, and mouth corners in frontal view faces, which is based on cumulative histogram approach by varying different threshold values. At first, the method adopts the Viola-Jones face detector to detect the location of face and also crops the face region in an image. From the concept of the human face structure, the six relevant regions such as right eyebrow, left eyebrow, right eye, left eye, nose, and mouth areas are cropped in a face image. Then the histogram of each cropped relevant region is computed and its cumulative histogram value is employed by varying different threshold values to create a new filtering image in an adaptive way. The connected component of interested area for each relevant filtering image is indicated our respective feature region. A simple linear search algorithm for eyebrows, eyes and mouth filtering images and contour algorithm for nose filtering image are applied to extract our desired corner points automatically. The method was tested on a large BioID frontal face database in different illuminations, expressions and lighting conditions and the experimental results have achieved average success rates of 95.27%.
