Multimodal examination answer data with expert-designed Outcome-Based Education rubrics for criterion-level assessment

This data article describes a multimodal collection of scanned examination answers paired with expert-designed Outcome-Based Education (OBE) grading metadata. The collection contains 485 answer submissions from 415 consenting students at four academic institutions. Eight faculty contributors supplied examination materials covering nine subjects and 12 distinct question templates. Each answer-level item links a scanned PDF to a randomized identifier, subject label, question, model answer, criterion definitions, performance-level descriptions, criterion marks, and a total mark. The 12 rubrics contain 47 criteria in total. The scans retain realistic academic content, including handwriting, printed text, equations, tables, code, figures, sketches, and diagrams. CamScanner, Adobe Scan, and conventional scanners contributed variation in illumination, contrast, orientation, compression, and resolution. Diverse handwriting, crossed-out work, revised calculations, and inserted corrections add further visual variability for robustness and generalization studies. Preparation involved heterogeneous-source consolidation, label and text standardization, score validation, identifier randomization, filename randomization, and JSON-to-PDF integrity checks. An answer-level audit confirmed 485 unique identifiers, 485 unique PDF filenames, agreement between each total mark and its criterion-mark sum, and scores within the applicable rubric maximum. The data can support rubric-aware automated evaluation, multimodal document understanding, criterion-level feedback, score prediction, and privacy-aware OBE assessment research. Access is restricted to research use and is available from the corresponding author upon reasonable request.

Multi-class heart disease Detection, Classification, and Prediction using Machine Learning Models

Heart disease is a leading cause of premature death worldwide, particularly among middle-aged and older adults, with men experiencing a higher prevalence. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), non-communicable diseases, including heart disease, account for 25\% (17.9 million) of global deaths, with over 43,204 annual fatalities in Bangladesh. However, the development of heart disease detection (HDD) systems tailored to the Bangladeshi population remains underexplored due to the lack of benchmark datasets and reliance on manual or limited-data approaches. This study addresses these challenges by introducing new, ethically sourced HDD dataset, BIG-Dataset and CD dataset which incorporates comprehensive data on symptoms, examination techniques, and risk factors. Using advanced machine learning techniques, including Logistic Regression and Random Forest, we achieved a remarkable testing accuracy of up to 96.6\% with Random Forest. The proposed AI-driven system integrates these models and datasets to provide real-time, accurate diagnostics and personalized healthcare recommendations. By leveraging structured datasets and state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms, this research offers an innovative solution for scalable and effective heart disease detection, with the potential to reduce mortality rates and improve clinical outcomes.

BAUST Lipi: A BdSL Dataset with Deep Learning Based Bangla Sign Language Recognition

People commonly communicate in English, Arabic, and Bengali spoken languages through various mediums. However, deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals primarily use body language and sign language to express their needs and achieve independence. Sign language research is burgeoning to enhance communication with the deaf community. While many researchers have made strides in recognizing sign languages such as French, British, Arabic, Turkish, and American, there has been limited research on Bangla sign language (BdSL) with less-than-satisfactory results. One significant barrier has been the lack of a comprehensive Bangla sign language dataset. In our work, we introduced a new BdSL dataset comprising alphabets totaling 18,000 images, with each image being 224x224 pixels in size. Our dataset encompasses 36 Bengali symbols, of which 30 are consonants and the remaining six are vowels. Despite our dataset contribution, many existing systems continue to grapple with achieving high-performance accuracy for BdSL. To address this, we devised a hybrid Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model, integrating multiple convolutional layers, activation functions, dropout techniques, and LSTM layers. Upon evaluating our hybrid-CNN model with the newly created BdSL dataset, we achieved an accuracy rate of 97.92\%. We are confident that both our BdSL dataset and hybrid CNN model will be recognized as significant milestones in BdSL research.
