GA-Heterogeneous achieved optimal costs with 3–4 second execution and 94% solution quality consistency. NSGA-II discovered 100 non-dominated Pareto-front solutions per dataset.
Deep Learning-Based Detection and Classification of Brain Tumors Using MRI Scans
A Novel Multi-Modal Approach
Comprehensive evaluation of 17 CNN architectures across 4 experiments for automated brain tumour classification from MRI scans. U-Net achieved 99.78% accuracy, with all top-5 models exceeding 99.39%. ROC-AUC scores exceeded 98.92% across architectures with specificity rates of 97.21–99.92%.
Intelligent Traffic Signal Management
Implementing Mamdani Fuzzy Logic for Dynamic Signal Control
Designed and implemented an adaptive traffic signal control system using Mamdani fuzzy inference with six input variables: vehicle queue length, mean velocity, emergency vehicle presence, pedestrian demand, weather, and time-of-day. Significantly outperformed fixed-time control on wait times, queue lengths, and throughput.
Chatbot with LangChain and RAG
Enhancing E-Learning with a Vertical Chatbot for Oud Instrument Education
Developed a domain-specific vertical chatbot for Oud instrument e-learning using LangChain and Retrieval-Augmented Generation. Bridges a research gap in culturally-specific instrument instruction and music therapy applications with contextually accurate Q&A over specialised content.
