Multimodal AI Framework for Personalized and Health-Aware Cooking Recommendations

Swarna Suganthi S

In the current era of growing interest in health-conscious eating and personalized nutrition, traditional recipe recommendation systems often fail to account for diverse user needs, ingredient availability, and practical cooking constraints. The Multimodal Artificial Intelligence (AI) Framework proposed in this study integrates and analyzes multiple data modalities—textual dietary preferences, food images, and cooking videos—to generate personalized and health-aware cooking recommendations. The framework considers individual health profiles, ingredients detected from visual inputs, and user-specific cooking skill levels inferred from video analysis to tailor recipe suggestions effectively. By leveraging multimodal deep learning algorithms, the system delivers contextually aware, precise, and adaptive recommendations. Experimental evaluations on benchmark and hybrid datasets demonstrate its effectiveness in enhancing recommendation relevance, supporting dietary compliance, and improving overall user satisfaction. These results indicate strong potential for real-world deployment in intelligent culinary assistants, personalized diet planning platforms, and smart health applications.

MEMES DETECTION USING CONVOLUTIONAL NEURAL NETWORKS

DHARAVATH CHAMPLA

Online platforms have become integral to modern communication, with images playing a crucial role in conveying information and emotions. However, a significant portion of online imagery contains offensive or inappropriate content, such as hate speech, violence, and nudity, which can have detrimental social and psychological impacts. This research aims to address this challenge by leveraging the power of deep learning, specifically Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), to accurately categorize images as offensive or non-offensive. Traditional machine learning algorithms, including Support Vector Machines (SVM), Naïve Bayes, and Decision Trees, have shown limitations in achieving high accuracy in this complex task. These methods often struggle to effectively capture the intricate visual patterns and contextual nuances present in images. In contrast, CNNs, with their inherent ability to automatically learn and extract hierarchical features from images, offer a significant advantage. CNNs can effectively analyze visual elements, text overlays, and contextual cues within images to identify and classify offensive content with high precision. Our research demonstrates the effectiveness of a CNN-based model in classifying images as offensive or non-offensive with an accuracy exceeding 90%. This high level of accuracy significantly improves upon the limitations of traditional methods and has the potential to mitigate the negative social impact of offensive content on online platforms. By effectively identifying and filtering offensive imagery, our model can contribute to creating a safer and more inclusive online environment for all users.

The Hidden Scale of Emotion and Free Will: Neuroscientific and Computational Perspectives

Cristina Brasi Filippo Sanfilippo

Recognizing emotional intensity is a complex task that exceeds the scientific and biometric recognition of micro-expressions. The methods used by AI, including changes in neurogenerative states, are not reliable in recognizing emotional intensity because, above all, they are unable to distinguish between a highly intense emotion and a simulated emotion, while humans have the innate predisposition to emotion recognition. In fact, this innate predisposition is a necessary component to develop the ability to discern emotional intensity, which is the result of a continuous synchronicity process started in the womb with the exposure to maternal emotional variations. Successively, this capacity improves with the interaction of nature and culture, where prejudice, stereotypes, socio-cultural aspects and gender have an impact on emotional evolution. Finally, the assessment of intensity is closely linked to individual parameters such as personal history, coping responses, personality traits, and other individual factors. This study integrates the perspective of neuroscience with methods used in artificial intelligence for facial micro-expressions recognition and biometric elements. The mechanisms involved in the modulation of emotional responses are integrated here with neurophysiological evidence from profiling and computational approaches to emotion detection. Another element that is considered is free will, especially in the forensic field, highlighting how the incorrect use of AI risks compromising several fundamental rights. As highlighted in this study, human supervision of technicians specialized in profiling, is essential to ensure that purely biometric data is interpreted correctly. A multidisciplinary, human-centered approach is needed, combining robust physiological modeling, transparent algorithms, and strong ethical safeguards.

Measuring Continuance Intention of Indonesian Internet Service Provider: A Quantitative Study

SELLI KARLINAWATI

This study focuses on the decline in an Indonesian internet provider market share despite increasing revenue and number of customers. This phenomenon is interesting to study further, especially considering the importance of customer satisfaction in maintaining market share. There are few studies that specifically analyze the influence of brand image and brand awareness on continuance intention on fixed broadband products, especially in Indonesia. This study aims to fill the gap in the literature by analyzing the influence of brand image and brand awareness on continuance intention through customer satisfaction on internet provider products in Indonesia. By distributing a structured survey, we took a quantitative strategy. To analyze the data we collected, we used the SEM-PLS method. Our findings show how Brand Image has a positive and significant effect on Customer Satisfaction, Continuance Intention has a positive and significant effect on Customer Satisfaction and Brand Awareness has a positive and significant effect on Continuance Intention through Customer Satisfaction. On the other hand, Brand Awareness does not have a significant effect on Continuance Intention and Customer Satisfaction either directly or indirectly. Also, Brand Image does not significantly affect Continuance Intention.

Revolutionizing cyber security in WSN: ML-driven data sensing and fusion

Tabarek Hasanain AlDaami

There are significant cybersecurity challenges that face wireless sensor networks (WSNs) as a result of their decentralized nature and limited resources although they are highly important in most fields. Traditional security mechanisms frequently fail to cope with the changing and diverse conditions in WSNs. To reduce data transfer but maintain WSNs sensor saturation and data security, this work proposes a prediction-based data fusion and sensing strategy. The suggested method called the ARIMA-SK-EELM system which is made up of Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA), Stable Kernel-Enhanced Extreme Learning Machine (SK-EELM), and threefish algorithm (TFA). In the procedure on data sensing and fusion, ARIMA predicts initially from a few data elements, SK-EELM for precise accuracy on initial expected value similar to actual value while TFA is used during transmissions for both encoded and decoded data. This paper introduces an ARIMA-SK-EELM model with high predictability, low interferences, strong scalability, and secrecy. The results of simulation show that this technique suggested can be effective in reducing unnecessary transfers by accurate forecasting.

Integrating Local and Global Frequency Attention for Multi-Teacher Knowledge Distillation

Zhidi Yao

Knowledge distillation, particularly in multi-teacher settings, presents significant challenges in effectively transferring knowledge from multiple complex models to a more compact student model. Traditional approaches often fall short in capturing the full spectrum of useful information. In this paper, we propose a novel method that integrates local and global frequency attention mechanisms to enhance the multi-teacher knowledge distillation process. By simultaneously addressing both fine-grained local details and broad global patterns, our approach improves the student model's ability to assimilate and generalize from the diverse knowledge provided by multiple teachers. Experimental evaluations on standard benchmarks demonstrate that our method consistently outperforms existing multi-teacher distillation techniques, achieving superior accuracy and robustness. Our results suggest that incorporating frequency-based attention mechanisms can significantly advance the effectiveness of knowledge distillation in multi-teacher scenarios, offering new insights and techniques for model compression and transfer learning.

Low-Profile Omnidirectionally Radiated Microstrip Antenna for LEO Satellite Swarm Communication

Seongmin Pyo

A novel monopolar microstrip antenna with symmetric ring-shaped trapezoid ground slots is proposed in this article. The center patch facilitates gap-coupling feeding directly connected with 50 Ohm coaxial line, while six gap-coupled radiators arranged in quasi-circle configuration. The trapezoid ground-slots beneath the six radiators serve to adjust the impedance bandwidth and reduce the overall antenna size. The proposed antenna exhibits good omni-directional radiation pattern with broad bandwidth. Consequently, the antenna supports degenerated non-fundamental TM02 and TM31 modes and demonstrates an impressive impedance bandwidth of 760 MHz from 5.44 GHz to 6.2 GHz with respect to 13% fractional bandwidth. Compared to recent monopolar microstrip antenna research, the proposed antenna shows a smaller size and a thinner substrate. This outcome makes the proposed antenna as ultra-low-profile, and our design stands out by providing a comparable bandwidth.
