Abstract
Automatic diagnosis and control of wheat plant disease are highly desired by agricultural experts. Accurate diagnosis of wheat leaf diseases is important for effective crop management. This study introduces a Wheat Leaf Convolutional (WLC) model, an enhancement of the VGG16 architecture, designed to detect and classify six distinct types of wheat leaf diseases using deep learning techniques. The model is trained using wheat leaf images dataset, augmented by Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) to improve generalization. The WLC model got an accuracy of 94.88%, outperforming classical CNN models such as ResNet-50, AlexNet, and MobileNet by significant margins. Key metrics, including recall, precesion and F1-score, were evaluated across six disease categories: Leaf Rust, Black Chaff, Powdery Mildew, Wheat Streak, Septoria, and Healthy plants. Experimental results show that the WLC model accurately and efficiently identifies diseases, making it a useful tool for real-time applications in precision agriculture. This work contributes to improving wheat disease diagnosis, enabling timely interventions and better crop management practices.

Two-Stage Email Classification Model for Enhanced Spam Filtering Through Feature Transformation and Iterative Learning

Abstract
Email spam remains a persistent challenge, with cybercriminals constantly evolving tactics to bypass traditional detection methods. In response, this research introduces a novel two-stage classification model that combines the strengths of logistic regression, principal component analysis (PCA), and a feedforward neural network to achieve exceptional spam detection performance. The first stage employs a rapid logistic regression classifier to filter out obvious spam emails, dramatically reducing computational overhead. We then subject the remaining emails to Principal Component Analysis (PCA), extracting the most salient features while minimizing noise and dimensionality. This transformed feature space is then fed into a neural network, empowering it to capture the complex, non-linear patterns indicative of sophisticated spam attacks. Evaluation of the widely-used SpamAssassin Public Corpus and Lingspam datasets demonstrated the synergistic benefits of this hybrid approach, achieving 98.0% accuracy in spam detection for the Spam Assassin Public Corpus, which was refined from an initial accuracy of 99.95% following further testing and optimization, and 99.34% accuracy for the Lingspam dataset respectively, in spam detection. The strategic combination of techniques transcends the traditional speed-accuracy tradeoff, simultaneously creating a new benchmark in both performance metrics. This robustness, consistency, and scalability make the proposed model a practical and effective solution for real-world spam filtering, with significant implications for securing email communication and protecting users from cybercrime.

Abstract
Air pollution presents substantial risks to public health and environmental sustainability, necessitating robust predictive models capable of monitoring and forecasting air quality. This study aimed to design and evaluate a robust air pollution prediction model by leveraging data-driven modeling techniques. The research employed a comprehensive methodology that involved the aggregation of global air pollution datasets, followed by data preprocessing and transformation to ensure the accuracy and relevance of the input data. This data-driven approach facilitated the analysis and interpretation of the dataset using various machine learning algorithms. The study explored the performance of several machine learning algorithms, including AdaBoost, Decision Tree, Extra Tree, Random Forest, Naïve Bayes, K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), and Neural Network, to determine their effectiveness in predicting different levels of air quality. Each algorithm was evaluated based on precision, recall, f1-score, and overall accuracy, with a particular focus on challenging air quality categories such as "Unhealthy" and "Very Unhealthy." The results revealed that while some models like Decision Tree, Extra Tree, Random Forest, and Neural Network achieved high accuracy and f1-scores, others such as AdaBoost and Naïve Bayes displayed limitations in handling certain air quality categories. To overcome these limitations and enhance the overall prediction accuracy, an ensemble model was developed by combining the strengths of the top-performing algorithms. The ensemble model demonstrated exceptional performance, achieving perfect precision, recall, f1-scores, and accuracy across all air quality categories, indicating its potential as a highly reliable tool for real-time air quality monitoring and prediction. This study concludes that the ensemble model represents a significant advancement in air pollution prediction. Hence, offering an efficient solution for environmental monitoring systems. The study highlights the importance of integrating multiple machine learning algorithms to improve model robustness and accuracy, providing valuable insights for public health management and policymaking. The study recommends further exploration of ensemble models in different geographic regions and the integration of real-time data from IoT devices to enhance the model`s applicability and effectiveness in diverse environmental scenarios.

Abstract
A novel Gray-Scale Thresholding Method [GSTM] for segmenting the region of interest and a Deep Convolutional Neural network model for the apple fruit sorting system has been proposed in this paper. First, the GSTM method converts the acquired colour image into a grayscale image and calculates the threshold value using the Gray pixel values. The acquired colour apple image was then segmented using the calculated threshold value to extract the diseased/defective part alone for further processing. Second, a Deep Convolutional Networking model was designed to classify the apple images as sound or diseased/defective apple images. The result obtained using the GSTM was compared with similar Grayscale thresholding methods like Otsu and Kapur. It was found that GSTM’s execution time was less and the visual segmentation was good compared to the other two methods in extracting the diseased/defective area. The Deep Convolutional Network using GSTM segmented images gave a classification/sorting accuracy rate of 91.67%.

Abstract
This literature review examines the roles of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and large language models (LLMs) in identifying and interpreting online threats. As AI and ML technologies advance, their use in analyzing vast online data for potential threats has grown significantly. The review systematically evaluates current methodologies for detecting and assessing threats, particularly in social media and online forums, which are both information hubs and sources of harmful content. Key findings highlight the effectiveness of BERT-based models in hate speech detection across languages and platforms, emphasizing their interpretability and transparency advantages over traditional neural networks. Models like GPT-4 further expand threat identification capabilities, detecting cyber threats and abusive language, with implications for public safety and mental health monitoring. Challenges remain, particularly in handling noisy, diverse, and imbalanced social media datasets. Domain-specific word embeddings and ensemble techniques, such as combining BERT with TextCNN and BiLSTM, show promise in improving detection accuracy in complex data environments. The review advocates for continued focus on hybrid and ensemble models to address data complexities and calls for future research to enhance model transparency and address ethical concerns like data privacy. Given the rise in digital communication, real-time threat detection is crucial for public safety, national security, and violence prevention. This review consolidates findings on the efficacy of AI and ML in detecting online threats, identifies recurring challenges, and outlines research gaps to guide future advancements. By synthesizing recent studies, it provides a structured analysis of the current capabilities and limitations of AI and ML in online threat monitoring, contributing to a foundational understanding of how these technologies can evolve to enhance societal safety.

Abstract
Data privacy is a critical challenge in publicly shared datasets. This study investigates the impact of privacy-preserving techniques, including gaussian noise distribution and k-anonymity-based generalization adjusting ?, on data utility. Using a dataset related to stress prediction, we apply these techniques to safeguard sensitive attributes while assessing their impact on machine learning models. Logistic Regression, Random Forest, and k-Nearest Neighbours (KNN) are used to evaluate utility preservation. Our results highlight the trade-off between privacy and predictive performance, demonstrating that k-anonymity generalization maintains better model accuracy compared to noise addition. These findings contribute to privacy-aware machine learning, applicable to domains handling sensitive demographic and financial data.
