Real-time Prediction in Hands-free Computing for Disabled by Pradeep V

“…There are a number of limitations to mouse replacement systems that use a webcam as a mouse. In order to enable people with movement disabilities to use a standard PC, this research suggests enhancing the ability of camera-based hands-free computing systems to control the mouse cursor by predicting the user's selection of the target item in the GUI-based system using neural network techniques. …”

Leveraging Generative AI for Modelling and Optimization of Maintenance Policies in Industrial Systems by Adolfo Crespo Márquez, Diego Pérez Oliver

“…This paper explores how generative AI can enhance the modelling and optimization of maintenance policies by incorporating real-time problem-solving techniques into structured maintenance frameworks. Maintenance policies, evolving from simple calendar-dependent or age-dependent preventive maintenance strategies to more complex approaches involving partial system replacement, minimal repairs, or imperfect maintenance, have traditionally been optimized based on minimizing costs, maximizing reliability, and ensuring operational continuity. …”
