    Bio-Inspired Hyperparameter Tuning of Federated Learning for Student Activity Recognition in Online Exam Environment
    (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2024) Ramu, R.; Prasad, N.; Guddeti, R.M.R.; Mohan, B.R.
    Nowadays, online examination (exam in short) platforms are becoming more popular, demanding strong security measures for digital learning environments. This includes addressing key challenges such as head pose detection and estimation, which are integral for applications like automatic face recognition, advanced surveillance systems, intuitive human–computer interfaces, and enhancing driving safety measures. The proposed work holds significant potential in enhancing the security and reliability of online exam platforms. It achieves this by accurately classifying students’ attentiveness based on distinct head poses, a novel approach that leverages advanced techniques like federated learning and deep learning models. The proposed work aims to classify students’ attentiveness with the help of different head poses. In this work, we considered five head poses: front face, down face, right face, up face, and left face. A federated learning (FL) framework with a pre-trained deep learning model (ResNet50) was used to accomplish the classification task. To classify students’ activity (behavior) in an online exam environment using the FL framework’s local client device, we considered the ResNet50 model. However, identifying the best hyperparameters in the local client ResNet50 model is challenging. Hence, in this study, we proposed two hybrid bio-inspired optimized methods, namely, Particle Swarm Optimization with Genetic Algorithm (PSOGA) and Particle Swarm Optimization with Elitist Genetic Algorithm (PSOEGA), to fine-tune the hyperparameters of the ResNet50 model. The bio-inspired optimized methods employed in the ResNet50 model will train and classify the students’ behavior in an online exam environment. The FL framework trains the client model locally and sends the updated weights to the server model. The proposed hybrid bio-inspired algorithms outperform the GA and PSO when independently used. The proposed PSOGA not only outperforms the proposed PSOEGA but also outperforms the benchmark algorithms considered for performance evaluation by giving an accuracy of 95.97%. © 2024 by the authors.

    Frames for Operators in Banach Spaces
    (Springer New York LLC barbara.b.bertram@gsk.com, 2017) Ramu, R.; Johnson, P.S.
    A family of local atoms in a Banach space has been introduced and it has been generalized to an atomic system for operators in Banach spaces, which has been further led to introduce new frames for operators by Dastourian and Janfada, by making use of semi-inner products. Unlike the traditional way of considering sequences in the dual space, sequences in the original space are considered to study them. Appropriate changes have been made in the definitions of atomic systems and frames for operators to fit them for sequences in the dual space without using semi-inner products so that the new notion for Banach spaces can be thought of as a generalization of Banach frames. With some crucial assumptions, we show that frames for operators in Banach spaces share nice properties of frames for operators in Hilbert spaces. © 2017, Institute of Mathematics, Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology (VAST) and Springer Science+Business Media Singapore.
