Human face gender recognition requires fast image processing with high accuracy. Existing face gender recognition methods used traditional local features and machine learning methods have shortcomings of low accuracy or slow speed. In this paper, a new framework for face gender recognition to reach fast face gender recognition is proposed, which is based on Local Ternary Pattern (LTP) and Extreme Learning Machine (ELM). LTP is a generalization of Local Binary Pattern (LBP) that is in the presence of monotonic illumination variations on a face image, and has high discriminative power for texture classification. It is also more discriminate and less sensitive to noise in uniform regions. On the other hand, ELM is a new learning algorithm for generalizing single hidden layer feed forward networks without tuning parameters. The main advantages of ELM are the less stringent optimization constraints, faster operations, easy implementation, and usually improved generalization performance. The experimental results on public databases show that, in comparisons with existing algorithms, the proposed method has higher precision and better generalization performance at extremely fast learning speed.

No one denies the importance of online courses, which provide a very important alternative, especially for students who have jobs that prevent them from attending face-to-face in traditional classes; Engagement is one of the most important fundamental variables that indicate the course's success in achieving its objectives. Therefore, the current study aims to build a model using machine learning to predict student engagement in online courses. An online questionnaire was prepared and applied to the students of Jouf University in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and data was obtained from the input variables in the questionnaire, which are: specialization, gender, academic year, skills, emotional aspects, participation, performance, and engagement in the online course as a dependent variable. Multiple regression was used to analyze the data using SPSS. Kegel was used to build the model as a machine learning technique. The results indicated that there is a positive correlation between the four variables (skills, emotional aspects, participation, and performance) and engagement in online courses. The model accuracy was very high 99.99%, This shows the model's ability to predict engagement in the light of the input variables.

Objectives The purpose of this study was to check whether the classification of the individual's Body Mass Index (BMI) could be predicted by analyzing the voice data constructed at the Korean medicine data center (KDC) using machine learning. Methods In this study, we proposed a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based BMI classification model. The subjects of this study were Korean adults who had completed voice recording and BMI measurement in 2006-2015 among the data established at the Korean Medicine Data Center. Among them, 2,825 data were used for training to build the model, and 566 data were used to assess the performance of the model. As an input feature of CNN, Mel-frequency cepstral coefficient (MFCC) extracted from vowel utterances was used. A model was constructed to predict a total of four groups according to gender and BMI criteria: overweight male, normal male, overweight female, and normal female. Results & Conclusions Performance evaluation was conducted using F1-score and Accuracy. As a result of the prediction for four groups, The average accuracy was 0.6016, and the average F1-score was 0.5922. Although it showed good performance in gender discrimination, it is judged that performance improvement through follow-up studies is necessary for distinguishing BMI within gender. As research on deep learning is active, performance improvement is expected through future research.

Hajj is a fundamental pillar of Islam that all Muslims must perform at least once in their lives. However, Umrah can be performed several times yearly, depending on people's abilities. Every year, Muslims from all over the world travel to Saudi Arabia to perform Hajj. Hajj and Umrah pilgrims face multiple issues due to the large volume of people at the same time and place during the event. Therefore, a system is needed to facilitate the people's smooth execution of Hajj and Umrah procedures. Multiple devices are already installed in Makkah, but it would be better to suggest the data architectures with the help of machine learning approaches. The proposed system analyzes the services provided to the pilgrims regarding gender, location, and foreign pilgrims. The proposed system addressed the research problem of analyzing the Hajj pilgrim dataset most effectively. In addition, Visualizations of the proposed method showed the system's performance using data architectures. Machine learning algorithms classify whether male pilgrims are more significant than female pilgrims. Several algorithms were proposed to classify the data, including logistic regression, Naive Bayes, K-nearest neighbors, decision trees, random forests, and XGBoost. The decision tree accuracy value was 62.83%, whereas K-nearest Neighbors had 62.86%; other classifiers have lower accuracy than these. The open-source dataset was analyzed using different data architectures to store the data, and then machine learning approaches were used to classify the dataset.

The problem of classifying of age, gender, and race images still poses challenges. Despite deep and machine learning strides, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) remain pivotal in addressing these issues. This paper introduces a novel CNN-based approach for accurate and efficient age, gender, and race classification. Leveraging CNNs with residual blocks, our method enhances learning while minimizing computational complexity. The model effectively captures low-level and high-level features, yielding improved classification accuracy. Evaluation of the diverse 'fair face' dataset shows our model achieving 56.3%, 94.6%, and 58.4% accuracy for age, gender, and race, respectively.

In the past few decades, great progress has been made on understanding the interaction between nutrition and health status. But despite this wealth of knowledge, health problems related to nutrition continue to increase. This leads us to postulate that the continuing trend may result from a lack of consideration for intra-individual biological variation on dietary responses. Precision nutrition utilizes personal information such as age, gender, lifestyle, diet intake, environmental exposure, genetic variants, microbiome, and epigenetics to provide better dietary advices and interventions. Recent technological advances in the artificial intelligence, big data analytics, cloud computing, and machine learning, have made it possible to process data on a scale and in ways that were previously impossible. A big data platform is built by collecting numerous parameters such as meal features, medical metadata, lifestyle variation, genome diversity and microbiome composition. Sophisticated techniques based on machine learning algorithm can be used to integrate and interpret multiple factors and provide dietary guidance at a personalized or stratified level. The development of a suitable machine learning algorithm would make it possible to suggest a personalized diet or functional food based on analysis of intra-individual metabolic variation. This novel precision nutrition might become one of the most exciting and promising approaches of improving health conditions, especially in the context of non-communicable disease prevention.
