A deep segmentation network for crack detection with progressive and hierarchical context fusion

Accurate detection of crack defects in infrastructure is crucial to ensure their safety and extend their service life. However, the presence of complex backgrounds, various shapes and sizes of crack defects, incomplete discontinuous crack defects, and class imbalance makes this task challenging. Traditional image processing techniques are sensitive to image noise and may miss cracks due to weak textures, complex lighting conditions, and other similar objects on the pavement. In recent years, deep learning-based segmentation networks have been proposed for crack defect detection, but they still face challenges in high-precision crack segmentation due to insufficient local feature processing, information loss caused by pooling operations, and limited receptive fields. To address these issues, we propose an end-to-end deep crack segmentation network, called PHCF-Net, which incorporates progressive and hierarchical context fusion. Firstly, the proposed network consists of progressive context fusion (PCF) and hierarchical context fusion (HCF) blocks for effective aggregation of global and local context information. Secondly, a multi-scale context fusion (MCF) block is proposed for multi-scale context extraction and aggregation. Finally, in order to solve the information loss problem caused by pooling operations, a hierarchical context fusion (HCF) block is proposed for effective aggregation of the deep and shallow features. In addition, a multi-scale input unit is also applied to the proposed segmentation network to obtain more context information. To evaluate the performance of PHCF-Net, we have conducted experiments on two publicly available crack segmentation datasets and compared its performance with mainstream segmentation models. The results demonstrate that proposed PHCF-Net achieves better pixel-level crack detection results and outperforms other advanced segmentation models.

PENINGKATAN KESUBURAN TANAH DAN HASIL PADI SAWAH MELALUI APLIKASI PUPUK ORGANIK

The yield of irrigated paddy rice in Sri Agung Village has decreased. In the last four years, the increase in the addition of input units (fertilizers) has not been followed by an increase in economic yields. This study aims to analyze the effect of organic fertilizers on soil fertility, such as pH, total N, organic C, available P and available K. The research was conducted in the rice fields of Sri Agung Village. Batang Asam area, West Tanjung Jabung Regency - Jambi. The research was conducted from April to September 2020. The study used a randomized block design with six treatments and five replications. The treatments tried were: Recommended Fertilizer (R), five types of organic fertilizer with a dose of 10 t ha-1 each, namely, Petroganik+R ( P1), Compost Solid Decanter + R (P2), Chicken Manure + R (P3 ), Cow Manure +R (P4) and Industrial Waste Compost + R (P5). The results showed that organic fertilizers significantly increased available K content of paddy soil but they did not significantly increase soil pH, total N, organic C and available P. The highest yield of dry milled grain (7.52 t ha-1) was obtained at +R (P1) Petroganic treatment.

The Design and Development of a Prayer Counter

This paper presents the systematic design process and prototype development of a prayer counter. The prayer counter is used to count the number of units of prayers or raka’at, based on the number of prostrations. The unit of prayer is determined by the accumulated number of prostration, which are two prostrations for one unit of prayer. The prayer counter receives an input signal from the input unit as it is actuated by an individual in prayer. The actuation of an input unit begins as an individual’s head touches the input unit in prostration. The input signal will be converted into an output signal and displayed with a Light Emitting Diode (LED). Users of the prayer counter can see the current unit of prayer through the display unit indicator. The LED’s lights indicate the current number of prostrations and indirectly indicate the current unit of prayer. The result of product testing, and initial evaluation of the product, shows that the prayer counter can display the number of prostrations and units of prayer precisely. It is therefore able to avoid doubt in the number of prayer units, if the individual gets distracted in prayer. In addition, the responses received from potential users, about the benefit of the product to them, was very positive. In conclusion, considering the relevant issues of the product being designed is the most important step of the design process.

Effect of Safety Education to Workers Productivity at The Electric Welding Workshop

Productivity is generally defined as a measure of the amount of output generated per unit of input. The aim of this research is to analyse the effect of the fulfilment of Occupational Safety and Health as well as the ability, experience, motivation, and discipline of workers on the probability of low productivity in the Electric Welding Workshop. The method used in this study was a qualitative descriptive method with questionnaires and observation sheets. The result showed that the Electric Welding Workshop workers felt that the fulfilment of OSH aspects, their ability, experience, motivation, and discipline impacted their productivity. The study concludes that Electric Welding Workshop is not included in low productivity because it produces stuffs with quality and quantity according to standards, although it has not yet fulfilled the aspects that increase productivity.

Waist-to-height ratio assessment device

Many diseases are associated with excess abdominal fat like cardiovascular diseases. Monitoring and controlling abdominal fat led to one of the many factors that can change the status of a person’s health. Awareness of the waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) can be a guide to adjusting to a person’s lifestyle and maintaining a normal WHtR value. This study developed the WHtR assessment device that automatically calculates the WHtR value, displays the health status, and suggests the ideal waist circumference. The device is composed of a microcontroller that interconnects the other components of the device. A touchscreen liquid crystal display component was used as an input and output unit at the same time. The several testing that was conducted revealed accurate WHtR value calculation. The device is effective in assessing the health status of all age groups. The ideal waist circumference from the device was compared to manual computation and found that the success rate is one hundred percent (100%).

An Algorithm Design about Psychological Counseling Platform Using the Derivative Works

The psychological counseling platform using the derivative works in this study includes four main modules and two sub modules. The first main one is a content database that stores a plurality of derivative works in which keywords are set. The second is a message input module including a request message providing unit that displays a request message input from the client terminal on the counselor's terminal, and a counseling message input unit that receives a counseling message written based on the request message from the counselor's terminal. The third main module is a keyword extraction module that extracts keywords by analyzing the counseling message. Final one is an answer providing module that provides derivative works corresponding to the extracted keyword and the consultation message to the client terminal. As the sub modules, this system consists of a region division module and a chart generation module. The region division module allows the screen of the client terminal to correspond to the central region where the counseling message is placed and the vertices of an equilateral triangle having the central point of the central region as the outer center. The chart generation module consists of a chart display unit, an expected value calculation unit, and a variable value setting unit. Based on the proposed algorithm, this system has the effect of increasing the effectiveness of psychological counseling and improving the concentration of counseling by providing recreated secondary copyrighted content using copyright-protected videos, images, music, and photos together with psychological counseling at the same time.

Corn in postcut crops

In agrotechnologies postcut crops of intermediate cultures are placed after harvesting annual grasses for green mass, and stubble crops after harvesting early grain crops. Annual herbs at the April sowing dates reach mowing maturity and are harvested for green mass in the third decade of June – the first decade of July. However, after harvesting the main crop of the crop rotation, there are still about 70–90 days left until the end of the growing season, which is quite enough to obtain a full-fledged harvest in the hay crops, and thereby increase the index of arable land use [1; 6]. In this regard in 2020–2022 in the foothill zone of the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic (the Baksansky district), the scientific research was carried out on the irrigated Ciscaucasian chernozems (according to B.A. Dospekhov “Methodology of field experience”) in order to study the elements of improving the technology of growing corn in hay crops, providing a reduction in energy costs and optimization of the main parameters of soil fertility. Recently, agricultural production has been operating in the conditions of a resource deficit and an increasingly complex structure of economic relations and an ever-increasing problem of soil and water conservation. The dominance of economic mechanisms fundamentally changes many generally accepted ideas and approaches in the field of agricultural land use. The overall objective is to maximize crop production per unit of input. As a result of the research, it has been found that the cultivation of corn for grain by cutting, after winter rapeseed by chisel processing to a depth of 28–30 cm and the application of fertilizers at a dose of N120P90, contributes to the stabilization of the agrophysical properties of the soil and the optimization of the energy balance

The effect of intellectual capital on market performance with bank efficiency as a mediation variable

Research aims: The COVID-19 pandemic caused capital market conditions, especially the banking sector, to decline. Therefore, a strategy is needed to help increase the market value of banking companies so that capital market conditions for the banking sector can be stable. The plan that can be implemented is to properly improve the management of the company's intellectual capital and improve efficiency in these banking companies so that the banking industry can develop and regain its existence in the capital market. This study aims to empirically test and prove the effect of intellectual capital on market performance mediated by banking efficiency.Design/Methodology/Approach: This study used a quantitative approach with a sample of banking sector companies on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2017-2021. The data met the criteria of 37 companies with a total of 117 observations. The banking efficiency testing method used Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Furthermore, the analysis of the hypothesis testing phase utilized multiple linear regression methods.Research findings: The study revealed that intellectual capital positively affected market performance. Second, intellectual capital had a positive impact on banking efficiency. Third, banking efficiency had a positive effect on market performance. Fourth, banking efficiency could fully mediate the relationship between intellectual capital and market performance.Practical and Theoretical Contribution/Originality: This study can provide input to companies to obtain high corporate value and competitive advantage. Thus, companies must pay attention to their intellectual capital. The results of this study were empirical evidence of the resource-based view theory in the utilization of intellectual capital and provided empirical evidence regarding the effect of intellectual capital on market performance through bank efficiency as a mediating variable.Research limitation: Business efficiency measurement utilized a non-parametric approach using Data Envelopment Analysis which has the limitation that each input and output unit is identical to other units of the same type.

An optimization neural network model for bridge cable force identification

Accurate determination of cable force values is the most important technical means to avoid damage to the cable bridge. In order to avoid the influence of the difficulty in distinguishing the boundary conditions and the lack of low-order natural frequency on the cable force determination results, an intelligent method for determining the bridge cable force based on the vibration method is proposed. With the cable length, linear density, flexural stiffness and input frequency as input units and the cable force as output unit, a neural network is established to identify the cable force by combining the finite element simulation data, and the model is optimized using the intelligent swarm optimization algorithm. The results show that compared with the cable force prediction models using generalized regression neural network (GRNN) and GRNN optimized using particle swarm optimization (PSO-GRNN) and canonical identification methods, the GRNN optimized using sparrow search algorithm (SSA-GRNN) proposed in this paper has a better identification effect. The prediction error of short cables is essentially within 10%, and that of long cables is within 5%. It can not only realize the accurate identification of bridge cable force by ignoring the boundary conditions and vibration frequency order of cables, but also has a wide range of applications.

Dwarfism in Fruit Plants: A Review

In this modern era, farmers are adopting high density planting (HDP) for most of the fruit crops. Dwarfing is based on the principle of making the optimal use of vertical and horizontal space per unit time and harnessing the highest potential returns per unit of inputs and natural resources. Dwarfing in fruit crops can be accomplished through a variety of methods, including the use of dwarfing rootstock, the selection of spur type scion cultivars, use of interstock, pruning, root pruning, various training systems, girdling, scoring, bark invasion and the application of growth retardants. One strategy for promoting early fruiting, less vigour and increasing production is to utilize dwarf root stocks. The mechanism underlying dwarfing involves anatomical, physiological and biochemical changes. It has been proposed that dwarfing rootstock or interstock control tree size by regulating the auxin that passes through the rootstock or interstock’s bark. Paclobutrazol retards growth, shoot elongation and reduced internodal length by inhibiting gibberellins synthesis. Dwarfness can be imparted by the using incompatible rootstock. Dwarfing can be induced by inducing viral infection, although, it is not commercially adopted. Recombinant DNA technology has recently expanded the gene pool that can be managed to cause dwarfism and maximize benefits in horticulture crops.

Comparing Different Measures of Bilingual Input Derived From Naturalistic Daylong Recordings.

Measuring language input, especially for infants growing up in bilingual environments, is challenging. Although the ways to measure input have expanded rapidly in recent years, there are many unresolved issues. In this study, we compared different measurement units and sampling methods used to estimate bilingual input in naturalistic daylong recordings. We used the Language Environment Analysis system to obtain and process naturalistic daylong recordings from 21 French-English bilingual families with an infant at 10 and 18 months of age. We examined global and context-specific input estimates and their relation with infant vocal activeness (i.e., volubility) when input was indexed by different units (adult word counts, speech duration, 30-s segment counts) and using different sampling methods (every-other-segment, top-segment). Input measures indexed by different units were strongly and positively correlated with each other and yielded similar results regarding their relation with infant volubility. As for sampling methods, sampling every other 30-s segment was representative of the entire corpus. However, sampling the top segments with the densest input was less representative and yielded different results regarding their relation with infant volubility. How well the input that a child receives throughout a day is portrayed by a selected sample and correlates with the child's vocal activeness depends on the choice of input units and sampling methods. Different input units appear to generate consistent results, while caution should be taken when choosing sampling methods. https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.22335688.

Sustainable Farming in Practice: Building Resilient and Profitable Smallholder Agricultural Systems in Sub-Saharan Africa

Sub-Saharan Africa is at crossroads. With a rapidly growing population of 1.2 billion and changing climates, the continent faces major development challenges, including food insecurity, climate change, resource degradation, poverty, gender inequality, and social exclusion. While there are multiple competing narratives promoted in the high-input, industrialised world to address climate change and the resilience of agricultural systems (e.g., regenerative agriculture, agroecology), there is an ongoing debate and genuine questions about the appropriateness of these approaches to small-scale farmers in SSA. African agricultural systems are unique, characterised by low productivity, nutrient mining, land degradation, hoe culture, and fragmented and diversified small farms. Though environmental pollution and over-dependence on fossil fuel-powered mechanisation are rarely topping the priority list, climate change is becoming a major concern. The top-down narratives from environment-concerned communities lack the tools to address the most pressing and immediate challenge of local communities in Sub-Saharan Africa, namely (i) intensification by increased crop productivity per unit of inputs, (ii) increased access to rural energy forcing farmers to use available biomass for cooking instead of soil regeneration; (iii) the intent of no use or reduced mineral fertilisers, in a system marred by nutrient mining over centuries; and (iv) failure to address recurrent drought through integrated soil water management interventions. To address these specific challenges, we present context-specific, outcome-oriented farming solutions as a viable and appropriate strategy called ‘sustainable farming’. We argue that the nature-based narratives will remain to be important but will be better adopted if they respond to local demands and context-specific challenges of small-scale farmers. By means of three successful land restoration programmes in East Africa, we present eight outcomes that should be addressed to ensure sustainable farming of small holdings and reduce the risk of climate change. For these innovations to be adopted at scale, we proposed to put in place incentive mechanisms and functional last-mile delivery systems.

Forecasting and Optimizing Dual Media Filter Performance via Machine Learning

Four different machine learning algorithms, including Decision Tree (DT), Random Forest (RF), Multivariable Linear Regression (MLR), Support Vector Regressions (SVR), and Gaussian Process Regressions (GPR), were applied to predict the performance of a multi-media filter operating as a function of raw water quality and plant operating variables. The models were trained using data collected over a seven year period covering water quality and operating variables, including true colour, turbidity, plant flow, and chemical dose for chlorine, KMnO4, FeCl3, and Cationic Polymer (PolyDADMAC). The machine learning algorithms have shown that the best prediction is at a 1-day time lag between input variables and unit filter run volume (UFRV). Furthermore, the RF algorithm with grid search using the input metrics mentioned above with a 1-day time lag has provided the highest reliability in predicting UFRV with a RMSE and R2 of 31.58 and 0.98, respectively. Similarly, RF with grid search has shown the shortest training time, prediction accuracy, and forecasting events using a ROC-AUC curve analysis (AUC over 0.8) in extreme wet weather events. Therefore, Random Forest with grid search and a 1-day time lag is an effective and robust machine learning algorithm that can predict the filter performance to aid water treatment operators in their decision makings by providing real-time warning of the potential turbidity breakthrough from the filters.

Refinements of Approximation Results of Conditional Restricted Boltzmann Machines.

Conditional restricted Boltzmann machines (CRBMs) are the conditional variant of restricted Boltzmann machines (RBMs), which are used to simulate conditional probability distributions. While promising for practical applications, there is a lack of theoretical studies on the approximation ability of CRBMs. In this article, by contributing analysis tools, especially designed for the conditional models, we improve the results of the representational power of CRBMs based on existing work on RBMs. We first study the properties of CRBMs to approximate conditional Markov random fields. On this basis, a universal approximation result is obtained by deriving upper bounds on the minimal number of hidden units, which improves the previous result. Furthermore, the result about maximal approximation errors of CRBMs is also improved by reducing the number of hidden units that can guarantee approximations within a given error tolerance. Furthermore, the representational efficiency of CRBMs in computing deterministic conditional distributions is investigated. Specifically, we show that there are exponentially many deterministic conditional distributions that cannot be computed by CRBMs whose size does not exponentially grow with the number of input units. Some specific examples of these hard-to-present deterministic conditional distributions are provided. Finally, some numerical experiments are carried out to verify the theoretical results of the properties of CRBMs to approximate conditional Markov random fields and the universal approximation of CRBMs.

Does Introduction of Individual Learning at Home Improve the Effectiveness of Group Learning at Classroom in First-Year PBL Course?

This study examined whether distance learning in a first-year PBL courses in the first unit of instruction improves the effectiveness of subsequent group work learning over face-to-face learning. The first-year PBL consisted of three units: an input unit, a group work unit and an outcomes presentation unit. In 2017/2018, the input unit was conducted in the classroom with face-to-face learning. In 2017, a workshop was held in addition to face-to-face learning in classroom. In 2020/2021, the input unit was conducted with distance learning. In the years, approximately 100 people completed the questionnaire. A preliminary check confirmed that the average score of students' self-assessment of their own social skills were not significantly different among the four years. Analysis showed that in 2018, the perceived efficacy in the group work unit depended on learners' high social skills. Alternatively, in 2017/2020/2021, the perceived efficacy in group work was not dependent on learners' social skills. This suggests that distance learning and face-to-face learning with workshop learning, instead of full face-to-face learning for the units placed before the group work unit facilitates the learning efficacy of the group work unit, even for students with social skill concerns.

Biophysical parameters control signal transfer in spiking network.

Information transmission and representation in both natural and artificial networks is dependent on connectivity between units. Biological neurons, in addition, modulate synaptic dynamics and post-synaptic membrane properties, but how these relate to information transmission in a population of neurons is still poorly understood. A recent study investigated local learning rules and showed how a spiking neural network can learn to represent continuous signals. Our study builds on their model to explore how basic membrane properties and synaptic delays affect information transfer. The system consisted of three input and output units and a hidden layer of 300 excitatory and 75 inhibitory leaky integrate-and-fire (LIF) or adaptive integrate-and-fire (AdEx) units. After optimizing the connectivity to accurately replicate the input patterns in the output units, we transformed the model to more biologically accurate units and included synaptic delay and concurrent action potential generation in distinct neurons. We examined three different parameter regimes which comprised either identical physiological values for both excitatory and inhibitory units (Comrade), more biologically accurate values (Bacon), or the Comrade regime whose output units were optimized for low reconstruction error (HiFi). We evaluated information transmission and classification accuracy of the network with four distinct metrics: coherence, Granger causality, transfer entropy, and reconstruction error. Biophysical parameters showed a major impact on information transfer metrics. The classification was surprisingly robust, surviving very low firing and information rates, whereas information transmission overall and particularly low reconstruction error were more dependent on higher firing rates in LIF units. In AdEx units, the firing rates were lower and less information was transferred, but interestingly the highest information transmission rates were no longer overlapping with the highest firing rates. Our findings can be reflected on the predictive coding theory of the cerebral cortex and may suggest information transfer qualities as a phenomenological quality of biological cells.

How Do Artificial Neural Networks Classify Musical Triads? A Case Study in Eluding Bonini's Paradox.

How might artificial neural networks (ANNs) inform cognitive science? Often cognitive scientists use ANNs but do not examine their internal structures. In this paper, we use ANNs to explore how cognition might represent musical properties. We train ANNs to classify musical chords, and we interpret network structure to determine what representations ANNs discover and use. We find connection weights between input units and hidden units can be described using Fourier phase spaces, a representation studied in musical set theory. We find the total signal coming through these weighted connection weights is a measure of the similarity between two Fourier structures: the structure of the hidden unit's weights and the structure of the stimulus. This is surprising because neither of these Fourier structures is computed by the hidden unit. We then show how output units use such similarity measures to classify chords. However, we also find different types of units-units that use different activation functions-use this similarity measure very differently. This result, combined with other findings, indicates that while our networks are related to the Fourier analysis of musical sets, they do not perform Fourier analyses of the kind usually described in musical set theory. Our results show Fourier representations of music are not limited to musical set theory. Our results also suggest how cognitive psychologists might explore Fourier representations in musical cognition. Critically, such theoretical and empirical implications require researchers to understand how network structure converts stimuli into responses.

Agriculture and Agricultural Water Management: Historical Perspectives and Integration of Research and Extension/Outreach for Large-Scale Technology Adoption in Production Fields

Highlights AWMN had a significant impact on enhancing agricultural production efficiency. Irrigated land area represented by the Network partners reached 1.20 million ha. On a 16-yr average, the reduction in water withdrawal was 144 mm/ha per growing season. AWMN reduced irrigation water withdrawal by 5 billion m3 from 2005 to 2020. $304 million was saved due to consuming less diesel fuel for pumping irrigation water. A total reduction of 900,000 tons in CO2 emissions was achieved from 2005 to 2020. Abstract. To achieve impact for water resources conservation enhancement and agricultural crop water productivity (CWP) per unit of input for meeting the food, fiber, feed, fuel, finance, and farmstead (6Fs) needs of the rapidly increasing global population, societies must find innovative ways to enable the transfer of research- and science-based data, knowledge, information, technology, and strategies for adoption in agricultural production fields. The objective of this study is to present historical perspectives on the evolution of agriculture and agricultural water management in different parts of the world and present a modern-era agricultural water management network, its objectives, and functions in achieving large-scale impacts to enhance water resource management. The Agricultural Water Management Network (AWMN) was established in 2005 to integrate science, research, and education/outreach principles into producers’ practices to help them make better-informed decisions, conserve water and energy resources, reduce CO2 emissions, and enhance CWP. Through coordinated research, demonstration, and education programs, the AWMN significantly enhanced water resource management and the protection of the environment. It contributed to the sustainability of natural resources and the agricultural economy through the adoption of innovative methodologies and strategies. Since the beginning of the AWMN, over 18,000 producers, crop consultants, state and federal agency personnel, irrigation district personnel, agricultural industry personnel, and other professionals have participated as learners and adopters in over 800 Extension, education, and/or outreach programs conducted by the AWMN team between 2005 and 2020. The irrigated land area represented by the Network partners and collaborators reached over 1.20 million ha in 2020. Water withdrawal for irrigation was reduced from 119 mm/ha per growing season in 2006 to 163 mm/ha per growing season in 2020, with a 16-year average of 144 mm/ha, due to the adoption of technologies and management strategies demonstrated and taught in the Network. Between 2005 and 2020, the AWMN is estimated to have reduced water withdrawal for irrigation by over 5 billion m3 (5 km3; 4.1 million acre-ft). Due to the reduction in irrigation water withdrawals, conservatively, over $304 million was saved by consuming less diesel fuel for pumping irrigation water. The AWMN has effectively reduced CO2 emissions due to a reduction in diesel fuel use, which was over 125,000 tons in 2020 alone with a total reduction of about 900,000 tons from 2005 to 2020. Due to the AWMN’s efforts, tools and technologies introduced in the AWMN are being cost-shared by the Natural Resources Districts for the producers, up to 50% to 70% of the total cost. The AWMN has become the largest and most impactful research-based water management program in the United States that has accomplished substantial adoption of technology and information/knowledge transfer in agriculture through the strong and dedicated partnership of universities, private industry, state and federal agencies, producers, irrigation districts, and crop consultants. The Network is an excellent example of a large-scale program that successfully integrated science, research, and Extension/outreach/education to have significant positive impacts on irrigation agriculture. Keywords: Agricultural education, Agriculture, Crop water productivity, Irrigation, Irrigators network, Technology adoption, Water conservation, Water management.

The Synergic Entropy. An efficient frontier output derived from merged input units boosted by synergy and constrained by critical input

The theory equates the maximum output deviations (efficient frontier) caused by combined inputs with affinity-synergy in a system, which leads to a parametric volatility whose curve can be compared to data envelopment analysis (DEA). The input is a cumulative variable (e.g.: merged assets), and the output is a flow variable (e.g.: combined incomes). Rather than being purely stochastic, volatility is estimated by a novel parameter for risk named synergy, which is constrained by critical input (scarce resources). The output acceleration derived from the mergers among inputs, boosted by synergy, is the main foundation of the approach, which particular case gives Shannon and Boltzmann-Gibbs entropies. Tests are done in the 11 USA Sectors over their quarterly financial statements, proving that synergy is significant for financial statements, whereas typical betas only present significance in stock market data. A practical application is a novel discount rate for valuation using synergy, whose results for each sector are stable and coherent with perceived risk. Systems that rely on causal relations between output and multiple inputs can be regressed under novel parameters, rather than reckoning exclusively in optimization procedures.

Voice Activated Desktop Assistant Using Python

Abstract: The development in science over time has been unmeasurable. From the first digital laptop constructed by using Eniac having a clock pace of 100KHz to Summit developed by the US Department of Energy has an overall performance of 148.6 petaflops, we have come a lengthy way in technological advancement. In such a generation of development if human beings are still struggling to interact with their laptop the usage of a variety of input units, then it’s no longer worth it. For this reason, many voice assistants had been developed and are nonetheless being accelerated for higher overall performance and efficiency. The fundamental mission of a voice assistant is to limit the use of input units like keyboard, mouse, contact pens, etc. This will limit each the hardware price and house taken with the aid of it.
