  Real-Time YOLOv8l Contraband Detection in X- Ray Security Screening with Automated Identification of Weapons and Hazardous Objects for Threat Alerting

  By Vaibhav Singh, Vivek Verma

  Abstract: A real-time contraband detection system based on YOLOv8l has been proposed for use in very high security installations, such as airports and public screening facilities. The contraband detection system has been trained with curated X-ray contraband datasets containing twelve different object types like firearms, knives, bullets, etc., with the datasets having been constructed to provide an equal number of examples for each object class to support robust detection. The methodology …

  Self-Supervised Learning for Early Disease Detection in Low-Label Medical Image Datasets

  By Aditya Patel

  Abstract: Getting reliable labeled data for medical image analysis is genuinely difficult. Radiologists, pathologists, and other specialist clinicians are expensive, slow, and not universally available — particularly in low-resource clinical environments across developing nations. Unlike natural image benchmarks such as ImageNet, which provide millions of meticulously labeled training examples, most publicly accessible medical imaging repositories offer only a few hundred to a few thousand annotated scans. Supervised deep learning models trained …
