    Real time ASL-Translator would be a video conferencing application which will detect American sign language and will convert it into English text. In today’s scenario after the pandemic, there is a need to understand the gestures while communicating using video conferencing. As most of the existing projects work only on predicting the individual letters and not the complete words it was quite challenging. In this work, real time ASL- Translator has been proposed and implemented that would provide a platform for video conferencing in real time scenario. For the same CNN model has been deployed on server side. The proposed solution results with 95% of accuracy.

    In this research, an optimized deep learning method was proposed to explore the possibility and practicality of neural net-work applications in medical imaging. The method was used to achieve the goal of judging common pneumonia and even COVID-19 more effectively. Where, the genetic algorithm was taken advantage to optimize the Dropout module, which is essential in neural networks so as to improve the performance of typical neural network models. The experiment results demonstrate that the…

    In this research, an optimized deep learning method was proposed to explore the possibility and practicality of neural net-work applications in medical imaging. The method was used to achieve the goal of judging common pneumonia and even COVID-19 more effectively. Where, the genetic algorithm was taken advantage to optimize the Dropout module, which is essential in neural networks so as to improve the performance of typical neural network models. The experiment results demonstrate that the proposed method shows excellent performance and strong practicability in judging pneumonia, and the application of advanced artificial intelligence technology in the field of medical imaging has broad prospects.
