Impact of Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Inflation on GDP: Evidence from Bangladesh
The study examines the impact of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Inflation on the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Bangladesh during 2006-2007 to 2021-2022. The research investigates the connection between GDP and these economic indicators using multiple linear regression analysis. The results reveals that the CPI significantly boosts GDP, suggesting that shifts in consumer prices over time have a big impact on the nation's overall economic development. In contrast, there appears to be a modest negative correlation between the GDP and the inflation rate. The study emphasizes the CPI's crucial influence on Bangladesh's GDP and highlights its significance as a major factor influencing the country's economic growth. These findings have important ramifications for stakeholders and policymakers, emphasizing the necessity of taking calculated risks to control inflation and the CPI in order to promote Bangladesh's sustainable economic progress and enhance excellence of life for its populace
Use of Machine Learning Application for Business Perspective
Customer segmentation plays a crucial role in understanding customer behaviour and tailoring marketing strategies. This project focuses on using K-Means clustering, a popular unsupervised machine learning algorithm, for customer classification based on their purchasing behaviour. The objective is to develop a customer segmentation model that can effectively group customers into distinct clusters to facilitate targeted marketing efforts.
The project begins with the collection of a fictitious e-commerce dataset consisting of 5000 customers with their purchase history. The dataset includes features such as customer ID, age, gender, annual income, and spending score. Data preprocessing techniques are applied to handle missing values and standardize the data, ensuring accurate and meaningful analysis.
Feature extraction involves selecting relevant features from the dataset, including age, gender, annual income, and spending score. These features provide valuable insights into customer behaviour and serve as the basis for customer segmentation.
The K-Means clustering algorithm is employed to classify customers into distinct clusters based on their purchasing behavior. The algorithm partitions the customers into K clusters by minimizing the sum of squared distances between the customers and their respective cluster centers. The optimal value of K is determined using the elbow method, a visual technique that identifies the point of maximum curvature in the sum of squared distances plot.
The effectiveness of the K-Means clustering model is evaluated using the Silhouette score. This score measures how well each customer fits into its assigned cluster, with values ranging from -1 to 1. A higher Silhouette score indicates better cluster cohesion and separatio
Comparative Evaluation of Predictive Models on Kidney, Lung Cancer and Heart Disease

Results showed high prediction accuracy for kidney disease and lung cancer , while prediction accuracy for heart disease was average . This difference indicates the need for better work and more information. Future studies will focus on improving cardiovascular models, addressing data uncertainty, and integrating predictive models into clinical practice to support early diagnosis and personalized treatment to improve patient outcomes. This study demonstrates the potential for machine learning to have a major impact on diagnosis and patient management
Vibration-Based Condition Monitoring of Shaft Bearing Systems Using Machine Learning Techniques
A shaft-bearing system is an essential part of rotating machinery. To guarantee that a shaft bearing system operates safely and reliably, the bearings' condition must be monitored on a regular basis. Bearing and shaft failures are thought to be the leading reasons of failure in various revolving machines used in the industry at highre and lower speeds. The condition of the bearing changes throughout use, so do the vibrations, and their characteristics vary depending on the reason. As a result, the bearing's unique property makes it suited for vibration monitoring and other procedures. The vibration measurement approach may reliably anticipate the upcoming failure and life of a mechanism or component based on changes in vibration signals.

A Comprehensive study on Satellite Image Super-resolution using Diffusion and GAN based model
Object detection and feature extraction from satellite images is a crucial step while using satellite images for purposes like navigation, urban planning, weather monitoring, etc. While deep learning approaches are too common for object detection task, but when the satellite images are of low quality, the small objects are missed by detection model due to their size and visibility issue. In this paper we propose a study of two broad areas of Generative AI models namely GANs and Diffusion model and their ability to handle the low-resolution images to improve overall detection problem. We train SRGAN and Diffusion based super-resolution model on custom real-time datasets and present a comprehensive performance evaluation and analysis. We found that Diffusion model increased the object detection rate by almost 130% when compared with Raw image object detection
High Performance Approximate Multiplier using reversible logic gates
Reversible logic has previously been shown to cause higher power consumption and a significant amount of dissipated energy because of information loss in standard design methods. This project describes the approximate multiplier using Reversible logic gates. In this design, the reversible logic gates replace the half adder and full adders in the multiplier. It uses two RG(Reversible Gate) in place of single reversible gate. So that it reduces the garbage value produced, which helps to decrease the overall delay and power consumption. The proposed Approximate Multiplier uses the product’s least significant half as a constant compensation term and the remaining half is precisely calculated. This can be a effective alternative for exact multipliers in practical error-resilient applications and Digital Image Processing
