Carrot is a famous nutritional vegetable and developed all over the world. Different diseases of Carrot has become a massive issue in the carrot production circle which leads to a tremendous effect on the economic growth in the agricultural sector. An automatic carrot disease detection system can help to identify malicious carrots and can provide a guide to cure carrot disease in an earlier stage, resulting in a less economical loss in the carrot production system. The proposed research study has developed a web application Carrot Cure based on Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), which can identify a defective carrot and provide a proper curative solution. Images of carrots affected by cavity spot and leaf bright as well as healthy images were collected. Further, this research work has employed Convolutional Neural Network to include birth neural purposes and a Fully Convolutional Neural Network model (FCNN) for infection order. Different avenues regarding different convolutional models with colorful layers are explored and the proposed Convolutional model has achieved the perfection of 99.8%, which will be useful for the drovers to distinguish carrot illness and boost their advantage.

Flower breed detection and giving details of that breed with the suggestion of cultivation processes and the way of taking care is important for flower cultivation, breed invention, and the flower business. Among all the local flowers in Bangladesh, the rose is one of the most popular and demanded flowers. Roses are the most desirable flower not only in Bangladesh but also throughout the world. Roses can be used for many other purposes apart from decoration. As roses have a great demand in the flower business so rose breed detection will be very essential. However, there is no remarkable work for breed detection of a particular flower unlike the classification of different flowers. In this research, we have proposed a model to detect rose breeds from images using transfer learning techniques. For such work in flowers, resources are not enough in image processing and classification, so we needed a large dataset of the massive number of images to train our model. we have used 1939 raw images of five different breeds and we have generated 9306 images for the training dataset and 388 images for the testing dataset to validate the model using augmentation. We have applied four transfer learning models in this research, which are Inception V3, ResNet50, Xception, and VGG16. Among these four models, VGG16 achieved the highest accuracy of 99%, which is an excellent outcome. Breed detection of a rose by using transfer learning methods is the first work on breed detection of a particular flower that is publicly available according to the study.

Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) has undergone a profound transformation over the past decade, driven by advances in deep learning. This survey provides a comprehensive overview of the modern era of ASR, charting its evolution from traditional hybrid systems, such as Gaussian Mixture Model-Hidden Markov Models (GMM-HMMs) and Deep Neural Network-HMMs (DNN-HMMs), to the now-dominant end-to-end neural architectures. We systematically review the foundational end-to-end paradigms: Connectionist Temporal Classification (CTC), attention-based encoder-decoder models, and the Recurrent Neural Network Transducer (RNN-T), which established the groundwork for fully integrated speech-to-text systems. We then detail the subsequent architectural shift towards Transformer and Conformer models, which leverage self-attention to capture long-range dependencies with high computational efficiency. A central theme of this survey is the parallel revolution in training paradigms. We examine the progression from fully supervised learning, augmented by techniques like SpecAugment, to the rise of self-supervised learning (SSL) with foundation models such as wav2vec 2.0, which drastically reduce the reliance on transcribed data. Furthermore, we analyze the impact of largescale, weakly supervised models like Whisper, which achieve unprecedented robustness through massive data diversity. The paper also covers essential ecosystem components, including key datasets and benchmarks (e.g., LibriSpeech, Switchboard, CHiME), standard evaluation metrics (e.g., Word Error Rate), and critical considerations for real-world deployment, such as streaming inference, on-device efficiency, and the ethical imperatives of fairness and robustness. We conclude by outlining open challenges and future research directions.
