Road traffic accidents remain a major public health challenge, particularly in countries with heterogeneous road conditions, mixed traffic flow, and variable driving discipline, such as Pakistan. Reliable detection of unsafe driving behaviours is a prerequisite for improving road safety, enabling advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), and supporting data driven decisions in insurance and fleet management. Most of existing datasets originate from the developed countries with limited representation of the behavioural diversity observed in emerging economies and the driver's face recording voilates the privacy preservation. We present V-SenseDrive, the first privacy-preserving multimodal driver behaviour dataset collected entirely within the Pakistani driving environment. V-SenseDrive combines smartphone based inertial and GPS sensor data with synchronized road facing video to record three target driving behaviours (normal, aggressive, and risky) on multiple types of roads, including urban arterials, secondary roads, and motorways. Data was gathered using a custom Android application designed to capture high frequency accelerometer, gyroscope, and GPS streams alongside continuous video, with all sources precisely time aligned to enable multimodal analysis. The focus of this work is on the data acquisition process, covering participant selection, driving scenarios, environmental considerations, and sensor video synchronization techniques. The dataset is structured into raw, processed, and semantic layers, ensuring adaptability for future research in driver behaviour classification, traffic safety analysis, and ADAS development. By representing real world driving in Pakistan, V-SenseDrive fills a critical gap in the global landscape of driver behaviour datasets and lays the groundwork for context aware intelligent transportation solutions.

The analysis of sales information, is a vital step in designing an effective marketing strategy. This work proposes a novel approach to analyse the shopping behaviour of customers to identify their purchase patterns. An extended version of the Multi-Cluster Overlapping k-Means Extension (MCOKE) algorithm with weighted k-Means algorithm is utilized to map customers to the garments of interest. The age & gender traits of the customer; the time spent and the expressions exhibited while selecting garments for purchase, are utilized to associate a customer or a group of customers to a garments they are interested in. Such study on the customer base of a retail business, may help in inferring the products of interest of their consumers, and enable them in developing effective business strategies, thus ensuring customer satisfaction, loyalty, increased sales and profits.

This paper presents a bonobo detection and classification pipeline built from the commonly used machine learning methods. Such application is motivated by the need to test bonobos in their enclosure using touch screen devices without human assistance. This work introduces a newly acquired dataset based on bonobo recordings generated semi-automatically. The recordings are weakly labelled and fed to a macaque detector in order to spatially detect the individual present in the video. Handcrafted features coupled with different classification algorithms and deep-learning methods using a ResNet architecture are investigated for bonobo identification. Performance is compared in terms of classification accuracy on the splits of the database using different data separation methods. We demonstrate the importance of data preparation and how a wrong data separation can lead to false good results. Finally, after a meaningful separation of the data, the best classification performance is obtained using a fine-tuned ResNet model and reaches 75% of accuracy.

I recently came across an article of a Japan store using face recognition to identify possible shoplifters. My immediate hunch was that the technique they are using is the study of body pose because a person could tell the difference if a thief is being suspicious by looking at how he behaves. So I believe we can train a neural net to do the exact same thing. But I could not figure out how to represent this information in a neural net as we need to encode the information of a time unit in order to succinctly determine that a person is suspicious. Anyone knows any similar project and mind to shed a light?
