COVID-19 has affected all peoples' lives. Though COVID-19 is on the rising, the existence of misinformation about the virus also grows in parallel. Additionally, the spread of misinformation has created confusion among people, caused disturbances in society, and even led to deaths. Social media is central to our daily lives. The Internet has become a significant source of knowledge. Owing to the widespread damage caused by fake news, it is important to build computerized systems to detect fake news. The paper proposes an updated deep neural network for identification of false news. The deep learning techniques are The Modified-LSTM (one to three layers) and The Modified GRU (one to three layers).In particular, we carry out investigations of a large dataset of tweets passing on data with respect to COVID-19. In our study, we separate the dubious claims into two categories: true and false. We compare the performance of the various algorithms in terms of prediction accuracy. The six machine learning techniques are decision trees, logistic regression, k nearest neighbors, random forests, support vector machines, and naïve Bayes (NB). The parameters of deep learning techniques are optimized using Keras-tuner. Four Benchmark datasets were used. Two feature extraction methods were used (TF-ID with N-gram) to extract essential features from the four benchmark datasets for the baseline machine learning model and word embedding feature extraction method for the proposed deep neural network methods. The results obtained with the proposed framework reveal high accuracy in detecting Fake and non-Fake tweets containing COVID-19 information. These results demonstrate significant improvement as compared to the existing state of art results of baseline machine learning models. In our approach, we classify the data into two categories: fake or nonfake. We compare the execution of the proposed approaches with Six machine learning procedures. The six machine learning procedures are Decision Tree (DT), Logistic Regression (LR), K Nearest Neighbor (KNN), Random Forest (RF), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Naive Bayes (NB).

Feature Selection (F.S.) reduces the number of features by removing unnecessary, redundant, and noisy information while keeping a relatively decent classification accuracy. F.S. can be considered an optimization problem. As the problem is challenging and there are many local solutions, stochastic optimization algorithms may be beneficial .This paper proposes a novel approach to dimension reduction in feature selection. As a seminal attempt, this work uses binary variants of the recent Marine Predators Algorithm (MPA) to select the optimal feature subset to improve classification accuracy. MPA is a new and novel nature-inspired metaheuristic. This research proposes an algorithm that is a hybridization between MPA and k-Nearest Neighbors (k-NN) called MPA-KNN. k-Nearest Neighbors (k-NN) is used to evaluate the selected features on medical datasets with feature sizes ranging from tiny to massive. The proposed methods are evaluated on 18 well-known UCI medical dataset benchmarks and compared with eight well-regarded metaheuristic wrapper-based approaches. The core exploratory and exploitative processes are adapted in MPA to select the optimal and meaningful features for achieving the most accurate classification. The results show that the proposed MPA-KNN approach had a remarkable capability to select the optimal and significant features. It performed better than the well-established metaheuristic algorithms we tested. The algorithms we used for comparison are Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO), MothFlame Optimization Algorithm (MFO), Sine Cosine Algorithm (SCA), Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA), Slap Swarm Algorithm (SSA), Butterfly Optimization Algorithm (BFO), and Harris Hawks Optimization (HHO). This paper is the first work that implements MPA for Feature Selection problems. The results ensure that the proposed MPA-KNN approach has a remarkable capability to select the optimal and significant features and performed better than several metaheuristic algorithms. MPA-KNN achieves the best averages accuracy, Sensitivity, and Specificity rates of all datasets.
Smart coaching in martial arts is one of the recent research areas in Human Motion Analysis. Numerous moves are performed incorrectly during the performance. In this paper we offer a system that will record the Players’ movements using IR (Infrared) camera sensor, store the data in a database, pre-process the data, classify the data using F-DTW (Fast Dynamic Time Warping) and then show the users an accurate report that contains every movement the player had done, their mistakes and how to improve their performance the next time. This approach focuses on the first seven movements of Karate Kata 1 (Hein Shodan). The system has reached an accuracy of 91.07% in classifying the moves and one common mistake for each move.
