Traffic sign detection and recognition is an important subset of this, having far-reaching real-world benefits. Various methods and algorithms have been proposed to achieve this in the past few years, with more novel technologies improving upon the previous works. The emergence of advanced driving assistance systems (ADAS), used for driving assistance, has led to many companies testing various systems on their novel car models for better accuracy and reliability. There is still some way to go until object recognition algorithms are deployed on these ADAS systems worldwide. One such important part of this system is traffic sign detection and recognition. This work proposes one such traffic sign recognition method. The proposed system is implemented in two processes, namely detection and recognition. The former is implemented using the You Only Look Once (YOLO) detection algorithm, which performs grid classification on the image to predict the bounded boxes. This is followed by finding the probability of a particular object’s presence in a particular grid. For the latter process, a 4-layer CNN model is deployed to classify the object into 43 separate classes. The model is trained using the German traffic sign benchmark dataset. Upon testing with other standard models such as VGGNet and ResNet-50, the proposed model was found to be more accurate. Real-time implementation of the proposed model gives a training accuracy of 99.51%, while the testing accuracy is found to be 97.13%.

The concept of reinforcement learning can be applied to stock price prediction for a specific stock, working in an agent-based system to predict higher returns based on the current environment. The agent's reward will be either profit or loss. A multi-agent system will use three types of agents: agent 1 (forecasting agent using a basic machine learning algorithm), agent 2 (judgmental agent; the background algorithms to work on it are reinforcement learning or fuzzy neural networks), and agent 3 (based on simple trading rules or neural networks). Alert Agent (AA) guarantees proficient conveying inside the schema. Signals are one of the alerts. The alert agent sends the foundation agents (Agent 1, Agent 2, and Agent 3) signals (verdict) delivered by the superior agent. Depending on these verdicts, the superior policies are understood to be presented to the users (traders). Depending on the verdict by Superior, investment risk can be minimized. The multi-agent framework verdict is combined with sentiment collected from finance news for a particular company. The cognizant behavior of agents in the stock market is also considered future research work for this framework.
