Heart-Net: AMulti-Modal Deep Learning Approach for Diagnosing Cardiovascular Diseases

Heart disease remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide,highlighting the need for improved diagnostic methods.Traditional diagnostics face limitations such as reliance on single-modality data and vulnerability to apparatus faults,which can reduce accuracy,especially with poor-quality images.Additionally,these methods often require significant time and expertise,making them less accessible in resource-limited settings.Emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and machine learning offer promising solutions by integrating multi-modality data and enhancing diagnostic precision,ultimately improving patient outcomes and reducing healthcare costs.This study introduces Heart-Net,a multi-modal deep learning framework designed to enhance heart disease diagnosis by integrating data from Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI)and Electrocardiogram(ECG).Heart-Net uses a 3D U-Net for MRI analysis and a Temporal Convolutional Graph Neural Network(TCGN)for ECG feature extraction,combining these through an attention mechanism to emphasize relevant features.Classification is performed using Optimized TCGN.This approach improves early detection,reduces diagnostic errors,and supports personalized risk assessments and continuous health monitoring.The proposed approach results show that Heart-Net significantly outperforms traditional single-modality models,achieving accuracies of 92.56%forHeartnetDataset Ⅰ(HNET-DSⅠ),93.45%forHeartnetDataset Ⅱ(HNET-DSⅡ),and 91.89%for Heartnet Dataset Ⅲ(HNET-DSⅢ),mitigating the impact of apparatus faults and image quality issues.These findings underscore the potential of Heart-Net to revolutionize heart disease diagnostics and improve clinical outcomes.

A Low Complexity ML-Based Methods for Malware Classification

The article describes a new method for malware classification,based on a Machine Learning(ML)model architecture specifically designed for malware detection,enabling real-time and accurate malware identification.Using an innovative feature dimensionality reduction technique called the Interpolation-based Feature Dimensionality Reduction Technique(IFDRT),the authors have significantly reduced the feature space while retaining critical information necessary for malware classification.This technique optimizes the model’s performance and reduces computational requirements.The proposed method is demonstrated by applying it to the BODMAS malware dataset,which contains 57,293 malware samples and 77,142 benign samples,each with a 2381-feature vector.Through the IFDRT method,the dataset is transformed,reducing the number of features while maintaining essential data for accurate classification.The evaluation results show outstanding performance,with an F1 score of 0.984 and a high accuracy of 98.5%using only two reduced features.This demonstrates the method’s ability to classify malware samples accurately while minimizing processing time.The method allows for improving computational efficiency by reducing the feature space,which decreases the memory and time requirements for training and prediction.The new method’s effectiveness is confirmed by the calculations,which indicate significant improvements in malware classification accuracy and efficiency.The research results enhance existing malware detection techniques and can be applied in various cybersecurity applications,including real-timemalware detection on resource-constrained devices.Novelty and scientific contribution lie in the development of the IFDRT method,which provides a robust and efficient solution for feature reduction in ML-based malware classification,paving the way for more effective and scalable cybersecurity measures.
