Deep Learning-Enhanced Brain Tumor Prediction via Entropy-Coded BPSO in CIELAB Color Space

Early detection of brain tumors is critical for effective treatment planning.Identifying tumors in their nascent stages can significantly enhance the chances of patient survival.While there are various types of brain tumors,each with unique characteristics and treatment protocols,tumors are often minuscule during their initial stages,making manual diagnosis challenging,time-consuming,and potentially ambiguous.Current techniques predominantly used in hospitals involve manual detection via MRI scans,which can be costly,error-prone,and time-intensive.An automated system for detecting brain tumors could be pivotal in identifying the disease in its earliest phases.This research applies several data augmentation techniques to enhance the dataset for diagnosis,including rotations of 90 and 180 degrees and inverting along vertical and horizontal axes.The CIELAB color space is employed for tumor image selection and ROI determination.Several deep learning models,such as DarkNet-53 and AlexNet,are applied to extract features from the fully connected layers,following the feature selection using entropy-coded Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO).The selected features are further processed through multiple SVM kernels for classification.This study furthers medical imaging with its automated approach to brain tumor detection,significantly minimizing the time and cost of a manual diagnosis.Our method heightens the possibilities of an earlier tumor identification,creating an avenue for more successful treatment planning and better overall patient outcomes.

Intelligent Machine Learning with Metaheuristics Based Sentiment Analysis and Classification

Sentiment Analysis(SA)is one of the subfields in Natural Language Processing(NLP)which focuses on identification and extraction of opinions that exist in the text provided across reviews,social media,blogs,news,and so on.SA has the ability to handle the drastically-increasing unstructured text by transform-ing them into structured data with the help of NLP and open source tools.The current research work designs a novel Modified Red Deer Algorithm(MRDA)Extreme Learning Machine Sparse Autoencoder(ELMSAE)model for SA and classification.The proposed MRDA-ELMSAE technique initially performs pre-processing to transform the data into a compatible format.Moreover,TF-IDF vec-torizer is employed in the extraction of features while ELMSAE model is applied in the classification of sentiments.Furthermore,optimal parameter tuning is done for ELMSAE model using MRDA technique.A wide range of simulation analyses was carried out and results from comparative analysis establish the enhanced effi-ciency of MRDA-ELMSAE technique against other recent techniques.

DeepCNN:Spectro-temporal feature representation for speech emotion recognition

Speech emotion recognition(SER)is an important research problem in human-computer interaction systems.The representation and extraction of features are significant challenges in SER systems.Despite the promising results of recent studies,they generally do not leverage progressive fusion techniques for effective feature representation and increasing receptive fields.To mitigate this problem,this article proposes DeepCNN,which is a fusion of spectral and temporal features of emotional speech by parallelising convolutional neural networks(CNNs)and a convolution layer-based transformer.Two parallel CNNs are applied to extract the spectral features(2D-CNN)and temporal features(1D-CNN)representations.A 2D-convolution layer-based transformer module extracts spectro-temporal features and concatenates them with features from parallel CNNs.The learnt low-level concatenated features are then applied to a deep framework of convolutional blocks,which retrieves high-level feature representation and subsequently categorises the emotional states using an attention gated recurrent unit and classification layer.This fusion technique results in a deeper hierarchical feature representation at a lower computational cost while simultaneously expanding the filter depth and reducing the feature map.The Berlin Database of Emotional Speech(EMO-BD)and Interactive Emotional Dyadic Motion Capture(IEMOCAP)datasets are used in experiments to recognise distinct speech emotions.With efficient spectral and temporal feature representation,the proposed SER model achieves 94.2%accuracy for different emotions on the EMO-BD and 81.1%accuracy on the IEMOCAP dataset respectively.The proposed SER system,DeepCNN,outperforms the baseline SER systems in terms of emotion recognition accuracy on the EMO-BD and IEMOCAP datasets.

COVID-19 Public Sentiment Insights: A Text Mining Approach to the Gulf Countries

Social media has been the primary source of information from mainstream news agencies due to the large number of users posting their feedback.The COVID-19 outbreak did not only bring a virus with it but it also brought fear and uncertainty along with inaccurate and misinformation spread on social media platforms.This phenomenon caused a state of panic among people.Different studies were conducted to stop the spread of fake news to help people cope with the situation.In this paper,a semantic analysis of three levels(negative,neutral,and positive)is used to gauge the feelings of Gulf countries towards the pandemic and the lockdown,on basis of a Twitter dataset of 2 months,using Natural Language Processing(NLP)techniques.It has been observed that there are no mixed emotions during the pandemic as it started with a neutral reaction,then positive sentiments,and lastly,peaks of negative reactions.The results show that the feelings of the Gulf countries towards the pandemic depict approximately a 50.5%neutral,a 31.2%positive,and an 18.3%negative sentiment overall.The study can be useful for government authorities to learn the discrepancies between different populations from diverse areas to overcome the COVID-19 spread accordingly.

Predicting the Type of Crime: Intelligence Gathering and Crime Analysis

Crimes are expected to rise with an increase in population and the rising gap between society’s income levels.Crimes contribute to a significant portion of the socioeconomic loss to any society,not only through its indirect damage to the social fabric and peace but also the more direct negative impacts on the economy,social parameters,and reputation of a nation.Policing and other preventive resources are limited and have to be utilized.The conventional methods are being superseded by more modern approaches of machine learning algorithms capable of making predictions where the relationships between the features and the outcomes are complex.Making it possible for such algorithms to provide indicators of specific areas that may become criminal hot-spots.These predictions can be used by policymakers and police personals alike to make effective and informed strategies that can curtail criminal activities and contribute to the nation’s development.This paper aims to predict factors that most affected crimes in Saudi Arabia by developing a machine learning model to predict an acceptable output value.Our results show that FAMD as features selection methods showed more accuracy on machine learning classifiers than the PCA method.The naïve Bayes classifier performs better than other classifiers on both features selections methods with an accuracy of 97.53%for FAMD,and PCA equals to 97.10%.

Identification of Thoracic Diseases by Exploiting Deep Neural Networks

With the increasing demand for doctors in chest related diseases,there is a 15%performance gap every five years.If this gap is not filled with effective chest disease detection automation,the healthcare industry may face unfavorable consequences.There are only several studies that targeted X-ray images of cardiothoracic diseases.Most of the studies only targeted a single disease,which is inadequate.Although some related studies have provided an identification framework for all classes,the results are not encouraging due to a lack of data and imbalanced data issues.This research provides a significant contribution to Generative Adversarial Network(GAN)based synthetic data and four different types of deep learning-based models that provided comparable results.The models include a ResNet-152 model with image augmentation with an accuracy of 67%,a ResNet-152 model without image augmentation with an accuracy of 62%,transfer learning with Inception-V3 with an accuracy of 68%,and finally ResNet-152 model with image augmentation but targeted only six classes with an accuracy of 83%.

A Lightweight Approach for Skin Lesion Detection Through Optimal Features Fusion

Skin diseases effectively influence all parts of life.Early and accurate detection of skin cancer is necessary to avoid significant loss.The manual detection of skin diseases by dermatologists leads to misclassification due to the same intensity and color levels.Therefore,an automated system to identify these skin diseases is required.Few studies on skin disease classification using different techniques have been found.However,previous techniques failed to identify multi-class skin disease images due to their similar appearance.In the proposed study,a computer-aided framework for automatic skin disease detection is presented.In the proposed research,we collected and normalized the datasets from two databases(ISIC archive,Mendeley)based on six Basal Cell Carcinoma(BCC),Actinic Keratosis(AK),Seborrheic Keratosis(SK),Nevus(N),Squamous Cell Carcinoma(SCC),and Melanoma(M)common skin diseases.Besides,segmentation is performed using deep Convolutional Neural Networks(CNN).Furthermore,three types of features are extracted from segmented skin lesions:ABCD rule,GLCM,and in-depth features.AlexNet transfer learning is used for deep feature extraction,while a support vector machine(SVM)is used for classification.Experimental results show that SVM outperformed other studies in terms of accuracy,as AK disease achieved 100%accuracy,BCC 92.7%,M 95.1%,N 97.8%,SK 93.1%,SCC 91.4%with a global accuracy of 95.4%.
