Prediction of leukemia peptides using convolutional neural network and protein compositions.

Leukemia is a type of blood cell cancer that is in the bone marrow's blood-forming cells. Two types of Leukemia are acute and chronic; acute enhances fast and chronic growth gradually which are further classified into lymphocytic and myeloid leukemias. This work evaluates a unique deep convolutional neural network (CNN) classifier that improves identification precision by carefully examining concatenated peptide patterns. The study uses leukemia protein expression for experiments supporting two different techniques including independence and applied cross-validation. In addition to CNN, multilayer perceptron (MLP), gated recurrent unit (GRU), and recurrent neural network (RNN) are applied. The experimental results show that the CNN model surpasses competitors with its outstanding predictability in independent and cross-validation testing applied on different features extracted from protein expressions such as amino acid composition (AAC) with a group of AAC (GAAC), tripeptide composition (TPC) with a group of TPC (GTPC), and dipeptide composition (DPC) for calculating its accuracies with their receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. In independence testing, a feature expression of AAC and a group of GAAC are applied using MLP and CNN modules, and ROC curves are achieved with overall 100% accuracy for the detection of protein patterns. In cross-validation testing, a feature expression on a group of AAC and GAAC patterns achieved 98.33% accuracy which is the highest for the CNN module. Furthermore, ROC curves show a 0.965% extraordinary result for the GRU module. The findings show that the CNN model is excellent at figuring out leukemia illnesses from protein expressions with higher accuracy.

Efficient deep learning-based approach for malaria detection using red blood cell smears.

Malaria is an extremely malignant disease and is caused by the bites of infected female mosquitoes. This disease is not only infectious among humans, but among animals as well. Malaria causes mild symptoms like fever, headache, sweating and vomiting, and muscle discomfort; severe symptoms include coma, seizures, and kidney failure. The timely identification of malaria parasites is a challenging and chaotic endeavor for health staff. An expert technician examines the schematic blood smears of infected red blood cells through a microscope. The conventional methods for identifying malaria are not efficient. Machine learning approaches are effective for simple classification challenges but not for complex tasks. Furthermore, machine learning involves rigorous feature engineering to train the model and detect patterns in the features. On the other hand, deep learning works well with complex tasks and automatically extracts low and high-level features from the images to detect disease. In this paper, EfficientNet, a deep learning-based approach for detecting Malaria, is proposed that uses red blood cell images. Experiments are carried out and performance comparison is made with pre-trained deep learning models. In addition, k-fold cross-validation is also used to substantiate the results of the proposed approach. Experiments show that the proposed approach is 97.57% accurate in detecting Malaria from red blood cell images and can be beneficial practically for medical healthcare staff.
