ABSTRACT

The next generation of wireless communication networks will rely heavily on machine learning and deep learning. In comparison to traditional ground-based systems, the development of various communication-based applications is projected to increase coverage and spectrum efficiency. Machine learning and deep learning can be used to optimize solutions in a variety of applications, including antennas. The latter have grown popular for obtaining effective solutions due to high computational processing, clean data, and large data storage capability. In this research, machine learning and deep learning for various antenna design applications have been discussed in detail. The general concept of machine learning and deep learning is introduced. However, the main focus is on various antenna applications, such as millimeter wave, body-centric, terahertz, satellite, unmanned aerial vehicle, global positioning system, and textiles. The feasibility of antenna applications with respect to conventional methods, acceleration of the antenna design process, reduced number of simulations, and better computational feasibility features are highlighted. Overall, machine learning and deep learning provide satisfactory results for antenna design.

ABSTRACT

As the most prevalent and deadly malignancy, brain tumors have a dismal survival rate when they are at their most hazardous. Using mostly traditional medical image processing methods, segmenting and classifying brain malignant tumors is a challenging and time-consuming task. Indeed, medical research reveals that categorization performed manually with the help of a person might result in inaccurate prediction and diagnosis. This is mostly due to the fact that malignancies and normal tissues are so dissimilar and comparable. The brain, lung, liver, breast, and prostate are all studied using imaging modalities such as computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and ultrasound. This research makes significant use of CT and X-ray imaging to identify brain malignant tumors. The purpose of this article is to examine the use of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) in image-based diagnosis of brain cancers. It expedites and improves the treatment's reliability. As a result of the abundance of research on this issue, the provided model focuses on increasing accuracy via the use of a transfer learning method. This experiment was conducted using Python and Google Colab. Deep features were extracted using VGG19 and MobileNetV2, two pretrained deep CNN models. The classification accuracy is used to evaluate this work's performance. This research achieved a 97 percent accuracy rate by MobileNetV2 and a 91 percent accuracy rate by the VGG19 algorithm. This allows us to find malignancies before they have a negative effect on our bodies, like paralysis.

ABSTRACT

The environment, especially water, gets polluted due to industrialization and urbanization. Pollution due to industrialization and urbanization has harmful effects on both the environment and the lives on Earth. This polluted water can cause food poisoning, diarrhea, short-term gastrointestinal problems, respiratory diseases, skin problems, and other serious health complications. In a developing country like Bangladesh, where ready-made garments sector is one of the major sources of the total Gross Domestic Product (GDP), most of the wastes released from the garment factories are dumped into the nearest rivers or canals. Hence, the quality of the water of these bodies become very incompatible for the living beings, and so, it has become one of the major threats to the environment and human health. In addition, the amount of fish in the rivers and canals in Bangladesh is decreasing day by day as a result of water pollution. Therefore, to save fish and other water animals and the environment, we need to monitor the quality of the water and find out the reasons for the pollution. Real-time monitoring of the quality of water is vital for controlling water pollution. Most of the approaches for controlling water pollution are mainly biological and lab-based, which takes a lot of time and resources. To address this issue, we developed an Internet of Things (IoT)-based real-time water quality monitoring system, integrated with a mobile application. The proposed system in this research measures some of the most important indexes of water, including the potential of hydrogen (pH), total dissolved solids (TDS), and turbidity, and temperature of water. The proposed system results will be very helpful in saving the environment, and thus, improving the health of living creatures on Earth.

ABSTRACT

White blood cells (WBCs) are blood cells that fight infections and diseases as a part of the immune system. They are also known as "defender cells." But the imbalance in the number of WBCs in the blood can be hazardous. Leukemia is the most common blood cancer caused by an overabundance of WBCs in the immune system. Acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) usually occurs when the bone marrow creates many immature WBCs that destroy healthy cells. People of all ages, including children and adolescents, can be affected by ALL. The rapid proliferation of atypical lymphocyte cells can cause a reduction in new blood cells and increase the chances of death in patients. Therefore, early and precise cancer detection can help with better therapy and a higher survival probability in the case of leukemia. However, diagnosing ALL is time-consuming and complicated, and manual analysis is expensive, with subjective and error-prone outcomes. Thus, detecting normal and malignant cells reliably and accurately is crucial. For this reason, automatic detection using computer-aided diagnostic models can help doctors effectively detect early leukemia. The entire approach may be automated using image processing techniques, reducing physicians' workload and increasing diagnosis accuracy. The impact of deep learning (DL) on medical research has recently proven quite beneficial, offering new avenues and possibilities in the healthcare domain for diagnostic techniques. However, to make that happen soon in DL, the entire community must overcome the explainability limit. Because of the black box operation's shortcomings in artificial intelligence (AI) models' decisions, there is a lack of liability and trust in the outcomes. But explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) can solve this problem by interpreting the predictions of AI systems. This study emphasizes leukemia, specifically ALL. The proposed strategy recognizes acute lymphoblastic leukemia as an automated procedure that applies different transfer learning models to classify ALL. Hence, using local interpretable model-agnostic explanations (LIME) to assure validity and reliability, this method also explains the cause of a specific classification. The proposed method achieved 98.38% accuracy with the InceptionV3 model. Experimental results were found between different transfer learning methods, including ResNet101V2, VGG19, and InceptionResNetV2, later verified with the LIME algorithm for XAI, where the proposed method performed the best. The obtained results and their reliability demonstrate that it can be preferred in identifying ALL, which will assist medical examiners.

ABSTRACT

It can be challenging for doctors to identify eye disorders early enough using fundus pictures. Diagnosing ocular illnesses by hand is time-consuming, error-prone, and complicated. Therefore, an automated ocular disease detection system with computer-aided tools is necessary to detect various eye disorders using fundus pictures. Such a system is now possible as a consequence of deep learning algorithms that have improved image classification capabilities. A deep-learning-based approach to targeted ocular detection is presented in this study. For this study, we used state-of-the-art image classification algorithms, such as VGG-19, to classify the ODIR dataset, which contains 5000 images of eight different classes of the fundus. These classes represent different ocular diseases. However, the dataset within these classes is highly unbalanced. To resolve this issue, the work suggested converting this multiclass classification problem into a binary classification problem and taking the same number of images for both classifications. Then, the binary classifications were trained with VGG-19. The accuracy of the VGG-19 model was 98.13% for the normal (N) versus pathological myopia (M) class; the model reached an accuracy of 94.03% for normal (N) versus cataract (C), and the model provided an accuracy of 90.94% for normal (N) versus glaucoma (G). All of the other models also improve the accuracy when the data is balanced.

ABSTRACT

Breast cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed female disorders globally. Numerous studies have been conducted to predict survival markers, although the majority of these analyses were conducted using simple statistical techniques. In lieu of that, this research employed machine learning approaches to develop models for identifying and visualizing relevant prognostic indications of breast cancer survival rates. A comprehensive hospital-based breast cancer dataset was collected from the National Cancer Institute's SEER Program's November 2017 update, which offers population-based cancer statistics. The dataset included female patients diagnosed between 2006 and 2010 with infiltrating duct and lobular carcinoma breast cancer (SEER primary cites recode NOS histology codes 8522/3). The dataset included nine predictor factors and one predictor variable that were linked to the patients' survival status (alive or dead). To identify important prognostic markers associated with breast cancer survival rates, prediction models were constructed using K-nearest neighbor (K-NN), decision tree (DT), gradient boosting (GB), random forest (RF), AdaBoost, logistic regression (LR), voting classifier, and support vector machine (SVM). All methods yielded close results in terms of model accuracy and calibration measures, with the lowest achieved from logistic regression (accuracy = 80.57 percent) and the greatest acquired from the random forest (accuracy = 94.64 percent). Notably, the multiple machine learning algorithms utilized in this research achieved high accuracy, suggesting that these approaches might be used as alternative prognostic tools in breast cancer survival studies, especially in the Asian area.

ABSTRACT

Breast cancer develops when cells in the breast expand and divide uncontrollably, resulting in a lump of tissue known as a tumor. This lump of tissue is called a tumor. After skin cancer, breast cancer is the second most common cancer among women. It is more common in women over the age of 50. Men may also acquire breast cancer, albeit it is uncommon. Each year, approximately 2,600 men in the United States are diagnosed with breast cancer, accounting for less than 1% of all cases. Transgender women are more likely than cisgender men to acquire breast cancer. Additionally, transgender males are less likely than cisgender women to acquire breast cancer. Breast cancer is more common in women over the age of 50, although it can affect anyone at any age. Early detection of a breast tumor may significantly lower the risk of developing breast cancer. A public dataset of breast tumor features was used instead to build models for identifying breast tumors through machine learning and deep learning. Prediction models were built using logistic regression (LR), decision tree (DT), random forest (RF), voting classifier (VC), support vector machine (SVM), and a proprietary convolutional neural network (CNN). These models were used to find critical prognostic indicators linked to breast cancer. The proposed network performs far better, with an average accuracy of 99%. This study has six types of models: LR, RF, SVM, VC, DT, and a custom CNN model. They all had 96% to 99% accuracy in this study. CNN, LR, RF, SVM, VC, and DT achieved 99%, 96%, 98%, 97%, 97%, and 96% F1 score, respectively. There were many machine learning algorithms used in this study that were very accurate, which means that these techniques could be used as alternative prognostic tools in breast tumor detection studies in Asia.

ABSTRACT

Obstetricians often utilize cardiotocography (CTG) to assess a child's physical health throughout pregnancy because it gives data on the fetal heartbeat and uterine contractions, which helps identify whether the fetus is pathologic or not. Obstetricians have traditionally analyzed CTG data artificially, which takes time and is unreliable. As a result, creating a fetal health classification model is essential, as it may save not only time but also medical resources in the diagnosis process. Machine learning (ML) is currently extensively used in fields such as biology and medicine to address a variety of issues, due to its fast advancement. This research covers the findings and analyses of multiple machine learning models for fetal health classification. The method was developed using the open-access cardiotocography dataset. Although the dataset is modest, it contains some noteworthy values. The data was examined and used in a variety of ML models. For classification, random forest (RF), logistic regression, decision tree (DT), support vector classifier, voting classifier, and K-nearest neighbor were utilized. When the results are compared, it is discovered that the random forest model produces the best results. It achieves 97.51% accuracy, which is better than the previous method reported.

ABSTRACT

When it comes to our everyday life, emotions have a critical role to play. It goes without saying that it is critical in the context of mobile-computer interaction. In social and mobile communication, it is vital to understand the influence of emotions on the way people interact with one another and with the material they access. This study tried to investigate the relationship between the expressive state of mind and the efficacy of the human-mobile interaction while accessing a variety of different sorts of material over the course of learning. In addition, the difficulty of the feeling of many individuals is taken into account in this research. Human hardness is an important factor in determining a person's personality characteristics, and the material that they can access will alter depending on how they engage with a mobile device. It analyzes the link between the human-mobile interaction and the person's mental toughness to provide excellent suggestion material in the appropriate manner. In this study, an explicit feedback selection method is used to gather information on the emotional state of the mind of the participants. It has also been shown that the emotional state of a person's mind influences the human-mobile connection, with persons with varying levels of hardness accessing a variety of various sorts of material. It is hoped that this research will assist content producers in identifying engaging material that will encourage mobile users to promote good content by studying their personality features.

ABSTRACT

In Bangladesh, the telemedicine industry is one of the few industries able to flourish in the contemporary era of COVID-19. But to thrive, the industry must know the viewpoints of both consumers (those who are interested in availing the services of the industry) and non-consumers to overcome deficits. This should be done to maximize profits and give optimal utility to users so that the industry can be made sustainable in the long run. The main aim of this paper is to analyze the economic perception of both the telemedicine consumers and non-consumers of Bangladesh and the actions required to be taken to optimize them. A survey was developed with 18 questions divided into several parts relating to the health identity of the respondent, the respondents' use of telemedicine, the analysis of the economic behaviors of the respondents with regards to telemedicine, and the consumer perception of the merits and demerits of telemedicine. The survey results show that about one-third has used some form of telemedicine during the COVID-19 pandemic. Among the telemedicine users, 48% used hospital-mandated telemedicine services whereas 41% used mobile telemedicine applications. The survey states that 75% were satisfied with the service they received. The average payment made by the respondent population was 532 Taka, and 62% of them thought that the amount they paid was justified. In conclusion, the results of this survey can be utilized in making economically viable telemedicine models that will give optimal utility to its consumers and help forecast the next stage of the industry for betterment in the health sector.

ABSTRACT

During the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Internet of Things- (IoT-) based health monitoring systems are potentially immensely beneficial for COVID-19 patients. This study presents an IoT-based system that is a real-time health monitoring system utilizing the measured values of body temperature, pulse rate, and oxygen saturation of the patients, which are the most important measurements required for critical care. This system has a liquid crystal display (LCD) that shows the measured temperature, pulse rate, and oxygen saturation level and can be easily synchronized with a mobile application for instant access. The proposed IoT-based method uses an Arduino Uno-based system, and it was tested and verified for five human test subjects. The results obtained from the system were promising: the data acquired from the system are stored very quickly. The results obtained from the system were found to be accurate when compared to other commercially available devices. IoT-based tools may potentially be valuable during the COVID-19 pandemic for saving people's lives.

ABSTRACT

In this study, we present a low-profile dual-spectrum split-ring monopole that operates at industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) (2.45 GHz) band and ultrawideband (UWB) spectrum (3.1-10.6 GHz). We optimised the design for dual-band operations by using circular split-ring radiators. The coupling between both rings drives the structure to achieve quasi-resonance frequencies in the UWB spectrum. A small stub combines the two radiators and both behave as a single element that enables the antenna to resonate at ISM band 2.45 GHz. The antenna achieves the desired characteristics in terms of good impedance matching, radiation properties as well as other physical and practical requirements such as compact geometry, planar profile and easy fabrication. The very good agreement between the simulated and measured results show that the proposed antenna has the potential for dual-band application.

ABSTRACT

Sleep is an essential and vital element of a person's life and health that helps to refresh and recharge the mind and body of a person. The quality of sleep is very important in every person's lifestyle, removing various diseases. Bad sleep is a big problem for a lot of people for a very long time. People suffering from various diseases are dealing with various sleeping disorders, commonly known as sleep apnea. A lot of people die during sleep because of uneven body changes in the body during sleep. On that note, a system to monitor sleep is very important. Most of the previous systems to monitor sleeping problems cannot deal with the real time sleeping problem, generating data after a certain period of sleep. Real-time monitoring of sleep is the key to detecting sleep apnea. To solve this problem, an Internet of Things- (IoT-) based real-time sleep apnea monitoring system has been developed. It will allow the user to measure different indexes of sleep and will notify them through a mobile application when anything odd occurs. The system contains various sensors to measure the electrocardiogram (ECG), heart rate, pulse rate, skin response, and SpO2 of any person during the entire sleeping period. This research is very useful as it can measure the indexes of sleep without disturbing the person and can also show it in the mobile application simultaneously with the help of a Bluetooth module. The system has been developed in such a way that it can be used by every kind of person. Multiple analog sensors are used with the Arduino UNO to measure different parameters of the sleep factor. The system was examined and tested on different people's bodies. To analyze and detect sleep apnea in real-time, the system monitors several people during the sleeping period. The results are displayed on the monitor of the Arduino boards and in the mobile application. The analysis of the achieved data can detect sleep apnea in some of the people that the system monitored, and it can also display the reason why sleep apnea happens. This research also analyzes the people who are not in the danger of sleeping problems by the achieved data. This paper will help everyone learn about sleep apnea and will help people detect it and take the necessary steps to prevent it.

ABSTRACT

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, the need for a better health care facility is highlighted more than ever. Besides physical health, mental health conditions have become a significant concern. Unfortunately, there are few opportunities for people to receive mental health care. There are inadequate facilities for seeking mental health support even in big cities, let alone remote areas. This paper presents the structure and implementation procedures for a mental health support system combining technology and professionals. The system is a web platform where mental health seekers can register and use functionalities like NLP-based chatbot for personality assessment, chatting with like-minded people, and one-to-one video conferencing with a mental health professional. The video calling feature of the system has emotion detection capabilities using computer vision. The system also includes downloadable prescription facilities and a payment gateway for secure transactions. From a technological aspect, the conversational NLP-based chatbot and computer vision-powered video calling are the system's most important features. The system has a documentation facility to analyze the mental health condition over time. The web platform is built using React.js for the frontend and Express.js for the backend. MongoDB is used as the database of the platform. The NLP chatbot is built on a three-layered deep neural network model that is programmed in the Python language and uses the NLTK, TensorFlow, and Keras sequential API. Video conference is one of the most important features of the platform. To create the video calling feature, Express.js, Socket.io, and Socket.io-client have been used. The emotion detection feature is implemented on video conferences using computer vision, Haar Cascade, and TensorFlow. All the implemented features are tested and work fine. The targeted users for the platform are teenagers, youth, and the middle-aged population. Mental health-seeking is still considered taboo in some societies today. Apart from basic established facilities, this social dilemma of undergoing treatment for mental health is causing severe damage to individuals. A solution to this problem can be a remote platform for mental health support. With this goal in mind, this system is designed to provide mental health support to people remotely from anywhere worldwide.

ABSTRACT

Inside the bone marrow, plasma cells are created, and they are a type of white blood cells. They are made from B lymphocytes. Antigens are produced by plasma cells to combat bacteria and viruses and prevent inflammation and illness. Multiple myeloma is a plasma cell cancer that starts in the bone marrow and causes the formation of abnormal plasma cells. Multiple myeloma is firmly identified by examining bone marrow samples under a microscope for myeloma cells. To diagnose myeloma cells, pathologists have to be very selective. Furthermore, because the ultimate decision is based on human sight and opinion, there is a possibility of error in the result. The nobility of this research is that it provides a computer-assisted technique for recognizing and detecting myeloma cells in bone marrow smears. For recognizing purposes, we have used Mask-Recurrent Convolutional Neural Network, and for detection purposes, Efficient Net B3 has been used. There are already many studies on white blood cell cancer, but very few with both segmentation and classification. We have designed two models. One is for recognizing myeloma cells, and the other is for differentiating them from nonmyeloma cells. Also, a new data set has been made from the multiple myeloma data sets, which has been used in our classification model. This research focuses on hybrid segmentation models and increases the accuracy level of the classification model. Both of our models are trained pretty well, where the Mask-RCNN model gives a mean average precision (mAP) of 93% and the Efficient Net B3 model gives 94.68% accuracy. The result of this research indicates that the Mask-RCNN model can recognize multiple myeloma and Efficient Net B3 can distinguish between myeloma and nonmyeloma cells and beats most of the state of the art in myeloma recognition and detection.

ABSTRACT

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major burden on the healthcare system because of its increasing prevalence, high risk of progression to end-stage renal disease, and poor morbidity and mortality prognosis. It is rapidly becoming a global health crisis. Unhealthy dietary habits and insufficient water consumption are significant contributors to this disease. Without kidneys, a person can only live for 18 days on average, requiring kidney transplantation and dialysis. It is critical to have reliable techniques at predicting CKD in its early stages. Machine learning (ML) techniques are excellent in predicting CKD. The current study offers a methodology for predicting CKD status using clinical data, which incorporates data preprocessing, a technique for managing missing values, data aggregation, and feature extraction. A number of physiological variables, as well as ML techniques such as logistic regression (LR), decision tree (DT) classification, and K-nearest neighbor (KNN), were used in this work to train three distinct models for reliable prediction. The LR classification method was found to be the most accurate in this role, with an accuracy of about 97 percent in this study. The dataset that was used in the creation of the technique was the CKD dataset, which was made available to the public. Compared to prior research, the accuracy rate of the models employed in this study is considerably greater, implying that they are more trustworthy than the models used in previous studies as well. A large number of model comparisons have shown their resilience, and the scheme may be inferred from the study's results.

ABSTRACT

This paper presents the research and development of an Internet of Things- (IoT-) based remote health monitoring system for asthmatic patients. Asthma is an inflammatory disease. Asthma causes the lungs to swell and get narrower, making it difficult to carry air in and out of the lungs. This situation makes breathing very difficult. Remote patient monitoring (RPM) is a method of collecting health-related data from patients who are in a remote location and electronically transmitting it to healthcare providers for evaluation and consultation. The aim of this study is to design a monitoring system that allows doctors to monitor asthmatic patients from a remote area. The proposed system will allow patients to measure oxygen saturation (SpO2), heart rate, body temperature, humidity, volatile gases, room temperature, and electrocardiogram (ECG) using various sensors, which will be displayed in an application. This data is then sent to the doctor to monitor the patient's condition and suggest appropriate actions. Overall, the system consists of an Android application, a website, and various sensors. The Android studio and Java programming language were used to develop the application. For the frontend, the website was built using Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), JavaScript, and jQuery. The system also uses Django, a Python-based open-source web framework, for the backend. The system developed the various sensors using an ESP8266 microcontroller compatible with the Arduino Integrated Development Environment (IDE). The system uses a MAX30100 pulse oximeter and heart rate sensor, a GY-906 MLX90614 noncontact precision thermometer, a DHT11 humidity and temperature sensor, a MQ-135 gas and air quality sensor, and an AD8232 ECG sensor for collecting various parameters that may trigger asthma attacks. Finally, the system developed the Asthma Tracker app and the Asthma Tracker website for remote health monitoring. The system was initially tested on demo patients and later deployed and tested on seven real human test subjects. Overall, the monitoring system produced satisfactory results. The data acquired by the sensors has a high level of accuracy. The system also maintained user-friendliness and low cost.

ABSTRACT

This paper presents a model to predict the risk of depression based on electrocardiogram (ECG). This proposed model uses a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) autoencoder to predict normal, abnormal, and PVC heartbeats. The RNN model is a deep learning-based model to classify normal, abnormal, and PVC heartbeats. We used the model as a classifier. The model uses a heart rates dataset to predict abnormal and PVC heartbeats. As for the dataset, we have used 5000 ECG samples. The model was trained on a training dataset and validation dataset. After that, it was tested on a test dataset. The model is trained on normal heartbeat rates, so the model can predict any heartbeat rates other than normal. Our contribution here is to build a model that can differentiate between "normal," "abnormal," and "risky" heartbeats. Our model predicts "normal" heartbeats with 97.24% accuracy and can predict "PVC" heartbeats with 100% accuracy. Other than the accuracy, we evaluated our model on the training loss graphs. These two types of training loss graphs were evaluated as "normal" versus "risky" and "abnormal" versus "risky." We have seen great results there as well. The best losses for "normal," "abnormal," and "risky" are 5.71, 33.36, and 34.78. However, these results may improve if a larger dataset is used. In studies, it was found that patients suffering from depression may have a different kind of heartbeat than the normal ones. In most cases, it is PVC (Premature Ventricular Contraction) heartbeats. Therefore, the target is to predict abnormal heartbeats and PVC heartbeats.

ABSTRACT

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a devastating effect on many people, creating severe anxiety, fear, and complicated feelings or emotions. After the initiation of vaccinations against coronavirus, people's feelings have become more diverse and complex. Our aim is to understand and unravel their sentiments in this research using deep learning techniques. Social media is currently the best way to express feelings and emotions, and with the help of Twitter, one can have a better idea of what is trending and going on in people's minds. Our motivation for this research was to understand the diverse sentiments of people regarding the vaccination process. In this research, the timeline of the collected tweets was from December 21 to July21. The tweets contained information about the most common vaccines available recently from across the world. The sentiments of people regarding vaccines of all sorts were assessed using the natural language processing (NLP) tool, Valence Aware Dictionary for sEntiment Reasoner (VADER). Initializing the polarities of the obtained sentiments into three groups (positive, negative, and neutral) helped us visualize the overall scenario; our findings included 33.96% positive, 17.55% negative, and 48.49% neutral responses. In addition, we included our analysis of the timeline of the tweets in this research, as sentiments fluctuated over time. A recurrent neural network- (RNN-) oriented architecture, including long short-term memory (LSTM) and bidirectional LSTM (Bi-LSTM), was used to assess the performance of the predictive models, with LSTM achieving an accuracy of 90.59% and Bi-LSTM achieving 90.83%. Other performance metrics such as precision,, F1-score, and a confusion matrix were also used to validate our models and findings more effectively. This study improves understanding of the public's opinion on COVID-19 vaccines and supports the aim of eradicating coronavirus from the world.

ABSTRACT

One of the most common visual disorders is cataracts, which people suffer from as they get older. The creation of a cloud on the lens of our eyes is known as a cataract. Blurred vision, faded colors, and difficulty seeing in strong light are the main symptoms of this condition. These symptoms frequently result in difficulty doing a variety of tasks. As a result, preliminary cataract detection and prevention may help to minimize the rate of blindness. This paper is aimed at classifying cataract disease using convolutional neural networks based on a publicly available image dataset. In this observation, four different convolutional neural network (CNN) meta-architectures, including InceptionV3, InceptionResnetV2, Xception, and DenseNet121, were applied by using the TensorFlow object detection framework. By using InceptionResnetV2, we were able to attain the avant-garde in cataract disease detection. This model predicted cataract disease with a training loss of 1.09%, a training accuracy of 99.54%, a validation loss of 6.22%, and a validation accuracy of 98.17% on the dataset. This model also has a sensitivity of 96.55% and a specificity of 100%. In addition, the model greatly minimizes training loss while boosting accuracy.
