Improving laryngeal cancer detection using chaotic metaheuristics integration with squeeze-and-excitation resnet model.

Laryngeal cancer (LC) represents a substantial world health problem, with diminished survival rates attributed to late-stage diagnoses. Correct treatment for LC is complex, particularly in the final stages. This kind of cancer is a complex malignancy inside the head and neck region of patients. Recently, researchers serving medical consultants to recognize LC efficiently develop different analysis methods and tools. However, these existing tools and techniques have various problems regarding performance constraints, like lesser accuracy in detecting LC at the early stages, additional computational complexity, and colossal time utilization in patient screening. Deep learning (DL) approaches have been established that are effective in the recognition of LC. Therefore, this study develops an efficient LC Detection using the Chaotic Metaheuristics Integration with the DL (LCD-CMDL) technique. The LCD-CMDL technique mainly focuses on detecting and classifying LC utilizing throat region images. In the LCD-CMDL technique, the contrast enhancement process uses the CLAHE approach. For feature extraction, the LCD-CMDL technique applies the Squeeze-and-Excitation ResNet (SE-ResNet) model to learn the complex and intrinsic features from the image preprocessing. Moreover, the hyperparameter tuning of the SE-ResNet approach is performed using a chaotic adaptive sparrow search algorithm (CSSA). Finally, the extreme learning machine (ELM) model was applied to detect and classify the LC. The performance evaluation of the LCD-CMDL approach occurs utilizing a benchmark throat region image database. The experimental values implied the superior performance of the LCD-CMDL approach over recent state-of-the-art approaches.

BACKGROUND: The significance of diagnosing illnesses associated with brain cognitive and gait freezing phase patterns has led to a recent surge in interest in the study of gait for mental disorders. A more precise and effective way to characterize and classify many common gait problems, such as foot and brain pulse disorders, can improve prognosis evaluation and treatment options for Parkinson patients. Nonetheless, the primary clinical technique for assessing gait abnormalities at the moment is visual inspection, which depends on the subjectivity of the observer and can be inaccurate. RESEARCH QUESTION: This study investigates whether it is possible to differentiate between gait brain disorder and the typical walking pattern using machine learning driven supervised learning techniques and data obtained from inertial measurement unit sensors for brain, hip and leg rehabilitation. METHOD: The proposed method makes use of the Daphnet freezing of Gait Data Set, consisted of 237 instances with 9 attributes. The method utilizes machine learning and feature reduction approaches in leg and hip gait recognition. RESULTS: From the obtained results, it is concluded that among all classifiers RF achieved highest accuracy as 98.9 % and Perceptron achieved lowest i.e. 70.4 % accuracy. While utilizing LDA as feature reduction approach, KNN, RF and NB also achieved promising accuracy and F1-score in comparison with SVM and LR classifiers. SIGNIFICANCE: In order to distinguish between the different gait disorders associated with brain tissues freezing/non-freezing and normal walking gait patterns, it is shown that the integration of different machine learning algorithms offers a viable and prospective solution. This research implies the need for an impartial approach to support clinical judgment.

A novel automated Parkinson's disease identification approach using deep learning and EEG.

The neurological ailment known as Parkinson's disease (PD) affects people throughout the globe. The neurodegenerative PD-related disorder primarily affects people in middle to late life. Motor symptoms such as tremors, muscle rigidity, and sluggish, clumsy movement are common in patients with this disorder. Genetic and environmental variables play significant roles in the development of PD. Despite much investigation, the root cause of this neurodegenerative disease is still unidentified. Clinical diagnostics rely heavily on promptly detecting such irregularities to slow or stop the progression of illnesses successfully. Because of its direct correlation with brain activity, electroencephalography (EEG) is an essential PD diagnostic technique. Electroencephalography, or EEG, data are biomarkers of brain activity changes. However, these signals are non-linear, non-stationary, and complicated, making analysis difficult. One must often resort to a lengthy human labor process to accomplish results using traditional machine-learning approaches. The breakdown, feature extraction, and classification processes are typical examples of these stages. To overcome these obstacles, we present a novel deep-learning model for the automated identification of Parkinson's disease (PD). The Gabor transform, a standard method in EEG signal processing, was used to turn the raw data from the EEG recordings into spectrograms. In this research, we propose densely linked bidirectional long short-term memory (DLBLSTM), which first represents each layer as the sum of its hidden state plus the hidden states of all layers above it, then recursively transmits that representation to all layers below it. This study's suggested deep learning model was trained using these spectrograms as input data. Using a robust sixfold cross-validation method, the proposed model showed excellent accuracy with a classification accuracy of 99.6%. The results indicate that the suggested algorithm can automatically identify PD.

The presented MROA-DLECGSC approach recognizes the presence of heart disease using ECG signals. To accomplish this, the MROA-DLECGSC technique initially preprocessed the ECG signals to transform them into a uniform format. In addition, the Stacked Autoencoder Topographic Map (SAETM) approach was utilized for the classification of ECG signals to identify the presence of CVDs. Finally, the MROA was applied as a hyperparameter optimizer, which assisted in accomplishing enhanced performance. The experimental outcomes of the MROA-DLECGSC algorithm were tested on the benchmark database, and the results show the better performance of the MROA-DLECGSC methodology compared to other recent algorithms.

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are becoming a significant technology for ubiquitous living and continue to be involved in active research because of their varied applications. Energy awareness will be a critical design problem in WSNs. Clustering is a widespread energy-efficient method and grants several benefits such as scalability, energy efficiency, less delay, and lifetime, but it results in hotspot issues. To solve this, unequal clustering (UC) has been presented. In UC, the size of the cluster differs with the distance to the base station (BS). This paper devises an improved tuna-swarm-algorithm-based unequal clustering for hotspot elimination (ITSA-UCHSE) technique in an energy-aware WSN. The ITSA-UCHSE technique intends to resolve the hotspot problem and uneven energy dissipation in the WSN. In this study, the ITSA is derived from the use of a tent chaotic map with the traditional TSA. In addition, the ITSA-UCHSE technique computes a fitness value based on energy and distance metrics. Moreover, the cluster size determination via the ITSA-UCHSE technique helps to address the hotspot issue. To demonstrate the enhanced performance of the ITSA-UCHSE approach, a series of simulation analyses were conducted. The simulation values stated that the ITSA-UCHSE algorithm has reached improved results over other models.

Cancer is a deadly disease caused by various biochemical abnormalities and genetic diseases. Colon and lung cancer have developed as two major causes of disability and death in human beings. The histopathological detection of these malignancies is a vital element in determining the optimal solution. Timely and initial diagnosis of the sickness on either front diminishes the possibility of death. Deep learning (DL) and machine learning (ML) methods are used to hasten such cancer recognition, allowing the research community to examine more patients in a much shorter period and at a less cost.

The outbreaks of Coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic have increased the pressure on healthcare and medical systems worldwide. The timely diagnosis of infected patients is a critical step to limit the spread of the COVID-19 epidemic. The chest radiography imaging has shown to be an effective screening technique in diagnosing the COVID-19 epidemic. To reduce the pressure on radiologists and control of the epidemic, fast and accurate a hybrid deep learning framework for diagnosing COVID-19 virus in chest X-ray images is developed and termed as the COVID-CheXNet system.

Computational Intelligence Based Recurrent Neural Network for Identification Deceptive Review in the E-Commerce Domain.

Most consumers depend on online reviews posted on e-commerce websites when determining whether or not to buy a service or a product. Moreover, due to the presence of fraudulent (deceptive) reviews, the fundamental problem in such reviews is not fully addressed. Thus, deceptive reviews present wrong and misguiding opinions that are harmful to consumers and e-commerce. People called fraudsters who intentionally write deceptive reviews to target and deceive potential consumers, as they target businesses that have a well-built reputation or fame for their personal promotion, create such reviews. Therefore, developing a deceptive review detection system is essential for identifying and classifying online product reviews as truthful or fake/deceptive reviews. The main objective of this research work is to analyze and identify online deceptive reviews in electronic product reviews in the Amazon and Yelp domains. For this purpose, two experiments were conducted individually. The first was executed on standard Yelp product reviews. The second was performed on Amazon product review datasets. For this dataset, we created and labeled it using a deceptiveness score calculated based on features extracted from the review text using the linguistic inquiry and word count (LIWC) tool. These features were authenticity, negative words, comparing words negation words, analytical thinking, and positive words as well as the given rating value by a user. The recurrent neural network, bidirectional long short-term memory (RNN-BLSTM) model, was used to both datasets in order to conduct the evaluation. The application of this model was contingent upon the learning of words embedding of the review text. Finally, we evaluated the RNN-BLSTM model's performance using the Yelp and Amazon datasets and compared the results. The results were 89.6% regarding testing accuracy for both datasets. From our experimental results, we observed that the LIWC feature with word embedding in the review text provided better accuracy performance compared with other existing methods.

The proposed model can be directly applied to any company with an online presence to detect customer sentiment from their reviews automatically. This research aims to present a suitable method for analyzing the users' reviews of Amazon Echo and categorizing them into positive or negative thoughts. A dataset containing reviews of 3150 users has been used in this research work. Initially, a word cloud of positive and negative reviews was plotted, which gave a lot of insight from the text data. After that, a deep learning model using a multinomial naive Bayesian classifier was built and trained using 80% of the dataset. Then the remaining 20% of the dataset was used to test the model. The proposed model gives 93% accuracy. The proposed model has also been compared with four models used in the same domain, outperforming three.

Automated waste-sorting and recycling classification using artificial neural network and features fusion: a digital-enabled circular economy vision for smart cities.

Waste generation in smart cities is a critical issue, and the interim steps towards its management were not that effective. But at present, the challenge of meeting recycling requirements due to the practical difficulty involved in waste sorting decelerates smart city CE vision. In this paper, a digital model that automatically sorts the generated waste and classifies the type of waste as per the recycling requirements based on an artificial neural network (ANN) and features fusion techniques is proposed. In the proposed model, various features extracted using image processing are combined to develop a sophisticated classifier. Based on the different features, different models are built, and each model produces a single decision. Besides, the kind of class is determined using machine learning. The model is validated by extracting relevant information from the dataset containing 2400 images of possible waste types recycled across three categories. Based on the analysis, it is observed that the proposed model achieved an accuracy of 91.7%, proving its ability to sort and classify the waste as per the recycling requirements automatically. Overall, this analysis suggests that a digital-enabled CE vision could improve the waste sorting services and recycling decisions across the value chain in smart cities.

Detection of Focal and Non-Focal Electroencephalogram Signals Using Fast Walsh-Hadamard Transform and Artificial Neural Network.

The discrimination of non-focal class (NFC) and focal class (FC), is vital in localizing the epileptogenic zone (EZ) during neurosurgery. In the conventional diagnosis method, the neurologist has to visually examine the long hour electroencephalogram (EEG) signals, which consumes time and is prone to error. Hence, in this present work, automated diagnosis of FC EEG signals from NFC EEG signals is developed using the Fast Walsh-Hadamard Transform (FWHT) method, entropies, and artificial neural network (ANN). The FWHT analyzes the EEG signals in the frequency domain and decomposes it into the Hadamard coefficients. Five different nonlinear features, namely approximate entropy (ApEn), log-energy entropy (LogEn), fuzzy entropy (FuzzyEn), sample entropy (SampEn), and permutation entropy (PermEn) are extracted from the decomposed Hadamard coefficients. The extracted features detail the nonlinearity in the NFC and the FC EEG signals. The judicious entropy features are supplied to the ANN classifier, with a 10-fold cross-validation method to classify the NFC and FC classes. Two publicly available datasets such as the University of Bonn and Bern-Barcelona dataset are used to evaluate the proposed approach. A maximum sensitivity of 99.70%, the accuracy of 99.50%, and specificity of 99.30% with the 3750 pairs of NFC and FC signal are achieved using the Bern-Barcelona dataset, while the accuracy of 92.80%, the sensitivity of 91%, and specificity of 94.60% is achieved using University of Bonn dataset. Compared to the existing technique, the proposed approach attained a maximum classification performance in both the dataset.

MAFC: Multi-Agent Fog Computing Model for Healthcare Critical Tasks Management.

In healthcare applications, numerous sensors and devices produce massive amounts of data which are the focus of critical tasks. Their management at the edge of the network can be done by Fog computing implementation. However, Fog Nodes suffer from lake of resources That could limit the time needed for final outcome/analytics. Fog Nodes could perform just a small number of tasks. A difficult decision concerns which tasks will perform locally by Fog Nodes. Each node should select such tasks carefully based on the current contextual information, for example, tasks' priority, resource load, and resource availability. We suggest in this paper a Multi-Agent Fog Computing model for healthcare critical tasks management. The main role of the multi-agent system is mapping between three decision tables to optimize scheduling the critical tasks by assigning tasks with their priority, load in the network, and network resource availability. The first step is to decide whether a critical task can be processed locally; otherwise, the second step involves the sophisticated selection of the most suitable neighbor Fog Node to allocate it. If no Fog Node is capable of processing the task throughout the network, it is then sent to the Cloud facing the highest latency. We test the proposed scheme thoroughly, demonstrating its applicability and optimality at the edge of the network using iFogSim simulator and UTeM clinic data.

Water Quality Prediction Using Artificial Intelligence Algorithms.

During the last years, water quality has been threatened by various pollutants. Therefore, modeling and predicting water quality have become very important in controlling water pollution. In this work, advanced artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms are developed to predict water quality index (WQI) and water quality classification (WQC). For the WQI prediction, artificial neural network models, namely nonlinear autoregressive neural network (NARNET) and long short-term memory (LSTM) deep learning algorithm, have been developed. In addition, three machine learning algorithms, namely, support vector machine (SVM), K-nearest neighbor (K-NN), and Naive Bayes, have been used for the WQC forecasting. The used dataset has 7 significant parameters, and the developed models were evaluated based on some statistical parameters. The results revealed that the proposed models can accurately predict WQI and classify the water quality according to superior robustness. Prediction results demonstrated that the NARNET model performed slightly better than the LSTM for the prediction of the WQI values and the SVM algorithm has achieved the highest accuracy (97.01%) for the WQC prediction. Furthermore, the NARNET and LSTM models have achieved similar accuracy for the testing phase with a slight difference in the regression coefficient (RNARNET = 96.17% and RLSTM = 94.21%). This kind of promising research can contribute significantly to water management.
