Automated detection and recognition system for chewable food items using advanced deep learning models.

Identifying and recognizing the food on the basis of its eating sounds is a challenging task, as it plays an important role in avoiding allergic foods, providing dietary preferences to people who are restricted to a particular diet, showcasing its cultural significance, etc. In this research paper, the aim is to design a novel methodology that helps to identify food items by analyzing their eating sounds using various deep learning models. To achieve this objective, a system has been proposed that extracts meaningful features from food-eating sounds with the help of signal processing techniques and deep learning models for classifying them into their respective food classes. Initially, 1200 audio files for 20 food items labeled have been collected and visualized to find relationships between the sound files of different food items. Later, to extract meaningful features, various techniques such as spectrograms, spectral rolloff, spectral bandwidth, and mel-frequency cepstral coefficients are used for the cleaning of audio files as well as to capture the unique characteristics of different food items. In the next phase, various deep learning models like GRU, LSTM, InceptionResNetV2, and the customized CNN model have been trained to learn spectral and temporal patterns in audio signals. Besides this, the models have also been hybridized i.e. Bidirectional LSTM + GRU and RNN + Bidirectional LSTM, and RNN + Bidirectional GRU to analyze their performance for the same labeled data in order to associate particular patterns of sound with their corresponding class of food item. During evaluation, the highest accuracy, precision,F1 score, and recall have been obtained by GRU with 99.28%, Bidirectional LSTM + GRU with 97.7% as well as 97.3%, and RNN + Bidirectional LSTM with 97.45%, respectively. The results of this study demonstrate that deep learning models have the potential to precisely identify foods on the basis of their sound by computing the best outcomes.

Artificial intelligence in disease diagnosis: a systematic literature review, synthesizing framework and future research agenda.

Artificial intelligence can assist providers in a variety of patient care and intelligent health systems. Artificial intelligence techniques ranging from machine learning to deep learning are prevalent in healthcare for disease diagnosis, drug discovery, and patient risk identification. Numerous medical data sources are required to perfectly diagnose diseases using artificial intelligence techniques, such as ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, mammography, genomics, computed tomography scan, etc. Furthermore, artificial intelligence primarily enhanced the infirmary experience and sped up preparing patients to continue their rehabilitation at home. This article covers the comprehensive survey based on artificial intelligence techniques to diagnose numerous diseases such as Alzheimer, cancer, diabetes, chronic heart disease, tuberculosis, stroke and cerebrovascular, hypertension, skin, and liver disease. We conducted an extensive survey including the used medical imaging dataset and their feature extraction and classification process for predictions. Preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines are used to select the articles published up to October 2020 on the Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar, PubMed, Excerpta Medical Database, and Psychology Information for early prediction of distinct kinds of diseases using artificial intelligence-based techniques. Based on the study of different articles on disease diagnosis, the results are also compared using various quality parameters such as prediction rate, accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, the area under curve precision, recall, and F1-score.

Artificial Intelligence Techniques to Predict the Airway Disorders Illness: A Systematic Review.

Airway disease is a major healthcare issue that causes at least 3 million fatalities every year. It is also considered one of the foremost causes of death all around the globe by 2030. Numerous studies have been undertaken to demonstrate the latest advances in artificial intelligence algorithms to assist in identifying and classifying these diseases. This comprehensive review aims to summarise the state-of-the-art machine and deep learning-based systems for detecting airway disorders, envisage the trends of the recent work in this domain, and analyze the difficulties and potential future paths. This systematic literature review includes the study of one hundred fifty-five articles on airway diseases such as cystic fibrosis, emphysema, lung cancer, Mesothelioma, covid-19, pneumoconiosis, asthma, pulmonary edema, tuberculosis, pulmonary embolism as well as highlights the automated learning techniques to predict them. The study concludes with a discussion and challenges about expanding the efficiency and machine and deep learning-assisted airway disease detection applications.

Machine Learning and Deep Learning Based Time Series Prediction and Forecasting of Ten Nations' COVID-19 Pandemic.

In the paper, the authors investigated and predicted the future environmental circumstances of a COVID-19 to minimize its effects using artificial intelligence techniques. The experimental investigation of COVID-19 instances has been performed in ten countries, including India, the United States, Russia, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Italy, Turkey, Germany, and France using machine learning, deep learning, and time series models. The confirmed, deceased, and recovered datasets from January 22, 2020, to May 29, 2021, of Novel COVID-19 cases were considered from the Kaggle COVID dataset repository. The country-wise Exploratory Data Analysis visually represents the active, recovered, closed, and death cases from March 2020 to May 2021. The data are pre-processed and scaled using a MinMax scaler to extract and normalize the features to obtain an accurate prediction rate. The proposed methodology employs Random Forest Regressor, Decision Tree Regressor, K Nearest Regressor, Lasso Regression, Linear Regression, Bayesian Regression, Theilsen Regression, Kernel Ridge Regressor, RANSAC Regressor, XG Boost, Elastic Net Regressor, Facebook Prophet Model, Holt Model, Stacked Long Short-Term Memory, and Stacked Gated Recurrent Units to predict active COVID-19 confirmed, death, and recovered cases. Out of different machine learning, deep learning, and time series models, Random Forest Regressor, Facebook Prophet, and Stacked LSTM outperformed to predict the best results for COVID-19 instances with the lowest root-mean-square and highest R 2 score values.

A Systematic Review on Metaheuristic Optimization Techniques for Feature Selections in Disease Diagnosis: Open Issues and Challenges.

There is a need for some techniques to solve various problems in today's computing world. Metaheuristic algorithms are one of the techniques which are capable of providing practical solutions to such issues. Due to their efficiency, metaheuristic algorithms are now used in healthcare data to diagnose diseases practically and with better results than traditional methods. In this study, an efficient search has been performed where 173 papers from different research databases such as Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, PsycINFO, and others have been considered impactful in diagnosing the diseases using metaheuristic techniques. Ten metaheuristic techniques have been studied, which include spider monkey, shuffled frog leaping algorithm, cuckoo search algorithm, ant lion technique of optimization, lion optimization technique, moth flame technique, bat-inspired algorithm, grey wolf algorithm, whale optimization, and dragonfly technique of optimization for selecting and optimizing the features to predict heart disease, Alzheimer's disease, brain disorder, diabetes, chronic disease features, liver disease, covid-19, etc. Besides, the framework has also been shown to provide information on various phases behind the execution of metaheuristic techniques to predict diseases. The study's primary goal is to present the contribution of the researchers by demonstrating their methodology to predict diseases using the metaheuristic techniques mentioned above. Later, their work has also been compared and evaluated using accuracy, precision, F1 score, error rate, sensitivity, specificity, an area under a curve, etc., to help the researchers to choose the right field and methods for predicting the diseases in the future.
