Optimization algorithms are used to improve model accuracy. The optimization process undergoes multiple cycles until convergence. A variety of optimization strategies have been developed to overcome the obstacles involved in the learning process. Some of these strategies have been considered in this study to learn more about their complexities. It is crucial to analyse and summarise optimization techniques methodically from a machine learning standpoint since this can provide direction for future work in both machine learning and optimization. The approaches under consideration include the Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD), Stochastic Optimization Descent with Momentum, Rung Kutta, Adaptive Learning Rate, Root Mean Square Propagation, Adaptive Moment Estimation, Deep Ensembles, Feedback Alignment, Direct Feedback Alignment, Adfactor, AMSGrad, and Gravity. prove the ability of each optimizer applied to machine learning models. Firstly, tests on a skin cancer using the ISIC standard dataset for skin cancer detection were applied using three common optimizers (Adaptive Moment, SGD, and Root Mean Square Propagation) to explore the effect of the algorithms on the skin images. The optimal training results from the analysis indicate that the performance values are enhanced using the Adam optimizer, which achieved 97.30% accuracy. The second dataset is COVIDx CT images, and the results achieved are 99.07% accuracy based on the Adam optimizer. The result indicated that the utilisation of optimizers such as SGD and Adam improved the accuracy in training, testing, and validation stages.

This paper investigated the use of language models and deep learning techniques for automating disease prediction from symptoms. Specifically, we explored the use of two Medical Concept Normalization—Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (MCN-BERT) models and a Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) model, each optimized with a different hyperparameter optimization method, to predict diseases from symptom descriptions. In this paper, we utilized two distinct dataset called Dataset-1, and Dataset-2. Dataset-1 consists of 1,200 data points, with each point representing a unique combination of disease labels and symptom descriptions. While, Dataset-2 is designed to identify Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) from Twitter data, comprising 23,516 rows categorized as ADR (1) or Non-ADR (0) tweets. The results indicate that the MCN-BERT model optimized with AdamP achieved 99.58% accuracy for Dataset-1 and 96.15% accuracy for Dataset-2. The MCN-BERT model optimized with AdamW performed well with 98.33% accuracy for Dataset-1 and 95.15% for Dataset-2, while the BiLSTM model optimized with Hyperopt achieved 97.08% accuracy for Dataset-1 and 94.15% for Dataset-2. Our findings suggest that language models and deep learning techniques have promise for supporting earlier detection and more prompt treatment of diseases, as well as expanding remote diagnostic capabilities. The MCN-BERT and BiLSTM models demonstrated robust performance in accurately predicting diseases from symptoms, indicating the potential for further related research.

Retinal optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging is a valuable tool for assessing the condition of the back part of the eye. The condition has a great effect on the specificity of diagnosis, the monitoring of many physiological and pathological procedures, and the response and evaluation of therapeutic effectiveness in various fields of clinical practices, including primary eye diseases and systemic diseases such as diabetes. Therefore, precise diagnosis, classification, and automated image analysis models are crucial. In this paper, we propose an enhanced optical coherence tomography (EOCT) model to classify retinal OCT based on modified ResNet (50) and random forest algorithms, which are used in the proposed study’s training strategy to enhance performance. The Adam optimizer is applied during the training process to increase the efficiency of the ResNet (50) model compared with the common pre-trained models, such as spatial separable convolutions and visual geometry group (VGG) (16). The experimentation results show that the sensitivity, specificity, precision, negative predictive value, false discovery rate, false negative rate accuracy, and Matthew’s correlation coefficient are 0.9836, 0.9615, 0.9740, 0.9756, 0.0385, 0.0260, 0.0164, 0.9747, 0.9788, and 0.9474, respectively.

Coffee bean production can encounter challenges due to fluctuations in global coffee prices, impacting the economic stability of some countries that heavily depend on coffee production. The primary objective is to evaluate how effectively various pre-trained models can predict coffee types using advanced deep learning techniques. The selection of an optimal pre-trained model is crucial, given the growing popularity of specialty coffee and the necessity for precise classification. We conducted a comprehensive comparison of several pre-trained models, including AlexNet, LeNet, HRNet, Google Net, Mobile V2 Net, ResNet (50), VGG, Efficient, Darknet, and DenseNet, utilizing a coffee-type dataset. By leveraging transfer learning and fine-tuning, we assess the generalization capabilities of the models for the coffee classification task. Our findings emphasize the substantial impact of the pre-trained model choice on the model's performance, with certain models demonstrating higher accuracy and faster convergence than conventional alternatives. This study offers a thorough evaluation of pre-trained architectural models regarding their effectiveness in coffee classification. Through the evaluation of result metrics, including sensitivity (1.0000), specificity (0.9917), precision (0.9924), negative predictive value (1.0000), accuracy (1.0000), and F1 score (0.9962), our analysis provides nuanced insights into the intricate landscape of pre-trained models.
