Lung cancer is among the most hazardous types of cancer in humans. The correct diagnosis of pathogenic lung disease is critical for medication. Traditionally, determining the pathological form of lung cancer involves an expensive and time-consuming process investigation. Lung cancer is a leading cause of mortality worldwide, with lung tissue nodules being the most prevalent way for doctors to identify it. The proposed model is based on robust deep-learning-based lung cancer detection and recognition. This study uses a deep neural network as an extraction of features approach in a computer-aided diagnosing (CAD) system to assist in detecting lung illnesses at high definition. The proposed model is categorized into three phases: first, data augmentation is performed, classification is then performed using the pretrained CNN model, and lastly, localization is completed. The amount of obtained data in medical image assessment is occasionally inadequate to train the learning network. We train the classifier using a technique known as transfer learning (TL) to solve the issue introduced into the process. The proposed methodology offers a non-invasive diagnostic tool for use in the clinical assessment that is effective. The proposed model has a lower number of parameters that are much smaller compared to the state-of-the-art models. We also examined the desired dataset’s robustness depending on its size. The standard performance metrics are used to assess the effectiveness of the proposed architecture. In this dataset, all TL techniques perform well, and VGG 16, VGG 19, and Xception for 20 epoch structure are compared. Preprocessing functions as a wonderful bridge to build a dependable model and eventually helps to forecast future scenarios by including the interface at a faster phase for any model. At the 20th epoch, the accuracy of VGG 16, VGG 19, and Xception is 98.83 percent, 98.05 percent, and 97.4 percent.

Cancer is a complicated global health concern with a significant fatality rate. Breast cancer is among the leading causes of mortality each year. Advancements in prognoses have been progressively based primarily on the expression of genes, offering insight into robust and appropriate healthcare decisions, owing to the fast growth of advanced throughput sequencing techniques and the use of various deep learning approaches that have arisen in the past few years. Diagnostic-imaging disease indicators such as breast density and tissue texture are widely used by physicians and automated technology. The effective and specific identification of cancer risk presence can be used to inform tailored screening and preventive decisions. For several classifications and prediction applications, such as breast imaging, deep learning has increasingly emerged as an effective method. We present a deep learning model approach for predicting breast cancer risk primarily on this foundation. The proposed methodology is based on transfer learning using the InceptionResNetV2 deep learning model. Our experimental work on a breast cancer dataset demonstrates high model performance, with 91% accuracy. The proposed model includes risk markers that are used to improve breast cancer risk assessment scores and presents promising results compared to existing approaches. Deep learning models include risk markers that are used to improve accuracy scores. This article depicts breast cancer risk indicators, defines the proper usage, features, and limits of each risk forecasting model, and examines the increasing role of deep learning (DL) in risk detection. The proposed model could potentially be used to automate various types of medical imaging techniques.

Outcome-based education (OBE) is a well-proven teaching strategy based upon a predefined set of expected outcomes. The components of OBE are Program Educational Objectives (PEOs), Program Outcomes (POs), and Course Outcomes (COs). These latter are assessed at the end of each course and several recommended actions can be proposed by faculty members’ to enhance the quality of courses and therefore the overall educational program. Considering a large number of courses and the faculty members’ devotion, bad actions could be recommended and therefore undesirable and inappropriate decisions may occur. In this paper, a recommender system, using different machine learning algorithms, is proposed for predicting suitable actions based on course specifications, academic records, and course learning outcomes’ assessments. We formulated the problem as a multi-label multi-class binary classification problem and the dataset was translated into different problem transformation and adaptive methods such as one-vs.-all, binary relevance, label powerset, classifier chain, and ML-KNN adaptive classifier. As a case study, the proposed recommender system is applied to the college of Computer and Information Sciences, Jouf University, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) for helping academic staff improving the quality of teaching strategies. The obtained results showed that the proposed recommender system presents more recommended actions for improving students’ learning experiences.

Social networks such as twitter have emerged as social platforms that can impart a massive knowledge base for people to share their unique ideas and perspectives on various topics and issues with friends and families. Sentiment analysis based on machine learning has been successful in discovering the opinion of the people using redundantly available data. However, recent studies have pointed out that imbalanced data can have a negative impact on the results. In this paper, we propose a framework for improved sentiment analysis through various ordered preprocessing steps with the combination of resampling of minority classes to produce greater performance. The performance of the technique can vary depending on the dataset as its initial focus is on feature selection and feature combination. Multiple machine learning algorithms are utilized for the classification of tweets into positive, negative, or neutral. Results have revealed that random minority oversampling can provide improved performance and it can tackle the issue of class imbalance.

According to medical reports and statistics, skin diseases have millions of victims worldwide. These diseases might affect the health and life of patients and increase the costs of healthcare services. Delays in diagnosing such diseases make it difficult to overcome the consequences of these types of disease. Usually, diagnosis is performed using dermoscopic images, where specialists utilize certain measures to produce the results. This approach to diagnosis faces multiple disadvantages, such as overlapping infectious and inflammatory skin diseases and high levels of visual diversity, obstructing accurate diagnosis. Therefore, this article uses medical image analysis and artificial intelligence to present an automatic diagnosis system of different skin lesion categories using dermoscopic images. The addressed diseases are actinic keratoses (solar keratoses), benign keratosis (BKL), melanocytic nevi (NV), basal cell carcinoma (BCC), dermatofibroma (DF), melanoma (MEL), and vascular skin lesions (VASC). The proposed system consists of four main steps: (i) preprocessing the input raw image data and metadata; (ii) feature extraction using six pre-trained deep learning models (i.e., VGG19, InceptionV3, ResNet50, DenseNet201, and Xception); (iii) features concatenation; and (iv) classification/diagnosis using machine learning techniques. The evaluation results showed an average accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, precision, and disc similarity coefficient (DSC) of around 99.94%, 91.48%, 98.82%, 97.01%, and 94.00%, respectively.

This study presents KidneyNet, an innovative computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system designed to identify chronic kidney diseases (CKDs), such as kidney stones, cysts, and tumors, in CT scans. KidneyNet utilizes a convolutional neural network (CNN) structure consisting of eight convolutional layers, three pooling layers, a flattening layer, and two fully connected layers. Small filters enhance computational efficiency by reducing the number of parameters and minimizing the risk of overfitting compared to larger filters. The model captures more complex and abstract features as data move through the layers. The initial layers identify basic patterns, while the deeper layers focus on more intricate representations. KidneyNet aims to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of kidney disease diagnosis. Additionally, the model incorporates the gradient-weighted class activation mapping (Grad-CAM) algorithm, which helps to pinpoint affected areas in the scans. This feature improves interpretability, allowing clinicians to identify which regions the model deemed significant for detecting abnormalities such as tumors, cysts, or stones. Through extensive testing on a CT kidney dataset, KidneyNet demonstrated impressive performance metrics, with 99.88% accuracy, 99.92% specificity, 99.76% sensitivity, 99.58% precision, and an F1 score of 99.67%, outperforming existing models. This approach alleviates the diagnostic burden on radiologists and promotes early detection, potentially saving lives. This study highlights the critical role of advanced imaging analysis in addressing kidney conditions and emphasizes KidneyNet’s capability to deliver precise and cost-effective diagnoses.
