Breast cancer stands as a paramount public health concern worldwide, underscoring an imperative necessity within the research sphere for precision-driven and efficacious methodologies facilitating accurate detection. The existing diagnostic approaches in breast cancer often suffer from limitations in accuracy and efficiency, leading to delayed detection and subsequent challenges in personalized treatment planning. The primary focus of this research is to overcome these shortcomings by harnessing the power of advanced deep learning techniques, thereby revolutionizing the precision and reliability of breast cancer classification. This research addresses the critical need for improved breast cancer diagnostics by introducing a novel Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model integrated with an Early Stopping callback and ReduceLROnPlateau callback. By enhancing the precision and reliability of breast cancer classification, the study aims to overcome the limitations of existing diagnostic methods, ultimately leading to better patient outcomes and reduced mortality rates. The comprehensive methodology includes diverse datasets, meticulous image preprocessing, robust model training, and validation strategies, emphasizing the model's adaptability and reliability in varied clinical contexts. The findings showcase the CNN model's exceptional performance, achieving a 95.2% accuracy rate in distinguishing cancerous and non-cancerous breast tissue in the integrated dataset, thereby demonstrating its potential for enhancing clinical decision-making and fostering the development of AI-driven diagnostic solutions.
Medical imaging stands as a critical component in diagnosing various diseases, where traditional methods often rely on manual interpretation and conventional machine learning techniques. These approaches, while effective, come with inherent limitations such as subjectivity in interpretation and constraints in handling complex image features. This research paper proposes an integrated deep learning approach utilizing pre-trained models—VGG16, ResNet50, and InceptionV3—combined within a unified framework to improve diagnostic accuracy in medical imaging. The method focuses on lung cancer detection using images resized and converted to a uniform format to optimize performance and ensure consistency across datasets. Our proposed model leverages the strengths of each pre-trained network, achieving a high degree of feature extraction and robustness by freezing the early convolutional layers and fine-tuning the deeper layers. Additionally, techniques like SMOTE and Gaussian Blur are applied to address class imbalance, enhancing model training on underrepresented classes. The model’s performance was validated on the IQ-OTH/NCCD lung cancer dataset, which was collected from the Iraq-Oncology Teaching Hospital/National Center for Cancer Diseases over a period of three months in fall 2019. The proposed model achieved an accuracy of 98.18%, with precision and recall rates notably high across all classes. This improvement highlights the potential of integrated deep learning systems in medical diagnostics, providing a more accurate, reliable, and efficient means of disease detection.

As a result of technology improvements, various features have been collected for heart disease diagnosis. Large data sets have several drawbacks, including limited storage capacity and long access and processing times. For medical therapy, early diagnosis of heart problems is crucial. Disease of heart is a devastating human disease that is quickly increasing in developed and also developing countries, resulting in death. In this type of disease, the heart normally fails to provide enough blood to different body parts in order to allow them to perform their regular functions. Early, as well as, proper diagnosis of this condition is very critical for averting further damage and also to save patients’ lives. In this work, machine learning (ML) is utilized to find out whether a person has cardiac disease or not. Both the types of ensemble classifiers, namely, homogeneous as well as heterogeneous classifiers (formed by combining two separate classifiers), have been implemented in this work. The data mining preprocessing using Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE) has been employed to cope with the imbalance problem of the class as well as noise. The proposed work has two steps. SMOTE is used in the initial phase to reduce the impact of data imbalance and the second phase is classifying data using Naive Bayes (NB), decision tree (DT) algorithms, and their ensembles. The experimental results demonstrate that the AdaBoost-Random Forest classifier provides 95.47% accuracy in the early detection of heart disease.
Smart machine-machine (M2M) interactions, such as those enabled by the Internet of Things (IoT), have enabled people and machines to communicate and make decisions together. Furthermore, these systems have become increasingly important in the commercial and industrial sectors over the previous two decades. The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is a smart system comprising engineering equipment which can connect to one another to improve manufacturing operations. This task would become more complicated if the amount of energy used by the IIoT ecosystems, as well as the amount of network traffic they generate, increased dramatically. Consequently, decision-making processes during communication are essential for autonomous interaction in critical IoT infrastructure. Smart factories employ communication technology to track and gather information in real-time to enhance the output, effectiveness, and predictability while lowering the overall cost of vital operations. In this context, Industry 4.0 not only limits to addresses the issues of integrating technologies, but it also focuses on data collection, dissemination, utilization, and organization and also improves the delivery of the solution or services quicker with more sustainability. This study intends to create an NF-based communication system for IIoT platforms to leverage those benefits. The proposed model includes smart decision-making procedures to deal with communication issues. Compared with the many methods already in use, the suggested mechanism’s functional viability in the automated system is found to be optimal. Outcomes from simulations reveal that the suggested method has improved the accuracy and communication reliability of the IIoT platforms in comparison with the previous methods. Aside from these, the suggested model keeps the throughput of the local automation unit at 96.03% and the throughput of the production hall at 95.58% on average while maintaining the lowest average PLR of about 26.48% across different data rates.
Today’s world faces a serious public health problem with cancer. One type of cancer that begins in the breast and spreads to other body areas is breast cancer (BC). Breast cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers that claim the lives of women. It is also becoming clearer that most cases of breast cancer are already advanced when they are brought to the doctor’s attention by the patient. The patient may have the evident lesion removed, but the seeds have reached an advanced stage of development or the body’s ability to resist them has weakened considerably, rendering them ineffective. Although it is still much more common in more developed nations, it is also quickly spreading to less developed countries. The motivation behind this study is to use an ensemble method for the prediction of BC, as an ensemble model aims to automatically manage the strengths and weaknesses of each of its separate models, resulting in the best decision being made overall. The main objective of this paper is to predict and classify breast cancer using Adaboost ensemble techniques. The weighted entropy is computed for the target column. Taking each attribute’s weights results in the weighted entropy. Each class’s likelihood is represented by the weights. The amount of information gained increases with a decrease in entropy. Both individual and homogeneous ensemble classifiers, created by mixing Adaboost with different single classifiers, have been used in this work. In order to deal with the class imbalance issue as well as noise, the synthetic minority over-sampling technique (SMOTE) was used as part of the data mining pre-processing. The suggested approach uses a decision tree (DT) and naive Bayes (NB), with Adaboost ensemble techniques. The experimental findings shown 97.95% accuracy for prediction using the Adaboost-random forest classifier.
It is a serious global health concern that chronic kidney disease (CKD) kills millions of people each year as a result of poor lifestyle choices and inherited factors. Effective prediction tools for prior detection are essential due to the growing number of patients with this disease. By utilizing machine learning (ML) approaches, this study aids specialists in studying precautionary measures for CKD through prior detection. The main objective of this paper is to predict and classify chronic kidney disease using ML approaches on a publicly available dataset. The dataset of CKD has been taken from the publicly available and accessible dataset Irvine ML Repository, which included 400 instances. ML methods (Support Vector Machine (SVM), K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), random forest (RF), Logistic Regression (LR), and Decision Tree (DT) Classifier) are used as base learners and their performance has been compared with eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost). All ML algorithms are evaluated against different performance parameters: accuracy, recall, precision, and F1-measure. The results indicated that XGBoost outperformed with 98.00% accuracy as compared to other ML algorithms. For policymakers to forecast patterns of CKD in the population, the model put forth in this paper may be helpful. The model may enable careful monitoring of individuals who are at risk, early CKD detection, better resource allocation, and management that is patient-centered.
