Convolutional neural network (CNN) has shown dissuasive accomplishment on different areas especially Object Detection, Segmentation, Reconstruction (2D and 3D), Information Retrieval, Medical Image Registration, Multi-lingual translation, Local language Processing, Anomaly Detection on video and Speech Recognition. CNN is a special type of Neural Network, which has compelling and effective learning ability to learn features at several steps during augmentation of the data. Recently, different interesting and inspiring ideas of Deep Learning (DL) such as different activation functions, hyperparameter optimization, regularization, momentum and loss functions has improved the performance, operation and execution of CNN Different internal architecture innovation of CNN and different representational style of CNN has significantly improved the performance. This survey focuses on internal taxonomy of deep learning, different models of vonvolutional neural network, especially depth and width of models and in addition CNN components, applications and current challenges of deep learning.

Deep learning is an obvious method for the detection of disease, analyzing medical images and many researchers have looked into it. However, the performance of deep learning algorithms is frequently influenced by hyperparameter selection, the question of which combination of hyperparameters are best emerges. To address this challenge, we proposed a novel algorithm for Adaptive Hyperparameter Tuning (AHT) that automates the selection of optimal hyperparameters for Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) training. All of the optimal hyperparameters for the CNN models were instantaneously selected and allocated using a novel proposed algorithm Adaptive Hyperparameter Tuning (AHT). Using AHT, enables CNN models to be highly autonomous to choose optimal hyperparameters for classifying medical images into various classifications. The CNN model (Deep-Hist) categorizes medical images into basic classes: malignant and benign, with an accuracy of 95.71%. The most dominant CNN models such as ResNet, DenseNet, and MobileNetV2 are all compared to the already proposed CNN model (Deep-Hist). Plausible classification results were obtained using large, publicly available clinical datasets such as BreakHis, BraTS, NIH-Xray and COVID-19 X-ray. Medical practitioners and clinicians can utilize the CNN model to corroborate their first malignant and benign classification assessment. The recommended Adaptive high F1 score and precision, as well as its excellent generalization and accuracy, imply that it might be used to build a pathologist’s aid tool.

Massive annotated datasets are necessary for networks of deep learning. When a topic is being researched for the first time, as in the situation of the viral epidemic, handling it with limited annotated datasets might be difficult. Additionally, the datasets are quite unbalanced in this situation, with limited findings coming from significant instances of the novel illness. We offer a technique that allows a class balancing algorithm to understand and detect lung disease signs from chest X-ray and CT images. Deep learning techniques are used to train and evaluate images, enabling the extraction of basic visual attributes. The training objects' characteristics, instances, categories, and relative data modeling are all represented probabilistically. It is possible to identify a minority category in the classification process by using an imbalance-based sample analyzer. In order to address the imbalance problem, learning samples from the minority class are examined. The Support Vector Machine (SVM) is used to categorize images in clustering. Physicians and medical professionals can use the CNN model to validate their initial assessments of malignant and benign categorization. The proposed technique for class imbalance (3-Phase Dynamic Learning (3PDL)) and parallel CNN model (Hybrid Feature Fusion (HFF)) for multiple modalities achieve a high F1 score of 96.83 and precision is 96.87, its outstanding accuracy and generalization suggest that it may be utilized to create a pathologist's help tool.

The automated assessment of tumors in medical image analysis encounters challenges due to the resemblance of colon and lung tumors to non-mitotic nuclei and their heteromorphic characteristics. An accurate assessment of tumor nuclei presence is crucial for determining tumor aggressiveness and grading. This paper proposes a new method called ColonNet, a heteromorphous convolutional neural network (CNN) with a feature grafting methodology categorically configured for analyzing mitotic nuclei in colon and lung histopathology images. The ColonNet model consists of two stages: first, identifying potential mitotic patches within the histopathological imaging areas, and second, categorizing these patches into squamous cell carcinomas, adenocarcinomas (lung), benign (lung), benign (colon), and adenocarcinomas (colon) based on the model’s guidelines. We develop and employ our deep CNNs, each capturing distinct structural, textural, and morphological properties of tumor nuclei, to construct the heteromorphous deep CNN. The execution of the proposed ColonNet model is analyzed by its comparison with state-of-the-art CNNs. The results demonstrate that our model surpasses others on the test set, achieving an impressive F1 score of 0.96, sensitivity and specificity of 0.95, and an area under the accuracy curve of 0.95. These outcomes underscore our hybrid model’s superior performance, excellent generalization, and accuracy, highlighting its potential as a valuable tool to support pathologists in diagnostic activities.

In the realm of machine vision, the convolutional neural network (CNN) is a frequently used and significant deep learning method. It is challenging to comprehend how predictions are formed since the inner workings of CNNs are sometimes seen as a black box. As a result, there has been an increase in interest among AI experts in creating AI systems that are easier to understand. Many strategies have shown promise in improving the interpretability of CNNs, including Class Activation Map (CAM), Grad-CAM, LIME, and other CAM-based approaches. These methods do, however, have certain drawbacks, such as architectural constraints or the requirement for gradient computations. We provide a simple framework termed Adaptive Learning based CAM (Adaptive-CAM) to take advantage of the connection between activation maps and network predictions. This framework includes temporarily masking particular feature maps. According to the Average Drop-Coherence-Complexity (ADCC) metrics, our method outperformed Score-CAM and another CAM-based activation map strategy in Residual Network-based models. With the exception of the VGG16 model, which witnessed a 1.94% decline in performance, the performance improvement spans from 3.78% to 7.72%. Additionally, Adaptive-CAM generates saliency maps that are on par with CAM-based methods and around 153 times superior to other CAM-based methods.
