Breast cancer is a common cause of female mortality in developing countries. Early detection and treatment are crucial for successful outcomes. Breast cancer develops from breast cells and is considered a leading cause of death in women. This disease is classified into two subtypes: invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) and ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). The advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) techniques have made it possible to develop more accurate and reliable models for diagnosing and treating this disease. From the literature, it is evident that the incorporation of MRI and convolutional neural networks (CNNs) is helpful in breast cancer detection and prevention. In addition, the detection strategies have shown promise in identifying cancerous cells. The CNN Improvements for Breast Cancer Classification (CNNI-BCC) model helps doctors spot breast cancer using a trained deep learning neural network system to categorize breast cancer subtypes. However, they require significant computing power for imaging methods and preprocessing. Therefore, in this research, we proposed an efficient deep learning model that is capable of recognizing breast cancer in computerized mammograms of varying densities. Our research relied on three distinct modules for feature selection: the removal of low-variance features, univariate feature selection, and recursive feature elimination. The craniocaudally and medial-lateral views of mammograms are incorporated. We tested it with a large dataset of 3002 merged pictures gathered from 1501 individuals who had digital mammography performed between February 2007 and May 2015. In this paper, we applied six different categorization models for the diagnosis of breast cancer, including the random forest (RF), decision tree (DT), k-nearest neighbors (KNN), logistic regression (LR), support vector classifier (SVC), and linear support vector classifier (linear SVC). The simulation results prove that our proposed model is highly efficient, as it requires less computational power and is highly accurate.

Data analytics, machine intelligence, and other cognitive algorithms have been employed in predicting various types of diseases in health care. The revolution of artificial neural networks (ANNs) in the medical discipline emerged for data‐driven applications, particularly in the healthcare domain. It ranges from diagnosis of various diseases, medical image processing, decision support system (DSS), and disease prediction. The intention of conducting the research is to ascertain the impact of parameters on diabetes data to predict whether a particular patient has a disease or not. This paper develops an improved ANN model trained using an artificial backpropagation scaled conjugate gradient neural network (ABP‐SCGNN) algorithm to predict diabetes effectively. For validating the performance of the proposed model, we conduct a large set of experiments on a Pima Indian Diabetes (PID) dataset using accuracy and mean squared error (MSE) as evaluation metrics. We use different number of neurons in the hidden layer, ranging from 5 to 50, to train the ANN models. The experimental results show that the ABP‐SCGNN model, containing 20 neurons, attains 93% accuracy on the validation set, which is higher than using the other ANNs models. This result confirms the model’s effectiveness and efficiency in predicting diabetes disease from the required data attributes.

A speech impairment limits a person’s capacity for oral and auditory communication. A great improvement in communication between the deaf and the general public would be represented by a real-time sign language detector. This work proposes a deep learning-based algorithm that can identify words from a person’s gestures and detect them. There have been many studies on this topic, but the development of static and dynamic sign language recognition models is still a challenging area of research. The difficulty is in obtaining an appropriate model that addresses the challenges of continuous signs that are independent of the signer. Different signers’ speeds, durations, and many other factors make it challenging to create a model with high accuracy and continuity. For the accurate and effective recognition of signs, this study uses two different deep learning-based approaches. We create a real-time American Sign Language detector using the skeleton model, which reliably categorizes continuous signs in sign language in most cases using a deep learning approach. In the second deep learning approach, we create a sign language detector for static signs using YOLOv6. This application is very helpful for sign language users and learners to practice sign language in real time. After training both algorithms separately for static and continuous signs, we create a single algorithm using a hybrid approach. The proposed model, consisting of LSTM with MediaPipe holistic landmarks, achieves around 92% accuracy for different continuous signs, and the YOLOv6 model achieves 96% accuracy over different static signs. Throughout this study, we determine which approach is best for sequential movement detection and for the classification of different signs according to sign language and shows remarkable accuracy in real time.

In the rapidly advancing domain of smart manufacturing, securing data integrity and preventing unauthorized access are critical challenges. This study introduces a novel approach that synergizes anomaly detection techniques with Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) to fortify the security framework of smart manufacturing systems. Our methodology employs a combination of data preprocessing, including statistical imputation and data smoothing, alongside advanced anomaly detection using classification methods and neural networks, particularly focusing on deep learning architectures. The detected anomalies undergo verification through zk-SNARKs, a specialized ZKP scheme, ensuring a robust validation process without compromising data confidentiality. Our findings reveal a notable enhancement in the accuracy of anomaly detection, achieving detection rates of approximately 95% for temperature fluctuations and 90% for pressure irregularities, with a significant reduction in false positives. This performance is markedly superior to traditional methods and aligns closely with the highest efficacy rates reported in contemporary studies. Moreover, the utilization of ZKPs for anomaly verification demonstrated a 98% success rate, ensuring the secure and private verification of anomalies. The integration of anomaly detection with ZKPs presents a significant leap forward in addressing the security vulnerabilities inherent in smart manufacturing. This study not only showcases the effectiveness of our approach in enhancing data security and integrity but also sets a benchmark for future research in creating more resilient and trustworthy industrial operations.

Breast cancer is widespread throughout the world and can be cured if diagnosed early. Mammography is an irreplaceable and critical technique in modern medicine that serves as a foundation for the detection of breast cancer. In medical imaging, the reliability of synthetic mammogram images is produced by deep convolutional generative adversarial networks (DCGAN). Human validation to assess the quality of synthetic images to examine and calculate the perceptual variations between synthetic images and their real-world counterparts is a difficult task. Thus, this research focused on improving the quality and authenticity of synthetic mammogram images. For this, we explored and identified a new research gap because radiologists consistently expressed much higher confidence levels in real mammogram images in their assessment process. This research highlights the key difference between synthetic and real mammograms by defining mean scores. The defined mean identifies a large gap, with real mammographic images receiving an average score of 0.73 and a synthetic score of 0.31. A statistical analysis was performed, which produced a T-statistic of -6.35, a p-value less than 0.001, and a 95% confidence interval ranging from -0.50 to -0.28. These results have a wide range of implications. It emphasizes the urgent need for further improvements in the generative model, improving the legitimacy and caliber of synthetic mammogram images. Our research highlights how crucial it is to incorporate synthetic images into clinical practice with caution and thought. Ethical considerations must encompass the potential consequences of relying on synthetic data in medical decision-making, along with concerns related to diagnostic accuracy and patient safety.
