Diabetes is thought to be the most common illness in underdeveloped nations. Early detection and competent medical care are crucial steps in reducing the effects of diabetes. Examining the signs associated with diabetes is one of the most effective ways to identify the condition. The problem of missing data is not very well investigated in existing works. In addition, existing studies on diabetes detection lack accuracy and robustness. The available datasets frequently contain missing information for the automated detection of diabetes, which might negatively impact machine learning model performance. This work suggests an automated diabetes prediction method that achieves high accuracy and effectively manages missing variables in order to address this problem. The proposed strategy employs a stacked ensemble voting classifier model with three machine learning models. and a KNN Imputer to handle missing values. Using the KNN imputer, the suggested model performs exceptionally well, with accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score, and MCC of 98.59%, 99.26%, 99.75%, 99.45%, and 99.24%, respectively. In two scenarios one with missing values eliminated and the other with KNN imputer, the study thoroughly compared the suggested model with seven other machine learning techniques. The outcomes demonstrate the superiority of the suggested model over current state-of-the-art methods and confirm its efficacy. This work demonstrates the capability of KNN imputer and looks at the problem of missing values for diabetes detection. Medical professionals can utilize the results to improve care for diabetes patients and discover problems early.

Skin cancer is common and deadly, hence a correct diagnosis at an early age is essential. Effective therapy depends on precise classification of the several skin cancer forms, each with special traits. Because dermoscopy and other sophisticated imaging methods produce detailed lesion images, early detection has been enhanced. It’s still difficult to analyze the images to differentiate benign from malignant tumors, though. Better predictive modeling methods are needed since the diagnostic procedures used now frequently produce inaccurate and inconsistent results. In dermatology, Machine learning (ML) models are becoming essential for the automatic detection and classification of skin cancer lesions from image data. With the ensemble model, which mix several ML approaches to take use of their advantages and lessen their disadvantages, this work seeks to improve skin cancer predictions. We introduce a new method, the Max Voting method, for optimization of skin cancer classification. On the HAM10000 and ISIC 2018 datasets, we trained and assessed three distinct ML models: Random Forest (RF), Multi-layer Perceptron Neural Network (MLPN), and Support Vector Machine (SVM). Overall performance was increased by the combined predictions made with the Max Voting technique. Moreover, feature vectors that were optimally produced from image data by a Genetic Algorithm (GA) were given to the ML models. We demonstrate that the Max Voting method greatly improves predictive performance, reaching an accuracy of 94.70% and producing the best results for F1-measure, recall, and precision. The most dependable and robust approach turned out to be Max Voting, which combines the benefits of numerous pre-trained ML models to provide a new and efficient method for classifying skin cancer lesions.

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly accelerated the demand for accurate and efficient prediction models to support effective disease management, containment strategies, and informed decision-making. Predictive models capable of analyzing complex health data are essential for monitoring disease trends, evaluating risk factors, and optimizing resource allocation during the pandemic. Among various machine learning approaches, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have emerged as powerful tools due to their ability to process large volumes of high-dimensional health data, such as medical images, time-series data, and patient demographics, with impressive precision. This research seeks to systematically examine the challenges and limitations inherent in utilizing CNNs for COVID-19 health data prediction, offering a comprehensive perspective grounded in data science research. Key areas of investigation include issues related to data quality and availability, such as incomplete, noisy, and imbalanced datasets, which often hinder the training of robust models. Additionally, architectural constraints of CNNs, including their sensitivity to hyperparameter tuning and reliance on substantial computational resources, are explored as critical bottlenecks that impact scalability and efficiency. A significant focus is placed on generalization challenges, where models trained on specific datasets struggle to adapt to unseen data from diverse populations or clinical settings, limiting their applicability in real-world scenarios. The study further highlights a reported accuracy of 63%, underscoring the need for improved methodologies to enhance model performance and reliability. By addressing these challenges, this research aims to provide actionable insights and practical recommendations to optimize the use of CNNs for COVID-19 health data prediction. In particular, the study emphasizes the importance of incorporating advanced strategies such as transfer learning, data augmentation, and regularization techniques to overcome dataset limitations and enhance model robustness. The integration of multimodal approaches combining medical images with auxiliary data, such as patient demographics and laboratory results, is proposed to improve contextual understanding and diagnostic precision. Finally, the research underscores the necessity of interdisciplinary collaboration, leveraging domain expertise from data scientists, healthcare professionals, and epidemiologists to develop holistic solutions for tackling the complexities of COVID-19 prediction. By shedding light on the limitations and potential of CNNs in this domain, this study aims to guide researchers and practitioners in making informed decisions about model design, implementation, and optimization. Ultimately, it contributes to advancing AI-driven diagnostics and predictive modeling for COVID-19 and other public health crises, fostering the development of scalable and reliable tools for better healthcare outcomes.

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium. It primarily impacts the lungs but can also endanger other organs, such as the renal system, spine, and brain. When an infected individual sneezes, coughs, or speaks, the virus can spread through the air, which contributes to its high contagiousness. The goal is to enhance detection recognition with an X-ray image dataset. This paper proposed a novel approach, named the Tuberculosis Segmentation-Guided Diagnosis Model (TSSG-CNN) for Detecting Tuberculosis, using a combined semantic segmentation and adaptive convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture. The proposed approach is distinguished from most of the previously proposed approaches in that it uses the combination of a deep learning segmentation model with a follow-up classification model based on CNN layers to segment chest X-ray images more precisely as well as to improve the diagnosis of TB. It contrasts with other approaches like ILCM, which is optimized for sequential learning, and explainable AI approaches, which focus on explanations. Moreover, our model is beneficial for the simplified procedure of feature optimization from the perspectives of approach using the Mayfly Algorithm (MA). Other models, including simple CNN, Batch Normalized CNN (BN-CNN), and Dense CNN (DCNN), are also evaluated on this dataset to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. The performance of the TSSG-CNN model outperformed all the models with an impressive accuracy of 98.75% and an F1 score of 98.70%. The evaluation findings demonstrate how well the deep learning segmentation model works and the potential for further research. The results suggest that this is the most accurate strategy and highlight the potential of the TSSG-CNN Model as a useful technique for precise and early diagnosis of TB.

This research presents a novel approach to improving electric power quality using semiconductor devices by integrating Machine Learning (ML), Deep Learning (DL), and advanced control strategies. The research addresses key power quality challenges - including voltage sags, swells, harmonics, and transient disturbances - through a data-driven framework that combines traditional control techniques with adaptive learning models. A variety of algorithms, including Support Vector Machines (SVM), Random Forests, Neural Networks, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, were tested using real-time data. The results showed notable differences in performance, with deep learning models, especially LSTM, proving to be more accurate and dependable in identifying and forecasting power quality issues. In contrast, traditional ML models like SVM and Random Forest had difficulties with class imbalance, resulting in lower precision and recall. DL models, however, managed these challenges effectively, with CNN achieving a precision of 91.8% and LSTM attaining perfect accuracy (100%) and a recall of 94.5%. The study also highlighted the complications of handling imbalanced datasets, as indicated by classification warnings, emphasizing the importance of improved preprocessing and model adjustments for reliable predictions. The execution times varied significantly, with traditional control systems being faster but less capable in identifying complex patterns compared to the computationally intensive DL models. These findings highlight the promise of hybrid systems that integrate both traditional and data-driven control strategies to achieve adaptive and dependable power quality management. Both simulations and real-world experiments support the effectiveness of this hybrid method, suggesting a strong foundation for intelligent power quality solutions in future smart grid applications. The research concludes that although deep learning models offer superior accuracy and predictive power for complex power quality scenarios, practical deployment requires careful balancing of computational demands and addressing class distribution challenges.
