In recent advancements in agricultural technology, quantum mechanics and deep learning integration have shown promising potential to revolutionize rice yield forecasting methods. This research introduces a novel Hybrid Quantum Deep Learning model that leverages the intricate processing capabilities of quantum computing combined with the robust pattern recognition prowess of deep learning algorithms such as Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) and Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (Bi-LSTM). Bi-LSTM networks are used for temporal feature extraction and quantum circuits for quantum feature processing. Quantum circuits leverage quantum superposition and entanglement to enhance data representation by capturing intricate feature interactions. These enriched quantum features are combined with the temporal features extracted by Bi-LSTM and fed into an XGBoost regressor. By synthesizing quantum feature processing and classical machine learning techniques, our model aims to improve prediction accuracy significantly. Based on measurements of mean square error (MSE), the coefficient of determination ($R^2$), and mean average error (MAE), the results are 1.191621 × 10⁻⁵, 0.999929482, and 0.001392724, respectively. This value is so close to perfect that it helps make essential decisions in global agricultural planning and management.

This research aims to develop a robust diabetes classification method by integrating the Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique (SMOTE)-Tomek technique for data balancing and using a machine learning ensemble led by eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGB) as a meta-learner. We propose an ensemble model that combines deep learning techniques such as Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) and Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Units (BiGRU) with XGB classifier as the base learner. The data used included the Pima Indians Diabetes and Iraqi Society Diabetes datasets, which were processed by missing value handling, duplication, normalization, and the application of SMOTE-Tomek to resolve data imbalances. XGB, as a meta-learner, successfully improves the model's predictive ability by reducing bias and variance, resulting in more accurate and robust classification. The proposed ensemble model achieves perfect accuracy, precision, recall, specificity, and F1 score of 100% on all tested datasets. This method shows that combining ensemble learning techniques with a rigorous preprocessing approach can significantly improve diabetes classification performance.

This research aims to evaluate and compare the performance of several deep learning architectures, especially InceptionV3 and InceptionResNetV2, with other models, such as EfficientNetB3, ResNet50, and VGG19, in classifying rice leaf diseases. In addition, this research also evaluates the impact of using data augmentation on model performance. Three different datasets were used in this experiment, varying the number of images and class distribution. The results show that InceptionV3 and InceptionResNetV2 consistently perform excellently and accurately on most datasets. Data augmentation has varying effects, providing slight advantages on datasets with lower variation. The findings from this research are that the InceptionV3 model is the best model for classifying rice diseases based on leaf images. The InceptionV3 model produces accuracies of 99.53, 58.94, and 90.00 for datasets 1, 2, and 3, respectively. It is also necessary to be wise in carrying out data augmentation by considering the dataset's characteristics to ensure the resulting model can generalize well.

Diabetes Mellitus is a hazardous disease, and according to the World Health Organization (WHO), diabetes will be one of the main causes of death by 2030. One of the most popular diabetes datasets is PIMA Indians, and this dataset has been widely tested on various machine learning (ML) methods, even deep learning (DL). But on average, ML methods are not able to produce good accuracy. The quality of the dataset and features is the most influential thing in this case, so deeper investment is needed to examine this dataset. This research will analyze and compare the PIMA Indians and Abelvikas datasets using the Random Forest (RF) method. The two datasets are imbalanced, in fact, the Abelvikas dataset is more imbalanced and has a larger number of classes so it is be more complex. The RF was chosen because it is one of the ML methods that has the best results on various diabetes datasets. Based on the test results, very contrasting results were obtained on the two datasets. Abelvikas had accuracy, precision, and recall, reaching 100%, and PIMA Indians only achieved 75% for accuracy, 87% for precision, and 80% for the best recall. Testing was done with 3, 5, 7, 10, and 15 tree number parameters. Apart from that, it was also tested with k-fold validation to get valid results. This determines that the features in the Abelvikas dataset are much better because more complete glucose features support them.

Credit approval prediction is one of the critical challenges in the financial industry, where the accuracy and efficiency of credit decision-making can significantly affect business risk. This study proposes an outlier detection method using the Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) combined with Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) to improve prediction accuracy. GMM is used to detect outliers with a probabilistic approach, allowing for finer-grained anomaly identification compared to distance- or density-based methods. Furthermore, the data cleaned through GMM is processed using XGBoost, a decision tree-based boosting algorithm that efficiently handles complex datasets. This study compares the performance of XGBoost with various outlier detection methods, such as LOF, CBLOF, DBSCAN, IF, and K-Means, as well as various other classification algorithms based on machine learning and deep learning. Experimental results show that the combination of GMM and XGBoost provides the best performance with an accuracy of 95.493%, a recall of 91.650%, and an AUC of 95.145%, outperforming other models in the context of credit approval prediction on an imbalanced dataset. The proposed method has been proven to reduce prediction errors and improve the model's reliability in detecting eligible credit applications.

Music genre classification is one part of the music recommendation process, which is a challenging job. This research proposes the classification of music genres using Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) and Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) extraction features. This method was tested on the GTZAN and ISMIR2004 datasets, specifically on the IS-MIR2004 dataset, a duration cutting operation was carried out, which was only taken from seconds 31 to 60 so that it had the same duration as GTZAN, namely 30 seconds. Preprocessing operations by removing silent parts and stretching are also performed at the preprocessing stage to obtain normalized input. Based on the test results, the performance of the proposed method is able to produce accuracy on testing data of 93.10% for GTZAN and 93.69% for the ISMIR2004 dataset.
