Forecasting student performance with precision in the educational space is paramount for creating tailor-made interventions capable to boost learning effectiveness. It means most of the traditional student performance prediction models have difficulty in dealing with multi-dimensional academic data, can cause sub-optimal classification and generate a simple generalized insight. To address these challenges of the existing system, in this research we propose a new model Multi-dimensional Student Performance Prediction Model (MSPP) that is inspired by advanced data preprocessing and feature engineering techniques using deep learning. We developed a method that targets the common issues associated with educational datasets over imbalanced and temporal settings which is also explainable through AI features. Moreover, through adaptive hyper-parameter tuning and advanced graph neural network layers in the MSPP model allow to make output more dense representation for predictions resulting more accurate classification. The experiments results show that MSPP outperforms the other EAI&ML, MTSDA, XAI, DGNN and DLM with high accuracy 76 %, precision score of 0.79 and macro F1-score of 0.73. The model also helps to bring down the False Positive Rate (FPR) substantially at a 0.15 level, which ensures more reliable predictions for student classification. • The model of the MSPP includes contextual information and multi-layered analysis in order to improve prediction accuracy, placing a sound basis for predicting students in different performance categories such as distinction, pass, fail or withdrawn. • Our approach is obviously to generalize and extract those sparse, heterogeneous academic data in the form of structured training record using domain specific preprocessing integrating with multi-class classification mechanisms that improves on precision-recall across multiple categories.
The current work introduces the hybrid ensemble framework for the detection and segmentation of colorectal cancer. This framework will incorporate both supervised classification and unsupervised clustering methods to present more understandable and accurate diagnostic results. The method entails several steps with CNN models: ADa-22 and AD-22, transformer networks, and an SVM classifier, all inbuilt. The CVC ClinicDB dataset supports this process, containing 1650 colonoscopy images classified as polyps or non-polyps. The best performance in the ensembles was done by the AD-22 + Transformer + SVM model, with an AUC of 0.99, a training accuracy of 99.50%, and a testing accuracy of 99.00%. This group also saw a high accuracy of 97.50% for Polyps and 99.30% for Non-Polyps, together with a recall of 97.80% for Polyps and 98.90% for Non-Polyps, hence performing very well in identifying both cancerous and healthy regions. The framework proposed here uses K-means clustering in combination with the visualisation of bounding boxes, thereby improving segmentation and yielding a silhouette score of 0.73 with the best cluster configuration. It discusses how to combine feature interpretation challenges into medical imaging for accurate localization and precise segmentation of malignant regions. A good balance between performance and generalization shall be done by hyperparameter optimization-heavy learning rates; dropout rates and overfitting shall be suppressed effectively. The hybrid schema of this work treats the deficiencies of the previous approaches, such as incorporating CNN-based effective feature extraction, Transformer networks for developing attention mechanisms, and finally the fine decision boundary of the support vector machine. Further, we refine this process via unsupervised clustering for the purpose of enhancing the visualisation of such a procedure. Such a holistic framework, hence, further boosts classification and segmentation results by generating understandable outcomes for more rigorous benchmarking of detecting colorectal cancer and with higher reality towards clinical application feasibility.
The complexity and variability of medical imaging continue to impair the feasibility of early detection of colorectal cancer, despite its critical role in improving patient outcomes. This research presents a new multistage ensemble method that combines the strengths of three advanced deep learning models: vision transformers, RDV-22 (a mix of ResNet-50, DenseNet-201, and VGG-16), and Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) networks. It improves the accuracy and robustness of Colorectal Cancer (CRC) detection. For suitable evaluation of our methodology, we adopted two benchmark datasets: CVC Clinic DB for binary classification and Kvasir dataset for multiclass classifications. To decrease the sizes of data significantly along with the generalizability of the model, we have used various data augmentation techniques, including magnification, inversion, and rotation. The best performing model was RDV-22 + BiLSTM + Vision Transformers, which recorded a 95.0% test accuracy and an area of 0.96 under the curve with the CVC Clinic DB dataset. The model showed a high performance in wide classes of samples such as esophagitis, polyps, and ulcerative colitis, with an accuracy rate of 92.5% and Area Under Curve (AUC) values 1.00 on the Kvasir dataset. We applied Local Interpretable Model-Agnostic Explanations (LIME) visualizations to both datasets, which proved to be an insightful identification of regions that the model relied on during the polyp detection process. Based on the LIME explanation, this analysis found that the visualizations generated by the Kvasir dataset were more informative and even clearer when complex cases, including ulcerative colitis and polyps are concerned. This indicates the model's ability to handle challenging medical images effectively. Because of the complexity and diversity of the datasets, these results constitute a significant improvement on the current methodology. There is expectation that the proposed ensemble method could significantly improve the dependability and precision of diagnosing colorectal cancer. More accurate diagnoses and faster diagnoses in clinical practice might improve patient outcomes and reduce death rates if this is successful. While the ensemble model presents highly improved performance, this computationally and dataset-specific performance requirement suggests further optimization and validation for larger clinical applicability.

“PolynetDWTCADx” is a sophisticated hybrid model that was developed to identify and distinguish colorectal cancer. In this study, the CKHK-22 dataset, comprising 24 classes, served as the introduction. The proposed method, which combines CNNs, DWTs, and SVMs, enhances the accuracy of feature extraction and classification. The study employs DWT to optimize and enhance two integrated CNN models before classifying them with SVM following a systematic procedure. PolynetDWTCADx was the most effective model that we evaluated. It was capable of attaining a moderate level of recall, as well as an area under the curve (AUC) and accuracy during testing. The testing accuracy was 92.3%, and the training accuracy was 95.0%. This demonstrates that the model is capable of distinguishing between noncancerous and cancerous lesions in the colon. We can also employ the semantic segmentation algorithms of the U-Net architecture to accurately identify and segment cancerous colorectal regions. We assessed the model’s exceptional success in segmenting and providing precise delineation of malignant tissues using its maximal IoU value of 0.93, based on intersection over union (IoU) scores. When these techniques are added to PolynetDWTCADx, they give doctors detailed visual information that is needed for diagnosis and planning treatment. These techniques are also very good at finding and separating colorectal cancer. PolynetDWTCADx has the potential to enhance the recognition and management of colorectal cancer, as this study underscores.
Colorectal cancer is associated with a high mortality rate and significant patient risk. Images obtained during a colonoscopy are used to make a diagnosis, highlighting the importance of timely diagnosis and treatment. Using techniques of deep learning could enhance the diagnostic accuracy of existing systems. Using the most advanced deep learning techniques, a brand-new EnsemDeepCADx system for accurate colorectal cancer diagnosis has been developed. The optimal accuracy is achieved by combining Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) with transfer learning via bidirectional long short-term memory (BILSTM) and support vector machines (SVM). Four pre-trained CNN models comprise the ADaDR-22, ADaR-22, and DaRD-22 ensemble CNNs: AlexNet, DarkNet-19, DenseNet-201, and ResNet-50. In each of its stages, the CADx system is thoroughly evaluated. From the CKHK-22 mixed dataset, colour, greyscale, and local binary pattern (LBP) image datasets and features are utilised. In the second stage, the returned features are compared to a new feature fusion dataset using three distinct CNN ensembles. Next, they incorporate ensemble CNNs with SVM-based transfer learning by comparing raw features to feature fusion datasets. In the final stage of transfer learning, BILSTM and SVM are combined with a CNN ensemble. The testing accuracy for the ensemble fusion CNN DarD-22 using BILSTM and SVM on the original, grey, LBP, and feature fusion datasets was optimal (95.96%, 88.79%, 73.54%, and 97.89%). Comparing the outputs of all four feature datasets with those of the three ensemble CNNs at each stage enables the EnsemDeepCADx system to attain its highest level of accuracy.
