Cancer is an incurable disease based on unregulated cell division. Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer in women worldwide, and early detection can lower death rates. Medical images can be used to find important information for locating and diagnosing breast cancer. The best information for identifying and diagnosing breast cancer comes from medical pictures. This paper reviews the history of the discipline and examines how deep learning and machine learning are applied to detect breast cancer. The classification of breast cancer, using several medical imaging modalities, is covered in this paper. Numerous medical imaging modalities’ classification systems for tumors, non-tumors, and dense masses are thoroughly explained. The differences between various medical image types are initially examined using a variety of study datasets. Following that, numerous machine learning and deep learning methods exist for diagnosing and classifying breast cancer. Finally, this review addressed the challenges of categorization and detection and the best results of different approaches.
Breast cancer remains one of the most prevalent and deadly cancers affecting women worldwide. Early detection is crucial, particularly for younger women, as traditional screening methods like mammography often struggle with accuracy in cases of dense breast tissue. Infrared thermography offers a non-invasive imaging alternative that enhances early detection by capturing subtle thermal variations indicative of breast abnormalities. This study investigates and compares the performance of various deep learning and machine learning models in analyzing thermographic data to classify breast tissue as healthy, benign, or malignant. To maximize detection accuracy, data preprocessing, feature extraction, and dimensionality reduction were implemented to isolate distinguishing characteristics across tissue types. Leveraging advanced feature extraction and visualization techniques inspired by geospatial data methodologies, we evaluated several deep learning architectures and classical classifiers using the DRM-IR and Breast Thermography Mendeley thermal datasets. Among the tested models, the ResNet152 architecture combined with a Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier delivered the highest performance, achieving 97.62% accuracy, 95.79% precision, 98.53% recall, 94.52% specificity, an F1 score of 97.16%, an area under the curve (AUC) of 99%, a latency of 0.06 s, and CPU utilization of 88.66%. These findings underscore the potential of integrating infrared thermography with advanced deep learning and machine learning approaches to significantly improve the accuracy and efficiency of breast cancer detection, supporting its role as a valuable tool for early diagnosis.

Diabetic retinopathy (DR), a progressive eye disorder, can lead to irreversible vision impairment ranging from no DR to severe DR, necessitating precise identification for early treatment. This study introduces an innovative deep learning (DL) approach, surpassing traditional methods in detecting DR stages. It evaluated two scenarios for training DL models on balanced datasets. The first employed image enhancement via contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE) and a generative adversarial network (GAN), while the second did not involve any image enhancement. Tested on the Asia pacific tele-ophthalmology society 2019 blindness detection (APTOS-2019 BD) dataset, the enhanced model (scenario 1) reached 98% accuracy and a 99% Cohen kappa score (CKS), with the non-enhanced model (scenario 2) achieving 95.4% accuracy and a 90.5% CKS. The combination of CLAHE and GAN, termed CLANG, significantly boosted the model's performance and generalizability. This advancement is pivotal for early DR detection and intervention, offering a new pathway to prevent irreversible vision loss in diabetic patients.
This study introduces SR-Text, a robust approach leveraging pre-trained models like BERT and T5 for enhanced text extraction from source codes. Addressing the limitations of traditional manual summarization, our methodology focuses on fine-tuning these models to better understand and generate contextual summaries, thus overcoming challenges such as long-term dependency and dataset quality issues. We conduct a detailed analysis of programming language syntax and semantics to develop syntax-aware text retrieval techniques, significantly boosting the accuracy and relevance of the texts extracted. The paper also explores a hybrid approach that integrates statistical machine learning with rule-based methods, enhancing the robustness and adaptability of our text extraction processes across diverse coding styles and languages. Empirical results from a meticulously curated dataset demonstrate marked improvements in performance metrics: precision increased by 15%, recall by 20%, and an F1 score enhancement of 18%. These improvements underscore the effectiveness of using advanced machine learning models in software engineering tasks. This research not only paves the way for future work in multilingual code summarization but also discusses broader implications for automated software analysis tools, proposing directions for future research to further refine and expand this methodology.
The evaluation of handwritten text documents is a significant research field in text analysis. Deep learning classifiers' effectiveness tends to decline when faced with variations in text style and the presence of strike-out text components. These strike-outs can occur at the character, word, paragraph, or page level. When these documents undergo optical character recognition (OCR) processing, they often yield inaccurate results. Data unavailability, imbalance poses a strong risk in this area. Hence usage of synthetic datasets for conducting research can solve the issue to an extent. Despite using traditional data augmentation techniques like rotation, position shifting, zooming, and shearing, the issue of imbalanced class distribution remained unchanged. In order to tackle this challenge this paper demonstrates the creation of a synthetic dataset comprising of strikethrough text using modified version of generative adversarial networks (GANs) that has an auxiliary network for text recognition. IAM and RIMES dataset are used as base for the GAN to generate synthetic images of handwritten text. A line segmentation technique is also implemented to create strike outs on random words selected from the synthetic image set thereby increasing the number of strikes. The work believes that the simulated dataset will significantly improve the quality of handwriting text recognition models.
