Text Classification problem has been thoroughly studied in information retrieval problems and data mining tasks. It is beneficial in multiple tasks including medical diagnose health and care department, targeted marketing, entertainment industry, and group filtering processes. A recent innovation in both data mining and natural language processing gained the attention of researchers from all over the world to develop automated systems for text classification. NLP allows categorizing documents containing different texts. A huge amount of data is generated on social media sites through social media users. Three datasets have been used for experimental purposes including the COVID-19 fake news dataset, COVID-19 English tweet dataset, and extremist-non-extremist dataset which contain news blogs, posts, and tweets related to coronavirus and hate speech. Transfer learning approaches do not experiment on COVID-19 fake news and extremist-non-extremist datasets. Therefore, the proposed work applied transfer learning classification models on both these datasets to check the performance of transfer learning models. Models are trained and evaluated on the accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. Heat maps are also generated for every model. In the end, future directions are proposed.

A vast amount of data is generated every second for microblogs, content sharing via social media sites, and social networking. Twitter is an essential popular microblog where people voice their opinions about daily issues. Recently, analyzing these opinions is the primary concern of Sentiment analysis or opinion mining. Efficiently capturing, gathering, and analyzing sentiments have been challenging for researchers. To deal with these challenges, in this research work, we propose a highly accurate approach for SA of fake news on COVID-19. The fake news dataset contains fake news on COVID-19; we started by data preprocessing (replace the missing value, noise removal, tokenization, and stemming). We applied a semantic model with term frequency and inverse document frequency weighting for data representation. In the measuring and evaluation step, we applied eight machine-learning algorithms such as Naive Bayesian, Adaboost, -nearest neighbors, random forest, logistic regression, decision tree, neural networks, and support vector machine and four deep learning CNN, LSTM, RNN, and GRU. Afterward, based on the results, we boiled a highly efficient prediction model with python, and we trained and evaluated the classification model according to the performance measures (confusion matrix, classification rate, true positives rate...), then tested the model on a set of unclassified fake news on COVID-19, to predict the sentiment class of each fake news on COVID-19. Obtained results demonstrate a high accuracy compared to the other models. Finally, a set of recommendations is provided with future directions for this research to help researchers select an efficient sentiment analysis model on Twitter data.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the domain of computer science that focuses on the development of machines that operate like humans. In the field of AI, medical disease detection is an instantly growing domain of research. In the past years, numerous endeavours have been made for the improvements of medical disease detection, because the errors and problems in medical disease detection cause serious wrong medical treatment. Meta-heuristic techniques have been frequently utilized for the detection of medical diseases and promise better accuracy of perception and prediction of diseases in the domain of biomedical. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is a swarm-based intelligent stochastic search technique encouraged from the intrinsic manner of bee swarm during the searching of their food source. Consequently, for the versatility of numerical experimentation, PSO has been mostly applied to address the diverse kinds of optimization problems. However, the PSO techniques are frequently adopted for the detection of diseases but there is still a gap in the comparative survey. This paper presents an insight into the diagnosis of medical diseases in health care using various PSO approaches. This study presents to deliver a systematic literature review of current PSO approaches for knowledge discovery in the field of disease detection. The systematic analysis discloses the potential research areas of PSO strategies as well as the research gaps, although, the main goal is to provide the directions for future enhancement and development in this area. This paper gives a systematic survey of this conceptual model for the advanced research, which has been explored in the specified literature to date. This review comprehends the fundamental concepts, theoretical foundations, and conventional application fields. It is predicted that our study will be beneficial for the researchers to review the PSO algorithms in-depth for disease detection. Several challenges that can be undertaken to move the field forward are discussed according to the current state of the PSO strategies in health care.

Metaheuristic algorithms have been widely used to solve diverse kinds of optimization problems. For an optimization problem, population initialization plays a significant role in metaheuristic algorithms. These algorithms can influence the convergence to find an efficient optimal solution. Mainly, for recognizing the importance of diversity, several researchers have worked on the performance for the improvement of metaheuristic algorithms. Population initialization is a vital factor in metaheuristic algorithms such as PSO and DE. Instead of applying the random distribution for the initialization of the population, quasirandom sequences are more useful for the improvement the diversity and convergence factors. This study presents three new low-discrepancy sequences named WELL sequence, Knuth sequence, and Torus sequence to initialize the population in the search space. This paper also gives a comprehensive survey of the various PSO and DE initialization approaches based on the family of quasirandom sequences such as Sobol sequence, Halton sequence, and uniform random distribution. The proposed methods for PSO (TO-PSO, KN-PSO, and WE-PSO) and DE (DE-TO, DE-WE, and DE-KN) have been examined for well-known benchmark test problems and training of the artificial neural network. The finding of our techniques shows promising performance using the family of low-discrepancy sequences over uniform random numbers. For a fair comparison, the approaches using low-discrepancy sequences for PSO and DE are compared with the other family of low-discrepancy sequences and uniform random number and depict the superior results. The experimental results show that the low-discrepancy sequences-based initialization performed exceptionally better than a uniform random number. Moreover, the outcome of our work presents a foresight on how the proposed technique profoundly impacts convergence and diversity. It is anticipated that this low-discrepancy sequence comparative simulation survey would be helpful for studying the metaheuristic algorithm in detail for the researcher.

Ribonucleic acid Sequencing (RNA-Seq) analysis is particularly useful for obtaining insights into differentially expressed genes. However, it is challenging because of its high-dimensional data. Such analysis is a tool with which to find underlying patterns in data, e.g., for cancer specific biomarkers. In the past, analyses were performed on RNA-Seq data pertaining to the same cancer class as positive and negative samples, i.e., without samples of other cancer types. To perform multiple cancer type classification and to find differentially expressed genes, data for multiple cancer types need to be analyzed. Several repositories offer RNA-Seq data for various cancer types. In this paper, data from the Mendeley data repository for five cancer types are analyzed. As a first step, RNA-Seq values are converted to 2D images using normalization and zero padding. In the next step, relevant features are extracted and selected using Deep Learning (DL). In the last phase, classification is performed, and eight DL algorithms are used. Results and discussion are based on four different splitting strategies and k-fold cross validation for each DL classifier. Furthermore, a comparative analysis is performed with state of the art techniques discussed in literature. The results demonstrated that classifiers performed best at 70–30 split, and that Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) achieved the best overall results. Hence, CNN is the best DL model for classification among the eight studied DL models, and is easy to implement and simple to understand.

Particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is a population‐based intelligent stochastic search technique used to search for food with the intrinsic manner of bee swarming. PSO is widely used to solve the diverse problems of optimization. Initialization of population is a critical factor in the PSO algorithm, which considerably influences the diversity and convergence during the process of PSO. Quasirandom sequences are useful for initializing the population to improve the diversity and convergence, rather than applying the random distribution for initialization. The performance of PSO is expanded in this paper to make it appropriate for the optimization problem by introducing a new initialization technique named WELL with the help of low‐discrepancy sequence. To solve the optimization problems in large‐dimensional search spaces, the proposed solution is termed as WE‐PSO. The suggested solution has been verified on fifteen well‐known unimodal and multimodal benchmark test problems extensively used in the literature, Moreover, the performance of WE‐PSO is compared with the standard PSO and two other initialization approaches Sobol‐based PSO (SO‐PSO) and Halton‐based PSO (H‐PSO). The findings indicate that WE‐PSO is better than the standard multimodal problem‐solving techniques. The results validate the efficacy and effectiveness of our approach. In comparison, the proposed approach is used for artificial neural network (ANN) learning and contrasted to the standard backpropagation algorithm, standard PSO, H‐PSO, and SO‐PSO, respectively. The results of our technique has a higher accuracy score and outperforms traditional methods. Also, the outcome of our work presents an insight on how the proposed initialization technique has a high effect on the quality of cost function, integration, and diversity aspects.
