There have been several empirical studies addressing breast cancer using machine learning and soft computing techniques. Many claim that their algorithms are faster, easier, or more accurate than others are. This study is based on genetic programming and machine learning algorithms that aim to construct a system to accurately differentiate between benign and malignant breast tumors. The aim of this study was to optimize the learning algorithm. In this context, we applied the genetic programming technique to select the best features and perfect parameter values of the machine learning classifiers. The performance of the proposed method was based on sensitivity, specificity, precision, accuracy, and the roc curves. The present study proves that genetic programming can automatically find the best model by combining feature preprocessing methods and classifier algorithms.

Liver cancer is a life-threatening illness and one of the fastest-growing cancer types in the world. Consequently, the early detection of liver cancer leads to lower mortality rates. This work aims to build a model that will help clinicians determine the type of tumor when it occurs within the liver region by analyzing images of tissue taken from a biopsy of this tumor. Working within this stage requires effort, time, and accumulated experience that must be possessed by a tissue expert to determine whether this tumor is malignant and needs treatment. Thus, a histology expert can make use of this model to obtain an initial diagnosis. This study aims to propose a deep learning model using convolutional neural networks (CNNs), which are able to transfer knowledge from pre-trained global models and decant this knowledge into a single model to help diagnose liver tumors from CT scans. Thus, we obtained a hybrid model capable of detecting CT images of a biopsy of a liver tumor. The best results that we obtained within this research reached an accuracy of 0.995, a precision value of 0.864, and a recall value of 0.979, which are higher than those obtained using other models. It is worth noting that this model was tested on a limited set of data and gave good detection results. This model can be used as an aid to support the decisions of specialists in this field and save their efforts. In addition, it saves the effort and time incurred by the treatment of this type of cancer by specialists, especially during periodic examination campaigns every year.

Parkinson’s disease directly affects the nervous system are causes a change in voice, lower efficiency in daily routine tasks, failure of organs, and death. As an estimate, nearly ten million people are suffering from Parkinson’s disease worldwide, and this number is increasing day by day. The main cause of an increase in Parkinson’s disease patients is the unavailability of reliable procedures for diagnosing Parkinson’s disease. In the literature, we observed different methods for diagnosing Parkinson’s disease such as gait movement, voice signals, and handwriting tests. The detection of Parkinson’s disease is a difficult task because the important features that can help in detecting Parkinson’s disease are unknown. Our aim in this study is to extract those essential voice features which play a vital role in detecting Parkinson’s disease and develop a reliable model which can diagnose Parkinson’s disease at its early stages. Early diagnostic systems for the detection of Parkinson’s disease are needed to diagnose Parkinson’s disease early so that it can be controlled at the initial stages, but existing models have limitations that can lead to the misdiagnosing of the disease. Our proposed model can assist practitioners in continuously monitoring the Parkinson’s disease rating scale, known as the Total Unified Parkinson’s Disease Scale, which can help practitioners in treating their patients. The proposed model can detect Parkinson’s disease with an error of 0.10 RMSE, which is lower than that of existing models. The proposed model has the capability to extract vital voice features which can help detect Parkinson’s disease in its early stages.
