Disease diagnosis represents a critical and arduous endeavor within the medical field. Artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, spanning from machine learning and deep learning to large model paradigms, stand poised to significantly augment physicians in rendering more evidence-based decisions, thus presenting a pioneering solution for clinical practice. Traditionally, the amalgamation of diverse medical data modalities (e.g., image, text, speech, genetic data, physiological signals) is imperative to facilitate a comprehensive disease analysis, a topic of burgeoning interest among both researchers and clinicians in recent times. Hence, there exists a pressing need to synthesize the latest strides in multi-modal data and AI technologies in the realm of medical diagnosis. In this paper, we narrow our focus to five specific disorders (Alzheimer’s disease, breast cancer, depression, heart disease, epilepsy), elucidating advanced endeavors in their diagnosis and treatment through the lens of artificial intelligence. Our survey not only delineates detailed diagnostic methodologies across varying modalities but also underscores commonly utilized public datasets, the intricacies of feature engineering, prevalent classification models, and envisaged challenges for future endeavors. In essence, our research endeavors to contribute to the advancement of diagnostic methodologies, furnishing invaluable insights for clinical decision making.

This paper explores the concept of smart cities and the role of the Internet of Things (IoT) and machine learning (ML) in realizing a data-centric smart environment. Smart cities leverage technology and data to improve the quality of life for citizens and enhance the efficiency of urban services. IoT and machine learning have emerged as key technologies for enabling smart city solutions that rely on large-scale data collection, analysis, and decision-making. This paper presents an overview of smart cities’ various applications and discusses the challenges associated with implementing IoT and machine learning in urban environments. The paper also compares different case studies of successful smart city implementations utilizing IoT and machine learning technologies. The findings suggest that these technologies have the potential to transform urban environments and enable the creation of more livable, sustainable, and efficient cities. However, significant challenges remain regarding data privacy, security, and ethical considerations, which must be addressed to realize the full potential of smart cities.

Convolutional neural network (CNN) has shown dissuasive accomplishment on different areas especially Object Detection, Segmentation, Reconstruction (2D and 3D), Information Retrieval, Medical Image Registration, Multi-lingual translation, Local language Processing, Anomaly Detection on video and Speech Recognition. CNN is a special type of Neural Network, which has compelling and effective learning ability to learn features at several steps during augmentation of the data. Recently, different interesting and inspiring ideas of Deep Learning (DL) such as different activation functions, hyperparameter optimization, regularization, momentum and loss functions has improved the performance, operation and execution of CNN Different internal architecture innovation of CNN and different representational style of CNN has significantly improved the performance. This survey focuses on internal taxonomy of deep learning, different models of vonvolutional neural network, especially depth and width of models and in addition CNN components, applications and current challenges of deep learning.

Patients with breast cancer are prone to serious health-related complications with higher mortality. The primary reason might be a misinterpretation of radiologists in recognizing suspicious lesions due to technical issues in imaging qualities and heterogeneous breast densities which increases the false- (positive and negative) ratio. Early intervention is significant in establishing an up-to-date prognosis process which can successfully mitigate complications of disease with higher recovery. The manual screening of breast abnormalities through traditional machine learning schemes misinterpret the inconsistent featureextraction process which poses a problem, i.e., patients being called-back for biopsies to eliminates the suspicions. However, several deep learning-based methods have been developed for reliable breast cancer prognosis and classification but very few of them provided a comprehensive overview of lesions segmentation. This research focusses on providing benefits and risks of breast multi-imaging modalities, segmentation schemes, feature extraction, classification of breast abnormalities through state-of-the-art deep learning approaches. This research also explores various well-known databases using "Breast Cancer" keyword to present a comprehensive survey on existing diagnostic schemes to open-up new research challenges for radiologists and researchers to intervene as early as possible to develop an efficient and reliable breast cancer prognosis system using prominent deep learning schemes.

Cataract is one of the most serious eye diseases leading to blindness. Early detection and treatment can reduce the rate of blindness in cataract patients. However, the professional knowledge of ophthalmologists is necessary for the clinical cataract detection. Therefore, the potential costs may make it difficult for the widespread use of cataract detection to prevent blindness. Artificial intelligence assisted diagnosis based on medical images has attracted more and more attention of researchers. Many studies have focused on the use of pre-defined feature sets for cataract classification, but the predefined feature sets can be incomplete or redundant. On account of the above issues, some studies have proposed deep learning methods to automatically extract image features, but all based on global features and none has analyzed the layer-by-layer transformation process of the middle-tier features. This paper uses Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) to learn useful features directly from input data, and Deconvolution Network (DN) method is employed to investigate how CNN characterizes cataract layer-by-layer. We found that compared to the global feature set, the detail vascular information which is lost after multi-layer convolution calculation also plays an important role in cataract grading task. And this finding fits with the morphological definition of fundus image. Through the finding, we gained insights into the design of hybrid Global-local feature representation model to improve the recognition performance of automatic cataract grading.
