Brain tumors are formed due to the abnormal growth of the cells that get multiplied and become in uncontrollable perspective. Tumors can damage brain cells by pressing down the skull, which consociate begins in, which negatively affects human health. In advanced stages, a brain tumor is a more dangerous infection that cannot be relieved. Brain tumor detection and early prevention are necessary in today's world. An extreme learning machine (ELM) is a widely adopted algorithm in machine learning. It is proposed to use classification models in brain tumor imaging. This classification is based on the techniques implemented: Convolutional Neural Networks(CNN) and Generative Adversarial Networks(GAN). CNN efficiently solves the convex optimization problem and is faster, requiring less human effort. The algorithmic architecture of GAN uses two neural networks, pocking one against the other. These networks are implemented in various fields to classify brain Tumor images.

Since capsule endoscopy offers high-resolution, non-invasive imaging of the digestive tract, it has completely changed gastrointestinal diagnostics. However, the necessity for high diagnostic prediction precision, imbalanced datasets, and the variety of medical situations make automated classification of endoscopic images a considerable issue. In order to increase the precision and resilience of capsule endoscopy image classification, we provide a Hybrid CNN-SVM model in this work that combines the deep feature extraction capabilities of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) with the higher classification margins of Support Vector Machines (SVMs). To ensure realistic variability free of structural distortions, the model uses MedAug-Net, a region-aware augmentation technique, to selectively improve non-ROI areas while retaining important diagnostic features. Furthermore, a Global Average Pooling (GAP) layer and depth wise separable convolutions are employed to improve computational efficiency without sacrificing robust feature representation. Better generalization and lower misclassification rates are ensured by replacing the traditional softmax layer with an SVM classifier with an RBF kernel. According to experimental results, the suggested model outperforms traditional Standard CNN architectures, which reach 98.30% accuracy under the identical experimental settings, with an accuracy of 99.47%. According to the findings, the Hybrid CNN- SVM model greatly increases classification accuracy when used in alongside MedAug-Net, making it an effective and clinically dependable method for analyzing capsule endoscopy images.

Chemical heuristics have been fundamental to the advancement of chemistry and materials science. These heuristics are typically established by scientists using knowledge and creativity to extract patterns from limited datasets. Machine learning offers opportunities to perfect this approach using computers and larger datasets. Here, we discuss the relationships between traditional heuristics and machine learning approaches. We show how traditional rules can be challenged by large-scale statistical assessment and how traditional concepts commonly used as features are feeding the machine learning techniques. We stress the waste involved in relearning chemical rules and the challenges in terms of data size requirements for purely data-driven approaches. Our view is that heuristic and machine learning approaches are at their best when they work together.

One of the most powerful ideas in deep learning is the transfer learning technique. Transfer learning can be utilized to take a knowledge from what a deep neural network has learned from a particular task and apply that knowledge to a different task. Transfer learning is very useful when the size of the training samples of interest is small to train a neural network from scratch. This research focuses on the concept of transfer learning where the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) power can be utilized as a features extractor to help with classifying benign from malignant breast cancer images. In addition, Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier based on Radial Basis Function (RBF) was adapted for its flexibility in fitting the data dimension space adequately by tuning the kernel width. The hybridization between CNN and RBF-Based SVM showed robust results for both the dataset and the application task of this research. The contribution of this paper can be summarized in three major parts. First, a CNN was implemented from scratch on a large number of available spine images to classify images of two different spine views (sagittal and axial) in order to transfer the learning process to the CNN of breast images. Second, retrain the spine CNN on the images of breast cancer to classify between benign and malignant cases by fine-tuning. Finally, the features were extracted from the retrained CNN and fed to RBF-Based SVM to classify benign from malignant breast mammogram images.

Emotion recognition plays a pivotal role in advancing Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) by enabling systems to understand and respond to human emotional states. Among various modalities, Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) stands out as a non-invasive, cost-effective, and temporally efficient approach for detecting emotions. This study leverages the RAVDESS dataset, which provides high-quality audio recordings for emotion classification. The proposed methodology involves preprocessing audio signals to remove noise, extracting temporal and spectral features in both time and frequency domains, and implementing machine learning models for multi-class emotion classification. The study evaluates and compares the performance of several classification models, including Random Forest (RF), Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), and Decision Trees (DT). Experimental results demonstrate promising accuracy levels, highlighting the potential of these machine learning techniques in SER. This research contributes to the integration of SER within Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) and other emotion-aware applications, paving the way for enhanced interactive systems.

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been widely used in image recognition and processing tasks. Memristor-based CNNs accumulate the advantages of emerging memristive devices, such as nanometer critical dimensions, low power consumption, and functional similarity to biological synapses. Most studies on memristor-based CNNs use either software models of memristors for simulation analysis or full hardware CNN realization. Here, we propose a hybrid CNN, consisting of a hardware fixed pre-trained and explainable feature extractor and a trainable software classifier. The hardware part was realized on passive crossbar arrays of memristors based on nanocomposite (Co-Fe-B)x(LiNbO3)100−x structures. The constructed 2-kernel CNN was able to classify the binarized Fashion-MNIST dataset with ~ 84% accuracy. The performance of the hybrid CNN is comparable to the other reported memristor-based systems, while the number of trainable parameters for the hybrid CNN is substantially lower. Moreover, the hybrid CNN is robust to the variations in the memristive characteristics: dispersion of 20% leads to only a 3% accuracy decrease. The obtained results pave the way for the efficient and reliable realization of neural networks based on partially unreliable analog elements.

<p>Accurate water level (WL) forecasting is important for water resources management and planning purposes in the Great Lakes. The objectives of this research are two-fold.  The first objective is to apply machine learning (ML) (i.e., random forest (RF) and support vector regression (SVR)) and hybrid convolutional neural network(CNN)-long-short term memory (LSTM) deep learning (DL) models for multi-step (i.e., one-, two- and three-monthly step ahead) WL forecasting in the Great Lakes (Michigan and Ontario). The second objective is to integrate the boundary corrected (BC) maximal overlap discrete wavelet transform (MODWT) with SVR, RF, and CNN-LSTM models to improve the performance of the individual models. By employing a BC-wavelet decomposition method, the ‘future data’ issue (i.e., data from the future that is not available), often overlooked in the literature and a major barrier to achieving realistic forecasting performance is overcome. </p><p>For Lakes Michigan and Ontario, 1212 monthly WL (m) records (spanning Jan 1918–Dec 2018) were used to develop the models. For the non-wavelet-based models (SVR, RF, and CNN-LSTM), candidate model inputs included the WL recorded over the previous 12 months.  For the BC-MODWT-based models (BC-MODWT-SVR, BC-MODWT-RF, and BC-MODWT-CNN-LSTM), the lagged input time series were decomposed into BC-wavelet and scaling coefficients by using different mother wavelets (Haar, Daubechies, Symlets, Fejer-Korovkin and Coiflets), filter lengths (from two up to 12) and decomposition levels (from one up to seven).  For each method (SVR, RF, and CNN-LSTM), mother wavelet, and decomposition level a model was generated.  For both wavelet- and non-wavelet-based models, the particle swarm optimization (PSO) method was used to select the most appropriate inputs to include in the proposed multi-step WL forecasting models.</p><p>The datasets were partitioned into calibration and validation subsets. After calibrating the models, various performance evaluation metrics, e.g., coefficient of determination (R<sup>2</sup>), root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), root mean square percentage error (RMSPE), mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) and the Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency coefficient (NSC) were used to assess model accuracy.</p><p>Of the ML models, the SVR outperformed RF while the DL models outperformed the ML models for each forecast lead time (one-, two-, and three-step(s) ahead). Results from this case study indicate that not all wavelet families and decomposition levels perform equally and in some cases, the wavelet-based models do not improve performance over the non-wavelet-based models. However, the BC-MODWT-CNN-LSTM using suitable mother wavelets (e.g., Haar) outperforms the individual ML and BC-MODWT-ML-based models. More accurate forecasts were obtained for Lake Michigan although the performance in both Great Lakes was accurate. The outcomes of this research indicate that the BC-MODWT-CNN-LSTM model is a promising tool for generating accurate WL forecasts.</p>

COVID-19 is highly infectious and causes acute respiratory disease. Machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) models are vital in detecting disease from computerized chest tomography (CT) scans. The DL models outperformed the ML models. For COVID-19 detection from CT scan images, DL models are used as end-to-end models. Thus, the performance of the model is evaluated for the quality of the extracted feature and classification accuracy. There are four contributions included in this work. First, this research is motivated by studying the quality of the extracted feature from the DL by feeding these extracted to an ML model. In other words, we proposed comparing the end-to-end DL model performance against the approach of using DL for feature extraction and ML for the classification of COVID-19 CT scan images. Second, we proposed studying the effect of fusing extracted features from image descriptors, e.g., Scale-Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT), with extracted features from DL models. Third, we proposed a new Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to be trained from scratch and then compared to the deep transfer learning on the same classification problem. Finally, we studied the performance gap between classic ML models against ensemble learning models. The proposed framework is evaluated using a CT dataset, where the obtained results are evaluated using five different metrics The obtained results revealed that using the proposed CNN model is better than using the well-known DL model for the purpose of feature extraction. Moreover, using a DL model for feature extraction and an ML model for the classification task achieved better results in comparison to using an end-to-end DL model for detecting COVID-19 CT scan images. Of note, the accuracy rate of the former method improved by using ensemble learning models instead of the classic ML models. The proposed method achieved the best accuracy rate of 99.39%.

Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Early detection of this disease increases the chances of survival. Computer-Aided Detection (CAD) has been used to process CT images of the lung to determine whether an image has traces of cancer. This paper presents an image classification method based on the hybrid Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) algorithm and Support Vector Machine (SVM). This algorithm is capable of automatically classifying and analyzing each lung image to check if there is any presence of cancer cells or not. CNN is easier to train and has fewer parameters compared to a fully connected network with the same number of hidden units. Moreover, SVM has been utilized to eliminate useless information that affects accuracy negatively. In recent years, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have achieved excellent performance in many computer visions tasks. In this study, the performance of this algorithm is evaluated, and the results indicated that our proposed CNN-SVM algorithm has been succeed in classifying lung images with 97.91% accuracy. This has shown the method's merit and its ability to classify lung cancer in CT images accurately.

Stroke is a leading cause of mortality and disability worldwide, necessitating rapid and accurate diagnosis for effective intervention. This study focuses on leveraging machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) techniques to distinguish between ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes using clinical and imaging data. The proposed methodologies aim to enhance diagnostic precision, reduce time to treatment, and optimize healthcare outcomes. A dataset comprising neuroimaging scans (e.g., CT and MRI) and clinical parameters (e.g., age, comorbidities, symptom onset) was analyzed. Various ML algorithms, including random forests and support vector machines, were utilized for feature selection and preliminary classification. Additionally, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) were employed to process imaging data for stroke type identification. Hybrid models integrating clinical and imaging features were developed to achieve a holistic diagnostic framework. Performance metrics such as accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) were used to evaluate the models. Preliminary results indicate that the deep learning models achieved higher diagnostic accuracy up to 95% compared to traditional machine learning approaches. The hybrid models demonstrated superior performance, showcasing the importance of combining imaging and clinical data for robust stroke diagnosis. This research highlights the potential of ML and DL in revolutionizing stroke diagnosis, addressing the challenges of misclassification and delayed identification. The findings advocate for integrating AI-driven diagnostic tools into clinical workflows to support medical decision-making and improve patient outcomes. Future work involves validating the models on larger, diverse datasets and exploring their adaptability in real-world clinical settings.

In the field of medicine, with the introduction of computer systems that can collect and analyze massive amounts of data, many non-invasive diagnostic methods are being developed for a variety of conditions. In this study, our aim is to develop a non-invasive method of classifying respiratory sounds that are recorded by an electronic stethoscope and the audio recording software that uses various machine learning algorithms.In order to store respiratory sounds on a computer, we developed a cost-effective and easy-to-use electronic stethoscope that can be used with any device. Using this device, we recorded 17,930 lung sounds from 1630 subjects.We employed two types of machine learning algorithms; mel frequency cepstral coefficient (MFCC) features in a support vector machine (SVM) and spectrogram images in the convolutional neural network (CNN). Since using MFCC features with a SVM algorithm is a generally accepted classification method for audio, we utilized its results to benchmark the CNN algorithm. We prepared four data sets for each CNN and SVM algorithm to classify respiratory audio: (1) healthy versus pathological classification; (2) rale, rhonchus, and normal sound classification; (3) singular respiratory sound type classification; and (4) audio type classification with all sound types. Accuracy results of the experiments were; (1) CNN 86%, SVM 86%, (2) CNN 76%, SVM 75%, (3) CNN 80%, SVM 80%, and (4) CNN 62%, SVM 62%, respectively.As a result, we found out that spectrogram image classification with CNN algorithm works as well as the SVM algorithm, and given the large amount of data, CNN and SVM machine learning algorithms can accurately classify and pre-diagnose respiratory audio.

Convolutional neural networks are known to outperform all other neural network models when classifying a wide variety of 2D-shapes. This type of networks supports a massively parallel extraction of low-level features in the processed images. Especially this characteristic is assumed to impact the performance of convolutional networks in character recognition tasks - and in particular when considering scaled, rotated, translated or otherwise deformed patterns. Yet training of convolutional networks is rather time-consuming due to the relatively high complexity of the entire model. To speed-up the training process, we will propose a new variant of convolutional networks - the so-called hybrid convolutional neural network (HCNN). HCNN-networks combine the original idea of LeCun's convolutional networks with the benefits of RBF-like neurons in all the layers and with the winner-takes- all mechanism applied during recall. In the tests done so far in hand-written digit recognition, HCNN proved to be capable of considerably speeding-up the training process while maintaining roughly the same performance of the trained networks like original convolutional networks.
