In Diabetic Retinopathy (DR), the retina is harmed due to the high blood pressure in small blood vessels. Manual screening is time-consuming, which can be overcome by using automated techniques. Hence, this paper proposed a new method for classifying the multi-level severity of DR. Initially, the input fundus image is pre-processed by Non-local means Denoising (NLMD). Then, lesion segmentation is carried out by the Recurrent Prototypical-squeeze U-SegNet (RP-squeeze U-SegNet). Next, feature extraction is effectuated to mine image-level features. DR is categorized as abnormal or normal by ShuffleNet and it is tuned by Fractional War Royale Optimization (FrWRO), and later, if DR is detected, severity classification is performed. Furthermore, the FrWRO-SqueezeNet obtained the maximum performance with sensitivity of 97%, accuracy of 93.8%, specificity of 95.1%, precision of 91.8%, and F-Measure of 94.3%. The devised scheme accurately visualizes abnormal regions in the fundus images. Also, it has the ability to identify the severity levels of DR effectively, which avoids the progression risk to vision loss and proliferative disease.
在糖尿病视网膜病变(DR)中,视网膜因小血管内的高血压而受到损害。人工筛查非常耗时,而使用自动化技术则可以克服这一问题。因此,本文提出了一种新方法,用于对糖尿病视网膜病变的严重程度进行多级分类。首先,对输入的眼底图像进行非局部去噪(NLMD)预处理。然后,利用递归原型挤压 U-SegNet (RP-挤压 U-SegNet)进行病变分割。然后,进行特征提取,挖掘图像级特征。通过 ShuffleNet 将 DR 分为异常或正常,并通过 Fractional War Royale Optimization(FrWRO)对其进行调整,之后,如果检测到 DR,则进行严重程度分类。此外,FrWRO-SqueezeNet 获得了最高性能,灵敏度达 97%,准确度达 93.8%,特异度达 95.1%,精确度达 91.8%,F-Measure 达 94.3%。所设计的方案能准确显示眼底图像中的异常区域。此外,它还能有效识别 DR 的严重程度,从而避免恶化为视力丧失和增殖性疾病的风险。

Deep brain stimulation(DBS) has become an effective intervention for advanced Parkinson's disease(PD), but the exact mechanism of DBS is still unclear. In this review, we discuss the history of DBS, the anatomy and internal architecture of the basal ganglia (BG), the abnormal pathological changes of the BG in PD, and how computational models can help understand and advance DBS. We also describe two types of models: mathematical theoretical models and clinical predictive models. Mathematical theoretical models simulate neurons or neural networks of BG to shed light on the mechanistic principle underlying DBS, while clinical predictive models focus more on patients' outcomes, helping to adapt treatment plans for each patient and advance novel electrode designs. Finally, we provide insights and an outlook on future technologies.

Effective project planning and management in the global software development landscape relies on addressing major issues like cost estimation and effort allocation. Timely estimation of software development is a critical focus in software engineering research. With the industry increasingly relying on diverse teams worldwide, accurate estimation becomes vital. Software size serves as a common measure for costs and schedules, but advanced estimation methods consider various variables, such as project purpose, personnel expertise, time and efficiency constraints, and technology requirements. Estimating software costs involve significant financial and strategic commitments, making it crucial to address complexity and versatility related to cost drivers. To achieve enhanced accuracy and convergence, we employ the cuckoo algorithm in our proposed NFDLNN (Neuro Fuzzy Logic and Deep Learning Neural Networks) model. Through extensive validation with industrial project data, using Function Point Analysis as the algorithmic models, our NFA model demonstrates high accuracy in software cost approximation, outperforming existing methods insights of MRE of 3.33, BRE of 0.13, and PI of 74.48. Our research contributes to improved project planning and decision-making processes in global software development endeavours.

Early detection of lung cancer is necessary to prevent deaths caused by lung cancer. But, the identification of cancer in lungs using Computed Tomography (CT) scan based on some deep learning algorithms does not provide accurate results. A novel adaptive deep learning is developed with heuristic improvement. The proposed framework constitutes three sections as (a) Image acquisition, (b) Segmentation of Lung nodule, and (c) Classifying lung cancer. The raw CT images are congregated through standard data sources. It is then followed by nodule segmentation process, which is conducted by Adaptive Multi-Scale Dilated Trans-Unet3+. For increasing the segmentation accuracy, the parameters in this model is optimized by proposing Modified Transfer Operator-based Archimedes Optimization (MTO-AO). At the end, the segmented images are subjected to classification procedure, namely, Advanced Dilated Ensemble Convolutional Neural Networks (ADECNN), in which it is constructed with Inception, ResNet and MobileNet, where the hyper parameters is tuned by MTO-AO. From the three networks, the final result is estimated by high ranking-based classification. Hence, the performance is investigated using multiple measures and compared among different approaches. Thus, the findings of model demonstrate to prove the system's efficiency of detecting cancer and help the patient to get the appropriate treatment.

The Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is susceptible to two kinds of attacks, namely active attack and passive attack. In an active attack, the attacker directly communicates with the target system or network. In contrast, in passive attack, the attacker is in indirect contact with the network. To preserve the functionality and dependability of wireless sensor networks, this research has been conducted recently to detect and mitigate the black hole attacks. In this research, a Deep learning (DL) based black hole attack detection model is designed. The WSN simulation is the beginning stage of this process. Moreover, routing is the key process, where the data is passed to the base station (BS) via the shortest and finest route. The proposed Worst Elite Sailfish Optimization (WESFO) is utilized for routing. Moreover, black hole attack detection is performed in the BS. The Auto Encoder (AE) is employed in attack detection, which is trained with the use of the proposed WESFO algorithm. Additionally, the proposed model is validated in terms of delay, Packet Delivery Rate (PDR), throughput, False-Negative Rate (FNR), and False-Positive Rate (FPR) parameters with the corresponding outcomes like 25.64 s, 94.83%, 119.3, 0.084, and 0.135 are obtained.

Numerous studies have been conducted in an attempt to preserve cloud privacy, yet the majority of cutting-edge solutions fall short when it comes to handling sensitive data. This research proposes a "privacy preservation model in the cloud environment". The four stages of recommended security preservation methodology are "identification of sensitive data, generation of an optimal tuned key, suggested data sanitization, and data restoration". Initially, owner's data enters the Sensitive data identification process. The sensitive information in the input (owner's data) is identified via Augmented Dynamic Itemset Counting (ADIC) based Associative Rule Mining Model. Subsequently, the identified sensitive data are sanitized via the newly created tuned key. The generated tuned key is formulated with new fourfold objective-hybrid optimization approach-based deep learning approach. The optimally tuned key is generated with LSTM on the basis of fourfold objectives and the new hybrid MUAOA. The created keys, as well as generated sensitive rules, are fed into the deep learning model. The MUAOA technique is a conceptual blend of standard AOA and CMBO, respectively. As a result, unauthorized people will be unable to access information. Finally, comparative evaluation is undergone and proposed LSTM+MUAOA has achieved higher values on privacy about 5.21 compared to other existing models.

The current research explores the improvements in predictive performance and computational efficiency that machine learning and deep learning methods have made over time. Specifically, the application of transfer learning concepts within Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) has proved useful for diagnosing and classifying the various stages of Alzheimer's disease. Using base architectures such as Xception, InceptionResNetV2, DenseNet201, InceptionV3, ResNet50, and MobileNetV2, this study extends these models by adding batch normalization (BN), dropout, and dense layers. These enhancements improve the model's effectiveness and precision in addressing the specified medical issue. The proposed model is rigorously validated and evaluated using publicly available Kaggle MRI Alzheimer's data consisting of 1280 testing images and 5120 patient training images. For comprehensive performance evaluation, precision, recall, F1-score, and accuracy metrics are utilized. The findings indicate that the Xception method is the most promising of those considered. Without employing five K-fold techniques, this model obtains a 99% accuracy and 0.135 loss score. In addition, integrating five K-fold methods enhances the accuracy to 99.68% while decreasing the loss score to 0.120. The research further included the evaluation of the Receiver Operating Characteristic Area Under the Curve (ROC-AUC) for various classes and models. As a result, our model may detect and diagnose Alzheimer's disease quickly and accurately.

The increasing volume of online reviews and tweets poses significant challenges for sentiment classification because of the difficulty in obtaining annotated training data. This paper aims to enhance sentiment classification of Twitter data by developing a robust model that improves classification accuracy and computational efficiency. The proposed method named Tree Hierarchical Deep Convolutional Neural Network optimized with Sheep Flock Optimization Algorithm for Sentiment Classification of Twitter Data (SCTD-THDCNN-SFOA) utilizes the Stanford Sentiment Treebank dataset. The process begins with pre-processing steps including Tokenization, Stop words Elimination, Filtering, Hashtag Removal, and Multiword Grouping. The Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix Window Adaptive Algorithm is employed to extract features, such as emoticon counts, punctuation counts, gazetteer word existence, n-grams, and part of speech tags. These features are selected using Entropy-Kurtosis-based Feature Selection approach. Finally, the Tree Hierarchical Deep Convolutional Neural Network enhanced by the Sheep Flock Optimization Algorithm is used to categorize the Twitter data as positive, negative, and neutral sentiments. The proposed SCTD-THDCNN-SFOA method demonstrates superior performance, achieving higher accuracy and lesser computation time than the existing models, respectively. The SCTD-THDCNN-SFOA framework significantly improves the accuracy and efficiency of sentiment classification for Twitter data.

The purpose of this paper is to test the performance of the recently proposed weighted superposition attraction-repulsion algorithms (WSA and WSAR) on unconstrained continuous optimization test problems and constrained optimization problems. WSAR is a successor of weighted superposition attraction algorithm (WSA). WSAR is established upon the superposition principle from physics and mimics attractive and repulsive movements of solution agents (vectors). Differently from the WSA, WSAR also considers repulsive movements with updated solution move equations. WSAR requires very few algorithm-specific parameters to be set and has good convergence and searching capability. Through extensive computational tests on many benchmark problems including CEC'2015 and CEC'2020 performance of the WSAR is compared against WSA and other metaheuristic algorithms. It is statistically shown that the WSAR algorithm is able to produce good and competitive results in comparison to its predecessor WSA and other metaheuristic algorithms.

Plant diseases pose a significant threat to agricultural productivity worldwide. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have achieved state-of-the-art performances on several plant disease detection tasks. However, the manual development of CNN models using an exhaustive approach is a resource-intensive task. Neural Architecture Search (NAS) has emerged as an innovative paradigm that seeks to automate model generation procedures without human intervention. However, the application of NAS in plant disease detection has received limited attention. In this work, we propose a two-stage meta-learning-based neural architecture search system (ML NAS) to automate the generation of CNN models for unseen plant disease detection tasks. The first stage recommends the most suitable benchmark models for unseen plant disease detection tasks based on the prior evaluations of benchmark models on existing plant disease datasets. In the second stage, the proposed NAS operators are employed to optimize the recommended model for the target task. The experimental results showed that the MLNAS system's model outperformed state-of-the-art models on the fruit disease dataset, achieving an accuracy of 99.61%. Furthermore, the MLNAS-generated model outperformed the Progressive NAS model on the 8-class plant disease dataset, achieving an accuracy of 99.8%. Hence, the proposed MLNAS system facilitates faster model development with reduced computational costs.
植物病害对全球农业生产力构成了重大威胁。卷积神经网络(CNN)在多项植物病害检测任务中取得了最先进的性能。然而,使用穷举法手动开发 CNN 模型是一项资源密集型任务。神经架构搜索(NAS)作为一种创新范式应运而生,旨在无需人工干预即可自动生成模型。然而,NAS 在植物病害检测中的应用受到的关注有限。在这项工作中,我们提出了一种基于元学习的两阶段神经架构搜索系统(ML NAS),以自动生成用于未见植物病害检测任务的 CNN 模型。第一阶段根据先前在现有植物病害数据集上对基准模型的评估,为未知植物病害检测任务推荐最合适的基准模型。在第二阶段,利用提出的 NAS 算子针对目标任务优化推荐模型。实验结果表明,MLNAS 系统的模型在水果病害数据集上的表现优于最先进的模型,准确率达到 99.61%。此外,在 8 类植物疾病数据集上,MLNAS 生成的模型的准确率达到了 99.8%,优于 Progressive NAS 模型。因此,所提出的 MLNAS 系统有助于更快地开发模型,同时降低计算成本。
