Abstract In 2018, 1.76 million people worldwide died of lung cancer. Most of these deaths are due to late diagnosis, and early-stage diagnosis significantly increases the likelihood of a successful treatment for lung cancer. Machine learning is a branch of artificial intelligence that allows computers to quickly identify patterns within complex and large datasets by learning from existing data. Machine-learning techniques have been improving rapidly and are increasingly used by medical professionals for the successful classification and diagnosis of early-stage disease. They are widely used in cancer diagnosis. In particular, machine learning has been used in… More >

Abstract The study of malware behaviors, over the last years, has received tremendous attention from researchers for the purpose of reducing malware risks. Most of the investigating experiments are performed using either static analysis or behavior analysis. However, recent studies have shown that both analyses are vulnerable to modern malware files that use several techniques to avoid analysis and detection. Therefore, extracted features could be meaningless and a distraction for malware analysts. However, the volatile memory can expose useful information about malware behaviors and characteristics. In addition, memory analysis is capable of detecting unconventional malware, such… More >

Abstract In many fields such as signal processing, machine learning, pattern recognition and data mining, it is common practice to process datasets containing huge numbers of features. In such cases, Feature Selection (FS) is often involved. Meanwhile, owing to their excellent global search ability, evolutionary computation techniques have been widely employed to the FS. So, as a powerful global search method and calculation fast than other EC algorithms, PSO can solve features selection problems well. However, when facing a large number of feature selection, the efficiency of PSO drops significantly. Therefore, plenty of works have been… More >

Abstract The Fused Modified Grasshopper Optimization Algorithm has been proposed, which selects the most specific feature sets from images of the disease of plant leaves. The Proposed algorithm ensures the detection of diseases during the early stages of the diagnosis of leaf disease by farmers and, finally, the crop needed to be controlled by farmers to ensure the survival and protection of plants. In this study, a novel approach has been suggested based on the standard optimization algorithm for grasshopper and the selection of features. Leaf conditions in plants are a major factor in reducing crop… More >

Abstract Agriculture is essential for the economy and plant disease must be minimized. Early recognition of problems is important, but the manual inspection is slow, error-prone, and has high manpower and time requirements. Artificial intelligence can be used to extract fruit color, shape, or texture data, thus aiding the detection of infections. Recently, the convolutional neural network (CNN) techniques show a massive success for image classification tasks. CNN extracts more detailed features and can work efficiently with large datasets. In this work, we used a combined deep neural network and contour feature-based approach to classify fruits… More >

Abstract Due to the lack of consideration of movement behavior information other than time and location perception in current location prediction methods, the movement characteristics of trajectory data cannot be well expressed, which in turn affects the accuracy of the prediction results. First, a new trajectory data expression method by associating the movement behavior information is given. The pre-association method is used to model the movement behavior information according to the individual movement behavior features and the group movement behavior features extracted from the trajectory sequence and the region. The movement behavior features based on pre-association More >

Abstract In large-scale image retrieval, deep features extracted by Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) can effectively express more image information than those extracted by traditional manual methods. However, the deep feature dimensions obtained by Deep Convolutional Neural Network (DCNN) are too high and redundant, which leads to low retrieval efficiency. We propose a novel image retrieval method, which combines deep features selection with improved DCNN and hash transform based on high-dimension features reduction to gain lowdimension deep features and realizes efficient image retrieval. Firstly, the improved network is based on the existing deep model to build a… More >

Abstract In the area of pattern recognition and machine learning, features play a key role in prediction. The famous applications of features are medical imaging, image classification, and name a few more. With the exponential growth of information investments in medical data repositories and health service provision, medical institutions are collecting large volumes of data. These data repositories contain details information essential to support medical diagnostic decisions and also improve patient care quality. On the other hand, this growth also made it difficult to comprehend and utilize data for various purposes. The results of imaging data… More >
