Abstract Machine Learning (ML)-based prediction and classification systems employ data and learning algorithms to forecast target values. However, improving predictive accuracy is a crucial step for informed decision-making. In the healthcare domain, data are available in the form of genetic profiles and clinical characteristics to build prediction models for complex tasks like cancer detection or diagnosis. Among ML algorithms, Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) are considered the most suitable framework for many classification tasks. The network weights and the activation functions are the two crucial elements in the learning process of an ANN. These weights affect the prediction ability and the convergence… More >

Abstract With the advent of Machine and Deep Learning algorithms, medical image diagnosis has a new perception of diagnosis and clinical treatment. Regrettably, medical images are more susceptible to capturing noises despite the peak in intelligent imaging techniques. However, the presence of noise images degrades both the diagnosis and clinical treatment processes. The existing intelligent methods suffer from the deficiency in handling the diverse range of noise in the versatile medical images. This paper proposes a novel deep learning network which learns from the substantial extent of noise in medical data samples to alleviate this challenge. The proposed deep learning architecture… More >

Abstract Around the globe, chronic diseases pose a serious hazard to healthcare communities. The majority of the deaths are due to chronic diseases, and it causes burdens across the world. Through analyzing healthcare data and extracting patterns healthcare administrators, victims, and healthcare communities will get an advantage if the diseases are early predicted. The majority of the existing works focused on increasing the accuracy of the techniques but didn’t concentrate on other performance measures. Thus, the proposed work improves the early detection of chronic disease and safeguards the lives of the patients by increasing the specificity and sensitivity of the classifiers… More >

Abstract Due to small size and high occult, metacarpophalangeal fracture diagnosis displays a low accuracy in terms of fracture detection and location in X-ray images. To efficiently detect metacarpophalangeal fractures on X-ray images as the second opinion for radiologists, we proposed a novel one-stage neural network named MPFracNet based on RetinaNet. In MPFracNet, a deformable bottleneck block (DBB) was integrated into the bottleneck to better adapt to the geometric variation of the fractures. Furthermore, an integrated feature fusion module (IFFM) was employed to obtain more in-depth semantic and shallow detail features. Specifically, Focal Loss and Balanced L1 Loss were introduced to… More >

Abstract The major environmental hazard in this pandemic is the unhygienic disposal of medical waste. Medical wastage is not properly managed it will become a hazard to the environment and humans. Managing medical wastage is a major issue in the city, municipalities in the aspects of the environment, and logistics. An efficient supply chain with edge computing technology is used in managing medical waste. The supply chain operations include processing of waste collection, transportation, and disposal of waste. Many research works have been applied to improve the management of wastage. The main issues in the existing techniques are ineffective and expensive… More >

Abstract Word Sense Disambiguation has been a trending topic of research in Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning. Mining core features and performing the text classification still exist as a challenging task. Here the features of the context such as neighboring words like adjective provide the evidence for classification using machine learning approach. This paper presented the text document classification that has wide applications in information retrieval, which uses movie review datasets. Here the document indexing based on controlled vocabulary, adjective, word sense disambiguation, generating hierarchical categorization of web pages, spam detection, topic labeling, web search, document summarization, etc. Here the… More >

Abstract Accurate electricity forecasting is the key basis for guiding the power sector to arrange operation plans and guaranteeing the profitability of electric power companies. However, with the increasing demand of enterprises and departments for data security, the phenomenon of “Isolated Data Island” becomes more and more serious, resulting in the accuracy loss of the traditional electricity prediction model. Federated learning, as an emerging artificial intelligence technology, is designed to ensure data privacy while carrying out efficient machine learning, which provides a new way to solve the problem of “Isolated Data Island” in terms of electricity forecasting. Nonetheless, due to the… More >

Abstract The rapid advancement of wireless communication is forming a hyper-connected 5G network in which billions of linked devices generate massive amounts of data. The traffic control and data forwarding functions are decoupled in software-defined networking (SDN) and allow the network to be programmable. Each switch in SDN keeps track of forwarding information in a flow table. The SDN switches must search the flow table for the flow rules that match the packets to handle the incoming packets. Due to the obvious vast quantity of data in data centres, the capacity of the flow table restricts the data plane’s forwarding capabilities.… More >

Abstract The existing strategy for evaluating the damage condition of structures mostly focuses on feedback supplied by traditional visual methods, which may result in an unreliable damage characterization due to inspector subjectivity or insufficient level of expertise. As a result, a robust, reliable, and repeatable method of damage identification is required. Ensemble learning algorithms for identifying structural damage are evaluated in this article, which use deep convolutional neural networks, including simple averaging, integrated stacking, separate stacking, and hybrid weighted averaging ensemble and differential evolution (WAE-DE) ensemble models. Damage identification is carried out on three types of damage. The proposed algorithms are… More >
