Abstract In this study, our aim is to address the problem of gene selection by proposing a hybrid bio-inspired evolutionary algorithm that combines Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO) with Harris Hawks Optimization (HHO) for feature selection. The motivation for utilizing GWO and HHO stems from their bio-inspired nature and their demonstrated success in optimization problems. We aim to leverage the strengths of these algorithms to enhance the effectiveness of feature selection in microarray-based cancer classification. We selected leave-one-out cross-validation (LOOCV) to evaluate the performance of both two widely used classifiers, k-nearest neighbors (KNN) and support vector machine (SVM), on high-dimensional cancer microarray… More >

Abstract Person identification is one of the most vital tasks for network security. People are more concerned about their security due to traditional passwords becoming weaker or leaking in various attacks. In recent decades, fingerprints and faces have been widely used for person identification, which has the risk of information leakage as a result of reproducing fingers or faces by taking a snapshot. Recently, people have focused on creating an identifiable pattern, which will not be reproducible falsely by capturing psychological and behavioral information of a person using vision and sensor-based techniques. In existing studies, most of the researchers used very… More >

Abstract With the widespread data collection and processing, privacy-preserving machine learning has become increasingly important in addressing privacy risks related to individuals. Support vector machine (SVM) is one of the most elementary learning models of machine learning. Privacy issues surrounding SVM classifier training have attracted increasing attention. In this paper, we investigate Differential Privacy-compliant Federated Machine Learning with Dimensionality Reduction, called Fed_DPDR-DPML, which greatly improves data utility while providing strong privacy guarantees. Considering in distributed learning scenarios, multiple participants usually hold unbalanced or small amounts of data. Therefore, Fed_DPDR-DPML enables multiple participants to collaboratively learn a global model based on weighted… More >

Abstract Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being increasingly used for diagnosing Vision-Threatening Diabetic Retinopathy (VTDR), which is a leading cause of visual impairment and blindness worldwide. However, previous automated VTDR detection methods have mainly relied on manual feature extraction and classification, leading to errors. This paper proposes a novel VTDR detection and classification model that combines different models through majority voting. Our proposed methodology involves preprocessing, data augmentation, feature extraction, and classification stages. We use a hybrid convolutional neural network-singular value decomposition (CNN-SVD) model for feature extraction and selection and an improved SVM-RBF with a Decision Tree (DT) and K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN)… More >

Abstract Accurately estimating blasting vibration during rock blasting is the foundation of blasting vibration management. In this study, Tuna Swarm Optimization (TSO), Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA), and Cuckoo Search (CS) were used to optimize two hyperparameters in support vector regression (SVR). Based on these methods, three hybrid models to predict peak particle velocity (PPV) for bench blasting were developed. Eighty-eight samples were collected to establish the PPV database, eight initial blasting parameters were chosen as input parameters for the prediction model, and the PPV was the output parameter. As predictive performance evaluation indicators, the coefficient of determination (R²), root mean square… More >

Abstract Breast Arterial Calcification (BAC) is a mammographic decision dissimilar to cancer and commonly observed in elderly women. Thus identifying BAC could provide an expense, and be inaccurate. Recently Deep Learning (DL) methods have been introduced for automatic BAC detection and quantification with increased accuracy. Previously, classification with deep learning had reached higher efficiency, but designing the structure of DL proved to be an extremely challenging task due to overfitting models. It also is not able to capture the patterns and irregularities presented in the images. To solve the overfitting problem, an optimal feature set has been formed by Enhanced Wolf… More >

Abstract Algorithms for steganography are methods of hiding data transfers in media files. Several machine learning architectures have been presented recently to improve stego image identification performance by using spatial information, and these methods have made it feasible to handle a wide range of problems associated with image analysis. Images with little information or low payload are used by information embedding methods, but the goal of all contemporary research is to employ high-payload images for classification. To address the need for both low- and high-payload images, this work provides a machine-learning approach to steganography image classification that uses Curvelet transformation to… More >

Abstract In this present time, Human Activity Recognition (HAR) has been of considerable aid in the case of health monitoring and recovery. The exploitation of machine learning with an intelligent agent in the area of health informatics gathered using HAR augments the decision-making quality and significance. Although many research works conducted on Smart Healthcare Monitoring, there remain a certain number of pitfalls such as time, overhead, and falsification involved during analysis. Therefore, this paper proposes a Statistical Partial Regression and Support Vector Intelligent Agent Learning (SPR-SVIAL) for Smart Healthcare Monitoring. At first, the Statistical Partial Regression Feature Extraction model is used… More >

Abstract Background: Invasive breast carcinoma (BRCA) is associated with poor prognosis and high risk of mortality. Therefore, it is critical to identify novel biomarkers for the prognostic assessment of BRCA. Methods: The expression data of polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) in BRCA and the corresponding clinical information were extracted from TCGA and GEO databases. PLK1 expression was validated in diverse breast cancer cell lines by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and western blotting. Single sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) was performed to evaluate immune infiltration in the BRCA microenvironment, and the random forest (RF) and support vector machine (SVM) algorithms… More >
