Abstract Respiratory infections in children increase the risk of fatal lung disease, making effective identification and analysis of breath sounds essential. However, most studies have focused on adults ignoring pediatric patients whose lungs are more vulnerable due to an imperfect immune system, and the scarcity of medical data has limited the development of deep learning methods toward reliability and high classification accuracy. In this work, we collected three types of breath sounds from children with normal (120 recordings), bronchitis (120 recordings), and pneumonia (120 recordings) at the posterior chest position using an off-the-shelf 3M electronic stethoscope. Three features were extracted from… More >

Abstract The combination of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and digital twin (DT) technology makes it possible for the DT model to realize the dynamic perception of equipment status and performance. However, conventional digital modeling is weak in the fusion and adjustment ability between virtual and real information. The performance prediction based on experience greatly reduces the inclusiveness and accuracy of the model. In this paper, a DT-IIoT optimization model is proposed to improve the real-time representation and prediction ability of the key equipment state. Firstly, a global real-time feedback and the dynamic adjustment mechanism is established by combining DT-IIoT… More >

Abstract Breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) is an important resistance protein that significantly impacts anticancer drug discovery, treatment, and rehabilitation. Early identification of BCRP substrates is quite a challenging task. This study aims to predict early substrate structure, which can help to optimize anticancer drug development and clinical diagnosis. For this study, a novel intelligent approach-based methodology is developed by modifying the ResNet101 model using transfer learning (TL) for automatic deep feature (DF) extraction followed by classification with linear discriminant analysis algorithm (TLRNDF-LDA). This study utilized structural fingerprints, which are exploited by DF contrary to conventional molecular descriptors. The proposed in… More >

Abstract Cyberattacks have reached their peak during COVID-19, and intruders urge to gain the upper hand in the cybersecurity battlefield, even gaining dominance. Now intruders are trying harder to elude behavior analysis techniques, which in turn gets organization security to come for a toss. This phenomenon is even more prevalent in agentless environments (IOT devices, mobile devices), where we do not have any access to edge devices and rely on packet data to predict any attack and its actors. In this paper, we shall be discussing enhancing the accuracy of anomalous behavior detection techniques for efficient threat intelligence and revamping deception… More >

Abstract To create a green and healthy living environment, people have put forward higher requirements for the refined management of ecological resources. A variety of technologies, including satellite remote sensing, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, and big data, can build a smart environmental monitoring system. Remote sensing image classification is an important research content in ecological environmental monitoring. Remote sensing images contain rich spatial information and multi-temporal information, but also bring challenges such as difficulty in obtaining classification labels and low classification accuracy. To solve this problem, this study develops a transductive transfer dictionary learning (TTDL) algorithm. In the TTDL, the… More >

Abstract Skin cancer is one of the most dangerous cancer. Because of the high melanoma death rate, skin cancer is divided into non-melanoma and melanoma. The dermatologist finds it difficult to identify skin cancer from dermoscopy images of skin lesions. Sometimes, pathology and biopsy examinations are required for cancer diagnosis. Earlier studies have formulated computer-based systems for detecting skin cancer from skin lesion images. With recent advancements in hardware and software technologies, deep learning (DL) has developed as a potential technique for feature learning. Therefore, this study develops a new sand cat swarm optimization with a deep transfer learning method for… More >

Abstract Black fungus is a rare and dangerous mycology that usually affects the brain and lungs and could be life-threatening in diabetic cases. Recently, some COVID-19 survivors, especially those with co-morbid diseases, have been susceptible to black fungus. Therefore, recovered COVID-19 patients should seek medical support when they notice mucormycosis symptoms. This paper proposes a novel ensemble deep-learning model that includes three pre-trained models: reset (50), VGG (19), and Inception. Our approach is medically intuitive and efficient compared to the traditional deep learning models. An image dataset was aggregated from various resources and divided into two classes: a black fungus class… More >

Abstract Classification and monitoring of microalgae species in aquatic ecosystems are important for understanding population dynamics. However, manual classification of algae is a time-consuming method and requires a lot of effort with expertise due to the large number of families and genera in its classification. The recognition of microalgae species has become an increasingly important research area in image recognition in recent years. In this study, machine learning and deep learning methods were proposed to classify images of 12 different microalgae species in order to successfully classify algae cells. 8 Different novel models (MobileNetV3Small-Lr, MobileNetV3SmallRf, MobileNetV3Small-Xg, MobileNetV3Large-Lr, MobileNetV3Large-Rf, MobileNetV3Large-Xg, MobileNetV3Small-Improved and… More >

Abstract Through semi-supervised learning and knowledge inheritance, a novel Takagi-Sugeno-Kang (TSK) fuzzy system framework is proposed for epilepsy data classification in this study. The new method is based on the maximum mean discrepancy (MMD) method and TSK fuzzy system, as a basic model for the classification of epilepsy data. First, for medical data, the interpretability of TSK fuzzy systems can ensure that the prediction results are traceable and safe. Second, in view of the deviation in the data distribution between the real source domain and the target domain, MMD is used to measure the distance between dierent data distributions. The objective… More >

Abstract Spondylolisthesis is a chronic disease, and a timely diagnosis of it may help in avoiding surgery. Disease identification in x-ray radiographs is very challenging. Strengthening the feature extraction tool in VGG16 has improved the classification rate. But the fully connected layers of VGG16 are not efficient at capturing the positional structure of an object in images. Capsule network (CapsNet) works with capsules (neuron clusters) rather than a single neuron to grasp the properties of the provided image to match the pattern. In this study, an integrated model that is a combination of VGG16 and CapsNet (S-VCNet) is proposed. In the… More >
