Classification and analysis of Alzheimer's Disease using Deep Learning methods on MRI and PET
Alzheimer's disease (AD) falls in the category of neurodegenerative illness in which an individual loses his or her power to remember things and behaviors. It affects memory in younger patients and as it progresses causes diffuse cortical functions. However, a major issue with the diagnosis and treatment of AD symptoms is that it has complex pathogenesis because of which there is no clinical intervention for its treatment. There is no disease-modifying treatment to cure AD symptoms that increases co-morbidities among the patients. The present research identified this gap and focuses on using Deep Learning methods on MRI and PET data so that there is early diagnosis of AD by healthcare experts and they could propose a better treatment process for reducing AD symptoms. The present research identified that by using deep learning-based approaches particularly ResNet50 architecture, there is the execution of quantitative assessment of brain MRI and PET to acquire insights about the internal abnormalities through self-learning features. It will help in initiating proper treatment and avoiding damage to the brain further. 2022 IEEE. -

Comparison of Augmentation and Preprocessing Techniques for Improved Generalization Performance in Deep Learning based Chest X-Ray Classification
Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models are well known for image classification; however, the downside of CNN is the ineffectiveness to generalize and inclination towards over-fitting in case of a small train dataset. A balanced and sufficient data is thus essential to effectively train a CNN model, but this is not always possible, especially in the case of medical imaging data, as often patients with the same disease are not always available. Image augmentation addresses the given issue by creating new data points artificially with slight modifications. This study, investigates ten different methods with various parameters and probability and their combined effect on the test dataset's generalization performance and F1 Score. For the study, three pre-Trained CNN models, namely ResNetl8, ResNet34, and ResNet50, are fine tuned on a small training dataset of 500 Pneumonia and 160 Non-Pneumonia(Normal) Images for each augmentation setting. The test accuracy, F1 Score, and generalization performance were calculated for a test dataset consisting of 50 Pneumonia and 16 Non-Pneumonia(Normal) Images. 2022 IEEE. -

Multi-lingual Spam SMS detection using a hybrid deep learning technique
Nowadays, the incremental usage of mobile phones has made spam SMS messages a big concern. Sending malicious links through spam messages harms our mobile devices physically, and the attacker might have a chance to steal sensitive information from our devices. Various state-of-the-art research works have been proposed for SMS spam detection using feature-based, machine, and deep learning techniques. These approaches have specific limitations, such as extracting and selecting signifi-cant and quality features for efficient classification. Very few deep learning techniques are only used for classifying spam detection. Moreover, the benchmark spam datasets written in English are mostly used for evaluation. Very few papers have detected spam messages for other languages. Hence, this paper creates a multilingual SMS spam dataset and proposes a hybrid deep learning technique that combines the Convolutional Neural Network and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) model to classify the message dataset. The performance of this proposed hybrid model has been compared with the baseline deep learning models using accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score metrics. 2022 IEEE. -

Chaotic Binary Ant Lion Optimizer Approach for Feature Selection on Medical Datasets with COVID-19 Case Study
Binary version of the ant lion optimizer (ALO) are suggested and utilized in wrapper-mode to pick the best feature subset for classification. ALO is a recently developed bio-inspired optimization approach that mimics ant lion hunting behavior. Furthermore, ALO balances exploration and exploitation utilizing a unique operator to explore the space of solutions adaptively for the best solution. The difficulties of a plethora of noisy, irrelevant, and misleading features, as well as the capacity to deal with incorrect and inconsistent data in real-world subjects, provide rationale for feature selection to become one of the most important requirements. A difficult machine learning problem is to choose a subset of important characteristics from a vast number of features that characterize a dataset. Choosing the most informative markers and conducting a high-accuracy classification across the data may be a difficult process, especially if the data is complex. The feature selection task is usually expressed as a bio-objective optimization challenge, with the goal of enhancing the performance of the prediction model (data training fitting quality) while decreasing the number of features used. Various evaluation criteria are employed to determine the success of the suggested approach. The findings show that the suggested chaotic binary algorithm can explore the feature space for optimum feature set efficiently. 2022 IEEE. -
