Robust Multimodal Fusion of Transfer Learning Framework for Leukemia Cancer Detection and Classification using Biomedical Images

Leukemia is a form of blood cancer that targets white blood cells (WBC) and stands as a major cause of mortality worldwide. During the center of human bones, leukaemia is presented and provides blood cell generation with leukocytes and WBC, and if some cell comes to be blasted, then it grows a fatal illness. For that reason, the analysis of leukaemia in its initial stages aids significantly in the treatment accompanied by saving the life. At present, leukemia analysis is done by visual assessment of biomedical images of blood cells, which is time-consuming, tedious, and wants to train specialists. Consequently, the lack of an early, automatic, and effectual leukemia recognition model is a major problem in hospitals. A few automated techniques like deep learning (DL) and Machine learning (ML) methodologies for leukemia cancer identification are presented that offer remarkable and effectual results. This study develops a Robust Multimodal Fusion of Transfer Learning Framework for Leukemia Cancer Detection and Classification (RMFTLF-LCDC) algorithm. The RMFTLF-LCDC system mostly suggests identifying and classifying the existence of leukemia cancer on biomedical imaging. At first, the RMFTLF-LCDC model applies image preprocessing using a kernel correlation filter (KCF) to eliminate the noise. For the feature extraction process, the multimodal fusion of CapsNet models, including RES-CapsNet, VGG-CapsNet, and GN-CapsNet are implemented to improve the representation of features by providing more accurate initial information to subsequent capsule layers. In addition, the recurrent spiking neural network with the spiking convolutional block attention module (RSNN-CBAM) technique is performed for the leukemia cancer detection process. At last, the improved Harris hawk optimization (IHHO) approach-based hyperparameter choice can be executed to improve the classification outcomes of the RSNN-CBAM system. The efficiency of the RMFTLF-LCDC method has been validated by comprehensive studies using the benchmark image dataset. The numerical result shows that the RMFTLF-LCDC method has better performance and scalability across other recent techniques.

Feature Selection based on Improved Differential Evolution (DE) Algorithm for E-mail Classification

Spam e-mail has become a pervasive nuisance in today's digital world, posing significant challenges to efficient communication and information dissemination. Dealing with huge amounts of data with irrelevant and redundant features, which leads to high dimension. Nowadays, with the growth of using the internet, finding the secure E-mail classification system for cloud computing is a very important topic. Additionally, determining the best algorithm for choosing a subset of features has a big impact on how well automatic email classification works, making it one of the major issues. Among these is the Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm, which is computationally costly because of the slow convergence rate and evolutionary process. To address these issues, this study offers an intelligent scheme called Opposition Differential Evolution (ODE), which combines the Opposition Based Learning (OBL) and DE algorithms for effective automated feature subset selection. Its effectiveness is assessed using the support vector machine (SVM) to present a strong performance when evaluating the e-mail spam classification rate. Moreover, the OBL is used to accelerate and increase the convergence rate of traditional DE. To determine which features, contribute most to the reliability of the email spam classification, the subset features based on ODE that was used as feature subset selection are used.To assess the effectiveness of the proposed scheme, extensive experiments are conducted on spambase” and “spamassassin” benchmark email datasets, comprising a diverse collection of spam and non-spam emails. The results demonstrate that the Opposition Differential Evolution (ODE) algorithm yields superior performance compared to traditional machine learning and evolutionary techniques, displaying its robustness and efficiency in identifying spam emails accurately. The ODE algorithm effectively handles high-dimensional feature spaces, enhancing the model's discriminatory power while maintaining computational efficiency. Compared to the suggested ODE-SVM technique, which yields a result of 96.79 percent, the full-feature accuracy result was 93.55 percent. Additionally, empirical results demonstrate that our scheme may efficiently increase the number of features needed to improve the accuracy of the email spam classification.

Deep Learning-Based Steganalysis for Detection and Classification of Possible Hidden Content in Images

Steganalysis can be defined as the science that addresses the process of identifying and detecting hidden information or data within various types of digital media. Recently, Deep Learning (DL) approaches have been employed to build steganalysis systems. However, the problem with steganalysis systems adopting a DL approach is their low accuracy and their need for effective datasets to be used for the training. In this paper, we introduce a DL-based Steganalysis system for the detection and classification of hidden content in images. Our system, called Steg-Analysis Convolutional Neural Network (SA-CNN), relies on a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and uses High Pass Filter (HPF) and extra-embedded data. We also propose a preprocessing-based data hiding method to increase the accuracy of SA-CNN in detecting hidden content. Therefore, this ensures the imperceptibility of images used for training SA-CNN. In addition, we use another CNN, called Malicious-Benign Classification CNN (MBC-CNN), that we have developed to classify the extracted hidden content into Malicious or Benign classes. Compared with existing systems, SA-CNN shows a better performance in terms of accuracy, under increased hiding rates ranging from 0.1 to 1.0 bpp, reaching 90%.

An inventive deep learning-based method for identifying financial fraud, revolutionizing e-commerce security in the process. The research offers a state-of-the-art setup that makes use of deep learning computations in the dynamic world of online exchanges, where the possibility of fraudulent activity is a danger. Since frauds are known to be erratic and lack consistency, it might be challenging to spot them. Con artists exploit the latest developments in technology. They manage to evade security measures, which results in millions of dollars being lost. One method of tracking fraudulent exchanges is to use information-mining techniques to investigate and detect unusual behaviours. Interactions. In contrast to deep learning techniques as auto encoders, convolutional neural networks (CNN), restricted Boltzmann machines (RBM), and deep belief networks (DBN), this paper aims to benchmark several machine-learning techniques, such as k-nearest neighbour (KNN), irregular forest, and support vector machines (SVM). The three-evaluation metrics that are really employed are the Area Under the ROC Curve (AUC), the Matthews Correlation Coefficient (MCC), and the Cost of Failure.

Smart Energy Transactions in Vehicle-to-Grid Networks: A Deep Q-Network Approach with Blockchain

Electric vehicles (EVs) have gained significant traction due to their environmental benefits and potential to revolutionize the transportation sector. Integrating EVs into the Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) network presents an innovative solution for optimizing energy transactions and grid stability. However, managing energy transactions during peak hours poses a challenge. This research proposes a novel approach that combines the Deep Q-Network (DQN) algorithm with block chain technology to enhance energy transactions in the V2G network. In this study, a V2G network model is introduced consisting of EVs, charging stations, a grid control center, and a block chain infrastructure. The block chain ensures transparency, security, and decentralized energy transactions. The DQN algorithm learns optimal action policies based on current states and rewards, contributing to grid stability. To incentivize EV owners for peak-hour energy contributions, a block chain-enabled rewarding mechanism is implemented. The proposed methodology is rigorously evaluated through simulations conducted in a custom environment that emulates V2G network dynamics. Performance metrics such as load shifting efficiency, peak demand reduction, and energy efficiency are employed for comprehensive assessment. The proposed method showcases superior performance compared to traditional load shifting and demand response strategies. Furthermore, comparative analyses are conducted against different state-of-the-art methods, demonstrating the effectiveness of our approach. The results underscore the potential of integrating DQN-based energy management with block chain technology to achieve grid stability and incentivize sustainable energy behaviors. This research contributes to the advancement of smart grid technologies, paving the way for a more sustainable and efficient energy ecosystem.

Fusion Model of Quantum Wavelet Transform and Neural Network for Video Coding on the Internet of Things Environment

Solving the video compression problem requires a multi-faceted approach, balancing quality, efficiency, and computational demands. By leveraging advancements in technology and adapting to the evolving needs of video applications, it is possible to develop compression methods that meet the challenges of the present and future digital landscape. To address these objectives, machine learning and AI approaches can be utilized to predict and remove redundancies more effectively, optimizing compression algorithms dynamically based on content. Still, state-of-the art neural network-based video compression models need large and diverse datasets to generalize well across different types of video content. Wavelets can provide both time (spatial) and frequency localization, making them highly effective for video compression. This dual localization allows wavelet transforms to handle both rapid changes in video content and slow-moving scenes efficiently, leading to better compression ratios. Yet, some wavelet coefficients may be more critical for maintaining visual quality than others. Inaccurate quantization can lead to noticeable degradation. For the first time, the suggested model combine Quantum Wavelet Transform (QWT) and Neural Networks (NN) for video compression. This fusion model aims to achieve higher compression ratios, maintain video quality, and reduce computational complexity by utilizing QWT’s efficient data representation and NN’s powerful pattern recognition and predictive capabilities. Quantum bits (qubits) can encode large amounts of information in their quantum states, enabling more efficient data representation. This is especially useful for encoding large video files. Furthermore, quantum entanglement allows for correlated data representation across qubits, which can be exploited to capture intricate details and redundancies in video data more effectively than classical methods. The experimental results reveal that QWT achieves a compression ratio of almost twice that of traditional WT for the same video, maintaining superior visual quality due to more efficient redundancy elimination.

Social Media Data Analysis for Enhancing Student Evaluation of Teaching Styles

In the realm of education, understanding the impact of different teaching styles on student engagement and satisfaction is essential. Recent advancements in sentiment analysis provide new avenues for evaluating student feedback, particularly through informal channels such as social media. While formal student evaluations offer structured feedback on teaching styles, they may not fully capture the nuanced opinions and sentiments expressed by students in informal settings, such as social media. This research aims to address the gap by integrating sentiment analysis of social media data to evaluate teaching effectiveness across various styles and comparing it with formal evaluation results. This study employs sentiment analysis using the VADER (Valence Aware Dictionary and sEntiment Reasoner) tool to analyze student posts on social media platforms. The analysis includes the extraction of sentiment distributions, identification of common keywords, and tracking of sentiment trends over time. Additionally, formal student evaluations (Likert scale) are collected to offer a direct comparison. The teaching styles analyzed include lecture-based teaching, project-based learning, flipped classrooms, online learning, hybrid learning, and traditional exam-based learning. The findings demonstrate that student sentiment varies significantly across teaching styles. Flipped classrooms and project-based learning received the highest positive sentiment scores, while traditional exam-based teaching showed the most negative sentiment. Social media feedback tended to align with formal evaluations for certain teaching styles, such as the flipped classroom and hybrid learning but showed divergence in others, like online learning, which received higher sentiment in social media feedback. Trends over time reveal evolving sentiments, with fluctuating satisfaction as the academic semester progressed. The integration of social media sentiment analysis provides a more dynamic and real-time understanding of student experiences, offering deeper insights into teaching style effectiveness.

EEG-based Epileptic Seizure Detection Using DconvNET

Epilepsy is a neural condition that is rather prevalent and affects a sizeable portion of the average population all over the world. Throughout its history, the illness has constantly be located of significant status in the pitch of biomedicine due to the dangers it poses to people's health. Electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings are a method that may be utilized to evaluate epilepsy, which is defined by the occurrence of seizures that occur repeatedly and without any apparent cause. Electroencephalography, often known as EEG, is a method that is utilized to assess the electric movement located within the brain. The examination of electroencephalogram data is an essential component in the field of epilepsy research, since it allows for the early detection of epileptic episodes. On the other hand, the generation of models that are independent of individual characteristics is a significant challenge. Extensive efforts have been directed to the creation of classifiers that are tailored to specific patients. In this thesis, the cross-patient viewpoint is the primary focus of investigation; nevertheless, the heterogeneity of EEG patterns among people presents a challenge to this investigation. An examination of the similarities and differences of the pattern recognition algorithms that are applied for the diagnosis of epileptic episodes based on EEG data was taken. SVM (Support Vector Machine) and KNN (K-Nearest Neighbor) were the approaches that were under consideration for evaluation. According to the findings of our analysis, the two approaches exhibit comparable levels of performance; however, KNN attained a slightly greater level of accuracy in some situations on occasion.

Enhanced EEG Signal Classification Using Machine Learning and Optimization Algorithm

This paper proposes a better solution for EEG-based brain language signals classification, it is using machine learning and optimization algorithms. This project aims to replace the brain signal classification for language processing tasks by achieving the higher accuracy and speed process. Features extraction is performed using a modified Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) in this study which increases the capability of capturing signal characteristics appropriately by decomposing EEG signals into significant frequency components. A Gray Wolf Optimization (GWO) algorithm method is applied to improve the results and select the optimal features which achieves more accurate results by selecting impactful features with maximum relevance while minimizing redundancy. This optimization process improves the performance of the classification model in general. In case of classification, the Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Neural Network (NN) hybrid model is presented. This combines an SVM classifier's capacity to manage functions in high dimensional space, as well as a neural network capacity to learn non-linearly with its feature (pattern learning). The model was trained and tested on an EEG dataset and performed a classification accuracy of 97%, indicating the robustness and efficacy of our method. The results indicate that this improved classifier is able to be used in brain–computer interface systems and neurologic evaluations. The combination of machine learning and optimization techniques has established this paradigm as a highly effective way to pursue further research in EEG signal processing for brain language recognition.
