Neutrosophic C-Means Clustering with Optimal Machine Learning Enabled Skin Lesion Segmentation and Classification

Early detection and classification of skin lesions using dermoscopic images have attracted significant attention in the healthcare sector. Automated skin lesion segmentation becomes tedious owing to the presence of artifacts like hair, skin line, etc. Earlier works have developed skin lesion detection models using clustering approaches. The advances in neutrosophic set (NS) models can be applied to derive effective clustering models for skin lesion segmentation. At the same time, artificial intelligence (AI) tools can be developed for the identification and categorization of skin cancer using dermoscopic images. This article introduces a Neutrosophic C-Means Clustering with Optimal Machine Learning Enabled Skin Lesion Segmentation and Classification (NCCOML-SKSC) model. The proposed NCCOML-SKSC model derives a NCC-based segmentation approach to segment the dermoscopic images. Besides, the AlexNet model is exploited to generate a feature vector. In the final stage, the optimal multilayer perceptron (MLP) model is utilized for the classification process in which the MLP parameters are chosen by the use of a whale optimization algorithm (WOA). A detailed experimental analysis of the NCCOML-SKSC model using a benchmark dataset is performed and the results highlighted the supremacy of the NCCOML-SKSC model over the recent approaches.

Neutrosophic-Based Multi-Objectives Model for Financial Risk Management

Financial organizations can no longer ignore the problem of managing risk. As a component of the financial system, efficient Financial Risk Management (FRM) may significantly affect business results. These findings show that the triangular neutrosophic numbers simulate capital asset key metrics. Performance metrics for capital assets may be modeled using this kind of value by accounting for all conceivable outcomes for their attainment. The profit on capital instruments, the risk of financial investments, and the covariance of capital instruments are the Key Performance Metrics (KPIs) modeled using triangular neutrosophic values. Specifically, this research employs two techniques. Prioritizing parameters for financial risk management dimensions using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Second, the performance evaluation of financial risk management was evaluated from the perspective of several groups of specialists by the COCOSO method to assess the ranking of possible replies further. By using the presented method, we may better identify where to put our efforts and how to allocate our resources for greater effectiveness in managing financial risks.

Apply Neutrosophic AHP Analysis of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the Internet of Behavior (IoB) in Smart Education

The concept of the "Internet of Things" (IoT) has emerged in recent years to describe our increasingly interconnected physical world. Even if there are now goods on the market that are connected to the Internet of Things, there are still obstacles to be addressed, such as security concerns and a general lack of trust in and familiarity with the technology. The purpose of this research is to examine what goes into making a good Internet of Things (IoT) system for smart education that deals with IoT. In this research, we use neutrosophic theory and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to create a decision-support system based on rules for assessing the impactful elements of the Internet of Things in smart education. According to the results of this investigation, security, value, and connectivity are more crucial than intangible qualities (Telepresence and Intelligence). This research suggests that the internet of behavior (IoB) and a sustainable Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem requires strong IoT security measures to be implemented once smart education has established a reliable IoT connection. Likewise, smart education needs to think about the benefits of IoT security and IoT ethics for the goods they use and the comfort of their staff.

Neutrosophic Borda method

In this paper we introduce and then study the general concept of neutrosophic Borda method. The idea is to combine Borda count (in one of its most typical versions) with neutrosophic sets (which allow us to deal with uncertainty in a very broad sense). We show the whole algorithm which is then illustrated with some numerical examples. Finally, we discuss several possible extensions of the proposed method. For example, we present neutrosophic approach to the problem of weights.

Neutrosophic Statistics for Social Science

Social Science deals with the study of phenomena related to the social status of human beings. The importance of such sciences lies in the fact that they make it possible to know, predict, modify and improve the functioning of human societies today. Due to the great complexity of modern societies, it is virtually impossible to have accurate data or knowledge about any contemporary society. That is why neutrosophic theory is suitable for representing and modeling the data from studies on any social sciences. They may contain data that is contradictory, incomplete, inaccurate, vague, and so on. In particular, neutrosophic statistics generalizes classical statistics to interval-valued data. Since classical statistics are of great importance for the study of Social Sciences. We will emphasize the Legal Sciences in our approach

Neutrosophic Image Segmentation: An Approach for the Treatment of Uncertainty in Multimodal Information Systems

Information explosion in this era has led to the proliferation of digital data in form of images, text, video, and audio. Uncertainty is a major issue in information access and retrieval models, and incomplete information needs to be treated in information systems because imprecision indicates the existence of a value that cannot be measured. There is no denial of the fact that uncertainty puts a hindrance in obtaining information in real-time systems, and as per knowledge rarely does any study of information retrieval using image segmentation treat imprecise and inconsistent information inherited in information systems. This work proposes to transform images in the neutrosophic domain for the treatment of uncertainty that persists in information recovery. Later, the image is segmented using the neutrosophic segmentation algorithm and its results are compared with the Modified Fuzzy c-Means segmentation algorithm, which is the earlier used segmentation algorithm in information systems. The experiment is conducted on a variety of multimodal images from the Berkeley Segmentation Dataset and Benchmark, showing the effectiveness of the proposed method for information systems. The proposed image segmentation using neutrosophy seems to yield a smaller error of 0.011, but the error obtained using the fuzzy c-means (MFCM) method is 0.13, which is larger than the proposed approach. The work also demonstrates how well neutrosophic segmentation can segment images having different noise levels as well as clean images. The results show that the proposed algorithm yields the most accurate segmented image for feature extraction which can be utilized while designing effective information systems.

Spatial Convolution Splines for Multivariate Spatial Data

The Spatial Convolution Splines Multivariate Regression Model (SCSMRM) were used on the data represented a diabetes disease measurements across different regions in Iraq (Basrah, Baghdad, Babylon, Sulaimanya) while considering multiple risk factors such as age, BMI, weight , income, education level, blood pressure for the same geographic location  for (200) patient, and  combine the health data with the risk factor data to create a comprehensive dataset. Each record in the dataset should include the geographic location, diabetes status, and values for each risk factor we applied (SCSMRM), the results showed that significant the model and the risk factors studied in the model explain 61% of the changes that occur in the diabetes. It also showed the significance of the factors (age - weight - body mass index (BMI) - educational level - blood pressure) and the non-significance of the variable (income), and these results are consistent with the actual reality of the disease.

Analyzing the impact of social factors on homelessness with neutrosophic cognitive maps

Homeless people are marginalized because they lack the resources necessary to participate in mainstream culture. It is not unusual to come across homeless persons in the streets of Quito, Ecuador, particularly in the downtown area. Society often refers to them as the unaccepted, the outcasts, the marginalized, and the homeless. Being a victim of aggressiveness is not an inevitable part of life on the streets. Still, unfortunately, we are seeing more and more instances of it being shown nearly every day. Many groups work to alleviate this problem by providing aid or enhancing the quality of life for these individuals. The goal of this study is to aid in strengthening the work of such institutions by providing a rationale for why so many crimes are decided to commit even against the homeless and how these institutions can better equip themselves to deal with the issue, as well as by providing tasks to assist direct the Homeless toward the Good Having to live Plan. A  cognitive map of neutrosophic causes and effects was constructed.
