Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the deadliest infectious disease in the world. TB is caused by a type of tubercle bacillus called Mycobacterium Tuberculosis. Early detection of TB is pivotal to decrease the morbidity and mortality. TB is diagnosed by using the chest x-ray and a sputum test. Challenges for radiologists are to avoid confused and misdiagnose TB and lung cancer because they mimic each other. Semi-automated TB detection using machine learning found in the literature requires identification of objects of interest. The similarity of tissues, veins and small nodules presenting the image at the initial stage may hamper the detection. In this paper, an approach to detect TB, that does not require segmentation of objects of interest, based on ensemble deep learning, is presented. Evaluation on publicly available datasets show that the proposed approach produced a model that recorded the best accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of 91.0%, 89.6% and 90.7% respectively.

Abstract

Sentiment analysis is directed at identifying people's opinions, beliefs, views and emotions in the context of the entities and attributes that appear in text. The presence of sarcasm, however, can significantly hamper sentiment analysis. In this paper a sentiment classification framework is presented that incorporates sarcasm detection. The framework was evaluated using a non-linear Support Vector Machine and Malay social media data. The results obtained demonstrated that the proposed sarcasm detection process could successfully detect the presence of sarcasm in that better sentiment classification performance was recorded. A best average F-measure score of 0.905 was recorded using the framework; a significantly better result than when sentiment classification was performed without sarcasm detection.

Abstract

Red, green, blue–depth (RGB-D) salient object detection (SOD) focuses on identifying visually prominent objects by simulating human visual perception. While existing RGB-D SOD methods have demonstrated results, there remain challenges in effectively leveraging extrinsic cues and enhancing feature representation. To address these limitations, novel RGB-D SOD model with local feature extraction and semantic segmentation (LFSS) is introduced, which is built on an encoder-decoder architecture. The encoder preprocesses the input images by merging RGB and depth data through a channel and spatial attention (CSA) module. A local feature extraction module further refines this fusion. The decoder consists of three key modules: i) the multi-feature extraction (MFE) module enhances base features through diverse convolutional operations; ii) the semantic segmentation enhancement (SSE) module optimizes features via spatial pyramid pooling and atrous convolution; and iii) the local/global agreement and edge detection (LGE) module that enables multi-level feature interaction and edge detection. These modules work sequentially to enhance and extract salient objects. LFSS is evaluated on six standard RGB-D SOD datasets (NJU2K, NLPR, STERE, LFSD, SSD, SIP) by four metrics, outperforming the comparison models with up to 1.2% F-measure improvement. LFSS is found to be a versatile model, offering valuable applications in engineering.

Abstract

Preeclampsia is a major pregnancy complication that substantially contributes to maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide, making early identification of risk factors essential for effective prevention and timely clinical intervention. This study evaluates the performance of ensemble learning models by comparing bagging and boosting techniques to develop an accurate early prediction system for preeclampsia risk using clinical medical record data. The research follows the Cross-Industry Standard Process for Data Mining (CRISP-DM) framework, encompassing data understanding, data preparation, modeling, evaluation, and interpretation. The dataset was obtained from RSUD Inche Abdoel Moeis Samarinda and underwent preprocessing procedures, including data cleaning, transformation, feature encoding, normalization, and Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique (SMOTE) to address class imbalance. Six ensemble learning algorithms were evaluated, consisting of Random Forest, Extra Trees, and Rotation Forest as bagging methods, and XGBoost, LightGBM, and CatBoost as boosting methods. Model performance was assessed using accuracy, precision, recall, and weighted F1-score. The experimental results demonstrate that Random Forest achieved the highest predictive performance, with an accuracy of 0.92, precision of 0.93, recall of 0.92, and weighted F1-score of 0.91, indicating superior robustness and generalization capability. Extra Trees achieved comparable accuracy (0.92) but exhibited lower prediction stability across evaluation metrics. Among the boosting algorithms, LightGBM and CatBoost each obtained an accuracy of 0.89, while XGBoost achieved 0.88. Rotation Forest recorded the lowest accuracy (0.62), suggesting limited suitability for this clinical dataset. These findings indicate that bagging-based ensemble methods, particularly Random Forest, outperform boosting techniques for imbalanced clinical data and provide strong empirical support for developing reliable Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) for early preeclampsia screening and risk assessment in healthcare settings
