Abstract

Deep learning (DL) is a subfield of artificial intelligence (AI) used in several sectors, such as cybersecurity, finance, marketing, automated vehicles, and medicine. Due to the advancement of computer performance, DL has become very successful. In recent years, it has processed large amounts of data, and achieved good results, especially in image analysis such as segmentation and classification. Manual evaluation of tumors, based on medical images, requires expensive human labor and can easily lead to misdiagnosis of tumors. Researchers are interested in using DL algorithms for automatic tumor diagnosis. convolutional neural network (CNN) is one such algorithm. It is suitable for medical image classification tasks. In this paper, we will focus on the development of four sequential CNN models to classify brain tumors in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images. We followed two steps, the first being data preprocessing and the second being automatic classification of preprocessed images using CNN. The experiments were conducted on a dataset of 3,000 MRI images, divided into two classes: tumor and normal. We obtained a good accuracy of 98,27%, which outperforms other existing models.

Abstract

Currently, voice activity detection (VAD) is utilized in many fields, including forensics, healthcare, and medicine, to detect vocal anomalies, as well as in telecommunications and mobile telephony. Due to its importance and the difficulty of distinguishing between speech and nonspeech segments, especially in noisy environments (low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)), this area remains under continuous development. Most existing VAD algorithms require predefined thresholds or training data, which reduces their compatibility. This study proposes an unsupervised VAD system that utilizes the Katz algorithm to calculate the fractal dimension of envelopes obtained through a single frequency filtering (SFF) approach. This method allows for high temporal and frequency resolution. The proposed VAD algorithm does not require any training data and is suitable for various types of noise and SNRs. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method, two different databases are used: the Texas Instruments Massachusetts Institute of Technology (TIMIT) database and the King Saud University (KSU) Arabic speech database. The experimental results reveal an average detection accuracy of 96.86%, demonstrating its considerable value in various applications.
