Abstract

Accurate malaria detection is crucial for effective disease management, particularly in regions with limited medical resources. Deep learning models have shown promising results in automated diagnosis, yet real-world deployment often faces challenges such as computational cost and model interpretability. This study evaluates multiple deep learning architectures—VGG16, ResNet50, InceptionV3, MobileNetV2, and DenseNet121—on the publicly available National Institutes of Health (NIH) malaria cell image dataset (27,558 images), and enhances their performance using stacking ensemble learning with different meta-learners. Among individual models, DenseNet121 achieved the highest accuracy of 88.00%, while MobileNetV2 had the lowest at 84.80%. Implementing stacking with logistic regression as the meta-learner improved accuracy to 89.40%, while random forest increased it to 90.10%. The best performance was achieved with XGBoost as the meta-learner, attaining an accuracy of 91.20%, precision of 92.10%, recall of 90.80%, and an F1-score of 91.40%—representing a 3.2% accuracy improvement over the best individual model. The classification report further confirms superior performance in distinguishing infected and uninfected cases. These results highlight the potential of stacking with advanced meta-learners to support health workers in rapid, reliable malaria diagnosis, ultimately aiding timely treatment, and improving patient outcomes in clinical and field settings.

Abstract

The growing reliance on renewable energy has intensified the need for accurate solar power forecasting to support efficient grid operation and energy planning. However, reliable prediction remains challenging due to the strong dependence of solar power output on dynamic meteorological conditions. This study proposes a data-driven machine learning (ML) framework for high-precision solar power prediction across several major Indian metro cities. Using hourly weather and power generation data for the year 2023, a random forest regressor was developed to model complex non linear relationships between environmental variables and solar energy output. The proposed model achieved exceptional predictive performance, with an R² score of 0.9999 and a mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.15 kW, significantly outperforming conventional regression approaches. Feature contribution analysis revealed solar radiation as the dominant factor influencing power generation, while cloud cover and elevated temperatures exhibited negative effects. The key contribution of this work lies in demonstrating the robustness and generalizability of ensemble learning for urban-scale solar forecasting under diverse climatic conditions. The findings provide actionable insights for policymakers, grid operators, and energy planners to optimize solar integration and resource management.
