Abstract

Breast cancer is an important topic in medical image analysis because it is a high-risk disease and the leading cause of death in women. Early detection of breast cancer improves treatment outcomes, which can be achieved by identifying it using mammography images. Computer-aided diagnostic systems detect and classify medical images of breast lesions, allowing radiologists to make accurate diagnoses. Deep learning algorithms improved the performance of these diagnoses systems. We utilized efficient deep learning approaches to propose a system that can detect breast cancer in mammograms. The proposed approach adopted relies on two main elements: improving image contrast to enhance marginal information and extracting discriminatory features sufficient to improve overall classification quality, these improvements achieved based on a new model from scratch to focus on enhancing the accuracy and reliability of breast cancer detection. The model trained on the digital database for screening mammography (DDSM) dataset and compared with different convolutional neural network (CNN) models, namely EfficientNetB1, EfficientNetB5, ResNet-50, and ResNet101. Moreover, to enhance the feature selection process, we have integrated adam optimizer in our methodology. In evaluation, the proposed method achieved 96.5% accuracy across the dataset. These results show the effectiveness of this method in identifying breast cancer through images.

Abstract

The development and integration of medical information systems into a unified information space is a significant focus in the field of information technologies. It is essential to develop decision support systems (DSS) to enhance the effectiveness of medical and diagnostic procedures. This article presents a novel decision support tool for speech therapists, which is based on fuzzy cognitive maps (FCM). The latter is a method of modeling complex systems using knowledge of human existence and experience. The proposed tool is composed of three phases. The first phase focuses on entering patient information into the graphical interface developed in JAVA based on the most precise observations. An FCM will be automatically constructed, describing the type of disorder and the patient’s case during the second phase. Finally, in the third phase, FCM-based scenarios were built during the execution of the inference process under FCM expert. The system is presented and demonstrated using a real cases study for eight weeks. The results show that the tool makes it possible to display, guide, assist, and confirm the medical decision of the speech therapist for an appropriate diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract

Soil moisture, defined as the amount of water present in the spaces between soil particles, plays a critical role in plant growth. Excessive soil moisture can lead to issues such as root rot, deviating from the ideal conditions required for root absorption. To address this, we developed a prototype tool using the YL-69 soil moisture sensor to monitor and control the soil moisture levels in Agarwood/Gaharu tree planting media. The prototype was designed to activate a water pump when soil moisture exceeded 80%, ensuring optimal humidity for plant growth. Once the moisture level dropped below 80%, the pump was deactivated to prevent overwatering. The YL-69 sensor demonstrated an accuracy of 88.76% under controlled conditions. This study highlights the potential of using low-cost sensors for automated soil moisture management in small-scale Gaharu cultivation.

Abstract

The initial step in determining the number of principal components for both classification and regression involves evaluating how much each component contributes to the total variance in the data. Based on this analysis, a subset of components that explains the highest percentage of variance is typically selected. However, multiple valid combinations may exist, and the final choice is often made manually by the researcher. This study introduces a novel yet straightforward algorithm for the automatic selection of the number of principal components. By integrating ANOVA and bootstrapping with principal component analysis (PCA), the proposed method enables automatic component selection in classification tasks. The algorithm is evaluated using three publicly available datasets and applied with both decision tree and support vector machine (SVM) classifiers. Results indicate that this automated procedure not only eliminates researcher bias in selecting components but also improves classification accuracy. Unlike traditional methods, it selects a single optimal combination of principal components without manual intervention, offering a new and efficient approach to PCAbased model development.

Abstract

Using a physics informed neural network for the analysis of geopolymers as an alternate material for cement can be a viable approach, as neural networks are capable of modeling complex, nonlinear relationships in data, which can be beneficial for representing the dynamics of chemical properties. If you have a substantial amount of theoretical data, a neural network can learn patterns and relationships in the data, even when the underlying system dynamics are not well-defined or are difficult to model analytically. A welltrained neural network can generalize from the training data to make predictions for unseen scenarios, which can be useful for real-time analysis of the material.

Abstract

Sentiment analysis is essential for deciphering public opinion, guiding decisions, and refining marketing strategies. It plays a crucial role in monitoring public sentiment, fostering customer engagement, and enhancing relationships with businesses' target audiences by analyzing emotional tones and attitudes in vast textual data. Sentiment analysis is extremely limited, particularly for languages like Tamil, due to limited application in diverse linguistic contexts with fewer resources. Given its global impact and linguistic diversity, addressing this gap is crucial for a more nuanced understanding of sentiments in India. In the context of Tamil, the need for sentiment analysis models is particularly crucial due to its status as one of the classical languages spoken by millions. The cultural, social, and historical nuances embedded in Tamil language usage require tailored sentiment analysis approaches that can capture the subtleties of sentiment expression. This paper introduces a novel method that assesses the performance of various text embedding methods in conjunction with a range of machine learning (ML) algorithms to enhance sentiment classification for Tamil text, with a specific focus on lyrics. Experiments notably emphasize FastText word embedding as the most effective method, showcasing superior results with a remarkable 78% accuracy when coupled with the support vector classification (SVC) model.
