Efficient heart disease prediction‐based on optimal feature selection using DFCSS and classification by improved Elman‐SFO

Prediction of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a critical challenge in the area of clinical data analysis. In this study, an efficient heart disease prediction is developed based on optimal feature selection. Initially, the data pre‐processing process is performed using data cleaning, data transformation, missing values imputation, and data normalisation. Then the decision function‐based chaotic salp swarm (DFCSS) algorithm is used to select the optimal features in the feature selection process. Then the chosen attributes are given to the improved Elman neural network (IENN) for data classification. Here, the sailfish optimisation (SFO) algorithm is used to compute the optimal weight value of IENN. The combination of DFCSS–IENN‐based SFO (IESFO) algorithm effectively predicts heart disease. The proposed (DFCSS–IESFO) approach is implemented in the Python environment using two different datasets such as the University of California Irvine (UCI) Cleveland heart disease dataset and CVD dataset. The simulation results proved that the proposed scheme achieved a high‐classification accuracy of 98.7% for the CVD dataset and 98% for the UCI dataset compared to other classifiers, such as support vector machine, K‐nearest neighbour, Elman neural network, Gaussian Naive Bayes, logistic regression, random forest, and decision tree.Inspec keywords: cardiovascular system, medical diagnostic computing, feature extraction, regression analysis, data mining, learning (artificial intelligence), Bayes methods, neural nets, support vector machines, diseases, pattern classification, data handling, decision trees, cardiology, data analysis, feature selectionOther keywords: efficient heart disease prediction‐based, optimal feature selection, improved Elman‐SFO, cardiovascular disease, clinical data analysis, data pre‐processing process, data cleaning, data transformation, values imputation, data normalisation, decision function‐based chaotic salp swarm algorithm, optimal features, feature selection process, improved Elman neural network, data classification, sailfish optimisation algorithm, optimal weight value, DFCSS–IENN‐based SFO algorithm, DFCSS–IESFO, California Irvine Cleveland heart disease dataset, CVD dataset, high‐classification accuracy     

An intelligent IoT with cloud centric medical decision support system for chronic kidney disease prediction

At present days, Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud platforms become widely used in various healthcare applications. The enormous quantity of data produced by the IoT devices in the healthcare sector can be examined on the cloud platform instead of dependent on restricted storage and computation resources exist in the mobile gadgets. For offering effective medicinal services, in this article, an online medical decision support system (OMDSS) is introduced for chronic kidney disease (CKD) prediction. The presented model involves a set of stages namely data gathering, preprocessing, and classification of medical data for the prediction of CKD. For classification, logistic regression (LR) model is applied for classifying the data instances into CKD and non-CKD. In addition, for tuning the parameters of LR, Adaptive Moment Estimation (Adam), and adaptive learning rate optimization algorithm is applied. The performance of the introduced model is examined using a benchmark CKD dataset. The experimental outcome observed the superior characteristics of the presented model on the applied dataset.     

Imbalanced Data Classification Using SVM Based on Improved Simulated Annealing Featuring Synthetic Data Generation and Reduction

Imbalanced data classification is one of the major problems in machine learning. This imbalanced dataset typically has significant differences in the number of data samples between its classes. In most cases, the performance of the machine learning algorithm such as Support Vector Machine (SVM) is affected when dealing with an imbalanced dataset. The classification accuracy is mostly skewed toward the majority class and poor results are exhibited in the prediction of minority-class samples. In this paper, a hybrid approach combining data pre-processing technique and SVM algorithm based on improved Simulated Annealing (SA) was proposed. Firstly, the data pre-processing technique which primarily aims at solving the resampling strategy of handling imbalanced datasets was proposed. In this technique, the data were first synthetically generated to equalize the number of samples between classes and followed by a reduction step to remove redundancy and duplicated data. Next is the training of a balanced dataset using SVM. Since this algorithm requires an iterative process to search for the best penalty parameter during training, an improved SA algorithm was proposed for this task. In this proposed improvement, a new acceptance criterion for the solution to be accepted in the SA algorithm was introduced to enhance the accuracy of the optimization process. Experimental works based on ten publicly available imbalanced datasets have demonstrated higher accuracy in the classification tasks using the proposed approach in comparison with the conventional implementation of SVM. Registering at an average of 89.65% of accuracy for the binary class classification has demonstrated the good performance of the proposed works.     

Deep Learning and Machine Learning for Early Detection of Stroke and Haemorrhage

Stroke and cerebral haemorrhage are the second leading causes of death in the world after ischaemic heart disease. In this work, a dataset containing medical, physiological and environmental tests for stroke was used to evaluate the efficacy of machine learning, deep learning and a hybrid technique between deep learning and machine learning on the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) dataset for cerebral haemorrhage. In the first dataset (medical records), two features, namely, diabetes and obesity, were created on the basis of the values of the corresponding features. The t-Distributed Stochastic Neighbour Embedding algorithm was applied to represent the high-dimensional dataset in a low-dimensional data space. Meanwhile,the Recursive Feature Elimination algorithm (RFE) was applied to rank the features according to priority and their correlation to the target feature and to remove the unimportant features. The features are fed into the various classification algorithms, namely, Support Vector Machine (SVM), K Nearest Neighbours (KNN), Decision Tree, Random Forest, and Multilayer Perceptron. All algorithms achieved superior results. The Random Forest algorithm achieved the best performance amongst the algorithms; it reached an overall accuracy of 99%. This algorithm classified stroke cases with Precision, Recall and F1 score of 98%, 100% and 99%, respectively. In the second dataset, the MRI image dataset was evaluated by using the AlexNet model and AlexNet + SVM hybrid technique. The hybrid model AlexNet + SVM performed is better than the AlexNet model; it reached accuracy, sensitivity, specificity and Area Under the Curve (AUC) of 99.9%, 100%, 99.80% and 99.86%, respectively.     

M-IDM: A Multi-Classification Based Intrusion Detection Model in Healthcare IoT

In recent years, the application of a smart city in the healthcare sector via loT systems has continued to grow exponentially and various advanced network intrusions have emerged since these loT devices are being connected. Previous studies focused on security threat detection and blocking technologies that rely on testbed data obtained from a single medical IoT device or simulation using a well-known dataset, such as the NSL-KDD dataset. However, such approaches do not reflect the features that exist in real medical scenarios, leading to failure in potential threat detection. To address this problem, we proposed a novel intrusion classification architecture known as a Multi-class Classification based Intrusion Detection Model (M-IDM), which typically relies on data collected by real devices and the use of convolutional neural networks (i.e., it exhibits better performance compared with conventional machine learning algorithms, such as naïve Bayes, support vector machine (SVM)). Unlike existing studies, the proposed architecture employs the actual healthcare IoT environment of National Cancer Center in South Korea and actual network data from real medical devices, such as a patient’s monitors (i.e., electrocardiogram and thermometers). The proposed architecture classifies the data into multiple classes: Critical, informal, major, and minor, for intrusion detection. Further, we experimentally evaluated and compared its performance with those of other conventional machine learning algorithms, including naïve Bayes, SVM, and logistic regression, using neural networks.     

Using support vector machine models for crash injury severity analysis

The study presented in this paper investigated the possibility of using support vector machine (SVM) models for crash injury severity analysis. Based on crash data collected at 326 freeway diverge areas, a SVM model was developed for predicting the injury severity associated with individual crashes. An ordered probit (OP) model was also developed using the same dataset. The research team compared the performance of the SVM model and the OP model. It was found that the SVM model produced better prediction performance for crash injury severity than did the OP model. The percent of correct prediction for the SVM model was found to be 48.8%, which was higher than that produced by the OP model (44.0%). Even though the SVM model may suffer from the multi-class classification problem, it still provides better prediction results for small proportion injury severities than the OP model does.

Optimized Tuned Deep Learning Model for Chronic Kidney Disease Classification

In recent times, Internet of Things (IoT) and Cloud Computing (CC) paradigms are commonly employed in different healthcare applications. IoT gadgets generate huge volumes of patient data in healthcare domain, which can be examined on cloud over the available storage and computation resources in mobile gadgets. Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is one of the deadliest diseases that has high mortality rate across the globe. The current research work presents a novel IoT and cloud-based CKD diagnosis model called Flower Pollination Algorithm (FPA)-based Deep Neural Network (DNN) model abbreviated as FPA-DNN. The steps involved in the presented FPA-DNN model are data collection, preprocessing, Feature Selection (FS), and classification. Primarily, the IoT gadgets are utilized in the collection of a patient’s health information. The proposed FPA-DNN model deploys Oppositional Crow Search (OCS) algorithm for FS, which selects the optimal subset of features from the preprocessed data. The application of FPA helps in tuning the DNN parameters for better classification performance. The simulation analysis of the proposed FPA-DNN model was performed against the benchmark CKD dataset. The results were examined under different aspects. The simulation outcomes established the superior performance of FPA-DNN technique by achieving the highest sensitivity of 98.80%, specificity of 98.66%, accuracy of 98.75%, F-score of 99%, and kappa of 97.33%.     

Magnetic resonance brain image classification based on weighted‐type fractional Fourier transform and nonparallel support vector machine

To classify brain images into pathological or healthy is a key pre‐clinical state for patients. Manual classification is tiresome, expensive, time‐consuming, and irreproducible. In this study, we aimed to present an automatic computer‐aided system for brain‐image classification. We used 90 T2‐weighted images obtained by magnetic resonance images. First, we used weighted‐type fractional Fourier transform (WFRFT) to extract spectrums from each magnetic resonance image. Second, we used principal component analysis (PCA) to reduce spectrum features to only 26. Third, those reduced spectral features of different samples were combined and were fed into support vector machine (SVM) and its two variants: generalized eigenvalue proximal SVM and twin SVM. A 5 × 5‐fold cross‐validation results showed that this proposed “WFRFT + PCA + generalized eigenvalue proximal SVM” yielded sensitivity of 99.53%, specificity of 92.00%, precision of 99.53%, and accuracy of 99.11%, which are comparable with the proposed “WFRFT + PCA + twin SVM” and better than the proposed “WFRFT + PCA + SVM.” Besides, all three proposed methods were superior to eight state‐of‐the‐art algorithms. Thus, WFRFT is effective, and the proposed methods can be used in practical. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Imaging Syst Technol, 25, 317–327, 2015     

Fuzzy relevance vector machine based classification of lung nodules in computed tomography images

Lung cancer is a critical disease with growing death rate, hence, the faster identification and treatment of lung cancer is essential. In medical image processing, the traditional methods like support vector machine, relevance vector machine for classifying cancer tissues are less sensitive to false data and required optimal improvement in classification accuracy. The proposed system of accurate lung cancer classification is obtained by a hybrid fuzzy relevance vector machine (FRVM) classifier with correlation negation ant colony optimization (CNACO) algorithm. This system provides enhanced accuracy and sensitivity by implementing two stages of feature extraction, image thresholding, and tumor segmentation, with a novel feature selection and tumor classification algorithm. The best features are selected by the proposed CNACO algorithm. The selected features are labeled and classified by FRVM classifier. The proposed classification scheme is validated on lung image database consortium and image database resource initiative public database and obtained accuracy of about 98.75%.     

Automated diagnosis system for age‐related macular degeneration using hybrid features set from fundus images

Impairment to macula can cause loss of central vision. There are various macular disorders that can affect macular region and if not treated at an early stage can cause irreversible central vision loss. Age‐related macular degeneration (AMD) disorder is one of the most threading macular disorder. Bright lesion, drusens presence in macular region is known as the hallmark of AMD disorder. This bright lesion differentiation from other bright lesion like exudates is important for accurate diagnosis of AMD. Focus of this article is automated diagnosis of affected macular region by applying a hybrid features set containing textural, color, and structural/shape features for more accurate detection of AMD at an early stage using fundus images. These features also help to distinguish drusens from exudates. The proposed algorithm at first stage, detect macular region from input fundus image and then perform features extraction based on textural pattern, edge, and structural properties of macular region to classify abnormal macula from normal macula. For classification, we have used support vector machine (SVM), K‐nearest neighbor and neural networks but SVM classifier achieves high accuracy. The proposed algorithm is tested on publicly available STARE and locally available AFIO datasets. Attained sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of our proposed system are 97.5%, 95% and 95.45%, respectively, when applied on STARE dataset. When we have applied our proposed system on AFIO dataset, we have attained sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of 93.3%, 92% and 92.34%, respectively.     

Plant Disease Diagnosis and Image Classification Using Deep Learning

Indian agriculture is striving to achieve sustainable intensification, the system aiming to increase agricultural yield per unit area without harming natural resources and the ecosystem. Modern farming employs technology to improve productivity. Early and accurate analysis and diagnosis of plant disease is very helpful in reducing plant diseases and improving plant health and food crop productivity. Plant disease experts are not available in remote areas thus there is a requirement of automatic low-cost, approachable and reliable solutions to identify the plant diseases without the laboratory inspection and expert's opinion. Deep learning-based computer vision techniques like Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and traditional machine learning-based image classification approaches are being applied to identify plant diseases. In this paper, the CNN model is proposed for the classification of rice and potato plant leaf diseases. Rice leaves are diagnosed with bacterial blight, blast, brown spot and tungro diseases. Potato leaf images are classified into three classes: healthy leaves, early blight and late blight diseases. Rice leaf dataset with 5932 images and 1500 potato leaf images are used in the study. The proposed CNN model was able to learn hidden patterns from the raw images and classify rice images with 99.58% accuracy and potato leaves with 97.66% accuracy. The results demonstrate that the proposed CNN model performed better when compared with other machine learning image classifiers such as Support Vector Machine (SVM), K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Decision Tree and Random Forest.     

A New Multi-Agent Feature Wrapper Machine Learning Approach for Heart Disease Diagnosis

Heart disease (HD) is a serious widespread life-threatening disease. The heart of patients with HD fails to pump sufficient amounts of blood to the entire body. Diagnosing the occurrence of HD early and efficiently may prevent the manifestation of the debilitating effects of this disease and aid in its effective treatment. Classical methods for diagnosing HD are sometimes unreliable and insufficient in analyzing the related symptoms. As an alternative, noninvasive medical procedures based on machine learning (ML) methods provide reliable HD diagnosis and efficient prediction of HD conditions. However, the existing models of automated ML-based HD diagnostic methods cannot satisfy clinical evaluation criteria because of their inability to recognize anomalies in extracted symptoms represented as classification features from patients with HD. In this study, we propose an automated heart disease diagnosis (AHDD) system that integrates a binary convolutional neural network (CNN) with a new multi-agent feature wrapper (MAFW) model. The MAFW model consists of four software agents that operate a genetic algorithm (GA), a support vector machine (SVM), and Naïve Bayes (NB). The agents instruct the GA to perform a global search on HD features and adjust the weights of SVM and BN during initial classification. A final tuning to CNN is then performed to ensure that the best set of features are included in HD identification. The CNN consists of five layers that categorize patients as healthy or with HD according to the analysis of optimized HD features. We evaluate the classification performance of the proposed AHDD system via 12 common ML techniques and conventional CNN models by using a cross-validation technique and by assessing six evaluation criteria. The AHDD system achieves the highest accuracy of 90.1%, whereas the other ML and conventional CNN models attain only 72.3%–83.8% accuracy on average. Therefore, the AHDD system proposed herein has the highest capability to identify patients with HD. This system can be used by medical practitioners to diagnose HD efficiently.     

An automated methodology for the classification of focal and nonfocal EEG signals using a hybrid classification approach

The uncertainty in human brain leads to the formation of epilepsy disease in human. The automatic detection and severity analysis of epilepsy disease is proposed in this article using a hybrid classification algorithm. The proposed method consists of decomposition stage, feature extraction, and classification stages. The electroencephalogram (EEG) signals are decomposed using dual-tree complex wavelet transform and then features are extracted from these coefficients. These features are then classified using the neural network classification approach in order to classify the EEG signals into either focal or nonfocal EEG signals. Furthermore, severity of the focal EEG signal is analyzed using an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system classification approach. The proposed hybrid classification method for the classification of focal signals and nonfocal signals achieved 98.6% of sensitivity, 99.1% of specificity, and 99.4% of accuracy. The average detection rate for both focal and nonfocal dataset is about 98.5%.     

Machine Learning Enabled Early Detection of Breast Cancer by Structural Analysis of Mammograms

Clinical image processing plays a significant role in healthcare systems and is currently a widely used methodology. In carcinogenic diseases, time is crucial; thus, an image’s accurate analysis can help treat disease at an early stage. Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) are common types of malignancies that affect both women and men. The number of cases of DCIS and LCIS has increased every year since 2002, while it still takes a considerable amount of time to recommend a controlling technique. Image processing is a powerful technique to analyze preprocessed images to retrieve useful information by using some remarkable processing operations. In this paper, we used a dataset from the Mammographic Image Analysis Society and MATLAB 2019b software from MathWorks to simulate and extract our results. In this proposed study, mammograms are primarily used to diagnose, more precisely, the breast’s tumor component. The detection of DCIS and LCIS on breast mammograms is done by preprocessing the images using contrast-limited adaptive histogram equalization. The resulting images’ tumor portions are then isolated by a segmentation process, such as threshold detection. Furthermore, morphological operations, such as erosion and dilation, are applied to the images, then a gray-level co-occurrence matrix texture features, Harlick texture features, and shape features are extracted from the regions of interest. For classification purposes, a support vector machine (SVM) classifier is used to categorize normal and abnormal patterns. Finally, the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system is deployed for the amputation of fuzziness due to overlapping features of patterns within the images, and the exact categorization of prior patterns is gained through the SVM. Early detection of DCIS and LCIS can save lives and help physicians and surgeons todiagnose and treat these diseases. Substantial results are obtained through cubic support vector machine (CSVM), respectively, showing 98.95% and 98.01% accuracies for normal and abnormal mammograms. Through ANFIS, promising results of mean square error (MSE) 0.01866, 0.18397, and 0.19640 for DCIS and LCIS differentiation during the training, testing, and checking phases.     

Novel Computer-Aided Diagnosis System for the Early Detection of Alzheimer’s Disease

Aging is a natural process that leads to debility, disease, and dependency. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) causes degeneration of the brain cells leading to cognitive decline and memory loss, as well as dependence on others to fulfill basic daily needs. AD is the major cause of dementia. Computer-aided diagnosis (CADx) tools aid medical practitioners in accurately identifying diseases such as AD in patients. This study aimed to develop a CADx tool for the early detection of AD using the Intelligent Water Drop (IWD) algorithm and the Random Forest (RF) classifier. The IWD algorithm an efficient feature selection method, was used to identify the most deterministic features of AD in the dataset. RF is an ensemble method that leverages multiple weak learners to classify a patient’s disease as either demented (DN) or cognitively normal (CN). The proposed tool also classifies patients as mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or CN. The dataset on which the performance of the proposed CADx was evaluated was sourced from the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI). The RF ensemble method achieves 100% accuracy in identifying DN patients from CN patients. The classification accuracy for classifying patients as MCI or CN is 92%. This study emphasizes the significance of pre-processing prior to classification to improve the classification results of the proposed CADx tool.

Cotton Leaf Diseases Recognition Using Deep Learning and Genetic Algorithm

Globally, Pakistan ranks 4 in cotton production, 6 as an importer of raw cotton, and 3 in cotton consumption. Nearly 10% of GDP and 55% of the country's foreign exchange earnings depend on cotton products. Approximately 1.5 million people in Pakistan are engaged in the cotton value chain. However, several diseases such as Mildew, Leaf Spot, and Soreshine affect cotton production. Manual diagnosis is not a good solution due to several factors such as high cost and unavailability of an expert. Therefore, it is essential to develop an automated technique that can accurately detect and recognize these diseases at their early stages. In this study, a new technique is proposed using deep learning architecture with serially fused features and the best feature selection. The proposed architecture consists of the following steps: (a) a self-collected dataset of cotton diseases is prepared and labeled by an expert; (b) data augmentation is performed on the collected dataset to increase the number of images for better training at the earlier step; (c) a pre-trained deep learning model named ResNet101 is employed and trained through a transfer learning approach; (d) features are computed from the third and fourth last layers and serially combined into one matrix; (e) a genetic algorithm is applied to the combined matrix to select the best points for further recognition. For final recognition, a Cubic SVM approach was utilized and validated on a prepared dataset. On the newly prepared dataset, the highest achieved accuracy was 98.8% using Cubic SVM, which shows the perfection of the proposed framework..     

Machine Learning Approach for COVID-19 Detection on Twitter

Social networking services (SNSs) provide massive data that can be a very influential source of information during pandemic outbreaks. This study shows that social media analysis can be used as a crisis detector (e.g., understanding the sentiment of social media users regarding various pandemic outbreaks). The novel Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19), commonly known as coronavirus, has affected everyone worldwide in 2020. Streaming Twitter data have revealed the status of the COVID-19 outbreak in the most affected regions. This study focuses on identifying COVID-19 patients using tweets without requiring medical records to find the COVID-19 pandemic in Twitter messages (tweets). For this purpose, we propose herein an intelligent model using traditional machine learning-based approaches, such as support vector machine (SVM), logistic regression (LR), naïve Bayes (NB), random forest (RF), and decision tree (DT) with the help of the term frequency inverse document frequency (TF-IDF) to detect the COVID-19 pandemic in Twitter messages. The proposed intelligent traditional machine learning-based model classifies Twitter messages into four categories, namely, confirmed deaths, recovered, and suspected. For the experimental analysis, the tweet data on the COVID-19 pandemic are analyzed to evaluate the results of traditional machine learning approaches. A benchmark dataset for COVID-19 on Twitter messages is developed and can be used for future research studies. The experiments show that the results of the proposed approach are promising in detecting the COVID-19 pandemic in Twitter messages with overall accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score between 70% and 80% and the confusion matrix for machine learning approaches (i.e., SVM, NB, LR, RF, and DT) with the TF-IDF feature extraction technique.     

Detection and classification of large bowel obstruction from X-ray images using machine learning algorithms

Large bowel obstruction (LBO) occurs when there is a blockage or twisting in the large bowel that prevents wastes and gas from passing through. If left untreated, the blockage cuts off blood supply to the colon, causing sections of it to die which results in high rates of morbidity and fatality. The examination of clinical symptoms of LBO involves careful inspection of the cecum and colon. Radiologists use X-rays to inspect the clinical signs. Some research has been done to automate the detection of related abdominal and intestinal diseases. However, all these studies concentrate only on detecting Crohn's, ulcerative colitis, Acute Appendicitis, colorectal cancer, celiac diseases, liver diseases, and chronic kidney diseases. Automatic detection and classification of LBO has not been given due attention so far to the best of the authors knowledge. To address this challenge, we have designed a model for the detection and classification of LBO. The models development comprises of stages such as preprocessing, detection, segmentation, feature extraction, and classification. We used YOLOv3 for detection and used a gray scale level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM), and a convolutional neural network for feature extraction, while support vector machine (SVM) and softmax were used for classification. The proposed model achieved a diagnostic accuracy of 89% when feature extraction methods such as CNN and median filter with softmax classifier were used. CNN and Gaussian filter with soft max classifier achieved 91%, while CNN and anisotropic filter with soft max classifier achieved 92%. GLCM with threshold segmentation and Gaussian filter with SVM classifier achieved 87%, while CNN with watershed segmentation and Gaussian filter with SVM classifier achieved 97% and CNN-GLCM with watershed segmentation and anisotropic diffusion filter with SVM classifier achieved 98% for detection and classification of LBO. Finally, this paper presented a performance analysis of various machine learning approaches for detection and classification of LBO. Hence, our model is designed to assist human experts (Radiologists) in diagnosing LBO.
