TL;DR: Experimental results clearly show the superiority of the proposed NN-NSGA-II model with different features, which has been evaluated using various performances measuring metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall and F-measure.
Abstract: Automated, efficient and accurate classification of skin diseases using digital images of skin is very important for bio-medical image analysis. Various techniques have already been developed by many researchers. In this work, a technique based on meta-heuristic supported artificial neural network has been proposed to classify images. Here 3 common skin diseases have been considered namely angioma, basal cell carcinoma and lentigo simplex. Images have been obtained from International Skin Imaging Collaboration (ISIC) dataset. A popular multi objective optimization method called Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm — II is employed to train the ANN (NNNSGA-II). Different feature have been extracted to train the classifier. A comparison has been made with the proposed model and two other popular meta-heuristic based classifier namely NN-PSO (ANN trained with Particle Swarm Optimization) and NN-GA (ANN trained with Genetic algorithm). The results have been evaluated using various performances measuring metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall and F-measure. Experimental results clearly show the superiority of the proposed NN-NSGA-II model with different features.

TL;DR: The experimental results suggest that NN-CS based model is capable of detecting CKD more efficiently than any other existing model.
Abstract: In the present work a Cuckoo Search (CS) trained Neural Network (NN) or NN-CS based model has been proposed to detect Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) which has become one of the newest threats to the developing and undeveloped countries. Studies and surveys in different parts of India have suggested that CKD is becoming a major concern day by day. The financial burden of the treatment and future consequences of CKD could be unaffordable to many if not detected at an earlier stage. Motivated by this, the NN-CS model has been proposed which significantly overcomes the problem of using local search based learning algorithms to train NNs. The input weight vector of the NN is gradually optimized by using CS to train the NN. The model has been compared with well-known classifiers like Multilayer Perceptron Feedforward Network (MLP-FFN) (trained with scaled conjugate gradient descent) and also with NN supported by Genetic Algorithm (NN-GA). The performance of the classifiers has been measured in terms of accuracy, precision, recall and F-Measure. The experimental results suggest that NN-CS based model is capable of detecting CKD more efficiently than any other existing model.

TL;DR: In this paper, the design of half-mode substrate integrated waveguide (HMSIW) based compact semi-hexagonal antennas, with the use of a tapered rectangular slot to operate for 5 GHz wireless networks has been discussed.
Abstract: Design of Half-Mode substrate integrated waveguide (HMSIW) based compact semi-hexagonal antennas, with the use of a tapered rectangular slot to operate for 5 GHz wireless networks has been discussed in this paper. The parent hexagonal SIW cavity is bisected to obtain half-mode structures which results in two different structures Type-1 resonating at 5.9 GHz and Type-2 resonating at 5.57 GHz. The antennas are subsequently downsized by incorporating narrow rectangular slot having resonance at 4.9 GHz and 4.77 GHz respectively. The design part of the antennas was accomplished using the Arlon AD270 substrate and the simulation deductions are analyzed with the values obtained from measurement.

TL;DR: Comparing the D-ACO algorithm with existing methods, the presented intelligent system outperformed the other methodologies with a significant improvisation in classification accuracy using fewer features.
Abstract: At present times, healthcare systems are updated with advanced capabilities like machine learning (ML), data mining and artificial intelligence to offer human with more intelligent and expert healthcare services. This paper introduces an intelligent prediction and classification system for healthcare, namely Density based Feature Selection (DFS) with Ant Colony based Optimization (D-ACO) algorithm for chronic kidney disease (CKD). The proposed intelligent system eliminates irrelevant or redundant features by DFS in prior to the ACO based classifier construction. The proposed D-ACO framework three phases namely preprocessing, Feature Selection (FS) and classification. Furthermore, the D-ACO algorithm is tested using benchmark CKD dataset and the performance are investigated based on different evaluation factors. Comparing the D-ACO algorithm with existing methods, the presented intelligent system outperformed the other methodologies with a significant improvisation in classification accuracy using fewer features.

TL;DR: In this article , a comprehensive survey based on artificial intelligence techniques to diagnose numerous diseases such as Alzheimer, cancer, diabetes, chronic heart disease, tuberculosis, stroke and cerebrovascular, hypertension, skin, and liver disease is presented.
Abstract: Artificial intelligence can assist providers in a variety of patient care and intelligent health systems. Artificial intelligence techniques ranging from machine learning to deep learning are prevalent in healthcare for disease diagnosis, drug discovery, and patient risk identification. Numerous medical data sources are required to perfectly diagnose diseases using artificial intelligence techniques, such as ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, mammography, genomics, computed tomography scan, etc. Furthermore, artificial intelligence primarily enhanced the infirmary experience and sped up preparing patients to continue their rehabilitation at home. This article covers the comprehensive survey based on artificial intelligence techniques to diagnose numerous diseases such as Alzheimer, cancer, diabetes, chronic heart disease, tuberculosis, stroke and cerebrovascular, hypertension, skin, and liver disease. We conducted an extensive survey including the used medical imaging dataset and their feature extraction and classification process for predictions. Preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines are used to select the articles published up to October 2020 on the Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar, PubMed, Excerpta Medical Database, and Psychology Information for early prediction of distinct kinds of diseases using artificial intelligence-based techniques. Based on the study of different articles on disease diagnosis, the results are also compared using various quality parameters such as prediction rate, accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, the area under curve precision, recall, and F1-score.

TL;DR: A neural network-based classifier to predict whether a person is at risk of developing chronic kidney disease (CKD) in Colombia and applies and validate a NN-CBR twin system for the explanation of CKD predictions.
Abstract: This paper presents a neural network-based classifier to predict whether a person is at risk of developing chronic kidney disease (CKD). The model is trained with the demographic data and medical care information of two population groups: on the one hand, people diagnosed with CKD in Colombia during 2018, and on the other, a sample of people without a diagnosis of this disease. Once the model is trained and evaluation metrics for classification algorithms are applied, the model achieves 95% accuracy in the test data set, making its application for disease prognosis feasible. However, despite the demonstrated efficiency of the neural networks to predict CKD, this machine-learning paradigm is opaque to the expert regarding the explanation of the outcome. Current research on eXplainable AI proposes the use of twin systems, where a black-box machine-learning method is complemented by another white-box method that provides explanations about the predicted values. Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) has proved to be an ideal complement as this paradigm is able to find explanatory cases for an explanation-by-example justification of a neural network's prediction. In this paper, we apply and validate a NN-CBR twin system for the explanation of CKD predictions. As a result of this research, 3,494,516 people were identified as being at risk of developing CKD in Colombia, or 7% of the total population.

TL;DR: Experimental results indicated towards the superiority of the proposed bag-of-features enabled NN-NSGA-II model in terms of testing phase confusion matrix based performance measuring metrics.
Abstract: The current work proposes a neural based detection method of two different skin diseases using skin imaging. Skin images of two diseases namely Basel Cell Carcinoma and Skin Angioma are utilized. SIFT feature extractor has been employed followed by a clustering phase on feature space in order to reduce the number of features suitable for neural based models. The extracted bag-of-features modified dataset is used to train metaheuristic supported hybrid Artificial Neural Networks to classify the skin images in order to detect the diseases under study. A well-known multi objective optimization technique called Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm — II is used to train the ANN (NN-NSGA-II). The proposed model is further compared with two other well-known metaheuristic based classifier namely NN-PSO (ANN trained with PSO) and NN-CS (ANN trained with Cuckoo Search) in terms of testing phase confusion matrix based performance measuring metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall and F-measure. Experimental results indicated towards the superiority of the proposed bag-of-features enabled NN-NSGA-II model.
