Malarial Diagnosis with Deep Learning and Image Processing Approaches

Malaria is a mosquito-borne disease that has killed an estimated a half-a-million people worldwide since 2000. It may be time consuming and costly to conduct thorough laboratory testing for malaria, and it also requires the skills of trained laboratory personnel. Additionally, human analysis might make mistakes. Integrating denoising and image segmentation techniques with Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) as a data augmentation technique can enhance the performance of diagnosis. Various deep learning models, such as CNN, ResNet50, and VGG19, for recognising the Plasmodium parasite in thick blood smear images have been used. The experimental results indicate that the VGG19 model performed best by achieving 98.46% compared to other approaches. This study demonstrates the potential of artificial intelligence to improve the speed and precision of pathogen detection which is more effective than manual analysis

Grouped ABC for Feature Selection and Mean-Variance Optimization for Rule Mining: A Hybrid Framework

Data mining has become a popular process in recent times. However, with the increase in data, traditional data mining methods are not sufficient to solve many problems. Therefore, advanced techniques are needed to provide better results without consuming more time during execution. Soft computing algorithms are used for mathematical optimization to achieve better results in less time. The primary purpose of this work is to propose a framework for rule mining that shall generalize the currently applied methods in rule mining. In this respect, this paper represents the R-miner using a soft computing algorithm. The Grouped -Artificial Bee Colony Optimization (G-ABC) was used to select the relevant attribute set and further verify the features. Mean-Variance optimization is used to find whether the selected rule is valid for further classification. Furthermore, a neural-based deep learning method is applied to validate the outcome. The investigation outcome indicates that the proposed algorithm provides more optimized results in terms of the number of rules generated, the time required for calculation, and obtaining supplementary information for rule mining
