Lung Cancer Prediction Using Stochastic Diffusion Search (SDS) Based Feature Selection and Machine Learning Methods

Lung disease prediction based on CT images using REInf-net and world cup optimization based BI-LSTM classification

A major global source of disability as well as mortality is respiratory illness. Though visual evaluation of computed tomography (CT) images and chest radiographs are a primary diagnostic for respiratory illnesses, it is limited in its ability to assess severity and predict patient outcomes due to low specificity and fundamental infectious organisms. In order to address these problems, world cup optimization-based Bi-LSTM classification and lung disease prediction on CT images using REINF-net were employed. To enhance the image quality, the gathered lung CT images are pre-processed using Lucy Richardson and CLAHE algorithms. For the purpose of lung infection segmentation, the pre-processed images are segmented using the REInf-net. The GLRLM method is used to extract features from the segmented images. In order to predict lung disease in CT images, the extracted features are trained using the Bi-LSTM based on world cup optimization. Accuracy, Precision, recall, Error and Specificity for the proposed model are 97.8%, 96.7%, 96.7%, 2.2% and 98.3%. These evaluated values are contrasted with the results of existing methods like WCO-BiLSTM, MLP, CNN and LSTM. Finally, the Lung disease prediction based on CT images using REINF-Net and world cup optimization based BI-LSTM classification performs better than the existing model.

Lung cancer diagnosis based on weighted convolutional neural network using gene data expression

Lung cancer is thought to be a genetic disease with a variety of unknown origins. Globocan2020 report tells in 2020 new cancer cases identified was 19.3 million and nearly 10.0 million died owed to cancer. GLOBOCAN envisages that the cancer cases will raised to 28.4 million in 2040. This charge is superior to the combined rates of the former generally prevalent malignancies, like breast, colorectal, and prostate cancers. For attribute selection in previous work, the information gain model was applied. Then, for lung cancer prediction, multilayer perceptron, random subspace, and sequential minimal optimization (SMO) are used. However, the total number of parameters in a multilayer perceptron can become extremely large. This is inefficient because of the duplication in such high dimensions, and SMO can become ineffective due to its calculating method and maintaining a single threshold value for prediction. To avoid these difficulties, our research presented a novel technique including Z-score normalization, levy flight cuckoo search optimization, and a weighted convolutional neural network for predicting lung cancer. This result findings show that the proposed technique is effective in precision, recall, and accuracy for the Kent Ridge Bio-Medical Dataset Repository.

Identification of cancer types from gene expressions using learning techniques

Tumor is the major cause of death all around the world in recent days. Early detection and prediction of a cancer type are important for a patient's well-being. Functional genomic data has recently been used in the effective and early detection of cancer. According to previous research, the use of microarray data in cancer prediction has evidenced two main problems as high dimensionality and limited sample size. Several researchers have used numerous statistical and machine learning-based methods to classify cancer types but still, limitations are there which makes cancer classification a difficult job. Deep Learning (DL) and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) have been proven with effective analyses of unstructured data including gene expression data. In the proposed method gene expression data for five types of cancer is collected from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Prominent features are selected using a hybrid Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Random Forest (RF) algorithm followed by the use of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) for dimensionality reduction. Finally, for classification blend of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Bi-directional Long Short Term Memory (Bi-LSTM) is used to predict the target type of cancer. Experimental results demonstrate that accuracy of the proposed method is 96.89%. As compared to existing work, our method outperformed with better results.

ALBAE feature extraction based lung pneumonia and cancer classification

Lung cancer is a deadly disease showing uncontrolled proliferation of malignant cells in the lungs. If the lung cancer is detected in early stages, it can be cured before critical stage. In recent years, new technologies have gained much attention in the healthcare industry however, the unpredictable appearance of tumors, finding their presence, determining its shape, size and high discrepancy in medical images are the challenging tasks. To overcome this issue a novel Ant lion-based Autoencoders (ALbAE) model is proposed for efficient classification of lung cancer and pneumonia. Initially Computed Tomography (CT) images are pre-processed using median filters to remove noise artifacts and improving the quality of the images. Consequently, the relevant features such as image edges, pixel rates of the images and blood clots are extracted by ant lion-based autoencoder (ALbAE) technique. Finally, in classification stage, the lung CT images are classified into three different categories such as normal lung, cancer affected lung and pneumonia affected lung using Random forest technique. The effectiveness of the implemented design is estimated by different parameters such as precision, recall, Accuracy and F1-measure. The proposed approach attains 97% accuracy; 98% of recall and F-measure rate is attained through the developed design and the proposed model gains 96% of precision score. Experimental outcomes show that the proposed model performs better than existing SVM, ELM, and MLP in classifying lung cancer and pneumonia.

Performance evaluation of deep learning techniques for lung cancer prediction

Due to the increase in pollution, the number of deaths caused by lung disease is rising rapidly. It is essential to predict the disease in earlier stages by means of high-level knowledge and acquaintance. Deep learning-based lung cancer prediction plays a vital role in assisting the medical practioners for diagnosing lung cancer in earlier stage. Computer-Aided diagnosis is considered to bring a boost to the field of medicine by tying it to automated systems. In this research paper, several models are experimented by using chest X-ray image or CT scan as an input to detect a particular disease. This research work is carried out to identify the best performing deep learning techniques for lung disease prediction. The performance of the method is evaluated using various performance metrics, such as precision, recall, accuracy and Jaccard index.

Multi-Process Remora Enhanced Hyperparameters of Convolutional Neural Network for Lung Cancer Prediction

In recent years, lung cancer prediction is an essential topic for reducing the death rate of humans. In the literature section, some papers are reviewed that reduce the accuracy level during the prediction stage. Hence, in this paper, we develop a Multi-Process Remora Optimized Hyperparameters of Convolutional Neural Network (MPROH-CNN) aimed at lung cancer prediction. The proposed technique can be utilized to detect the CT images of the human lung. The proposed technique proceeds with four phases, including pre-processing, feature extraction and classification. Initially, the databases are collected from the open-source system. After that, the collected CT images contain unwanted noise, which affects classification efficiency. So, the pre-processing techniques can be considered to remove unwanted noise from the input images, such as filtering and contrast enhancement. Following that, the essential features are extracted with the assistance of feature extraction techniques such as histogram, texture and wavelet. The extracted features are utilized to classification stage. The proposed classifier is a combination of the Remora Optimization Algorithm (ROA) and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). In the CNN, the ROA is utilized for multi process optimization such as structure optimization and hyperparameter optimization. The proposed methodology is implemented in MATLAB and performances are evaluated by utilized performance matrices such as accuracy, precision, recall, specificity, sensitivity and F_Measure. To validate the projected approach, it is compared with the traditional techniques CNN, CNN-Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and CNN-Firefly Algorithm (FA), respectively. From the analysis, the proposed method achieved a 0.98 accuracy level in the lung cancer prediction.

Expecting individuals' body reaction to Covid-19 based on statistical Naïve Bayes technique

Covid-19, what a strange, unpredictable mutated virus. It has baffled many scientists, as no firm rule has yet been reached to predict the effect that the virus can inflict on people if they are infected with it. Recently, many researches have been introduced for diagnosing Covid-19; however, none of them pay attention to predict the effect of the virus on the person's body if the infection occurs but before the infection really takes place. Predicting the extent to which people will be affected if they are infected with the virus allows for some drastic precautions to be taken for those who will suffer from serious complications, while allowing some freedom for those who expect not to be affected badly. This paper introduces Covid-19 Prudential Expectation Strategy (CPES) as a new strategy for predicting the behavior of the person's body if he has been infected with Covid-19. The CPES composes of three phases called Outlier Rejection Phase (ORP), Feature Selection Phase (FSP), and Classification Phase (CP). For enhancing the classification accuracy in CP, CPES employs two proposed techniques for outlier rejection in ORP and feature selection in FSP, which are called Hybrid Outlier Rejection (HOR) method and Improved Binary Genetic Algorithm (IBGA) method respectively. In ORP, HOR rejects outliers in the training data using a hybrid method that combines standard division and Binary Gray Wolf Optimization (BGWO) method. On the other hand, in FSP, IBGA as a hybrid method selects the most useful features for the prediction process. IBGA includes Fisher Score (F_Score) as a filter method to quickly select the features and BGA as a wrapper method to accurately select the features based on the average accuracy value from several classification models as a fitness function to guarantee the efficiency of the selected subset of features with any classifier. In CP, CPES has the ability to classify people based on their bodies' reaction to Covid-19 infection, which is built upon a proposed Statistical Naïve Bayes (SNB) classifier after performing the previous two phases. CPES has been compared against recent related strategies in terms of accuracy, error, recall, precision, and run-time using Covid-19 dataset [1]. This dataset contains routine blood tests collected from people before and after their infection with covid-19 through a Web-based form created by us. CPES outperforms the competing methods in experimental results because it provides the best results with values of 0.87, 0.13, 0.84, and 0.79 for accuracy, error, precision, and recall.

Locoregional recurrence prediction in head and neck cancer based on multi-modality and multi-view feature expansion

Objective. Locoregional recurrence (LRR) is one of the leading causes of treatment failure in head and neck (H&N) cancer. Accurately predicting LRR after radiotherapy is essential to achieving better treatment outcomes for patients with H&N cancer through developing personalized treatment strategies. We aim to develop an end-to-end multi-modality and multi-view feature extension method (MMFE) to predict LRR in H&N cancer. Approach. Deep learning (DL) has been widely used for building prediction models and has achieved great success. Nevertheless, 2D-based DL models inherently fail to utilize the contextual information from adjacent slices, while complicated 3D models have a substantially larger number of parameters, which require more training samples, memory and computing resources. In the proposed MMFE scheme, through the multi-view feature expansion and projection dimension reduction operations, we are able to reduce the model complexity while preserving volumetric information. Additionally, we designed a multi-modality convolutional neural network that can be trained in an end-to-end manner and can jointly optimize the use of deep features of CT, PET and clinical data to improve the model’s prediction ability. Main results. The dataset included 206 eligible patients, of which, 49 had LRR while 157 did not. The proposed MMFE method obtained a higher AUC value than the other four methods. The best prediction result was achieved when using all three modalities, which yielded an AUC value of 0.81. Significance. Comparison experiments demonstrated the superior performance of the MMFE as compared to other 2D/3D-DL-based methods. By combining CT, PET and clinical features, the MMFE could potentially identify H&N cancer patients at high risk for LRR such that personalized treatment strategy can be developed accordingly.

Lung Cancer Detection Based on Kernel PCA-Convolution Neural Network Feature Extraction and Classification by Fast Deep Belief Neural Network in Disease Management Using Multimedia Data Sources

In lung cancer, tumor histology is a significant predictor of treatment response and prognosis. Although tissue samples for pathologist view are the most pertinent approach for histology classification, current advances in DL for medical image analysis point to the importance of radiologic data in further characterization of disease characteristics as well as risk stratification. Cancer is a complex global health problem that has seen an increase in death rates in recent years. Progress in cancer disease detection based on subset traits has enabled awareness of significant as well as exact disease diagnosis, thanks to the rapid flowering of high-throughput technology as well as numerous ML techniques that have emerged in recent years. As a result, advanced ML approaches that can successfully distinguish lung cancer patients from healthy people are of major importance. This paper proposed lung tumor detection based on histopathological image analysis using deep learning architectures. Here, the input image is taken as a histopathological image, and it has also been processed for removing noise, image resizing, and enhancing the image. Then the image features are extracted using Kernel PCA integrated with a convolutional neural network (KPCA-CNN), in which KPCA has been used in the feature extraction layer of CNN. The classification of extracted features has been put into effect using a Fast Deep Belief Neural Network (FDBNN). Finally, the classified output will give the tumorous cell and nontumorous cell of the lung from the input histopathological image. The experimental analysis has been carried out for various histopathological image datasets, and the obtained parameters are accuracy, precision, recall, and F-measure. Confusion matrix gives the actual class and predicted class of tumor in an input image. From the comparative analysis, the proposed technique obtains enhanced output in detecting the tumor once compared with an existing methodology for the various datasets.

Recent Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Early Cancer Detection

Cancer is a deadly disease often caused by the accumulation of various genetic mutations and pathological alterations. The death rate can only be reduced when it is detected in the early stages because treatment of cancer when the tumor has not metastasized in many regions of the body is more effective. However, early cancer detection is fraught with difficulties. Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have developed a new scope for efficient and early detection of such a fatal disease. AI algorithms have a remarkable ability to perform well on a variety of tasks that are presented or fed to the system. Numerous studies have produced machine learning and deep learning-assisted cancer prediction models to detect cancer from previously accessible data with better accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity. It has been observed that the accuracy of prediction models in classifying fed data as benign, malignant, or normal is improved by implementing efficient image processing techniques and data segmentation augmentation methodologies, along with advanced algorithms. In this review, recent AI-based models for the diagnosis of the most prevalent cancers in the breast, lung, brain, and skin have been analysed. Available AI techniques, data preparation, modeling processes, and performance assessments have been included in the review.

Accurate detection of Covid-19 patients based on Feature Correlated Naïve Bayes (FCNB) classification strategy

The outbreak of Coronavirus (COVID-19) has spread between people around the world at a rapid rate so that the number of infected people and deaths is increasing quickly every day. Accordingly, it is a vital process to detect positive cases at an early stage for treatment and controlling the disease from spreading. Several medical tests had been applied for COVID-19 detection in certain injuries, but with limited efficiency. In this study, a new COVID-19 diagnosis strategy called Feature Correlated Naïve Bayes (FCNB) has been introduced. The FCNB consists of four phases, which are; Feature Selection Phase (FSP), Feature Clustering Phase (FCP), Master Feature Weighting Phase (MFWP), and Feature Correlated Naïve Bayes Phase (FCNBP). The FSP selects only the most effective features among the extracted features from laboratory tests for both COVID-19 patients and non-COVID-19 people by using the Genetic Algorithm as a wrapper method. The FCP constructs many clusters of features based on the selected features from FSP by using a novel clustering technique. These clusters of features are called Master Features (MFs) in which each MF contains a set of dependent features. The MFWP assigns a weight value to each MF by using a new weight calculation method. The FCNBP is used to classify patients based on the weighted Naïve Bayes algorithm with many modifications as the correlation between features. The proposed FCNB strategy has been compared to recent competitive techniques. Experimental results have proven the effectiveness of the FCNB strategy in which it outperforms recent competitive techniques because it achieves the maximum (99%) detection accuracy.

A new COVID-19 Patients Detection Strategy (CPDS) based on hybrid feature selection and enhanced KNN classifier

COVID-19 infection is growing in a rapid rate. Due to unavailability of specific drugs, early detection of (COVID-19) patients is essential for disease cure and control. There is a vital need to detect the disease at early stage and instantly quarantine the infected people. Many research have been going on, however, none of them introduces satisfactory results yet. In spite of its simplicity, K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) classifier has proven high flexibility in complex classification problems. However, it can be easily trapped. In this paper, a new COVID-19 diagnose strategy is introduced, which is called COVID-19 Patients Detection Strategy (CPDS). The novelty of CPDS is concentrated in two contributions. The first is a new hybrid feature selection Methodology (HFSM), which elects the most informative features from those extracted from chest Computed Tomography (CT) images for COVID-19 patients and non COVID-19 peoples. HFSM is a hybrid methodology as it combines evidence from both wrapper and filter feature selection methods. It consists of two stages, namely; Fast Selection Stage (FS2) and Accurate Selection Stage (AS2). FS2relies on filter, while AS2 uses Genetic Algorithm (GA) as a wrapper method. As a hybrid methodology, HFSM elects the significant features for the next detection phase. The second contribution is an enhanced K-Nearest Neighbor (EKNN) classifier, which avoids the trapping problem of the traditional KNN by adding solid heuristics in choosing the neighbors of the tested item. EKNN depends on measuring the degree of both closeness and strength of each neighbor of the tested item, then elects only the qualified neighbors for classification. Accordingly, EKNN can accurately detect infected patients with the minimum time penalty based on those significant features selected by HFSM technique. Extensive experiments have been done considering the proposed detection strategy as well as recent competitive techniques on the chest CT images. Experimental results have shown that the proposed detection strategy outperforms recent techniques as it introduces the maximum accuracy rate.
