Abstract
Breast cancer is the most menacing cancer among all types of cancer in women around the globe. Early diagnosis is the only way to increase the treatment options which then decreases the death rate and increases the chance of survival in patients. However, it is a challenging task to differentiate abnormal breast tissues from normal tissues because of their structure and unclear boundaries. Therefore, early and accurate diagnosis and classification of breast lesions into malignant or benign lesions is an active domain of research. Over the decade, numerous artificial neural network (ANN)-based techniques were adopted in order to diagnose and classify breast cancer due to the unique characteristics of learning key features from complex data via a training process. However, these schemes have limitations like slow convergence and longer training time. To address the above mentioned issues, this paper employs a meta-heuristic algorithm for tuning the parameters of the neural network. The main novelty of this work is the computer-aided diagnosis scheme for detecting abnormalities in breast ultrasound images by integrating a wavelet neural network (WNN) and the grey wolf optimization (GWO) algorithm. Here, breast ultrasound (US) images are preprocessed with a sigmoid filter followed by interference-based despeckling and then by anisotropic diffusion. The automatic segmentation algorithm is adopted to extract the region of interest, and subsequently morphological and texture features are computed. Finally, the GWO-tuned WNN is exploited to accomplish the classification task. The classification performance of the proposed scheme is validated on 346 ultrasound images. Efficiency of the proposed methodology is evaluated by computing the confusion matrix and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Numerical analysis revealed that the proposed work can yield higher classification accuracy when compared to the prevailing methods and thereby proves its potential in effective breast tumor detection and classification. The proposed GWO-WNN method (98%) gives better accuracy than other methods like SOM-SVM (87.5), LOFA-SVM (93.62%), MBA-RF (96.85%), and BAS-BPNN (96.3%)

Abstract
The novel corona virus disease (COVID-19) is a pandemic disease that is currently affecting over 200 countries around the world and more than 6 millions of people died in last 2 years. Early detection of COVID-19 can mitigate and control its spread. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-CPR), Chest X-ray (CXR) scan, and Computerized Tomography (CT) scan are used to identify the COVID-19. Chest X-ray image analysis is relatively time efficient than compared with RT-CPR and CT scan. Its cost-effectiveness make it a good choice for COVID-19 Classification. We propose a deep learning based Convolutional Neural Network model for detection of COVID-19 from CXR. Chest X-ray images are collected from various sources dataset for training with augmentation and evaluating our model, which is widely used for COVID-19 detection and diagnosis. A Deep Convolutional neural network (CNN) based model for analysis of COVID-19 with data augmentation is proposed, which uses the patient's chest X-ray images for the diagnosis of COVID-19 with an aim to help the physicians to assist the diagnostic process among high workload conditions. The overall accuracy of 93 percent for COVID-19 Classification is achieved by choosing best optimizer.
