The advancement of deep learning in computer vision has result in substantial progress, particularly in image classification tasks. However, challenges arise when the model is applied to small and unbalanced datasets, such as X-ray data in medical applications. This study aims to improve the classification performance of fracture X-ray images using the EfficientNet architecture optimized with grey wolf optimization (GWO). EfficientNet was chosen for its efficiency in handling small datasets, while GWO was applied to optimize hyperparameters, including learning rate, weight decay, and dropout to improve model accuracy. Random cropping, rotation, flipping, color jittering, and random erasing, were used to expand the diversity of the dataset, and class weighting is applied to overcome class imbalance. The evaluation uses accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score metrics. The combination of EfficientNetB0 and GWO resulted in an average 4.5% improvement in model performance over baseline methods. This approach provides benefits in developing deep learning methods for medical image classification, especially in dealing with small and imbalanced datasets.

Diabetes is a severe illness characterized by high blood glucose levels. Machine learning algorithms, with their ability to detect and predict diabetes in its early stages, offer a promising avenue for research. This study sought to enhance the accuracy of predicting diabetes mellitus by employing the stacking method. The stacking method was chosen because it integrates predictions from various base models, resulting in a more precise final prediction. The stacking method enhances accuracy and generalization by utilizing the varied strengths of multiple base models. The Pima Indians diabetes dataset, a widely used benchmark dataset, was utilized in the study. The machine learning models used for the studies were logistic regression (LR), naïve Bayes (NB), extreme gradient boost (XGBoost), K-nearest neighbor (KNN), decision tree (DT), and support vector machine (SVM). LR, KNN, and SVM were the best-performing models based on accuracy, F1-score, precision, and area under the curve (AUC) score, and were consequently used as the base model for the stacking method. The LR model was utilized for the meta-model. The proposed ensemble approach using the stacking method demonstrated a high accuracy of 82.4%, better than the individual models and other ensemble techniques such as bagging or boosting. This study advances diabetes prediction by developing a more accurate early-stage detection model, thereby improving clinical management of the disease.

Prediction models for beef meat quality are necessary because production and consumption were significant and increasing yearly. This study aims to create a prediction model for beef freshness quality using the random forest regressor (RFR) algorithm and to improve the accuracy of the predictions using hyperparameter tuning. The use of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in predicting beef quality is an easy, cheap, and fast technique. This study used six meat quality parameters as prediction target variables for the test. The R² metric was used to evaluate the prediction results and compare the performance of the RFR with default parameters versus the RFR with hyperparameter tuning (RandomSearchCV). Using default parameters, the R-squared (R²) values for color (L*), drip loss (%), pH, storage time (hour), total plate colony (TPC in cfu/g), and water moisture (%) were 0.789, 0.839, 0.734, 0.909, 0.845, and 0.544, respectively. After applying hyperparameter tuning, these R² scores increased to 0.885, 0.931, 0.843, 0.957, 0.903, and 0.739, indicating an overall improvement in the model’s performance. The average performance increase for prediction results for all beef quality parameters is 0.0997 or 14% higher than the default parameters.

HepatoScan: Ensemble classification learning models for liver cancer disease detection

10.11591/csit.v6i2.p167-175
Tella Sumallika , Raavi Satya Prasad
Liver cancer is a dangerous disease that poses significant risks to human health. The complexity of early detection of liver cancer increases due to the unpredictable growth of cancer cells. This paper introduces HepatoScan, an ensemble classification to detect and diagnose liver cancer tumors from liver cancer datasets. The proposed HepatoScan is the integrated approach that classifies the three types of liver cancers: hepatocellular carcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma, and angiosarcoma. In the initial stage, liver cancer starts in the liver, while the second stage spreads from the liver to other parts of the body. Deep learning is an emerging domain that develops advanced learning models to detect and diagnose liver cancers in the early stages. We train the pre-trained model InceptionV3 on liver cancer datasets to identify advanced patterns associated with cancer tumors or cells. For accurate segmentation and classification of liver lesions in computed tomography (CT) scans, the ensemble multi-class classification (EMCC) combines U-Net and mask region-based convolutional network (R-CNN). In this context, researchers use the CT scan images from Kaggle to analyze the liver cancer tumors for experimental analysis. Finally, quantitative results show that the proposed approach obtained an improved disease detection rate with mean squared error (MSE)-11.34 and peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR)-10.34, which is high compared with existing models such as fuzzy C-means (FCM) and kernel fuzzy C-means (KFCM). The classification results obtained based on detection rate with accuracy-0.97%, specificity-0.99%, recall-0.99%, and F1S-0.97% are very high compared with other existing models.

Alauddin Maulana Hirzan , April Firman Daru , Lenny Margaretta Huizen
Water quality plays a crucial role in the growth and survival of arowana fish, with imbalances in key parameters (pH, temperature, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, and conductivity) leading to increased mortality rates. While previous studies have introduced various monitoring models using Arduino IDE and intrinsic approaches, they lack predictive capabilities, leaving cultivators unable to take proactive measures. To address this gap, this study develops a predictive model integrating the internet of things (IoT) with a fuzzy time series (FTS) algorithm. Through rigorous evaluation and validation, the proposed FTS-multivariate T2 model demonstrated superior performance, achieving an exceptionally low error rate of 0.01704%, outperforming decision tree (0.13410%), FTS-multivariate T1 (0.88397%), and linear regression (20.91791%). These findings confirm that FTS-multivariate T2 not only accurately predicts water quality but also significantly reduces the mean absolute percentage error, providing a robust solution for sustainable arowana aquaculture.

Riki Abdillah Hasanuddin , Muhammad Subali
Cybersecurity becomes a crucial part within the information management framework of internet of things (IoT) device networks. The large-scale distribution of IoT networks and the complexity of communication protocols used are contributing factors to the widespread vulnerabilities of IoT devices. The implementation of transfer learning models in deep learning can achieve optimal performance faster than traditional machine learning models, as they leverage knowledge from previous models that already understand these features. Base model was built using the 1-dimension convolutional neural network (1D-CNN) method, using training and test data from the source domain dataset. Model 1 was constructed using the same method as base model. The test and training data used for model 1 were from the target domain dataset. This model successfully detected known attacks at a rate of 99.352%, but did not perform well in detecting unknown attacks, with an accuracy of 84.645%. Model 2 is an enhancement of model 1, incorporating transfer learning from the base model. Its results significantly improved compared to model 1 testing. Model 2 has an accuracy and precision rate of 98.86% and 99.17 %, respectively, allowing it to detect previously unknown attacks. Even with a slight decrease in normal detection, most attacks can still be detected.

The development of technology is accelerating in finding references to scientific articles or journals related to research topics. One of the sources of national aggregator services to find references is Garba Rujukan Digital (GARUDA), developed by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology (Kemendikbudristek) of the Republic of Indonesia. The naïve Bayes method classifies articles into several categories based on titles and abstracts. The system achieves an F1-score of 98%, which indicates high classification accuracy, and the classification process takes less than 60 minutes. Article similarity detection is done using the cosine similarity method, and a similarity score of 0.071 reflects the degree of similarity between the title and the abstract that has been concatenated, while a score close to 1 indicates a higher similarity. Searching for similar scientific articles based on title and abstract, sort articles based on the results of the highest similarity score are the most similar articles, and generating article categories. The results of the research show that the proposed method significantly improves the classification and search processes in GARUDA, as well as accurate and efficient similarity detection.

The incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) into the field of medicine has created new strategies in enhancing the detection of disease, with a focus on the identification of eye diseases such as glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and macular degeneration associated with age, which can lead to blindness if not detected and treated early enough. Driven by the need to combat blindness, which affects approximately 39 million people globally, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). This research offers a web-based, real time approach to classifying eye diseases from fundus images due to user friendliness. Three pre-trained convolutional neural network (CNN) models are adopted, namely ResNet-50, Inception-v3, and MobileNetV3. The models were trained on a dataset of 8000 fundus images subdivided into four classes: cataract, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and normal eyes. The performance of the models was evaluated in 3-way (normal eye and two diseases) and 4-way (normal eye and three diseases). ResNet-50 had higher performances, with 98% and 97% accuracy in the respective classifications, compared to InceptionV3 and MobileNetV3. Consequently, ResNet-50 was used in an online application that made real-time diagnoses. This research findings reveal the potential of CNNs in the healthcare industry, particularly in reducing over-reliance on specialists and increasing access to quality diagnostic technologies. Especially in critical areas such as this with limited healthcare resources, where the technology can create significant gaps in disease detection and control.
