Abstract: Alzheimer’s disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disorder, is the most common cause of dementia and continuing cognitive deficits. Since there are more cases each year, AD has grown to be a serious social and public health issue. Early detection of the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s and dementia disease is crucial, as is giving them the right care. The importance of early AD diagnosis has recently received a lot of attention. The patient cannot receive a timely diagnosis since the present methods of diagnosing AD take so long and are so expensive. That’s why we created a brand-new AD detection method that has …four steps of operation: pre-processing, feature extraction, feature selection, and AD detection. During the pre-processing stage, the input data is pre-processed using an improved data normalization method. Following the pre-processing, these pre-processed data will go through a feature extraction procedure where features including statistical, enhanced entropy-based and mutual information-based features will be extracted. The appropriate features will be chosen from these extracted characteristics using the enhanced Chi-square technique. Based on the selected features, a hybrid model will be used in this study to detect AD. This hybrid model combines classifiers like Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) and Deep Maxout neural networks, and the weight parameters of LSTM and Deep Maxout will be optimized by the Self Updated Shuffled Shepherd Optimization Algorithm (SUSSOA). Our Proposed SUSSOA-based method’s statistical analysis of best values such as 57%, 53%, 28%, 25%, and 21% is higher than the other models like SSO, BMO, HGS, BRO, BES, and ISSO respectively.

Abstract: Testing and debugging have been the most significant steps of software development since it is tricky for engineers to create error-free software. Software testing takes place after coding with the goal of finding flaws. If errors are found, debugging would be done to identify the source of the errors so that they may be fixed. Detecting as well as locating defects are thus two essential stages in the creation of software. We have created a unique approach with the following two working phases to generate a minimized test suite that is capable of both detecting and localizing faults. In the …initial test suite minimization process, the cases were generated and minimized based on the objectives such as D-score and coverage by the utilization of the proposed Blue Monkey Customized Black Widow (BMCBW) algorithm. After this test suite minimization, the fault validation is done which includes the process of fault detection and localization. For this fault validation, we have utilized an improved Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM). At 90% of the learning rate the accuracy of the presented work is 0.97%, 2.20%, 2.52%, 0.97% and 2.81% is better than the other extant models like AOA, COOT, BES, BMO and BWO methods. The results obtained proved that our Blue Monkey Customized Black Widow Optimization-based fault detection and localization approach can provide superior outcomes. Show more

Abstract: There is a growing need for recommender systems and other ML-based systems as an abundance of data is now available across all industries. Various industries are currently using recommender systems in slightly different ways. These programs utilize algorithms to propose appropriate products to consumers based on their prior choices and interactions. Moreover, Systems for recommending events to users suggest pertinent happenings that they might find interesting. As opposed to an object recommender that suggests books or movies; event-based recommender systems typically require distinct algorithms. A developed event recommendation method is introduced which includes two stages: feature extraction and recommendation. In …stage, I, a Set of features like personal willingness, community willingness, informative content, edge weight, and node interest degree are extracted. Stage II of the event recommendation system performs a hybrid classification by combining LSTM and CNN. In the LSTM classifier, optimal tuning is done by Improvised Cat and Mouse optimization (ICMO) algorithm. The results of the ICMO technique at an 80% training percentage have the maximum sensitivity value of 95.19%, whereas those of the existing approaches SSA, DINGO, BOA, and CMBO have values of 93.89%, 93.35%, 92.36%, and 92.24%. Finally, the best result is then determined by evaluating the whole performance. Show more

Abstract: Diagnosing plant disease is a major role to reduce adequate losses in yield production, which further leads to economic losses. The various disease control measures are accessible without a proper diagnosis of the disease which results in a waste of expenses and time. The diagnosis of disease using images leads to unsatisfactory results in the prevalent methods due to the image clarity. It is mainly caused by the worst performance of the existing pre-trained image classifiers. This issue can be controlled by the SMoGW-deep convolutional neural network (deep CNN) classifier for the accurate and precise classification of plant leaf disease. …The developed method transforms the poor-quality captured images into high quality by the preprocessing technique. The preprocessed input images contain pixels on their dimension and also the value of the threshold is analyzed by the Otsu method by which the particular disease-affected region is extracted based on the image pixels. The region of interest is separated from the other parts of the input leaf image using the K-means segmentation technique. The stored features in the feature vector are fed forward to the deep CNN classifier for training and are optimized by the SMoGW optimization approach. The experiments are done and achieved an accuracy of 94.5% sensitivity of 94.525%, specificity of 94.6%, precision of 95% with 90% of training data and under K-fold training with 95% of accuracy, 95% of sensitivity, 94.1% of specificity, and 92.1% of precession is achieved for the SMoGW-optimized classifier approach that is superior to the prevalent techniques for disease classification and detection. The potential, as well as the capability of the proposed method, is experimentally demonstrated for plant leaf disease classification and identification. Show more

Abstract: Ageing and its related health conditions bring many challenges not only to individuals but also to society. Various MRI techniques are defined for the early detection of age-related diseases. Researchers continue the prediction with the involvement of different strategies. In that manner, this research intends to propose a new brain age prediction model under the processing of certain steps like preprocessing, feature extraction, feature selection, and prediction. The initial step is preprocessing, where improved median filtering is proposed to reduce the noise in the image. After this, feature extraction takes place, where shape-based features, statistical features, and texture features are …extracted. Particularly, Improved LGTrP features are extracted. However, the curse of dimensionality becomes a serious issue in this aspect that shrinks the efficiency of the prediction level. According to the “curse of dimensionality,” the number of samples required to estimate any function accurately increases exponentially as the number of input variables increases. Hence, a feature selection model with improvement has been introduced in this paper termed an improved Chi-square. Finally, for prediction purposes, a Hybrid classifier is introduced by combining the models like Bi-GRU and DBN, respectively. In order to enhance the effectiveness of the hybrid method, Upgraded Blue Monkey Optimization with Improvised Evaluation (UBMOIE) is introduced as the training system by tuning the optimal weights in both classifiers. Finally, the performance of the suggested UBMIOE-based brain age prediction method was assessed over the other schemes to various metrics. Show more

Abstract: IoT technologies & UAVs are frequently utilized in ecological monitoring areas. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) & IoT in farming technology can evaluate crop disease & pest incidence from the ground’s micro & macro aspects, correspondingly. UAVs could capture images of farms using a spectral camera system, and these images are been used to examine the presence of agricultural pests and diseases. In this research work, a novel IoT- assisted UAV- based pest detection with Arithmetic Crossover based Black Widow Optimization-Convolutional Neural Network (ACBWO-CNN) model is developed in the field of agriculture. Cloud computing mechanism is used for monitoring and discovering …the pest during crop production by using UAVs. The need for this method is to provide data centers, so there is a necessary amount of memory storage in addition to the processing of several images. Initially, the collected input image by the UAV is assumed on handling the via-IoT-cloud server, from which the pest identification takes place. The pest detection unit will be designed with three major phases: (a) background &foreground Segmentation, (b) Feature Extraction & (c) Classification. In the foreground and background Segmentation phase, the K-means clustering will be utilized for segmenting the pest images. From the segmented images, it extracts the features including Local Binary Pattern (LBP) &improved Local Vector Pattern (LVP) features. With these features, the optimized CNN classifier in the classification phase will be trained for the identification of pests in crops. Since the final detection outcome is from the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN); its weights are fine-tuned through the ACBWO approach. Thus, the output from optimized CNN will portray the type of pest identified in the field. This method’s performance is compared to other existing methods concerning a few measures. Show more
