Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The arrival of the third millennium has brought impressive developments and advances in machine learning algorithms. Recent advances in deep learning, the algorithms of which are accelerated with CUDA hardware cards, deserve special mention. The applications of this type of algorithm have permeated a wide range of human activities, including the sensitive area of health research.

The contents of high-impact research journals bear witness to the efforts of scientists on such relevant topics as the classification, diagnosis and prognosis of diseases. Given the speed with which these investigations are advancing, due to the rapid development of new hardware, software and application platforms, it is necessary to promote new investigations that support physicians and health researchers.

This Special Issue seeks unpublished contributions of high scientific quality on the topic of the classification, diagnosis and prognosis of diseases using machine learning algorithms.

Breast Cancer (BC) detection and classification are critical tasks in medical diagnostics. The lives of patients can be greatly enhanced by the precise and early detection of BC. This study suggests a novel approach for detecting BC that combines deep learning models and sophisticated image processing techniques to address those shortcomings. The BC dataset was pre-processed using histogram equalization and adaptive filtering. Data augmentation was performed using cycle-consistent GANs (CycleGANs). Handcrafted features like Haralick features, Gabor filters, contour-based features, and morphological features were extracted, along with features from deep learning architecture VGG16. Then, we employed a hybrid optimization model, combining the Sparrow Search Algorithm (SSA) and Red Deer Algorithm (RDA), called Hybrid Red Deer with Sparrow optimization (HRDSO), to select the most informative subset of features. For detecting BC, we proposed a new DenseXtNet architecture by combining DenseNet and optimized ResNeXt, which is optimized using the hybrid optimization model HRDSO. The proposed model was evaluated using various performance metrics and compared with existing methods, demonstrating that its accuracy is 97.58% in BC detection. MATLAB was utilized for implementation and evaluation purposes. Full article
