Lung tumor is a complex disease caused due to the irregular growth of lung cells. A key factor in effective treatment planning is the early detection of lung tumor. Visual similarity between benign and malignant nodules, heterogeneity and low contrast variation are the factors that make accurate cancerous lesion recognition, a very challenging task. In this paper, Optimized Deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) and Fuzzy C‐means with Equilibrium optimizer (FCM‐EO) is proposed for classification and segmentation of CT lung images. The proposed architecture is comprised of four phases such as preprocessing, feature extraction, classification and segmentation. In preprocessing, the weighted mean histogram analysis (WMHA) is utilized to enhance the quality of images and noise removal. Hybrid Dual tree‐complex wavelet transform (DT‐CWT) with Gabor filter is proposed in feature extraction to extract the features from the preprocessed images. DCNN model is designed to classify the original images into benign and malignant images. The weight of DCNN model is updated using the Enhanced black widow optimization algorithm (EBWOA). In segmentation, FCM‐EO is introduced to identify the tumor regions and remove the outliers from the malignant images. LIDC‐IDRI dataset is utilized for the experimental analysis and MATLAB is the implementation tool. The simulation analysis is performed for both the classification and segmentation processes. Accuracy, specificity, sensitivity, precision, F‐measure, FROC, DSC, MCC, and IoU are evaluated for both these processes. The experimental results showed the proposed framework is efficient for the identification of tumor from the CT lung images. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The oddity in large information is rising step by step so that the current programming instruments faces trouble in supervision of huge information. Moreover, the pace of the irregularity information in the immense datasets is a key imperative to the exploration business. Along these lines, this paper proposes a novel method for taking care of the large information utilizing Spark structure. The proposed method experiences two stages for arranging the enormous information, which includes highlight choice and arrangement, which is acted in the underlying hubs of Spark engineering. The proposed improvement calculation is named Rider Chaotic Biography streamlining (RCBO) calculation, which is the incorporation of the Rider Optimization Algorithm (ROA) and the standard confused biogeography-based-advancement (CBBO). The proposed RCBO-profound stacked auto-encoder utilizing Spark structure successfully handles the large information for achieving powerful huge information arrangement. Here, the proposed RCBO is utilized for choosing reasonable highlights from the monstrous dataset. Besides, the profound stacked auto-encoder utilizes RCBO for preparing so as to characterize colossal datasets. In this research we focused on problem of supervision related to big information of The Cover type Data in UCI machine learning repository. The dataset describes the forest cover set data to predict the forest cover type from cartographic variables. The dataset is multivariate in nature with number of web hits 263,361. The number of instances is 581012 with 54 numbers of attributes and the task associated for the dataset is classification. The examination of the proposed RCBO-profound stacked auto-encoder-based Spark structure utilizing the UCI AI datasets uncovered that the proposed technique beat different strategies, by procuring maximal exactness of 86.71%, dice coefficient of 92.7%, affectability of 75.2% and explicitness of 95.4% separately.

Despite the rapid improvement in dental health over the last few decades, a significant portion of our population continue seek dental care every year. Estimates show that 13% of adults seek dental care for dental infection or fatigue within four years. The Social and individual burden of this disease can be reduced by its early detection. However, the symptoms of teeth infection in the early stages are not clear, hence, it would be relatively difficult to predict teeth infections based solely on human skills and experience. Big Data (BD) technologies have a great potential in transforming dental care, as they have revolutionized other industries. In addition to reducing cost, they could save millions of lives and improve patient outcomes. This paper proposes a novel integrated prediction model that extracts hidden knowledge from radiographic datasets containing a large volume of dental X-ray images and utilizes this knowledge to predict dental infections. Initially, preprocessing techniques using morphological skeleton and mean approach is applied to eliminate noise and enhance the images. Next, Multi Scale Segmented Region (MSR) approach, Watershed Approach (WA), Sobel edge Detection (SD), Histogram based Segmentation (HS), Trainable Segmentation (TS), Dual Clustering (DC), and Fuzzy C-Means clustering (FCM) are examined for image segmentation and feature extraction. Among these methods, MSR was selected for feature extraction since it outperformed other methods in terms of accuracy, specificity, precision, recall and F1-score. Then, a set of neural network classifiers are trained to identify patterns in the extracted optimized features and predict dental infections. For this purpose, we have examined Bacterial Optimized Recurrent Neural Networks (BORNN), Deep Learning Neural Networks (DANN), Genetic Optimized Neural Networks (GONN) and Adaptive Neural Networks Algorithm (ADNN). BORNN have shown maximum accuracy and Roc value (98.1% and 0.92 respectively), and minimum error values (MSE = 0.189, MAE = 0.143). The output of the proposed integrated prediction model is fed into a dental robot who proceeds with the treatment process with high accuracy and minimum delay. The proposed prediction model was implemented using a big data analytics tool called Apache SAMOA and experimental results showed its correctness and effectiveness. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Classification plays a crucial role in big data, especially in e-commerce operations. Deep learning (DL) research has become a new means to provide a better solution to the problem of classification. In this paper, a deep learning spiking neural network model with the objective of building and testing a more biologically plausible network is proposed. The model is simulated using NengoDL simulator along with TensorFlow in a python environment. The performance of the model is evaluated using FashionMNIST dataset owing to its complexity than the existing MNIST dataset. The results provided better performance, and advantages are viewed in terms of area efficiency due to the use of lesser number of neurons, increasingly biologically plausible network and ease of implementation in hardware like FPGA as SNN is involved.

Nowadays, big data plays a substantial part in information knowledge analysis, manipulation, and forecasting. Analyzing and extracting knowledge from such big datasets are a very challenging task due to the imbalance of data distribution, which could lead to a biased classification results and wrong decisions. The standard classifiers are not capable of handling such datasets. Hence, a new technique for dealing with such datasets is required. This paper proposes a novel classification framework for big data that consists of three developed phases. The first phase is the feature selection phase, which uses the Whale optimization algorithm (WOA) for finding the best set of features. The second phase is the preprocessing phase, which uses the SMOTE algorithm and the LSH-SMOTE algorithm for solving the class imbalance problem. Lastly, the third phase is WOA + BRNN algorithm, which is using the Whale optimization algorithm for training a deep learning approach called bidirectional recurrent neural network for the first time. Our proposed algorithm WOA-BRNN has been tested against nine highly imbalanced datasets one of them is big dataset in terms of area under curve (AUC) against four of the most common use machine learning algorithms (Naïve Bayes, AdaBoostM1, decision table, random tree), in addition to GWO-MLP (training multilayer perceptron using Gray Wolf Optimizer), then we test our algorithm over four well-known datasets against GWO-MLP and particle swarm optimization (PSO-MLP), genetic algorithm (GA-MLP), ant colony optimization (ACO-MLP), evolution strategy (ES-MLP), and population-based incremental learning (PBIL-MLP) in terms of classification accuracy. Experimental results proved that our proposed algorithm WOA + BRNN has achieved promising accuracy and high local optima avoidance, and outperformed four of the most common use machine learning algorithms, and GWO-MLP in terms of AUC.

Many current intrinsically interpretable machine learning models can only handle the data that are linear, low-dimensional, and relatively independent attributes and often with discrete attribute values, while the models that are capable of handling high-dimensional nonlinear data, like deep learning, have very poor interpretability. Based on the geometric characteristics, a new idea of accurately wrapping the data region with minimum-volume geometry is proposed for pattern classification. The Variance Hyper Rectangle (VHR) model presented in this paper is a realization of the idea. The VHR model uses the minimum-volume hyper rectangles, obtained through projection variance calculation, to wrap the regions occupied by a category of data, hence it has strong and clear geometric interpretability. In addition, the VHR model is well suited for large data volume, as it approaches the linear complexity in both time and space. Extensive qualitative and quantitative experiments are performed on seven real-world data sets, demonstrating that VHR outperforms the state-of-the-art interpretable methods while running quickly. [Display omitted] • VHR has strong geometric interpretability, and is much reliable and trustworthy. • VHR can provide a clear range of values in each direction for a category of data. • VHR naturally supports incremental learning without any extra processing. • VHR has great performance and stability, and is able to handle big data.

In recent years, an increasing number of cabled Fixed Underwater Observatories (FUOs) have been deployed, many of them equipped with digital cameras recording high-resolution digital image time series for a given period. The manual extraction of quantitative information from these data regarding resident species is necessary to link the image time series information to data from other sensors but requires computational support to overcome the bottleneck problem in manual analysis. As a priori knowledge about the objects of interest in the images is almost never available, computational methods are required that are not dependent on the posterior availability of a large training data set of annotated images. In this paper, we propose a new strategy for collecting and using training data for machine learning-based observatory image interpretation much more efficiently. The method combines the training efficiency of a special active learning procedure with the advantages of deep learning feature representations. The method is tested on two highly disparate data sets. In our experiments, we can show that the proposed method ALMI achieves on one data set a classification accuracy A > 90% with less than N = 258 data samples and A > 80% after N = 150 iterations, i.e., training samples, on the other data set outperforming the reference method regarding accuracy and training data required.

Due to the insidious characteristics of network intrusion behaviors, developing an efficient intrusion detection system is still a big challenge, especially in the era of big data where the number of traffic and the dimension of each traffic feature are high. Because of the shortcomings of traditional common machine learning algorithms in network intrusion detection, such as insufficient accuracy, a network intrusion detection system based on LightGBM and autoencoder (AE) is proposed. The LightGBM-AE model proposed in this paper includes three steps: data preprocessing, feature selection, and classification. The LightGBM-AE model adopts the LightGBM algorithm for feature selection, and then uses an autoencoder for training and detection. When a set of data containing network intrusion behaviors are inputted into an autoencoder, there is a large reconstruction error between the original input data and the reconstructed data obtained by the autoencoder, which provides a basis for intrusion detection. According to the reconstruction error, an appropriate threshold is set to distinguish symmetrically between normal behavior and attack behavior. The experiment is carried out on the NSL-KDD dataset and implemented using Pytorch. In addition to autoencoder, variational autoencoder (VAE) and denoising autoencoder (DAE) are also used for intrusion detection and are compared with existing machine learning algorithms such as Decision Tree, Random Forest, KNN, GBDT, and XGBoost. The evaluation is carried out through classification evaluation indexes such as accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score. The experimental results show that the method can efficiently separate the attack behavior from normal behavior according to the reconstruction error. Compared with other methods, the effectiveness and superiority of this method are verified. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

High-Performance Computing (HPC) has recently been attracting more attention in remote sensing applications due to the challenges posed by the increased amount of open data that are produced daily by Earth Observation (EO) programs. The unique parallel computing environments and programming techniques that are integrated in HPC systems are able to solve large-scale problems such as the training of classification algorithms with large amounts of Remote Sensing (RS) data. This paper shows that the training of state-of-the-art deep Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) can be efficiently performed in distributed fashion using parallel implementation techniques on HPC machines containing a large number of Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). The experimental results confirm that distributed training can drastically reduce the amount of time needed to perform full training, resulting in near linear scaling without loss of test accuracy.
