scholarly journals Phase Recognition of Lung Cancer via Steerable Riesz Wavelets with Rf Algorithm

Lung cancer is one of the diseases which has a high mortality. If the condition is detected earlier, then it is easier to reduce the mortality rate. This lung cancer has caused more deaths in the world than any other cancer. The main objective is to predict lung cancer using a machine learning algorithm. Several computer-aided systems have been designed to reduce the mortality rate due to lung cancer. Machine learning is a promising tool to predict lung cancer in its early phase or stage, where the features of images are trained using a classification model. Generally, machine learning is used to have a good prediction, but in some models, due to lack of efficient feature extraction value, the training has not been done more effectively; hence the predictions are poor. In order to overcome this limitation, the proposed covariant texture model utilizing the steerable Riesz wavelets feature extraction technique to increase the effectiveness of training via the Random Forest algorithm. In this proposed model, the RF algorithm is employed to predict whether the nodule in the image is benign or malignant ii) to find the level of severity (1 to 5), if it is a malignant nodule. Our experiment result can be used as a tool to support the diagnosis and to analyze at an earlier stage of cancer to cure it.

Dengue is unquestionably one of the biggest health concerns in India and for many other developing countries. Unfortunately, many people have lost their lives because of it. Every year, approximately 390 million dengue infections occur around the world among which 500,000 people are seriously infected and 25,000 people have died annually. Many factors could cause dengue such as temperature, humidity, precipitation, inadequate public health, and many others. In this paper, we are proposing a method to perform predictive analytics on dengue’s dataset using KNN: a machine-learning algorithm. This analysis would help in the prediction of future cases and we could save the lives of many.

Extracting features from input data is vital for successful classification and machine learning tasks. Classification is the process of declaring an object into one of the predefined categories. Many different feature selection and feature extraction methods exist, and they are being widely used. Feature extraction, obviously, is a transformation of large input data into a low dimensional feature vector, which is an input to classification or a machine learning algorithm. The task of feature extraction has major challenges, which will be discussed in this paper. The challenge is to learn and extract knowledge from text datasets to make correct decisions. The objective of this paper is to give an overview of methods used in feature extraction for various applications, with a dataset containing a collection of texts taken from social media.


Lung cancer is a serious illness which leads to increased mortality rate globally. The identification of lung cancer at the beginning stage is the probable method of improving the survival rate of the patients. Generally, Computed Tomography (CT) scan is applied for finding the location of the tumor and determines the stage of cancer. Existing works has presented an effective diagnosis classification model for CT lung images. This paper designs an effective diagnosis and classification model for CT lung images. The presented model involves different stages namely pre-processing, segmentation, feature extraction and classification. The initial stage includes an adaptive histogram based equalization (AHE) model for image enhancement and bilateral filtering (BF) model for noise removal. The pre-processed images are fed into the second stage of watershed segmentation model for effectively segment the images. Then, a deep learning based Xception model is applied for prominent feature extraction and the classification takes place by the use of logistic regression (LR) classifier. A comprehensive simulation is carried out to ensure the effective classification of the lung CT images using a benchmark dataset. The outcome implied the outstanding performance of the presented model on the applied test images.

UNSTRUCTURED Tuberculosis (TB) is a precipitating cause of lung cancer. Lung cancer patients coexisting with TB is difficult to differentiate from isolated TB patients. The aim of this study is to develop a prediction model in identifying those two diseases between the comorbidities and TB. In this work, based on the laboratory data from 389 patients, 81 features, including main laboratory examination of blood test, biochemical test, coagulation assay, tumor markers and baseline information, were initially used as integrated markers and then reduced to form a discrimination system consisting of 31 top-ranked indices. Patients diagnosed with TB PCR >1mtb/ml as negative samples, lung cancer patients with TB were confirmed by pathological examination and TB PCR >1mtb/ml as positive samples. We used Spatially Uniform ReliefF (SURF) algorithm to determine feature importance, and the predictive model was built using machine learning algorithm Random Forest. For cross-validation, the samples were randomly split into four training set and one test set. The selected features are composed of four tumor markers (Scc, Cyfra21-1, CEA, ProGRP and NSE), fifteen blood biochemical indices (GLU, IBIL, K, CL, Ur, NA, TBA, CHOL, SA, TG, A/G, AST, CA, CREA and CRP), six routine blood indices (EO#, EO%, MCV, RDW-S, LY# and MPV) and four coagulation indices (APTT ratio, APTT, PTA, TT ratio). This model presented a robust and stable classification performance, which can easily differentiate the comorbidity group from the isolated TB group with AUC, ACC, sensitivity and specificity of 0.8817, 0.8654, 0.8594 and 0.8656 for the training set, respectively. Overall, this work may provide a novel strategy for identifying the TB patients with lung cancer from routine admission lab examination with advantages of being timely and economical. It also indicated that our model with enough indices may further increase the effectiveness and efficiency of diagnosis.
