There are many thyroid diseases affecting people all over the world. Many diseases affect the thyroid gland, like hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and thyroid cancer. Thyroid inefficiency can cause severe symptoms in patients. Effective classification and machine learning play a significant role in the timely detection of thyroid diseases. This timely classification will indeed affect the timely treatment of the patients. Automatic and precise thyroid nodule detection in ultrasound pictures is critical for reducing effort and radiologists’ mistake rate. Medical images have evolved into one of the most valuable and consistent data sources for machine learning generation. In this paper, various machine learning algorithms like decision tree, random forest algorithm, KNN, and artificial neural networks on the dataset create a comparative analysis to better predict the disease based on parameters established from the dataset. Also, the dataset has been manipulated for accurate prediction for the classification. The classification was performed on both the sampled and unsampled datasets for better comparison of the dataset. After dataset manipulation, we obtained the highest accuracy for the random forest algorithm, equal to 94.8% accuracy and 91% specificity.
Cancer is a major public health issue in the modern world. Breast cancer is a type of cancer that starts in the breast and spreads to other parts of the body. One of the most common types of cancer that kill women is breast cancer. When cells become uncontrollably large, cancer develops. There are various types of breast cancer. The proposed model discussed benign and malignant breast cancer. In computer-aided diagnosis systems, the identification and classification of breast cancer using histopathology and ultrasound images are critical steps. Investigators have demonstrated the ability to automate the initial level identification and classification of the tumor throughout the last few decades. Breast cancer can be detected early, allowing patients to obtain proper therapy and thereby increase their chances of survival. Deep learning (DL), machine learning (ML), and transfer learning (TL) techniques are used to solve many medical issues. There are several scientific studies in the previous literature on the categorization and identification of cancer tumors using various types of models but with some limitations. However, research is hampered by the lack of a dataset. The proposed methodology is created to help with the automatic identification and diagnosis of breast cancer. Our main contribution is that the proposed model used the transfer learning technique on three datasets, A, B, C, and A2, A2 is the dataset A with two classes. In this study, ultrasound images and histopathology images are used. The model used in this work is a customized CNN-AlexNet, which was trained according to the requirements of the datasets. This is also one of the contributions of this work. The results have shown that the proposed system empowered with transfer learning achieved the highest accuracy than the existing models on datasets A, B, C, and A2.
In recent years, with the deterioration of the earth’s ecological environment, the survival of birds has been more threatened. To protect birds and the diversity of species on earth, it is urgent to build an automatic bird image recognition system. Therefore, this paper assesses the performance of traditional machine learning and deep learning models on image recognition. Also, the help-ability of transfer learning in the field of image recognition is tested to evaluate the best model for bird recognition systems. Three groups of classifiers for bird recognition were constructed, namely, classifiers based on the traditional machine learning algorithms, convolutional neural networks, and transfer learning-based convolutional neural networks. After experiments, these three classifiers showed significant differences in the classification effect on the Kaggle-180-birds dataset. The experimental results finally prove that deep learning is more effective than traditional machine learning algorithms in image recognition as the number of bird species increases. Besides, the obtained results show that when the sample data is small, transfer learning can help the deep neural network classifier to improve classification accuracy.
