A novel finite spectral entropy: Gated term memory unit recursive network integrated with Ladybug Beetle Optimization algorithm for epileptic seizure detection

Abstract

Professional medical experts use a visual electroencephalography (EEG) signal for epileptic seizure detection, although this method is time‐consuming and highly subject to bias. The majority of previous epileptic detection techniques have poor efficiency, detection performance and also which are unsuited to handle large datasets. In order to solve the aforementioned issues and to assist medical professionals with an advanced technology, a computerized epileptic seizure detection system is essential. Therefore, the proposed work intends to design an automated detection tool for predicting an epileptic seizure from EEG signals. For this purpose, a novel non‐linear feature analysis and deep learning algorithms are deployed in this work. Initially, the signal decomposition, filtering and artifacts removal operations are carried out with the use of finite Haar wavelet transformation technique. After that, the finite spectral entropy (FSE) based feature extraction model has been used to extract the time, frequency, and time‐frequency features from the normalized signal. Consequently, the novel gated term memory unit recursive network (GTRN) model is employed to predict the given EEG signal as whether healthy or seizure affected including the class with high accuracy. During this process, the recently developed Ladybug Beetle Optimization (LBO) algorithm is used to compute the logistic sigmoid function based on the solution. The purpose of using this algorithm is to simplify the process of classification with increased seizure prediction accuracy and performance. Moreover, the standard and popular benchmark EEG datasets are used to validate and test the results of the proposed FSE‐GTRN‐LBO mechanism. By leveraging the finite Haar wavelet transformation and FSE‐based feature extraction, we can efficiently process EEG signals. The utilization of the GTRN model enables accurate classification of healthy and seizure‐affected EEG data. To optimize the classification process further, we integrate the LBO algorithm, streamlining the computation of the logistic sigmoid function. Through comprehensive validation on standard EEG datasets, our proposed FSE‐GTRN‐LBO mechanism achieves outstanding seizure prediction accuracy and performance, surpassing existing state‐of‐the‐art techniques.
