Recently, the COVID-19 epidemic has had a major impact on day-to-day life of people all over the globe, and it demands various kinds of screening tests to detect the coronavirus. Conversely, the development of deep learning (DL) models combined with radiological images is useful for accurate detection and classification. DL models are full of hyperparameters, and identifying the optimal parameter configuration in such a high dimensional space is not a trivial challenge. Since the procedure of setting the hyperparameters requires expertise and extensive trial and error, metaheuristic algorithms can be employed. With this motivation, this paper presents an automated glowworm swarm optimization (GSO) with an inception-based deep convolutional neural network (IDCNN) for COVID-19 diagnosis and classification, called the GSO-IDCNN model. The presented model involves a Gaussian smoothening filter (GSF) to eradicate the noise that exists from the radiological images. Additionally, the IDCNN-based feature extractor is utilized, which makes use of the Inception v4 model. To further enhance the performance of the IDCNN technique, the hyperparameters are optimally tuned using the GSO algorithm. Lastly, an adaptive neuro-fuzzy classifier (ANFC) is used for classifying the existence of COVID-19. The design of the GSO algorithm with the ANFC model for COVID-19 diagnosis shows the novelty of the work. For experimental validation, a series of simulations were performed on benchmark radiological imaging databases to highlight the superior outcome of the GSO-IDCNN technique. The experimental values pointed out that the GSO-IDCNN methodology has demonstrated a proficient outcome by offering a maximal sensy of 0.9422, specy of 0.9466, precn of 0.9494, accy of 0.9429, and F1score of 0.9394.

Human-centric biomedical diagnosis (HCBD) becomes a hot research topic in the healthcare sector, which assists physicians in the disease diagnosis and decision-making process. Leukemia is a pathology that affects younger people and adults, instigating early death and a number of other symptoms. Computer-aided detection models are found to be useful for reducing the probability of recommending unsuitable treatments and helping physicians in the disease detection process. Besides, the rapid development of deep learning (DL) models assists in the detection and classification of medical-imaging-related problems. Since the training of DL models necessitates massive datasets, transfer learning models can be employed for image feature extraction. In this view, this study develops an optimal deep transfer learning-based human-centric biomedical diagnosis model for acute lymphoblastic detection (ODLHBD-ALLD). The presented ODLHBD-ALLD model mainly intends to detect and classify acute lymphoblastic leukemia using blood smear images. To accomplish this, the ODLHBD-ALLD model involves the Gabor filtering (GF) technique as a noise removal step. In addition, it makes use of a modified fuzzy c-means (MFCM) based segmentation approach for segmenting the images. Besides, the competitive swarm optimization (CSO) algorithm with the EfficientNetB0 model is utilized as a feature extractor. Lastly, the attention-based long-short term memory (ABiLSTM) model is employed for the proper identification of class labels. For investigating the enhanced performance of the ODLHBD-ALLD approach, a wide range of simulations were executed on open access dataset. The comparative analysis reported the betterment of the ODLHBD-ALLD model over the other existing approaches.

Melanoma remains a serious illness which is a common form of skin cancer. Since the earlier detection of melanoma reduces the mortality rate, it is essential to design reliable and automated disease diagnosis model using dermoscopic images. The recent advances in deep learning (DL) models find useful to examine the medical image and make proper decisions. In this study, an automated deep learning based melanoma detection and classification (ADL-MDC) model is presented. The goal of the ADL-MDC technique is to examine the dermoscopic images to determine the existence of melanoma. The ADL-MDC technique performs contrast enhancement and data augmentation at the initial stage. Besides, the k-means clustering technique is applied for the image segmentation process. In addition, Adagrad optimizer based Capsule Network (CapsNet) model is derived for effective feature extraction process. Lastly, crow search optimization (CSO) algorithm with sparse autoencoder (SAE) model is utilized for the melanoma classification process. The exploitation of the Adagrad and CSO algorithm helps to properly accomplish improved performance. A wide range of simulation analyses is carried out on benchmark datasets and the results are inspected under several aspects. The simulation results reported the enhanced performance of the ADL-MDC technique over the recent approaches.
