Monkeypox disease is caused by a virus that causes lesions on the skin and has been observed on the African continent in the past years. The fatal consequences caused by virus infections after the COVID pandemic have caused fear and panic among the public. As a result of COVID reaching the pandemic dimension, the development and implementation of rapid detection methods have become important. In this context, our study aims to detect monkeypox disease in case of a possible pandemic through skin lesions with deep-learning methods in a fast and safe way. Deep-learning methods were supported with transfer learning tools and hyperparameter optimization was provided. In the CNN structure, a hybrid function learning model was developed by customizing the transfer learning model together with hyperparameters. Implemented on the custom model MobileNetV3-s, EfficientNetV2, ResNET50, Vgg19, DenseNet121, and Xception models. In our study, AUC, accuracy, recall, loss, and F1-score metrics were used for evaluation and comparison. The optimized hybrid MobileNetV3-s model achieved the best score, with an average F1-score of 0.98, AUC of 0.99, accuracy of 0.96, and recall of 0.97. In this study, convolutional neural networks were used in conjunction with optimization of hyperparameters and a customized hybrid function transfer learning model to achieve striking results when a custom CNN model was developed. The custom CNN model design we have proposed is proof of how successfully and quickly the deep learning methods can achieve results in classification and discrimination.

Sentiment Analysis (SA) is an active research area. SA aims to classify the online unstructured user-generated contents (UUGC) into positive and negative classes. A reliable training data is vital to learn a sentiment classifier for textual sentiment classification, but due to domain heterogeneity, manually construction of reliable labeled sentiment corpora is a laborious and time-consuming task. In the absence of enough labeled data, the alternative usage of sentiment lexicons and semi-supervised learning approaches for sentiment classification have substantially attracted the attention of the research community. However, state-of-the-art techniques for semi-supervised sentiment classification present research challenges expressed in questions like the following. How to effectively utilize the concealed significant information in the unstructured data? How to learn the model while considering the most effective sentiment features? How to remove the noise and redundant features? How to refine the initial training data for initial model learning as the random selection may lead to performance degradation? Besides, mainly existing lexicons have trouble with word coverage, which may ignore key domain-specific sentiment words. Further research is required to improve the sentiment lexicons for textual sentiment classification. In order to address such research issues, in this paper, we propose a novel unified sentiment analysis framework for textual sentiment classification called LeSSA. Our main contributions are threefold. (a) lexicon construction, generating quality and wide coverage sentiment lexicon. (b) training classification models based on a high-quality training dataset generated by using k-mean clustering, active learning, self-learning, and co-training algorithms. (c) classification fusion, whereby the predictions from numerous learners are confluences to determine final sentiment polarity based on majority voting, and (d) practicality, that is, we validate our claim while applying our model on benchmark datasets. The empirical evaluation of multiple domain benchmark datasets demonstrates that the proposed framework outperforms existing semi-supervised learning techniques in terms of classification accuracy.
