A Decision Support System for Diagnosing Diabetes Using Deep Neural Network.

Background and Objective: According to the WHO, diabetes mellitus is a long-term condition marked by high blood sugar levels. The consequences might be far-reaching. According to current increases in mortality, diabetes has risen to number 10 among the leading causes of mortality worldwide. When used to predict diabetes using unbalanced datasets from testing, machine learning (ML) classifiers and established approaches for encoding categorical data have exhibited a broad variety of surprising outcomes. Early studies also made use of an artificial neural network to extract features without obtaining a grasp of the sequence information. Methods: This study offers a deep learning-based decision support system (DSS), utilizing bidirectional long/short-term memory (BiLSTM), to accurately predict diabetic illness from patient data. In order to predict diabetes, the BiLSTM hybrid model was used after balancing the data set. Results: Unlike earlier studies, this proposed model's trial findings were promising, with an accuracy of 93.07%, 93% precision, 92% recall, and a 92% F1-score. Conclusions: Using a BILSTM model for classification outperforms current approaches in the diabetes detection domain.

Facial Mask Detection Using Depthwise Separable Convolutional Neural Network Model During COVID-19 Pandemic

Deep neural networks have made tremendous strides in the categorization of facial photos in the last several years. Due to the complexity of features, the enormous size of the picture/frame, and the severe inhomogeneity of image data, efficient face image classification using deep convolutional neural networks remains a challenge. Therefore, as data volumes continue to grow, the effective categorization of face photos in a mobile context utilizing advanced deep learning techniques is becoming increasingly important. In the recent past, some Deep Learning (DL) approaches for learning to identify face images have been designed;many of them use convolutional neural networks (CNNs). To address the problem of face mask recognition in facial images, we propose to use a Depthwise Separable Convolution Neural Network based on MobileNet (DWS-based MobileNet). The proposed network utilizes depth-wise separable convolution layers instead of 2D convolution layers. With limited datasets, the DWS-based MobileNet performs exceptionally well. DWS-based MobileNet decreases the number of trainable parameters while enhancing learning performance by adopting a lightweight network. Our technique outperformed the existing state of the art when tested on benchmark datasets. When compared to Full Convolution MobileNet and baseline methods, the results of this study reveal that adopting Depthwise Separable Convolution-based MobileNet significantly improves performance (Acc. = 93.14, Pre. = 92, recall = 92, F-score = 92).
