TSA-CNN-AOA: Twitter sentiment analysis using CNN optimized via arithmetic optimization algorithm.

COVID-19, a novel virus from the coronavirus family, broke out in Wuhan city of China and spread all over the world, killing more than 5.5 million people. The speed of spreading is still critical as an infectious disease, and it causes more and more deaths each passing day. COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in many different psychological effects on people's mental states, such as anxiety, fear, and similar complex feelings. Millions of people worldwide have shared their opinions on COVID-19 on several social media websites, particularly on Twitter. Therefore, it is likely to minimize the negative psychological impact of the disease on society by obtaining individuals' views on COVID-19 from social media platforms, making deductions from their statements, and identifying negative statements about the disease. In this respect, Twitter sentiment analysis (TSA), a recently popular research topic, is used to perform data analysis on social media platforms such as Twitter and reach certain conclusions. The present study, too, proposes TSA using convolutional neural network optimized via arithmetic optimization algorithm (TSA-CNN-AOA) approach. Firstly, using a designed API, 173,638 tweets about COVID-19 were extracted from Twitter between July 25, 2020, and August 30, 2020 to create a database. Later, significant information was extracted from this database using FastText Skip-gram. The proposed approach benefits from a designed convolutional neural network (CNN) model as a feature extractor. Thanks to arithmetic optimization algorithm (AOA), a feature selection process was also applied to the features obtained from CNN. Later, K-nearest neighbors (KNN), support vector machine, and decision tree were used to classify tweets as positive, negative, and neutral. In order to measure the TSA performance of the proposed method, it was compared with different approaches. The results demonstrated that TSA-CNN-AOA (KNN) achieved the highest tweet classification performance with an accuracy rate of 95.098. It is evident from the experimental studies that the proposed approach displayed a much higher TSA performance compared to other similar approaches in the existing literature.

COVID-CCD-Net: COVID-19 and colon cancer diagnosis system with optimized CNN hyperparameters using gradient-based optimizer.

Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) is a new types of coronavirus which have turned into a pandemic within a short time. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test is used for the diagnosis of COVID-19 in national healthcare centers. Because the number of PCR test kits is often limited, it is sometimes difficult to diagnose the disease at an early stage. However, X-ray technology is accessible nearly all over the world, and it succeeds in detecting symptoms of COVID-19 more successfully. Another disease which affects people's lives to a great extent is colorectal cancer. Tissue microarray (TMA) is a technological method which is widely used for its high performance in the analysis of colorectal cancer. Computer-assisted approaches which can classify colorectal cancer in TMA images are also needed. In this respect, the present study proposes a convolutional neural network (CNN) classification approach with optimized parameters using gradient-based optimizer (GBO) algorithm. Thanks to the proposed approach, COVID-19, normal, and viral pneumonia in various chest X-ray images can be classified accurately. Additionally, other types such as epithelial and stromal regions in epidermal growth factor receptor (EFGR) colon in TMAs can also be classified. The proposed approach was called COVID-CCD-Net. AlexNet, DarkNet-19, Inception-v3, MobileNet, ResNet-18, and ShuffleNet architectures were used in COVID-CCD-Net, and the hyperparameters of this architecture was optimized for the proposed approach. Two different medical image classification datasets, namely, COVID-19 and Epistroma, were used in the present study. The experimental findings demonstrated that proposed approach increased the classification performance of the non-optimized CNN architectures significantly and displayed a very high classification performance even in very low value of epoch.

Brain tumor segmentation approach based on the extreme learning machine and significantly fast and robust fuzzy C-means clustering algorithms running on Raspberry Pi hardware.

Automatic decision support systems have gained importance in health sector in recent years. In parallel with recent developments in the fields of artificial intelligence and image processing, embedded systems are also used in decision support systems for tumor diagnosis. Extreme learning machine (ELM), is a recently developed, quick and efficient algorithm which can quickly and flawlessly diagnose tumors using machine learning techniques. Similarly, significantly fast and robust fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm (FRFCM) is a novel and fast algorithm which can display a high performance. In the present study, a brain tumor segmentation approach is proposed based on extreme learning machine and significantly fast and robust fuzzy C-means clustering algorithms (BTS-ELM-FRFCM) running on Raspberry Pi (PRI) hardware. The present study mainly aims to introduce a new segmentation system hardware containing new algorithms and offering a high level of accuracy the health sector. PRI's are useful mobile devices due to their cost-effectiveness and satisfying hardware. 3200 training images were used to train ELM in the present study. 20 pieces of MRI images were used for testing process. Figure of merid (FOM), Jaccard similarity coefficient (JSC) and Dice indexes were used in order to evaluate the performance of the proposed approach. In addition, the proposed method was compared with brain tumor segmentation based on support vector machine (BTS-SVM), brain tumor segmentation based on fuzzy C-means (BTS-FCM) and brain tumor segmentation based on self-organizing maps and k-means (BTS-SOM). The statistical analysis on FOM, JSC and Dice results obtained using four different approaches indicated that BTS-ELM-FRFCM displayed the highest performance. Thus, it can be concluded that the embedded system designed in the present study can perform brain tumor segmentation with a high accuracy rate.

An expert system for brain tumor detection: Fuzzy C-means with super resolution and convolutional neural network with extreme learning machine.

Super-resolution, which is one of the trend issues of recent times, increases the resolution of the images to higher levels. Increasing the resolution of a vital image in terms of the information it contains such as brain magnetic resonance image (MRI), makes the important information in the MRI image more visible and clearer. Thus, it is provided that the borders of the tumors in the related image are found more successfully. In this study, brain tumor detection based on fuzzy C-means with super-resolution and convolutional neural networks with extreme learning machine algorithms (SR-FCM-CNN) approach has been proposed. The aim of this study has been segmented the tumors in high performance by using Super Resolution Fuzzy-C-Means (SR-FCM) approach for tumor detection from brain MR images. Afterward, feature extraction and pretrained SqueezeNet architecture from convolutional neural network (CNN) architectures and classification process with extreme learning machine (ELM) were performed. In the experimental studies, it has been determined that brain tumors have been better segmented and removed using SR-FCM method. Using the SquezeeNet architecture, features were extracted from a smaller neural network model with fewer parameters. In the proposed method, 98.33% accuracy rate has been detected in the diagnosis of segmented brain tumors using SR-FCM. This rate is greater 10% than the rate of recognition of brain tumors segmented with fuzzy C-means (FCM) without SR.

A new approach for brain tumor diagnosis system: Single image super resolution based maximum fuzzy entropy segmentation and convolutional neural network.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images can be used to diagnose brain tumors. Thanks to these images, some methods have so far been proposed in order to distinguish between benign and malignant brain tumors. Many systems attempting to define these tumors are based on tissue analysis methods. However, various factors such as the quality of an MRI device, noisy images and low image resolution may decrease the quality of MRI images. To eliminate these problems, super resolution approaches are preferred as a complementary source for brain tumor images. The proposed method benefits from single image super resolution (SISR) and maximum fuzzy entropy segmentation (MFES) for brain tumor segmentation on an MRI image. Later, pre-trained ResNet architecture, which is a convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture, and support vector machine (SVM) are used to perform feature extraction and classification, respectively. It was observed in experimental studies that SISR displayed a higher performance in terms of brain tumor segmentation. Similarly, it displayed a higher performance in terms of classifying brain tumor regions as well as benign and malignant brain tumors. As a result, the present study indicated that SISR yielded an accuracy rate of 95% in the diagnosis of segmented brain tumors, which exceeds brain tumor segmentation using MFES without SISR by 7.5%.
