This study introduces an innovative model, a hybrid of recurrent neural network and long-short-term memory (RNN-LSTM), to predict GDP growth based on remittance inflows in The Gambia. The model integrates data sourced both from the World Bank Development Indicators and the Central Bank of The Gambia (1966-2022). Pearson's correlation was applied to detect and choose the variables that exhibit the strongest relationship with GDP and remittances. Furthermore, a parameter transfer learning technique was employed to enhance the model's predictive accuracy. The hyperparameters of the model were fine-tuned through a random search process, and its effectiveness was assessed using RMSE, MAE, MAPE, and R<sup>2</sup> metrics. The research results show, first, that it has good generalization capacity, with stable applicability in predicting GDP growth based on remittance inflows. Second, as compared to standalone models the suggested model surpassed in term of predicting accuracy attained the highest R<sup>2</sup> score of 91.285%.

This complexity poses a significant challenge in distinguishing tumor tissues from healthy tissues, particularly when radiologists rely on manual segmentation. Reliable and accurate segmentation is crucial for effective tumor grading and treatment planning. In this paper, we proposed a novel ensemble dual-modality approach for 3D brain tumor segmentation using MRI. Initially, individual U-Net models are trained and evaluated on single MRI modalities (T1, T2, T1ce, and FLAIR) to establish each modality's performance. Subsequently, we trained U-net models using combinations of the best-performing modalities to exploit the complementary information and improve segmentation accuracy. Finally, we introduced the ensemble dual-modality by combining the two best-performing pre-trained dual-modalities models to enhance segmentation performance. Experimental results show that the proposed model enhanced the segmentation result and achieved a Dice Coefficient of 97.73% and a Mean IoU of 60.08%. The results illustrate that the ensemble dual-modality approach outperforms single-modality and dual-modality models. Grad-CAM visualizations are implemented, generating heat maps that highlight tumor regions and provide useful information to clinicians about how the model made the decision, increasing their confidence in using deep learning-based systems.
