A hybrid evolutionary deep learning model was proposed by integrating genetic and histopathological imaging modalities within a multimodal fusion framework. Machine learning pipelines have been built using feature selection and dilution approaches to identify the most relevant genes for disease classification. A comparison was performed between the UNeT and transformer models for semantic segmentation, leading to the development of an optimized fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm (FCM-NPOA-PM-UI) for the classification of gynecological abdominopelvic tumors.
