These platforms facilitate the exchange of user opinions and ideas, providing valuable insights into user attitudes and preferences. Despite advancements in Mobile Edge Computing, challenges persist in effectively categorizing customer reviews due to latency, data scarcity, and overfitting issues in computational models. This study integrates natural language processing techniques with edge computing infrastructure to analyze reviews closer to their source, thereby minimizing latency and improving overall performance. To enhance the detection accuracy in Mobile Edge customer reviews, this paper proposes an innovative approach called the Ensemble Sparse Support Vector L1 Regularization-based Crossover Discrete Mycorrhized Algorithm. Pre-processing steps, such as tokenization, lemmatization, and stemming, are employed to improve data quality. Feature extraction is performed using a stacked autoencoder, which incorporates multiple layers to address data scarcity issues. To optimize the performance of the Sparse Support Vector L1 Regularization, a novel Crossover Discrete Mycorrhized Optimization Algorithm is introduced, mitigating overfitting and improving classification accuracy. The proposed approach is validated using datasets such as the Mobile Recommendation System Dataset, Mobile Positioning Dataset, Mobile Edge Distance Analysis Dataset, International Phone Checker API, and Financial Fraud Detection Dataset.

Overdependence on background information can result in erroneous model classification. We propose a Key Feature Consistency Network (KFCNet) to resolve these concerns.

Through the process of randomly cropping images and picking critical features, the Local Feature Selection Module enhances the model’s capacity to collect subtle discriminative information. The Interference Feature Learning Module leverages the abundant information in low-level features to acquire and filter interference features via an attention method, hence improving classification robustness. The Semantic Enhancement Module eliminates interference from mid-level features and amplifies critical feature responses, allowing the model to precisely identify urine sediment among intricate backgrounds.

Artificial intelligence (AI), particularly deep learning (DL), has shown exceptional promise, often surpassing human expertise in diagnosing lung cancer. However, the vulnerability of DL models to adversarial noise—imperceptible perturbations designed to mislead models—remains underexplored in medical imaging. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to comprehensively analyze the effects of targeted and untargeted adversarial noise on DL-based medical diagnosis models. Additionally, we propose a novel three-tier defense strategy to mitigate these adversarial impacts on radiology images. The proposed approach combines modified adversarial training (MAT) during the training phase with Total Variation Minimization (TVM) flowed by bit-plane slicing (BPS) at the testing phase, ensuring robust performance against adversarial attacks in all the phases. MAT strengthens model resilience by exposing it to adversarial examples with varying epsilon values, improving its ability to counter diverse perturbations. At inference, TVM reduces high-frequency adversarial noise while preserving essential image structures, and BPS further enhances robustness by extracting critical features and discarding less significant details prone to adversarial manipulation. A lung nodule classification model was developed using transfer learning with DenseNet-121, trained on the publicly available LIDC-IDRI dataset. The model achieved 95.71% training accuracy and 93.17% testing accuracy on clean images. However, when exposed to adversarial attacks such as Fast Gradient Sign Method (FGSM) and Projected Gradient Descent (PGD), accuracy dropped significantly to 13.74% under FGSM and 1.32% under PGD. The proposed defense strategy successfully restored performance, achieving an average accuracy of approximately 93% against both FGSM and PGD attacks. These results demonstrate that the defense approach effectively mitigates adversarial noise across both training and testing phases, improving the reliability of DL models in medical image analysis. By enhancing robustness in lung cancer detection, this study contributes to the advancement of AI-driven healthcare, ensuring safer and more trustworthy diagnostic systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55362,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical Signal Processing and Control","volume":"109 ","pages":"Article 107969"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144071502","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
