Gliomas, characterized by their invasive nature, unpredictable localization, and heterogeneous subregions, pose a substantial threat to public health. Accurate segmentation of glioma subregions within magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images is pivotal for the efficient planning of treatment and the prognostication of overall patient survival. This review examines recent advancements in glioma brain tumor segmentation (BTS) and overall survival (OS) prediction while addressing inherent biases and proposing innovative solutions. We explore the evolution of convolutional neural network (CNN) architectures, from traditional 2D CNNs to advanced 2.5D and 3D CNNs, which have greatly enhanced segmentation accuracy and efficiency. Furthermore, cutting-edge techniques for BTS, including attention mechanisms, ensemble methods, transformer-based models, and generative adversarial networks (GANs), are discussed. Additionally, we examine machine learning (ML) models for OS prediction, including support vector machines (SVM) and random forest regressors (RFRs), as well as pioneering methods such as radiomics-based approaches, consensus-based classifiers, and explainable artificial intelligence (XAI). By comparing different preprocessing techniques, model architectures, data sources, and evaluation metrics, we identify the most effective methods and emphasize the importance of collaboration in developing reliable prognostic tools.

To reduce traffic congestion, it is necessary to have accurate information about traffic flow. Accurately predicting traffic flow is challenging due to its uncertainty, nonlinearity and time-varying characteristics. A traffic management system in a city is the most important component for traffic flow prediction. This can assist drivers in selecting the best routes to their intended destinations. Therefore, cities need a comprehensive system for more precise traffic flow forecasts. Consequently, various Artificial Intelligence (AI) based techniques have been developed over time to address the issues associated with traffic flow forecasts. One of them is computational intelligence (CI), a subset of AI that can be used with AI techniques to deal with the nonlinearity and randomness of traffic flow in a better way. This review presents a detailed analysis of evolutionary computation (EC) methodologies, which belong to the field of computational intelligence. Swarm intelligence (SI) and evolutionary algorithms are types of EC techniques, each presenting optimization frameworks characterized by unique theories and objective functions. Most often employed techniques such as particle swarm optimization (PSO), genetic algorithm (GA), ant colony optimization (ACO) and artificial bee colony (ABC) are discussed and have been used to solve road traffic flow prediction problems. Additionally, hybrid approaches that combine EC techniques with AI-based techniques leverage the strengths of both methods to enhance the prediction accuracy of traffic flow models. This study examines and summarizes the most recent articles on the application of EC techniques in traffic flow prediction. Challenges and possibilities for future research work are also illustrated. The objective of this paper is to contribute to the existing knowledge by compiling, analyzing and evaluating the developments in evolutionary computation techniques as they relate to the prediction of traffic flow on roads.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":55473,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Computational Methods in Engineering","volume":"32 3","pages":"1499 - 1523"},"PeriodicalIF":9.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143769921","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
