Early detection through screening is vital for effective treatment and better survival rates. Risk factors include age, genetics, diet, and lifestyle, with symptoms like changes in bowel habits and blood in the stool, though early stages may be asymptomatic. This work proposed a comprehensive multi classes detection and classification of colon cancer. In this work we used publicly available Curated Colon Dataset to diagnose conditions such as esophagitis, ulcerative colitis, polyps, and normal cases. The proposed approach uses advanced deep learning models to integrate pre-processing, segmentation, and classification. The process begins with pre-processing, which involves resizing, contrast enhancement, noise reduction, and normalization of pixel values. This work proposes a Context-Aware Multi-Image Fusion (CA-MIF) technique in the preprocessing phase to improve the visibility of blood vessels and tissue texture, enhancing diagnostic accuracy. The processed images are then input to a U-Net++ model for segmentation, generating masks highlighting regions of interest, including the colon and affected areas. Post-segmentation, image enhancement techniques further refine the quality and clarity of the images. Enhanced images are then classified using the ResNet-50 model, trained to categorize images into four distinct classes: esophagitis, ulcerative colitis, polyps, and normal. In the classification phase, cancerous classes (ulcerative colitis and polyps) undergo additional segmentation using DeepLabv3+. Model 1 (DeepLabv3+) is applied to ulcerative colitis, generating detailed masks to analyze affected regions, while Model 2 (DeepLabv3+) is used for polyps. For the U-Net++ and DeepLabv3+ models, evaluation measures are segmentation accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score; for the ResNet-50 model, these metrics are classification accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score. When it comes to detecting and differentiating between malignant and non-cancerous illnesses, the framework achieves great accuracy., demonstrating its effectiveness and potential for clinical applications in medical image analysis. The results indicate the proposed method’s high efficacy, achieving an F1 score of 99.31. It also demonstrated strong performance metrics with a specificity of 99.91, sensitivity of 99.10, accuracy of 98.18, and a Dice coefficient of 99.82, highlighting its robust capability in accurately detecting colon cancer.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":56010,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Informatics Journal","volume":"29 ","pages":"Article 100609"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143174182","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The adopted methodology was based on the comparative analysis and benchmarking of the performance of feature extraction based on SIFT against traditional image processing techniques with a generic representation on a number of metrics: sensitivity, specificity, and overall diagnostic accuracy. A dataset consisting of annotated prostate MRI images was utilized to train and validate the model.

Spam review detection is rapidly answered by various ML techniques. Review of spamming is more challenging task in multilingual communities. Spammer behavior features and linguistic features often exhibit complex relationships that influence the nature of spam reviews. The unified representation of features is another challenging task in spam detection.

The article proposes two new multi-parameter scenarios for allocating the entire channel pool between different types of requests (mMTC, eMBB) for the model of an integrated open 5G cluster. The scenario with isolation does not allow channel reassignment between requests of different types or originating zones (handover or from the coverage area of the target 5G cluster), while the virtual scenario allows such reassignment. It is shown that using these scenarios, the stationary distribution of probabilities of states of the corresponding two-dimensional Markov chains has a multiplicative form. An information technology has been developed to calculate QoS indicators for different types of requests using these channel allocation scenarios. Studies have been conducted on the effectiveness of using one or another access strategy depending on the loads on the 5G cluster.
