However, challenges like limited image data, inaccurate annotations, and prediction reliability still hinder their broad implementation to establish a trustworthy computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system. This paper introduces a novel weighted-average ensemble model for classifying Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, along with a reliable Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) system that combines the strengths of both ML and DL approaches. Initially, a variety of filtering methods are extensively analyzed to determine the most suitable image representation, with subsequent data augmentation techniques to expand the training data. Second, a modified VGG-19 model was proposed with fine-tuning that was utilized as a feature extractor to extract meaningful features from the training samples. Third, A small-loss approach and probabilistic local outlier factor (pLOF) have been developed on the extracted features to address the label noise issue. Fourth, we proposed an weighted-average ensemble model based on the top five models as base learners, with weights calculated based on their model uncertainty to ensure reliable predictions. Fifth, we calculated Shapley values based on cooperative game theory and performed feature selection with different feature combinations to determine the optimal number of features using SHAP. Finally, we integrate these strategies to develop an interpretable CAD system. This system not only predicts the disease but also generates Grad-CAM images to visualize potential affected areas, enhancing both clarity and diagnostic insight.

In response to the widespread use of this technology in numerous applications, such as military operations, medical care, automated processes, urban domain and so on. WSN handles conditions where it is challenging or impossible for humans to perform measurement tasks physically and effectively. WSNs are fast-expanding networks incorporating many data communications streams. A WSN is made up of a wide amount of economic sensing device nodes with low energy requirements that have been irregularly placed in a particular region. These sensor node devices periodically sense data and record values before sending them to the sink node (or base station) through other sensor nodes. Some concerns should be addressed, such as preserving the sensor nodes' activity and load balancing as much as possible by wisely distributing the overall energy and the significant duplication problem of generated data where some sensor nodes in the monitor region may provide similar data. These are the WSN's most fundament l issues, necessitating the development of new routing and clustering algorithms. Research has proposed several routing algorithms to respond to these challenges and several optimization methods to decide the best route between the broadcaster and reception nodes. LEACH and its various versions with hierarchical clustering are widely utilized to reduce energy consumption, optimize performance, and lengthen the network's longevity. In this survey, We present an in-depth evaluation of LEACH descendant clustering protocols to respond to the previous challenges. We suggest several optimization methods to decide the best route between the broadcaster and reception nodes. Our qualitatively comparative study and analysis organize LEACH-based routing algorithms into five categories: algorithms for optimizing CH selection, algorithms for optimizing data transmission, algorithms for optimizing both CH selection & data transmission, algorithms executed by fuzzy logic approach, and algorithms that use external energy sources to maximize network energy. Moreover, the survey compares these clustered routing techniques based on these criteria. An examination of algorithms is provided, including information on their goals, categories, strategies, assessments, effectiveness, advantages, and disadvantages. This survey gives academics technical guidance regarding the best way to improve algorithms for routing.

These emerging encryption methods render conventional approaches ineffectual in discerning traffic types, consequently posing novel challenges to network security and administration. Evidently, conventional traffic classification techniques are inadequate when it comes to encrypted traffic. Consequently, researchers have turned to machine learning and deep learning models to address this challenge, achieving remarkable results in this domain. Nonetheless, contemporary deep learning models exhibit a propensity to overly depend on self-attention mechanisms while processing 2D feature maps. This mechanism typically focuses only on individual query-key pairs, neglecting the rich contextual information among adjacent keys, thereby limiting their performance in encrypted traffic classification. To address this limitation, our study examines an innovative approach called CoTNet. The CoT module is integrated into the ResNet model to more comprehensively exploit the contextual associations among input keys. This innovation engenders a sturdier and more potent classification model, adept at comprehensively capturing the inherent patterns and correlated information within input features. The suggested method enhances the ResNet model by substituting the conventional 3x3 convolution operations with CoT modules, thereby more effectively harnessing the contextual associations among input keys. In particular, we integrate self-attention mechanisms at various model levels to more thoroughly capture the inherent patterns and correlated information within input features. Experimental results on two real-world datasets show that CoTNet outperforms multiple state-of-the-art methods in the encrypted traffic classification task.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":56010,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Informatics Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2024-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1110866524000380/pdfft?md5=f028923ea9da9ba5fb91d9045eff67b1&pid=1-s2.0-S1110866524000380-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140813606","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}
