However, DL architectures are computationally more demanding. In recent years, researchers have focused on combining the computationally less intensive portion of the DL architectures with ML approaches, say for example, combining the convolutional layer blocks of Convolution Neural Networks (CNNs) into ML algorithms such as Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) and K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) resulting in CNN-XGBoost and CNN-KNN, respectively. However, these approaches are homogenous in the sense that they use a fixed Activation Function (AFs) in the sequence of convolution and pooling layers, thereby limiting the ability to capture unique features. Since various AFs are readily available and each could capture unique features, we propose a Convolution-based Heterogeneous Activation Facility (CHAF) which uses multiple AFs in the convolution layer blocks, one for each block, with a motivation of extracting features in a better manner to improve the accuracy. The proposed CHAF approach is validated on PTB and shown to outperform the homogeneous approaches such as CNN-KNN and CNN-XGBoost. For PTB dataset, proposed CHAF-KNN has an accuracy of 99.55% and an F1 score of 99.68% in just 0.008 s, outperforming the state-of-the-art CNN-XGBoost which has an accuracy of 99.38% and an F1 score of 99.32% in 1.23 s. To validate the generality of the proposed CHAF, experiments were repeated on MIT-BIH dataset, and the proposed CHAF-KNN is shown to outperform CNN-KNN and CNN-XGBoost.","PeriodicalId":93535,"journal":{"name":"Computers, materials & continua","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135317110","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents a novel cascaded model architecture, namely Conformer-CTC/Attention-T5 (CCAT), to build a highly accurate and robust ATC speech recognition model. To tackle the challenges posed by noise and fast speech rate in ATC, the Conformer model is employed to extract robust and discriminative speech representations from raw waveforms. On the decoding side, the Attention mechanism is integrated to facilitate precise alignment between input features and output characters. The Text-To-Text Transfer Transformer (T5) language model is also introduced to handle particular pronunciations and code-mixing issues, providing more accurate and concise textual output for downstream tasks. To enhance the model’s robustness, transfer learning and data augmentation techniques are utilized in the training strategy. The model’s performance is optimized by performing hyperparameter tunings, such as adjusting the number of attention heads, encoder layers, and the weights of the loss function. The experimental results demonstrate the significant contributions of data augmentation, hyperparameter tuning, and error correction models to the overall model performance. On the Our ATC Corpus dataset, the proposed model achieves a Character Error Rate (CER) of 3.44%, representing a 3.64% improvement compared to the baseline model. Moreover, the effectiveness of the proposed model is validated on two publicly available datasets. On the AISHELL-1 dataset, the CCAT model achieves a CER of 3.42%, showcasing a 1.23% improvement over the baseline model. Similarly, on the LibriSpeech dataset, the CCAT model achieves a Word Error Rate (WER) of 5.27%, demonstrating a performance improvement of 7.67% compared to the baseline model. Additionally, this paper proposes an evaluation criterion for assessing the robustness of ATC speech recognition systems. In robustness evaluation experiments based on this criterion, the proposed model demonstrates a performance improvement of 22% compared to the baseline model.","PeriodicalId":93535,"journal":{"name":"Computers, materials & continua","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135317296","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Improved patient outcomes necessitate both early detection and an accurate diagnosis. Histological images are routinely utilized in the process of diagnosing breast cancer. Methods proposed in recent research only focus on classifying breast cancer on specific magnification levels. No study has focused on using a combined dataset with multiple magnification levels to classify breast cancer. A strategy for detecting breast cancer is provided in the context of this investigation. Histopathology image texture data is used with the wavelet transform in this technique. The proposed method comprises converting histopathological images from Red Green Blue (RGB) to Chrominance of Blue and Chrominance of Red (YCBCR), utilizing a wavelet transform to extract texture information, and classifying the images with Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBOOST). Furthermore, SMOTE has been used for resampling as the dataset has imbalanced samples. The suggested method is evaluated using 10-fold cross-validation and achieves an accuracy of 99.27% on the BreakHis 1.0 40X dataset, 98.95% on the BreakHis 1.0 100X dataset, 98.92% on the BreakHis 1.0 200X dataset, 98.78% on the BreakHis 1.0 400X dataset, and 98.80% on the combined dataset.

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) need help describing low-level features and can miss important information. Moreover, accurate smoker detection is vital with minimum false alarms. To answer the issue, the researchers of this paper have turned to a self-attention mechanism inspired by the ViT, which has displayed state-of-the-art performance in the classification task. To effectively enforce the smoking prohibition in non-smoking locations, this work presents a Vision Transformer-inspired model called SmokerViT for detecting smokers. Moreover, this research utilizes a locally curated dataset of 1120 images evenly distributed among the two classes (Smoking and NotSmoking). Further, this research performs augmentations on the smoker detection dataset to have many images with various representations to overcome the dataset size limitation. Unlike convolutional operations used in most existing works, the proposed SmokerViT model employs a self-attention mechanism in the Transformer block, making it suitable for the smoker classification problem. Besides, this work integrates the multi-layer perceptron head block in the SmokerViT model, which contains dense layers with rectified linear activation and linear kernel regularizer with L2 for the recognition task. This work presents an exhaustive analysis to prove the efficiency of the proposed SmokerViT model. The performance of the proposed SmokerViT performance is evaluated and compared with the existing methods, where it achieves an overall classification accuracy of 97.77%, with 98.21% recall and 97.35% precision, outperforming the state-of-the-art deep learning models, including convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and other vision transformer-based models.","PeriodicalId":93535,"journal":{"name":"Computers, materials & continua","volume":"86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135317501","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
