A study on deep feature extraction to detect and classify Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL)

Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) is a blood malignancy that mainly affects adults and children. This study looks into the use of deep learning, specifically Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), for the detection and classification of ALL. Conventional techniques for ALL diagnosis, such bone marrow biopsy, are costly and prone to mistakes made by hand. By utilising automated technologies, the research seeks to improve diagnostic accuracy. The research uses a variety of pre-trained CNN models, such as InceptionV3, ResNet101, VGG19, DenseNet121, MobileNetV2, and DenseNet121, to extract characteristics from pictures of blood smears. ANOVA, Recursive Feature Elimination (RFE), Random Forest, Lasso, and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) are a few of the selection approaches used to find the most relevant features after feature extraction. Following that, machine learning methods like Na\"ive Bayes, Random Forest, Support Vector Machine (SVM), and K-Nearest Neighbours (KNN) are used to classify these features. With an 87% accuracy rate, the ResNet101 model produced the best results, closely followed by DenseNet121 and VGG19. According to the study, CNN-based models have the potential to decrease the need for medical specialists by increasing the speed and accuracy of ALL diagnosis. To improve model performance, the study also recommends expanding and diversifying datasets and investigating more sophisticated designs such as transformers. This study highlights how well automated deep learning systems do medical diagnosis.

A Semantic Segmentation Approach on Sweet Orange Leaf Diseases Detection Utilizing YOLO

This research introduces an advanced method for diagnosing diseases in sweet orange leaves by utilising advanced artificial intelligence models like YOLOv8 . Due to their significance as a vital agricultural product, sweet oranges encounter significant threats from a variety of diseases that harmfully affect both their yield and quality. Conventional methods for disease detection primarily depend on manual inspection which is ineffective and frequently leads to errors, resulting in delayed treatment and increased financial losses. In response to this challenge, the research utilized YOLOv8 , harnessing their proficiencies in detecting objects and analyzing images. YOLOv8 is recognized for its rapid and precise performance, while VIT is acknowledged for its detailed feature extraction abilities. Impressively, during both the training and validation stages, YOLOv8 exhibited a perfect accuracy of 80.4%, while VIT achieved an accuracy of 99.12%, showcasing their potential to transform disease detection in agriculture. The study comprehensively examined the practical challenges related to the implementation of AI technologies in agriculture, encompassing the computational demands and user accessibility, and offering viable solutions for broader usage. Moreover, it underscores the environmental considerations, particularly the potential for reduced pesticide usage, thereby promoting sustainable farming and environmental conservation. These findings provide encouraging insights into the application of AI in agriculture, suggesting a transition towards more effective, sustainable, and technologically advanced farming methods. This research not only highlights the efficacy of YOLOv8 within a specific agricultural domain but also lays the foundation for further studies that encompass a broader application in crop management and sustainable agricultural practices.
