An artificial neural network (ANN) is a tool that can be utilized to recognize cancer effectively. Nowadays, the risk of cancer is increasing dramatically all over the world. Detecting cancer is very difficult due to a lack of data. Proper data are essential for detecting cancer accurately. Cancer classification has been carried out by many researchers, but there is still a need to improve classification accuracy. For this purpose, in this research, a two-step feature selection (FS) technique with a 15-neuron neural network (NN), which classifies cancer with high accuracy, is proposed. The FS method is utilized to reduce feature attributes, and the 15-neuron network is utilized to classify the cancer. This research utilized the benchmark Wisconsin Diagnostic Breast Cancer (WDBC) dataset to compare the proposed method with other existing techniques, showing a significant improvement of up to 99.4% in classification accuracy. The results produced in this research are more promising and significant than those in existing papers.

A speech act is a linguistic action intended by a speaker. Speech act classification is an essential part of a dialogue understanding system because the speech act of an utterance is closely tied with the user's intention in the utterance. We propose a neural network model for Korean speech act classification. In addition, we propose a method that extracts morphological features from surface utterances and selects effective ones among the morphological features. Using the feature selection method, the proposed neural network can partially increase precision and decrease training time. In the experiment, the proposed neural network showed better results than other models using comparatively high-level linguistic features. Based on the experimental result, we believe that the proposed neural network model is suitable for real field applications because it is easy to expand the neural network model into other domains. Moreover, we found that neural networks can be useful in speech act classification if we can convert surface sentences into vectors with fixed dimensions by using an effective feature selection method.

In recent decades, heart disease threatens people’s health seriously because of its prevalence and high risk of death. Therefore, predicting heart disease through some simple physical indicators obtained from the regular physical examination at an early stage has become a valuable subject. Clinically, it is essential to be sensitive to these indicators related to heart disease to make predictions and provide a reliable basis for further diagnosis. However, the large amount of data makes manual analysis and prediction taxing and arduous. Our research aims to predict heart disease both accurately and quickly through various indicators of the body. In this paper, a novel heart disease prediction model is given. We propose a heart disease prediction algorithm that combines the embedded feature selection method and deep neural networks. This embedded feature selection method is based on the LinearSVC algorithm, using the L1 norm as a penalty item to choose a subset of features significantly associated with heart disease. These features are fed into the deep neural network we built. The weight of the network is initialized with the He initializer to prevent gradient varnishing or explosion so that the predictor can have a better performance. Our model is tested on the heart disease dataset obtained from Kaggle. Some indicators including accuracy, recall, precision, and F1-score are calculated to evaluate the predictor, and the results show that our model achieves 98.56%, 99.35%, 97.84%, and 0.983, respectively, and the average AUC score of the model reaches 0.983, confirming that the method we proposed is efficient and reliable for predicting heart disease.

This study evaluates an innovative reinforcement method for cold-formed steel (CFS) upright sections through finite element assessment as well as prediction of the normalized ultimate load and deflection of the profiles by artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) techniques. Following the previous experimental studies, several CFS upright profiles with different lengths, thicknesses and reinforcement spacings are modeled and analyzed under flexural loading. The finite element method (FEM) is employed to evaluate the proposed reinforcement method in different upright sections and to provide a valid database for the analytical study. To detect the most influential factor on flexural strength, the “feature selection” method is performed on the FEM results. Then, by using the feature selection method, a hybrid neural network (a combination of multi-layer perceptron algorithm and particle swarm optimization method) is developed for the prediction of normalized ultimate load. The correlation coefficient (R), root mean square error (RMSE), Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE), mean absolute error (MAE) and Wilmot’s index of agreement (WI) are used as the measure of precision. The results show that the geometrical parameters have almost the same contribution in the flexural capacity and deflection of the specimens. According to the performance evaluation indexes, the best model is detected and optimized by tuning other algorithm parameters. The results indicate that the hybrid neural network can successfully predict the normalized ultimate load and deflection.
