The precise identification and characterization of small pulmonary nodules at low-dose CT is a necessary requirement for the completion of valuable lung cancer screening. It is compulsory to develop some automated tool, in order to detect pulmonary nodules at low dose ct at the beginning stage itself. The numerous algorithms had been proposed earlier by many researchers in the past, but, the accuracy of prediction is always a challenging task. In this work, an artificial neural network based methodology is proposed to find the irregular growth of lung tissues. Higher probability of detection is taken as a goal to get an automated tool, with great accuracy. The finest feature sets derived from Haralick Gray level co occurrence Matrix and used as the dimension reduction way for feeding neural network. In this work, a binary Binary classifier neural network has been proposed to identify the normal images out of all the images. The capability of the proposed neural network has been quantitatively computed using confusion matrix and found in terms of classification accuracy.

As the Internet developed, the problem of spam has become increasingly serious. Not only caused great distress to individuals, but also have a great business costs. With improvements in computing speed, neural network is becoming a very good tool for text classification. The purpose of this study is to conduct few experiments by using neural network approach for Chinese mails’ content. The result shows that neural network approach is effective for Chinese mails’ spam-identification and the adjustments of some parameters (the number of keywords, the number of nodes, and the number of categories) also increase the accurate rate, while reducing false positives.
