Skin diseases are considered one of the biggest scientific troubles in 21st century because of its especially complex and luxurious prognosis with problems and subjectivity of human interpretation. In cases of deadly illnesses like Melanoma prognosis in early tiers play a critical part in determining the possibility of getting cured. The software of automated strategies will assist in early diagnosis specifically with photographs with variety of analysis. Hence, in this system we present a completely automated machine of skin sickness recognition via lesion images, a device intervention in evaluation to traditional clinical personnel based detection. This system is designed into 3 levels compromising of statistics series and augmentation, designing version and subsequently prediction of disease. This proposed system uses more than one AI algorithms like Convolutional Neural Network and naive Bayes classifier and amalgamated it with image processing tools to shape a higher shape, leading to better accuracy.

The use of image processing tools, machine learning, and deep learning approaches has become very useful and robust in recent years. This paper introduces the detection of the Nosema disease, which is considered to be one of the most economically significant diseases today. This work shows a solution for recognizing and identifying Nosema cells between the other existing objects in the microscopic image. Two main strategies are examined. The first strategy uses image processing tools to extract the most valuable information and features from the dataset of microscopic images. Then, machine learning methods are applied, such as a neural network (ANN) and support vector machine (SVM) for detecting and classifying the Nosema disease cells. The second strategy explores deep learning and transfers learning. Several approaches were examined, including a convolutional neural network (CNN) classifier and several methods of transfer learning (AlexNet, VGG-16 and VGG-19), which were fine-tuned and applied to the object sub-images in order to identify the Nosema images from the other object images. The best accuracy was reached by the VGG-16 pre-trained neural network with 96.25%.

Skin cancer, which is one of the most common types of cancer in the world, is a malignant growth seen on the skin due to various reasons. There was an increase in the number of the cases of skin cancer nearly 200% between 2004-2009. Since the ozone layer is depleting, harmful rays reflected from the sun cannot be filtered. In this case, the likelihood of skin cancer will increase over the years and pose more risks for human beings. Early diagnosis is very significant as in all types of cancers. In this study, a mobile application is developed in order to detect whether the skin spots photographed by using the machine learning technique for early diagnosis have a suspicion of skin cancer. Thus, an auxiliary decision support system is developed that can be used both by the clinicians and individuals. For cases that are predicted to have a risk higher than a certain rate by the machine learning algorithm, early diagnosis could be initiated for the patients by consulting a physician when the case is considered to have a higher risk by machine learning algorithm.

Introduction: Breast cancer is the most prevalent cause of cancer mortality among women. Early diagnosis of breast cancer gives patients greater survival time. The present study aims to provide an algorithm for more accurate prediction and more effective decision-making in the treatment of patients with breast cancer. Methods: The present study was applied, descriptive-analytical, based on the use of computerized methods. We obtained 699 independent records containing nine clinical variables from the UCI machine learning. The EM algorithm was used to analyze the data before normalizing them. Following that, a combination of neural network model based on multilayer perceptron structure with the Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) was used to predict the breast tumor malignancy. Results: After preprocessing the disease data set and reducing data dimensions, the accuracy of the proposed algorithm for training and testing data was 99.6% and 99%, respectively. The prediction accuracy of the proposed model was 99.4%, which would be a satisfying result compared to different methods of machine learning in other studies. Conclusion: Considering the importance of early diagnosis of breast cancer, the results of this study may have highly useful implications for health care providers and planners so as to achieve the early diagnosis of the disease.


India is an agricultural country where most of people are depends on the agriculture. When Plants are infected by the virus, fungus and bacteria, they are mostly seen on leaves and stems of the plants. Because of that, plants production is decreased also economy of the country is decreased. The farmer has to identify the disease and decide which pesticide will be used to control the disease in plants. To finding out which disease affect the plants, the farmer contacts the expert for the solution. The expert gives the advice based on its knowledge and information but sometimes seeking the expert advice is time consuming, expensive and may be not accurate. So, to solve this problem, the image processing techniques and Machine Learning algorithm like Neural Network, Fuzzy Logic and Support Vector Machine gives the better, accurate and affordable solution to control the plants disease than manual method.

In medical image processing, segmentation and extraction of tumor portion from brain MRI is a complex task. It consumes more time and human effort to differentiate the normal and abnormal tissue. Clinical experts need more time to provide accurate results, recent technology developments in image processing reduces the human effort and provides more accurate results which reduces time and death rates by identifying the issues in early stage itself. Machine learning based algorithms occupies a major role in bio medical image processing applications. The performance of machine learning models is in satisfactory levels, but it could be improved by introducing optimization in feature selection stage itself. The research work provides a hybrid manta ray foraging optimization for feature selection from brain tumor MRI images. Convolution neural network is used to test the optimized features and detects the early stage brain tumors. The experimental model is compared with existing artificial neural network, particle swarm optimization algorithm and acquires a better detection and classification accuracy.
