Nowadays, neural networks have a remarkable importance for medical applications. Because of their advantages such as dealing changing amount of data and resulting to higher accuracies at the end, they are widely used for especially medical diagnosis. At this point, there are different kinds of neural networks already provided successful results to the literature. In this study, it is explained that the classification rate (considering the medical diagnosis) can be increased by using intelligent optimization for feature selection and Autoencoder Based Recurrent Neural Network for performing the diagnosis. In this context, the Electro-Search Algorithm (ES) and Autoencoder Based Recurrent Neural Network (ARNN) have been employed for ensuring practical diagnosis over some known disease data sets from the active literature. The obtained findings by the ES-ARNN approach were compared with the findings by alternative techniques. Along the related evaluations, it was seen that the ES-ARNN resulted to high classification success rates for target medical diagnosis data sets and it also had higher diagnosing rates according to alternative techniques. The study also reports some real world experiences from physicians used the introduced solution over original data.

<i>Abstract </i><br>The definition, diagnosis and classification of Diabetes Mellitus and its complications are very important. First of all, the World Health Organization (WHO) and other societies, as well as scientists have done lots of studies regarding this subject. One of the most important research interests of this subject is the computer supported decision systems for diagnosing diabetes. In such systems, Artificial Intelligence techniques are often used for several disease diagnostics to streamline the diagnostic process in daily routine and avoid misdiagnosis. In this study, a diabetes diagnosis system, which is formed via both Support Vector Machines (SVM) and Cognitive Development Optimization Algorithm (CoDOA) has been proposed. Along the training of SVM, CoDOA was used for determining the sigma parameter of the Gauss (RBF) kernel function, and eventually, a classification process was made over the diabetes data set, which is related to Pima Indians. The proposed approach offers an alternative solution to the field of Artificial Intelligence-based diabetes diagnosis, and contributes to the related literature on diagnosis processes.<br><b>Find more at:</b><b>https://www.edusoft.ro/brain/index.php/brain/article/view/580</b><br>

Abstract The most prominent research area in the field of advanced machine vision paradigm for medical imaging applications is brought by the content-based image retrieval (CBIR) technique. With the help of emerging medical imaging systems, a patient's medical background can be easily obtained in the form of digitized data such as X-rays, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography, ultrasound, nuclear imaging, and so on. In the past, radiologists manually analyzed the patient's health condition. Now, the medical imaging process provides better information and depiction of the different cases. However, the conventional techniques have created some controversies among the various literatures including insufficient feature set, high semantic gap, and computational time complexity. The methods we have used for content retrieval are gray-level cooccurrence matrix, local binary pattern, color cooccurrence matrix, and support vector machine. MRI data were used for the completion of texture and shape-based retrieval. On improvising the previously ordained results, an algorithm is proposed using semantic image retrieval-based CBIR by combining three-dimensional features. This chapter also emphasizes a detailed comparative analysis of various techniques with the proposed method.

Due to the nature of the underwater, underwater images are generally low quality. Therefore, some image enhancement methods are used for clarifying colours, improving the visibility of objects, and increasing image quality. The literature survey reveals that there are several methods for underwater image enhancement. But most of them contains advanced techniques such as artificial intelligence or some procedure requires expertise knowledge. In this study, a practical method has been proposed to improve underwater images easily. This method consists of the methods: histogram equalization and also contrast-limited adaptive histogram equalization. The performance test of the proposed method has been evaluated by using the entropy value, PSNR (Peak Signal to Noise Ratio) and the MSE (Mean Square Error) considering some existing methods in the literature. The obtained results indicate that the introduced method is very efficient and successful to improve all kind of underwater images.

Due to the absorption and scattering of light in underwater environment, underwater images have poor contrast and resolution. This situation generally causes to a color, which became more dominant than the other ones. Because of that, analyzing underwater images effectively and identifying any object under the water has become a difficult task. In this paper, an underwater enhancement approach by using differential evolution algorithm was proposed. In the approach, a contrast enhancement in the RGB space is done. By using the approach, both scattering and absorption effects are reduced.

The objective of this paper is to introduce an artificial intelligence based optimization approach, which is inspired from Piaget’s theory on cognitive development. The approach has been designed according to essential processes that an individual may experience while learning something new or improving his / her knowledge. These processes are associated with the Piaget’s ideas on an individual’s cognitive development. The approach expressed in this paper is a simple algorithm employing swarm intelligence oriented tasks in order to overcome single-objective optimization problems. For evaluating effectiveness of this early version of the algorithm, test operations have been done via some benchmark functions. The obtained results show that the approach / algorithm can be an alternative to the literature in terms of single-objective optimization. The authors have suggested the name: Cognitive Development Optimization Algorithm (CoDOA) for the related intelligent optimization approach.

In this paper, a novel underwater image enhancement approach was proposed. This approach includes use of a method formed by the wavelet transform and the differential evolution algorithm. In the method, the contrast adjustment function was applied to the original underwater image first. Then, the homomorphic filtering technique was used to normalize the brightness in the image. After these steps, the underwater image was separated into its R, G, and B components. Then wavelet transform function was performed on each of the R, G, and B channels with Haar wavelet decomposition. Thus, detailed images were obtained for each of the color channels by wavelet transform low-pass approximation (cA), horizontal (cH), vertical (cV) and diagonal (cD) coefficients. Four parameters of weights (w) of each component cA, cH, cV, and cD situated in the R, G, and B color channels were optimized using differential evolution algorithm. In the proposed method, differential evolution algorithm was employed to find the optimum w parameters for Entropy and PSNR in separate approaches. Finally, unsharp mask filter was used to enhance the edges in the image. As an evaluation approach, performance of the proposed method was tested by using the criteria of entropy, PSNR, and MSE. The obtained results showed that the effectiveness of the proposed method was better than the existing techniques. Likewise, the visual quality of the image was also improved more thanks to the proposed method.

Iron (Fe) chelating medicines and Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors are two therapy options for hereditary Friedreich's Ataxia that have been shown to improve clinical results (FA). Fe chelation molecules can be used to minimize the quantity of stored Fe, and HDAC inhibitors can be used to boost the expression of the Frataxin (FXN) gene in the process of enhancing FA. A complete quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) search of inhibitors from the ChEMBL database is reported in this paper, which includes 437 compounds for Fe chelation and 1,354 compounds for HDAC inhibitors. For further investigation, the IC50 was chosen as the unit of bioactivity, and following data refinement, a final dataset of 436 and 1,163 compounds for Fe chelation and HDAC inhibition, respectively, was produced. The Random Forest (RF) technique was used to generate models, and the models created using the PubChem fingerprint were the strongest of the 12 fingerprint kinds, hence that featur...
