Abstract Breast cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer mortality world-wide, with accurate molecular subtyping is critical for guiding treatment and improving patient outcomes. Traditional molecular subtyping via immuno-histochemistry (IHC) test is invasive, time-consuming, and may not fully represent tumor heterogeneity. This study proposes a non-invasive approach using digital mammography images and deep learning algorithm for classifying breast cancer molecular subtypes. Four pretrained models, including two Convolutional Neural Networks (MobileNet_V3_Large and VGG-16) and two Vision Transformers (ViT_B_16 and ViT_Base_Patch16_Clip_224) were fine-tuned to classify images into HER2-enriched, Luminal, Normal-like, and Triple Negative subtypes.

Abstract Advanced traffic monitoring systems encounter substantial challenges in vehicle detection and classification due to the limitations of conventional methods, which often demand extensive computational resources and struggle with diverse data acquisition techniques. This research presents a novel approach for vehicle classification and recognition in aerial image sequences, integrating multiple advanced techniques to enhance detection accuracy. The proposed model begins with preprocessing using Multiscale Retinex (MSR) to enhance image quality, followed by Expectation-Maximization (EM) Segmentation for precise foreground object identification. Vehicle detection is performed using the state-of-the-art YOLOv10 framework, while feature extraction incorporates Maximally Stable Extremal… More >

Abstract Accurate plant species classification is essential for many applications, such as biodiversity conservation, ecological research, and sustainable agricultural practices. Traditional morphological classification methods are inherently slow, labour-intensive, and prone to inaccuracies, especially when distinguishing between species exhibiting visual similarities or high intra-species variability. To address these limitations and to overcome the constraints of image-only approaches, we introduce a novel Artificial Intelligence-driven framework. This approach integrates robust Vision Transformer (ViT) models for advanced visual analysis with a multi-modal data fusion strategy, incorporating contextual metadata such as precise environmental conditions, geographic location, and phenological traits. This combination… More >

Abstract Background: Accurate classification of normal blood cells is a critical foundation for automated hematological analysis, including the detection of pathological conditions like leukemia. While convolutional neural networks (CNNs) excel in local feature extraction, their ability to capture global contextual relationships in complex cellular morphologies is limited. This study introduces a hybrid CNN-Transformer framework to enhance normal blood cell classification, laying the groundwork for future leukemia diagnostics. Methods: The proposed architecture integrates pre-trained CNNs (ResNet50, EfficientNetB3, InceptionV3, CustomCNN) with Vision Transformer (ViT) layers to combine local and global feature modeling. Four hybrid models were evaluated on… More >

Abstract Integrating multiple medical imaging techniques, including Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Computed Tomography, Positron Emission Tomography (PET), and ultrasound, provides a comprehensive view of the patient health status. Each of these methods contributes unique diagnostic insights, enhancing the overall assessment of patient condition. Nevertheless, the amalgamation of data from multiple modalities presents difficulties due to disparities in resolution, data collection methods, and noise levels. While traditional models like Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) excel in single-modality tasks, they struggle to handle multi-modal complexities, lacking the capacity to model global relationships. This research presents a novel approach for… More >

Abstract The changing nature of malware poses a cybersecurity threat, resulting in significant financial losses each year. However, traditional antivirus tools for detecting malware based on signatures are ineffective against disguised variations as they have low levels of accuracy. This study introduces Data Efficient Image Transformer-Malware Classifier (DeiT-MC), a system for classifying malware that utilizes Data-Efficient Image Transformers. DeiT-MC treats malware samples as visual data and integrates a newly developed Hybrid GridBay Optimizer (HGBO) for hyperparameter optimization and better model performance under varying malware scenarios. With HGBO, DeiT-MC outperforms the state-of-the-art techniques with a strong accuracy More >

Abstract What causes object detection in video to be less accurate than it is in still images? Because some video frames have degraded in appearance from fast movement, out-of-focus camera shots, and changes in posture. These reasons have made video object detection (VID) a growing area of research in recent years. Video object detection can be used for various healthcare applications, such as detecting and tracking tumors in medical imaging, monitoring the movement of patients in hospitals and long-term care facilities, and analyzing videos of surgeries to improve technique and training. Additionally, it can be used… More >
