    Oil spills are one of the serious environmental effects and this needs automated, accurate, and real-time monitoring systems. In this paper, the classicalification model based on the VGG-19 architecture with the deep learning concept is suggested to distinguish between cases of oil spills and non-spills utilizing image data sets. A dataset of 600 images (500 training and 100 test images) was used to train and test the model. The proposed VGG-19 model achieved a level of accuracy of 86.66%, precision of 86.38%, recall of 86.87%, and F1 score of 86.53%. They were compared to the current machine learning models. Random Forest achieved 72.58% accuracy, 72.58% precision, 72.59% recall, and 72.56% F1 score. The SVM model achieved 83.87% accuracy, 83.38% precision, 83.35% recall, and 83.35% F1 score. The Deep Neural Network (DNN) model achieved 85.48% accuracy, 85.58% precision, 85.59% recall, and 85.58% F1 score. The comparative study is well articulated to indicate that VGG-19 model is better than the conventional RF, SVM, and DNN algorithms in all the key performance indicators. The findings validate the fact that the deep learning models can be applicable in real-life environmental monitoring.

    Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a difficult task to manage since it is chronic and difficult to diagnose in the initial stages. Forecasting of this diseases progress is very important in terms of treatment and management at the right time. This work presents the 2DB model, a stacked ensemble of AdaBoost and XGBoost classifiers, to improve the accuracy of the AD diagnosis. The dataset adopted includes extensive health, lifestyle, and cognitive factors collected from Kaggle. The work includes an extensive data pre-processing step where issues such as missing values, and normalization, were also tackled alongside SMOTE to deal with the class imbalances. Feature selection is done through Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) to select the relevant predictors. Two-Stage Dual Boosting (2DB) combines the weight distribution of AdaBoost that reassigns weights to all the misclassified instances with XGBoost's gradient boosting method for classification, where logistic regression is the base classifier for meta-classification. The proposed model was assessed with quantitative measurements such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score to its maximum accuracy of 94.6%. The performance shows that the proposed Two-Stage Dual Boosting (2DB) model's generalization significantly outperforms traditional classifiers while providing accurate predictions of Alzheimer's disease with better robustness and interpretability. The results of this work show the possibility of increasing the diagnostic accuracy of the junction hybrid machine learning models and have important potential for clinical usage in early diagnosis.
  • OncoScan Web Based Deep Learning System for Multi Class Skin Lesion Diagnosis

    Skin cancer is a life-threatening disease that requires early detection for effective treatment. Traditional diagnostic methods, which rely on visual examination by dermatologists, can be subjective and prone to error. Recent advancements in deep learning have shown promise in automating skin cancer detection through skin image analysis. This study presents a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)-based system specifically designed for multi-class skin lesion classification. A curated dataset comprising cancerous and non-cancerous skin images was used, with cancerous lesions categorized into seven types: Actinic Keratosis, Basal Cell Carcinoma, Dermatofibroma, Melanoma, Nevus, Pigmented Benign Keratosis, and Seborrheic Keratosis, and non-cancerous lesions classified into five types: Skin Warts, Scabies, Infectious Erythema, Impetigo, and Chickenpox. All images underwent preprocessing, including resizing, normalization, and augmentation, to enhance feature extraction and address class imbalance. The proposed CNN architecture, with optimized convolutional and pooling layers, achieved high classification performance, demonstrating its effectiveness in automated skin lesion diagnosis. Furthermore, we outline a Hybrid Attention-based Deep Learning framework combining ResNet-50 with Channel and Spatial Attention Modules as a future direction to further improve feature representation and robustness. This automated approach has the potential to support dermatologists in early diagnosis, increase reliability, and contribute to better patient outcomes.
