        Gastric cancer is the second most common cancer worldwide, responsible for the death of many people in society. One of the issues regarding this disease is the absence of early and accurate detection. In the medical industry, gastric cancer is diagnosed by conducting numerous tests and imagings, which are costly and time-consuming. Therefore, doctors are seeking a cost-effective and time-efficient alternative. One of the medical solutions is Chinese medicine and diagnosis by observing changes of the tongue. Detecting the disease using tongue appearance and color of various sections of the tongue is one of the key components of traditional Chinese medicine. In this study, a method is presented which can carry out the localization of tongue surface regardless of the different poses of people in images. In fact, if the localization of face components, especially the mouth, is done correctly, the components leading to the biggest distinction in the dataset can be used which is favorable in terms of time and space complexity. Also, since we have the best estimation, the best features can be extracted relative to those components and the best possible accuracy can be achieved in this situation. The extraction of appropriate features in this study is done using deep convolutional neural networks. Finally, we use the random forest algorithm to train the proposed model and evaluate the criteria. Experimental results show that the average classification accuracy has reached approximately 73.78 which demonstrates the superiority of the proposed method compared to other methods.

        A deep convolution neural network (CNN) is used to detect the edge. First, the initial features are extracted using VGG-16, which consists of 5 convolutions, each step is connected to a pooling layer. For edge detection of the image, it is necessary to extract information of different levels from each layer to the pixel space of the edge, and then re-extract the feature, and perform sampling. The attributes are mapped to the pixel space of the edge and a threshold extractor of the edges. It is then compared with a background model. Using background subtraction, foreground objects are detected. The Gaussian mixture model is used to detect the vehicle. This method is performed on three videos, and compared with other methods; the results show higher accuracy. Therefore, the proposed method is stable against sharpness, light, and traffic. Moreover, to improve the detection accuracy of the vehicle, shadow removal conducted, which uses a combination of color and contour features to identify the shadow. For this purpose, the moving target is extracted, and the connected domain is marked to be compared with the background. The moving target contour is extracted, and the direction of the shadow is checked according to the contour trend to obtain shadow points and remove these points. The results show that the proposed method is very resistant to changes in light, high-traffic environments, and the presence of shadows, and has the best performance compared to the current methods.

        Impulsive / hyperactive disorder is a neuro-developmental disorder that usually occurs in childhood, and in most cases parents find that the child is more active than usual and have problems such as lack of attention and concentration control. Because this problem might interfere with your own learning, work, and communication with others, it could be controlled by early diagnosis and treatment. Because the automatic recognition and classification of electroencephalography (EEG) signals is challenging due to the large variation in time features and signal frequency, the present study attempts to provide an efficient method for diagnosing hyperactive patients. The proposed method is that first, the recorded brain signals of hyperactive subjects are read from the input and in order to the signals to be converted from time range to frequency range, Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is used. Also, to select an effective feature to check hyperactive subjects from healthy ones, the peak frequency (PF) is applied. Then, to select the features, principal component analysis and without principal component analysis will be used. In the final step, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) will be utilized to calculate the recognition rate of individuals with hyperactivity. For model efficiency, this model is compared to the models of K- nearest neighbors (KNN), and multilayer perceptron (MLP). The results show that the best method is to use feature selection by principal component analysis and classification of CNNs and the recognition rate of individuals with ADHD from healthy ones is equal to 91%.

        Semantic segmentation is a branch of computer vision, used extensively in image search engines, automated driving, intelligent agriculture, disaster management, and other machine-human interactions. Semantic segmentation aims to predict a label for each pixel from a given label set, according to semantic information. Among the proposed methods and architectures, researchers have focused on deep learning algorithms due to their good feature learning results. Thus, many studies have explored the structure of deep neural networks, especially convolutional neural networks. Most of the modern semantic segmentation models are based on fully convolutional networks (FCN), which first replace the fully connected layers in common classification networks with convolutional layers, getting pixel-level prediction results. After that, a lot of methods are proposed to improve the basic FCN methods results. With the increasing complexity and variety of existing data structures, more powerful neural networks and the development of existing networks are needed. This study aims to segment a high-resolution (HR) image dataset into six separate classes. Here, an overview of some important deep learning architectures will be presented with a focus on methods producing remarkable scores in segmentation metrics such as accuracy and F1-score. Finally, their segmentation results will be discussed and we would see that the methods, which are superior in the overall accuracy and overall F1-score, are not necessarily the best in all classes. Therefore, the results of this paper lead to the point to choose the segmentation algorithm according to the application of segmentation and the importance degree of each class. Manuscript profile

        Today, the hand-written data volume is huge, which prohibits these data from being manually converted into electronic files. During the past years, different types of solutions were developed to convert machine learning-based handwritten data. Each method classifies or clusters the data according to the data type and application. In the present paper, a new approach is presented based on compound methods and deep learning for the classification of Persian handwritten data, where a deeper investigation is made of the data in basic learning by combining the Ada boosting and convolution. The present study aims at providing a new technique for classification of the images of handwritten Persian numbers. The structure of this technique is founded on Ada Boosting, which in turn, is based on weak learning. This technique improves learning by iteration of the weak learning processes and updating weights. In the meantime, the proposed method tried to employ stronger learners and present a stronger algorithm by combining these strong learners. The method was assessed on the standard Hoda dataset containing 60000 training data. The results show that the proposed method has a lower error rate than the previous methods by more than 1%. In the future, by developing basic learner, new mechanisms can be provided to improve the results by new types of learning. – Today, the hand-written data volume is huge, which prohibits these data from being manually converted into electronic files.

        To create a customer-based marketing strategy, it is necessary to perform a proper analysis of customer data so that customers can be separated from each other or predict their future behavior. The datasets related to customers in any business usually are high-dimensional with too many instances and include both supervised and unsupervised ones. For this reason, companies today are trying to satisfy their customers as much as possible. This issue requires careful consideration of customers from several aspects. Data mining algorithms are one of the practical methods in businesses to find the required knowledge from customer’s both demographic and behavioral. This paper presents a hybrid clustering algorithm using the Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) method and the Modified Cuckoo Optimization Algorithm (MCOA). Since customer data analysis has a key role in ensuring a company's profitability, The Insurance Company (TIC) dataset is utilized for the experiments and performance evaluation. We compare the convergence of the proposed FCM-MCOA approach with some conventional optimization methods, such as Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Invasive Weed Optimization (IWO). Moreover, we suggest a customer classifier using the Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). Simulation results reveal that the FCM-MCOA converges faster than conventional clustering methods. In addition, the results indicate that the accuracy of the CNN-based classifier is more than 98%. CNN-based classifier converges after some couples of iterations, which shows a fast convergence in comparison with the conventional classifiers, such as Decision Tree (DT), Support Vector Machine (SVM), K-Nearest Neighborhood (KNN), and Naive Bayes (NB) classifiers.
