Due to unchecked cell development in the lungs, lung cancer typically affects both men and women. This seriously impairs one's ability to breathe in and out of the chest. According to the World Health Organisation, the main causes of lung cancer are cigarettes and passive smoking. Compared to other cancers, the death rate from lung cancer is rising daily among both young and old people. Despite the availability of advanced medical facilities for accurate diagnosis and effective medical care, the mortality rate is still not effectively under control. The prediction of lung cancer was investigated using classification techniques as Naive Bayes, Random Forest, Decision trees, and Logistic Regression. The primary objective of the research is to analyse the effectiveness of categorisation algorithms in order to identify lung cancer early.
Predicting stock market trends is crucial for investors and policymakers, particularly in emerging markets like the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, where research on stock market prediction remains relatively scarce. This study provides a comparative analysis of several advanced forecasting models, including Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average with Explanatory Variable (ARIMAX), Support Vector Regression (SVR), Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), Categorical Boosting (CatBoost), and HistGradientBoosting (HGB), to evaluate their effectiveness in predicting stock market movements in the region. We utilized the Skforecast library to implement the ARIMAX model and applied the Grid Search algorithm for hyperparameter tuning of SVR and the XGBoost family of models. Model performance was assessed using a comprehensive dataset and a suite of metrics: Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Normalized Mean Square Error (NMSE), R-squared ( R^2 ), Theil’s U-statistic, Directional Symmetry (DS), and Weighted Directional Symmetry (WDS). Additionally, we analyzed the interpretability of the XGBoost model using Shapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) and evaluated overall model performance with a Taylor diagram. Our findings indicate that both ARIMAX and SVR outperform the other models in terms of predictive accuracy and reliability. However, SVR emerges as the best model, achieving the lowest MAE and RMSE, the highest R^2 , and gives the most favorable results for the NMSE, DS, WDS, and Theil’s U statistic. This study highlights the superior performance of SVR for forecasting stock market trends in the MENA region, providing valuable insights for financial analysts and investors.
Traffic congestion forecasting is one of the major elements of the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). Traffic congestion in urban road networks significantly influences sustainability by increasing air pollution levels. Efficient congestion management enables drivers to bypass heavily trafficked areas and reducing pollutant emissions. However, properly forecasting congestion spread remains challenging due to complex, dynamic, and non-linear nature of traffic patterns. The advent of Internet of Things (IoT) devices has introduced valuable datasets that can support the development of intelligent and sustainable transportation for modern cities. This work presents a Deep Learning (DL) approach of Reinforcement Learning (RL) based Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) with Adaptive Secretary Bird Optimizer (ASBO) for traffic congestion prediction. The experimentation is evaluated on Traffic Prediction Dataset and achieved better Mean Square Error (MSE) and Mean Absolute Error (MAE) with results of 0.015 and 0.133 respectively. Compared to the existing algorithms like RL, Deep Q Learning (DQL), LSTM and BiLSTM, the RL - BiLSTM with ASBO outperformed with the parameters MSE, RMSE, R2, MAE and MAPE with 37%, 27.44%, 26%, 33.52% and 35.8% respectively. The better performance demonstrates that RL- BiLSTM with ASBO is well-suited to predict congestion patterns in road networks.
Most critically, enforcing road safety laws and reducing roadway fatalities from traffic accidents will rely heavily on accurately detecting helmet use and motorcycle riders' number plates. Conventional methods of enforcement rely heavily on human observation and labour-intensive methods, and are problematic as they can be subject to human error under specific conditions (for example, poor weather and lighting). To demonstrate an automated system that could potentially mitigate some of these constraints, we developed a novel automated system by combining cutting-edge object detection models (You Only Look Once, Nano version (YOLOv8n), Faster R-CNN) and EasyOCR (optical character recognition) to assist law enforcement. YOLOv8n has been praised for its speed and accuracy; when developing and training the model, we sourced a dataset with images of riders wearing helmets and other images of riders without helmets, as well as the number plate images to ensure that during training, the model was able to learn both tasks as it related to the helmet use detection and number plates. EasyOCR is an excellent resource for extracting textual data from detected number plates, so combining YOLOv8n with EasyOCR allows for real-time data collection from the detected number plates. This unified platform is a big step ahead in roadway security technology. It offers an easily expandable yet successful way to keep an eye on helmet use and identify and punish drivers who don't wear them, all of which will help reduce traffic accidents and save lives.

Identifying brain abnormalities via Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans is pivotal when considering such conditions as multiple sclerosis (MS) and gliomas. Medical imaging segmentation techniques are often reliant on large volumes of annotated data, which is usually expensive and time consuming to accumulate. This study proposed an unsupervised detection for both anomaly detection and segmentation of brain MRI segmentations primarily using autoencoders (AEs), variational autoencoders (VAEs) or Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), while at the same time reducing the need for labelled datasets. In this context, these machines are trained on MRI scans of healthy brains, to understand the anatomical structures and patterns that are considered normal, so that the models can identify an abnormality by observing an anomalous behaviour or change to what was previously thought to be normal. The methodology used these models to segment brain MRI scans to identify anomalies or differences in the abnormal brain MRI scans compared to their normal structure from the training set. A comparative study was undertaken across three MRI datasets with images from healthy patients, MS lesions and glioma. The three deep learning models of AE, VAE and f-AnoGAN (a GAN approach to anomaly detection) were evaluated. The experimental results indicated that the VAE recorded a segmentation accuracy (of import) of 91.8% for all MRI images analysed, while the f-AnoGAN model recorded an accuracy of 85.2% when identifying an abnormality in MRI images scans. Additionally, both the VAE and f-AnoGAN models outperformed the traditional autoencoder, which failed to detect the anamoly. As such, the models offer viable options for aiding clinicians diagnose neurological diseases as well as simplifying MRI segmentation procedures.
