Accurate and real-time polyp segmentation plays a vital role in the early detection of colorectal cancer. However, existing methods often rely on computationally expensive backbones, single attention mechanisms, and suboptimal feature fusion strategies, limiting their practicality in real-world scenarios. In this work, we propose a lightweight yet effective deep learning framework that strikes a balance between precision and efficiency through a carefully designed architecture. Specifically, we adopt a MobileNetV4-based hybrid backbone to extract rich multi-scale features with significantly fewer parameters than conventional backbones, making the model well-suited for resource-constrained cl...

To address evolving security challenges in cloud computing, this study proposes a hybrid deep learning architecture integrating Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) and Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Units (BiGRU) for cloud intrusion detection. The BiLSTM-BiGRU model synergizes BiLSTM's long-term dependency modeling with BiGRU's efficient gating mechanisms, achieving a detection accuracy of 96.7% on the CIC-IDS 2018 dataset. It outperforms CNN-LSTM baselines by 2.2% accuracy, 3.3% precision, 3.6% recall, and 3.6% F1-score while maintaining 0.03% false positive rate. The architecture demonstrates operational efficiency through 20% reduced computational latency and 15% lower memory foo... More >

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease that primarily affects the knee, causing cartilage deterioration and discomfort. Early diagnosis is crucial for effective management, as it can slow disease progression and improve the quality of life. This study proposes a deep learning approach to automatically classify knee OA severity from X-ray images using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and the VGG16 model. The models were trained on a dataset of knee X-ray images, and performance was evaluated using accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. The proposed CNNs model achieved 99% training accuracy and 80% testing accuracy after 50 epochs, while the VGG16 model, after fine-tuning... More >

Brain tumor detection (BTD) is a crucial task, as early detection can save lives. Medical professionals require visual intelligence assistance to efficiently and accurately identify brain tumors. Conventional methods often result in misrecognition, highlighting a critical research gap. To address this, a novel BTD system is proposed to predict the presence of a tumor in a given MRI image. The system leverages a convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture, combined with a multi-layer perceptron (MLP) for feature extraction and understanding complex pixel patterns. An extensive ablation study was conducted to empirically analyze and identify the optimal model for the task. The findings dem... More >

Accurate and timely detection of wheat diseases remains crucial for sustainable agriculture, particularly in major wheat-producing regions. Wheat diseases pose a significant threat to global food security, need precise and timely detection to promote sustainable agriculture. Existing approaches consistently employ single-scale features with shallow-layered convolutional neural networks (CNNs). To bridge the research gaps, we introduce a novel Multi-Scale Wheat Disease Network (MSWDNet) with feature collaboration for wheat disease recognition supported by a comprehensive dataset collected from wheat fields. This study fills research gaps by introducing a novel technique to improve detection a... More >
