Recent technologies have made life smarter. vehicles are vital components in daily life that are getting smarter for a safer environment. Advanced Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS) are widely used in today's vehicles. It has been a revolutionary approach to make roads safer by assisting the driver in difficult situations like collusion, or assistance in respecting road rules. ADAS is composed of a huge number of sensors and processing units to provide a complete overview of the surrounding objects to the driver. In this paper, we introduce a road signs classifier for an ADAS to recognize and understand traffic signs. This classifier is based on a deep learning technique, and, in particular, it uses Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). The proposed approach is composed of two stages. The first stage is a data preprocessing technique to filter and enhance the quality of the input images to reduce the processing time and improve the recognition accuracy. The second stage is a convolutional CNN model with a skip connection that allows passing semantic features to the top of the network in order to allow for better recognition of traffic signs. Experiments have proved the performance of the CNN model for traffic sign classification with a correct recognition rate of 99.75% on the German traffic sign recognition benchmark GTSRB dataset.

Cell division that is not controlled leads to cancer, an incurable condition. An early diagnosis has the potential to lower death rates from breast cancer, the most frequent disease in women worldwide. Imaging studies of the breast may help doctors find the disease and diagnose it. This study explores an effectiveness of DL and ML models in a classification of mammography images for breast cancer detection, utilizing the publicly available CBIS-DDSM dataset, which comprises 5,000 images evenly divided between benign and malignant cases. To improve diagnostic accuracy, models such as Gaussian Naïve Bayes (GNB), CNNs, KNN, and MobileNetV2 were assessed employing performance measures including F1-score, recall, accuracy, and precision. The methodology involved data preprocessing techniques, including transfer learning and feature extraction, followed by data splitting for robust model training and evaluation. Findings indicate that MobileNetV2 achieved a highest accuracy99.4%, significantly outperforming GNB (87.2%), CNN (96.7%), and KNN (91.2%). The outstanding capacity of MobileNetV2 to identify between benign and malignant instances was shown by the investigation, which also made use of confusion matrices and ROC curves to evaluate model performance.

Financial markets have become more and more complex, so has been the number of data sources. Stock price prediction has hence become a tough but important task. The time dependencies in stock price movements tend to escape from traditional models. In this work, a hybrid ARIMA-LSTM model is suggested to enhance accuracy of stock price forecasts. Based on time series indicators like adjusted closing prices of S&P 500 stocks over a decade (2010–2019), the ARIMA-LSTM model combines influences of both autoregressive time series forecasting with the substantial sequence learning property of LSTM. Data preprocessing in all aspects including missing values interpolation, outlier’s detection and data scaling – Min-Max guarantees data quality. The model is trained on 90/10 training/testing split and met with main performance metrics: MaE, MSE & RMSE. As indicated in the results, the proposed ARIMA-LSTM model gives a MAE value and MSE value of 0.248 and 0.101 respectively and RMSE of 0.319, a measure high accuracy on stock price prediction. Coupled comparative analysis with other Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and BP Neural Networks (BPNN) are examples of machine learning reference models, further illustrates the suitability and superiority of ARIMA-LSTM approach as compared to the underlying models with the least MAE and strong predictive capability. This work demonstrates the efficiency of integrating the classical time series models with deep learning methods for financial forecasting.

Predictive modeling, supported by machine learning technology, aims to analyze data in order to guide decision-making towards actions generating desired values in the future. It encompasses the set of techniques used to build models that estimate the value of a certain variable predicting a forthcoming event from the past or current values of relevant attributes. In predictive healthcare modeling, the built models represent the relationship among the data concerning customer, provider, production, and other aspects of the healthcare environment in order to assist the decision processes in the prevention of diseases and in the planning of preventive actions by detection of high-risk patients. Contrary to trend analysis, whose goal is to describe past events, predictive models aim to provide useful indications regarding future events and changes. Predictive healthcare modeling supports actions that try to prevent the manifestation of diseases in healthy individuals or try to diagnose as early as possible the incidence of a disease in patients at risk. A sound predictive analysis encompasses not only the model-training task, but also the aspects of data quality, preprocessing, and fusion during its entire implementation lifecycle to ensure appropriate input data preparation. The robustness of the predictive model and its results depends highly on data quality. Due to the variety of data sources in healthcare environments, it becomes essential to use preprocessing in order to remove noise and inconsistencies. The increasing number of endorsable data exchange standards makes each data exchange achievable, but it demands the implementation of a data-governance program. In addition, the influence of the hospital-database architect on the architecture of an early-diagnosis model is important to guarantee appropriate input-formatting modularity.
