Semi-supervised learning techniques utilize both labeled and unlabeled images to enhance classification performance in scenarios where labeled images are limited. However, challenges such as integrating unlabeled images with incorrect pseudo-labels, determining appropriate thresholds for the pseudo-labels, and label prediction fluctuations on low-confidence unlabeled images, hinder the effectiveness of existing methods. This research introduces a novel framework named Interpolation Consistency for Bad Generative Adversarial Networks (IC-BGAN) that utilizes a new loss function. The proposed model combines bad adversarial training, fusion techniques, and regularization to address the limitations of semi-supervised learning. IC-BGAN creates three types of image augmentations and label consistency regularization in interpolation of bad fake images, real and bad fake images, and unlabeled images. It demonstrates linear interpolation behavior, reducing fluctuations in predictions, improving stability, and facilitating the identification of decision boundaries in low-density areas. The regularization techniques boost the discriminative capability of the classifier and discriminator, and send a better signal to the bad generator. This improves the generalization and the generation of diverse inter-class fake images as support vectors with information near the true decision boundary, which helps to correct the pseudo-labeling of unlabeled images. The proposed approach achieves notable improvements in error rate from 2.87 to 1.47 on the Modified National Institute of Standards and Technology (MNIST) dataset, 3.59 to 3.13 on the Street View House Numbers (SVHN) dataset, and 12.13 to 9.59 on the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research, 10 classes (CIFAR-10) dataset using 1000 labeled training images. Additionally, it reduces the error rate from 22.11 to 18.40 on the CINIC-10 dataset when using 700 labeled images per class. The experiments demonstrate the IC-BGAN framework outp

Purpose: The difficulty of diagnosing several lung disorders, including atelectasis, cardiomegaly, lung cancer, and COVID-19, is a challenging problem and needs to be addressed. These conditions exhibit some symptoms and demand advanced medical imaging process, thorough clinical assessments, and innovative procedures for accurate diagnosis. The shortage of qualified radiologists further makes the problem more complex to deal with. COVID-19 in particular has resulted in a remarkable number of fatalities around the world. Children below the age of 5 and individuals over 65 are more likely to be affected by lung disorders. It is very hard to diagnose and manage COVID-19 absolutely, but it can be identified earlier by employing computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) technologies to make timely diagnosis. Currently, radiologists adopt technologies, which are driven by artificial intelligence. By using them, medical imaging data, such as chest X-rays and CT scans, can be investigated to identify patterns to diagnose the severity of the virus. This expedites the diagnostic process and enhances accuracy, facilitating more timely and precise medical interventions. The efficiency of artificial intelligence in processing large datasets can directly help healthcare professionals in making diagnosis quicker and more accurate. The objective of the work in this paper is to design and implement deep learning model classifiers, which will effectively categorize the patterns found in the X-rays and CT scans. Methods: Three techniques for categorization are exploited to propose an entirely new hybrid convolutional neural network (CNN) model in this context. MRI and CT image categorization in the first classification method employ Fully Connected (FC) layers. The weights are calculated and tuned for training the algorithm over multiple periods to deliver the maximum precision for classification. The most accurate MRI and CT image characteristics are studied, and deep learning model classifiers

The Internet of Things (IoT) integrates diverse devices into the Internet infrastructure, including sensors, meters, and wearable devices. Designing efficient IoT networks with these heterogeneous devices requires the selection of appropriate routing protocols, which is crucial for maintaining high Quality of Service (QoS). The Internet engineering Task Force’s Routing Over Low Power and Lossy Networks (IETF ROLL) working group developed the IPv6 Routing Protocol for Low Power and Lossy Networks (RPL) to meet these needs. While the initial RPL standard focused on single-metric route selection, ongoing research explores enhancing RPL by incorporating multiple routing metrics and developing new Objective Functions (OFs). This paper introduces a novel Objective Function (OF), the Reliable and Secure Objective Function (RSOF), designed to enhance the reliability and trustworthiness of parent selection at both the node and link levels within IoT and RPL routing protocols. The RSOF employs an adaptive parent node selection mechanism that incorporates multiple metrics, including Residual Energy (RE), Expected Transmission Count (ETX), Extended RPL Node Trustworthiness (ERNT), and a novel metric that measures node failure rate (NFR). In this mechanism, nodes with a high NFR are excluded from the parent selection process to improve network reliability and stability. The proposed RSOF was evaluated using random and grid topologies in the Cooja Simulator, with tests conducted across small, medium, and large-scale networks to examine the impact of varying node densities. The simulation results indicate a significant improvement in network performance, particularly in terms of average latency, packet acknowledgment ratio (PAR), packet delivery ratio (PDR), and Control Message Overhead (CMO), compared to the standard Minimum Rank with Hysteresis Objective Function (MRHOF).
