With the popularity of convolutional neural networks being used for salient object detection (SOD), the performance has been significantly improved. However, how to integrate crucial features for modeling salient objects needs further exploration. In this work, we propose an effective feature selection scheme to solve this task. Firstly, we provide a Simplified Atrous Spatial Pyramid Pooling (SASPP) module to lightweight the multi-scale features. Dealing with the SASSP features, we design a pixel-level local feature selection scheme named Multi-Scale Capsule-wise Attention (MSCA). It aggregates features from multi-scales by dynamic routing and helps the network to generate fine-grained prediction maps. In addition, we exploit holistic features by the Spatial-wise Attention and Channel-wise Attention (SA/CA) mechanisms, which adaptively extracts spatial or channel information. We also propose a Multi-crossed Layer Connections (MLC) structure in the upsampling stage, to fuse features from not only different levels but also different scales. The salient object prediction is performed in a coarse-to-fine manner. By conducting comprehensive experiments on five benchmark datasets, our method achieves the best performance when compared to existing state-of-the-art approaches. IEEE

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurological disorder that gradually worsens over time, making early diagnosis difficult. Traditionally, diagnosis relies on a neurologist's detailed assessment of the patient's medical history and multiple scans. Recently, artificial intelligence (AI)-based computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems have demonstrated superior performance by capturing complex, nonlinear patterns in clinical data. However, the opaque nature of many AI models, often referred to as "black box" systems, has raised concerns about their transparency, resulting in hesitation among clinicians to trust their outputs. To address this challenge, we propose an explainable ensemble machine learning framework, XEMLPD, designed to provide both global and local interpretability in PD diagnosis while maintaining high predictive accuracy. Our study utilized two clinical datasets, carefully curated and optimized through a two-step data preprocessing technique that handled outliers and ensured data balance, thereby reducing bias. Several ensemble machine learning (EML) models—boosting, bagging, stacking, and voting—were evaluated, with optimized features selected using techniques such as SelectedKBest, mRMR, PCA, and LDA. Among these, the stacking model combined with LDA feature optimization consistently delivered the highest accuracy. To ensure transparency, we integrated explainable AI methods—SHapley Adaptive exPlanations (SHAP) and Local Interpretable Model-agnostic Explanations (LIME)—into the stacking model. These methods were applied post-evaluation, ensuring that each prediction is accompanied by a detailed explanation. By offering both global and local interpretability, the XEMLPD framework provides clear insights into the decision-making process of the model. This transparency aids clinicians in developing better treatment strategies and enhances the overall prognosis for PD patients. Additionally, our framework serves as a valuable tool for clinical data
