Breast cancer, marked by uncontrolled cell growth in breast tissue, is the most common cancer among women and a second-leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Among its types, ductal and lobular carcinomas are the most prevalent, with invasive ductal carcinoma accounting for about 70–80% of cases and invasive lobular carcinoma for about 10–15%. Accurate identification is crucial for effective treatment but can be time-consuming and prone to interobserver variability. AI can rapidly analyze pathological images, providing precise, cost-effective identification, thus reducing the pathologists’ workload. This study utilizes a deep learning framework for advanced, automatic breast cancer detection and subtype identification. The framework comprises three key components: detecting cancerous patches, identifying cancer subtypes (ductal and lobular carcinoma), and predicting patient-level outcomes from whole slide images (WSI). The validation process includes visualization using Score-CAM to highlight cancer-affected areas prominently. Datasets include 111 WSIs (85 malignant from the Warwick HER2 dataset and 26 benign from pathologists). For subtype detection, there are 57 ductal and 8 lobular carcinoma cases. A total of 28,428 annotated patches were reviewed by two expert pathologists. Four pre-trained models—DenseNet-201, MobileNetV2, an ensemble of these two, and a Vision Transformer-based model—were fine-tuned and tested on the patches. Patient-level results were predicted using a majority voting technique based on the percentage of each patch type in the WSI. The Vision Transformer-based model outperformed other models in patch classification, achieving an accuracy of 96.74% for cancerous patch detection and 89.78% for cancer subtype classification. For WSI-based cancer classification, the majority voting method attained an F1-score of 99.06 and 96.13% for WSI-based cancer subtype classification. The proposed deep learning-based framework for advanced breast cancer det

This study focuses on creating an accurate reflection prediction model that will guide the design of filters with multilayer Anti-Reflection Coating (ARC) to optimize the thickness parameters using Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) techniques. This model aims to shed light on the design process of a multilayer optical filter, making it more cost-effective by providing faster and more precise production. In creating this model, a dataset containing data obtained from 3000 (1500 Ge–Al2O3, 1500 Ge–SiO2) simulations previously performed on a computer based on the thicknesses of multilayer structural materials was used. The data are generated using Computational Electromagnetic simulation software based on the Finite-Difference Time-Domain method. To understand the mechanism of the proposed model, two different two-layer coating simulations were studied. While Ge was used as the substrate in both coatings, Al2O3 and SiO2 were used as the second layers. The data set consists of the 3–5 µm and 8–12 µm bands typical for the mid-wave infrared (MWIR) and long-wave infrared (LWIR) bands and includes reflectance values for wavelengths ranging between these spectra. In the specified 2-layer data set, the average reflectance was obtained with a minimum of 0.36 at 515 nm Ge and 910 nm SiO2 thicknesses. This value can be increased by adapting the proposed model to more than 2 layers. Six ML algorithms and a DL model, including artificial neural networks and convolutional neural networks, are evaluated to determine the most effective approach for predicting reflectance properties. Furthermore, in the proposed model, a hyperparameter tuning phase is used in the study to compare the efficiency of ML and DL methods to generate dual-band ARC and maximize the prediction accuracy of the DL algorithm. To our knowledge, this is the first time this has been implemented in this field. The results show that ML models, particularly decision tree (MSE: 0.00000069, RMSE: 0.00083), rand
