Gliomas, a highly aggressive and malignant category of brain tumors, continue to pose a significant global health challenge. Originating from the abnormal and uncontrolled growth of glial cells within the brain, these tumors often result in severe neurological impairments and high mortality rates, underscoring the urgency for improved diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. Early diagnosis can significantly improve outcomes and survival. Consequently, precise segmentation of tumor tissue in medical images is critical for accurate brain tumor diagnosis and effective treatment. However, achieving high-precision segmentation remains challenging due to the complex and variable nature of tumor structures in medical images. To address this problem, we developed R2A-UNET, a U-shaped architecture that leverages the power of residual blocks and attention mechanisms. To enhance the model’s ability to capture critical and relevant information, we incorporated two advanced attention mechanisms. These mechanisms are designed to prioritize important features while suppressing irrelevant or redundant details, thereby significantly improving the efficiency and accuracy of feature extraction across varying datasets. Normalized Channel Attention (NCA) was integrated in each encoder stage, generating a squeezed vector with relevant features at the end of the contracting path. Normalized Spatial Attention (NSA) was included in the skip connection in the middle of the encoder and decoder, generating more concentrated feature maps before concatenation on the decoder side. These mechanisms enable the model to focus on specific pixel values that more accurately localize abnormalities. In our study, we evaluated the performance of our model using two MRI image datasets: the LGG (Lower-Grade Glioma) segmentation database and the BraTS 2018 dataset. Our method achieved a DSC of 92% and an IoU of 86% on the LGG dataset. On the BraTS dataset, it achieved a DSC of 94.79% and an IoU of 90.12%, dem

An imbalanced dataset often challenges machine learning, particularly classification methods. Underrepresented minority classes can result in biased and inaccurate models. The Synthetic Minority Over-Sampling Technique (SMOTE) was developed to address the problem of imbalanced data. Over time, several weaknesses of the SMOTE method have been identified in generating synthetic minority class data, such as overlapping, noise, and small disjuncts. However, these studies generally focus on only one of SMOTE’s weaknesses: noise or overlapping. Therefore, this study addresses both issues simultaneously by tackling noise and overlapping in SMOTE-generated data. This study proposes a combined approach of filtering, clustering, and distance modification to reduce noise and overlapping produced by SMOTE. Filtering removes minority class data (noise) located in majority class regions, with the k-nn method applied for filtering. The use of Noise Reduction (NR), which removes data that is considered noise before applying SMOTE, has a positive impact in overcoming data imbalance. Clustering establishes decision boundaries by partitioning data into clusters, allowing SMOTE with modified distance metrics to generate minority class data within each cluster. This SMOTE clustering and distance modification approach aims to minimize overlap in synthetic minority data that could introduce noise. The proposed method is called “NR-Clustering SMOTE,” which has several stages in balancing data: (1) filtering by removing minority classes close to majority classes (data noise) using the k-nn method;(2) clustering data using K-means aims to establish decision boundaries by partitioning data into several clusters;(3) applying SMOTE oversampling with Manhattan distance within each cluster. Test results indicate that the proposed NR-Clustering SMOTE method achieves the best performance across all evaluation metrics for classification methods such as Random Forest, SVM, and Naїve Bayes, compared t
