    Brain tumors can be serious; consequently, rapid and accurate detection is crucial. Nevertheless, a variety of obstacles, such as poor imaging resolution, doubts over the accuracy of data, a lack of diverse tumor classes and stages, and the possibility of misunderstanding, present challenges to achieve an accurate and final diagnosis. Effective brain cancer detection is crucial for patients’ safety and health. Deep learning systems provide the capability to assist radiologists in quickly and accurately detecting diagnoses. This study presents an innovative deep learning approach that utilizes the Swin Transformer. The suggested method entails integrating the Swin Transformer with the pretrained deep learning model Resnet50V2, called (SwT+Resnet50V2). The objective of this modification is to decrease memory utilization, enhance classification accuracy, and reduce training complexity. The self-attention mechanism of the Swin Transformer identifies distant relationships and captures the overall context. Resnet 50V2 improves both accuracy and training speed by extracting adaptive features from the Swin Transformer’s dependencies. We evaluate the proposed framework using two publicly accessible brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) datasets, each including two and four distinct classes, respectively. Employing data augmentation and transfer learning techniques enhances model performance, leading to more dependable and cost-effective training. The suggested model achieves an impressive accuracy of 99.9% on the binary-labeled dataset and 96.8% on the four-labeled dataset, outperforming the VGG16, MobileNetV2, Resnet50V2, EfficientNetV2B3, ConvNeXtTiny, and convolutional neural network (CNN) algorithms used for comparison. This demonstrates that the Swin transducer, when combined with Resnet50V2, is capable of accurately diagnosing brain tumors. This method leverages the combination of SwT+Resnet50V2 to create an innovative diagnostic tool. Radiologists have the potential to accelerate and improve the detection of brain tumors, leading to improved patient outcomes and reduced risks.

    by Khalid M. O. Nahar, Nesrine Atitallah, Mohammed M. Abu Shquier, Dalal Z. Zreiqat, Khaled M. Alhawiti

    In the realm of botanical science and environmental conservation, identifying medicinal plant species accurately and efficiently is crucial for their sustainable cultivation and conservation. This paper introduces a novel approach that leverages seedling images and deep learning techniques to develop a computer vision system. The system aims to recognize medicinal plants at their early growth stages, a task that is fundamental for effective plant management and preservation efforts. The proposed work utilizes the Inception 3, a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture, trained on a comprehensive dataset of seedling images from diverse medicinal plant species. Evaluating the system's performance with various metrics reveals its exceptional accuracy, reaching up to 97.6% in identifying medicinal plant species. This model holds promise for applications in plant conservation, biodiversity assessment, and the cultivation of medicinal plants.

    Improved Breast Cancer Detection using Modified ResNet50-Based on Gradient-Weighted Class Activation Mapping

    by Hasan Gharaibeh, Khalid M.O. Nahar, Mohammed M. Abu Shquier, Nesrine Atitallah, Ahmad Nasayreh, Rabia Emhamed Al Mamlook, Mohammad A. Alqaseem, Qais Al-Na’amneh, Khaled M. Alhawiti

    Breast cancer is a prevalent and serious disease that affects many women around the world every year. Detecting breast cancer early is crucial for improving survival rates and treating the illness effectively. Researchers are exploring various methods, including neural networks and machine learning, to assist in detecting the disease. However, due to limited data availability, leveraging pre-trained models trained on diverse image datasets has become a common practice. This article introduces a novel approach to identifying breast cancer that involves the utilization of a deep learning model utilizing the ResNet50 framework, coupled with heat mapping and gradient-weighted class activation mapping (Grad-CAM). The suggested method was primarily assessed using the FDDM dataset of Subtracted Contrast Enhanced Spectral Mammography (CDD-CESM) images. The outcomes from this model were then contrasted with those of five other well-known models: VGG16, VGG19, MobileNetV2, EfficientNet-B7, and standard ResNet50. The newly proposed model yielded an accuracy of 0.8920, which was better than the other models. Additionally, Grad-CAM showed nearly flawless feature extraction in a breast cancer classification assignment. In the discussion section, the suggested method was utilized with the MIAS dataset to ensure thoroughness and scalability, and to allow for comparison with prior research. The results demonstrated the effectiveness of the suggested approach, with an accuracy of 0.9830 achieved on the MIAS dataset, surpassing previous works. This study significantly enhances the improvement of breast cancer detection through the integration of deep learning, the ResNet50 architecture, and visualization methods including heat maps and Grad-CAM.
