The accurate diagnosis of lung cancer using predictive modeling presents significant challenges, ... more The accurate diagnosis of lung cancer using predictive modeling presents significant challenges, primarily due to the imbalanced nature of clinical datasets where certain outcomes are underrepresented. This study addresses the critical impact of class imbalance on the predictive accuracy of machine learning models applied to lung cancer diagnosis. We evaluated several popular classification algorithms, including K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Support Vector Machines (SVM), Random Forests, and Deep Learning models, across original and various enhanced datasets. Our methodology involved preprocessing the data to handle missing values and applying several techniques to balance the classes effectively. These techniques included manual oversampling, undersampling, and synthetic oversampling methods. The manual oversampling allowed us to duplicate instances of the minority classes, while undersampling reduced the instances of the majority class. Synthetic oversampling, using a method like the Adaptive Synthetic Sampling (ADASYN), generated new synthetic instances for the minority classes. This combined approach allowed us to enhance the representation of minority classes and improve the generalizability of our models.The performance of each model was assessed using accuracy metrics and Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves across both dataset conditions. Results indicated that SVM, Random Forest, and Deep Learning models, when trained on balanced data, demonstrated significant improvements in accuracy and ROC-AUC scores compared to training on the original imbalanced dataset. Specifically, the Random Forest and Deep Learning models showed a notable increase in performance, highlighting the effectiveness of ensemble and deep learning methods in dealing with class imbalances. This study confirms that addressing class imbalance through a combination of manual and synthetic oversampling techniques can substantially improve the accuracy of predictive models in lung cancer diagnosis. These findings advocate for the integration of these techniques in preprocessing steps for clinical data analysis, potentially leading to more reliable and equitable healthcare outcomes.

Despite being positioned as a high tourist attraction, it has been possible to identify that there is a lack of public-private articulation, as well as the participation of the academy in the development of projects with a greater regional impact, weaknesses in the working capital of the sector, little entrepreneurship, and innovation around the generation of new tourism products. That is why it is necessary to strengthen and expand the coverage of national or regional programs, projects, and initiatives on these routes, corridors, and infrastructure projects proposed, the development of information systems that allow assertive decision-making, as well as the pertinent regulation by the sustainability framework. One of the sectors that require support and strengthening is the tourism sector which requires support to strengthen and boost the economy [1]. The purpose of this article is to show the development of an application based on gamification that allows the cultural strengthening of the region, which allowed appropriation processes to be generated in the community that is the object of intervention of the department and economic revitalization.

The nature of inter-municipal transport makes it very difficult for companies and vehicle owners to have real control of the income of each bus because, unlike urban transport, the value of the ticket depends on the place of getting on and off each bus. One of the main motivations of this research is to help solve the problems associated with the management of drivers who usually hire assistants who manually and visually control each passenger’s entry and exit points and, according to this criterion, calculate the amount to be paid. Charge individually. Since there is no certainty of the actual monetary income from the buses, companies and owners charge drivers a fixed daily value (fee). The objective of the platform described in this article is to manage the analysis of economic resources generated in public transport activity. This form of work affects the formality of the transport sector and generates a loss of competitiveness in the department Atlántico – Colombia.

Colorectal cancer (CC) is the third most commonly occurring cancer, resulting in nearly 10% of cases over the globe. Colorectal cancer classification (CCC) of histopathological images by artificial intelligence (AI) approaches not only enhances the accuracy and classifier results but also allows physicians to make prompt decisions. In this view, this article introduces a novel Galactic Swarm Optimization with Deep Transfer Learning Driven Colorectal Cancer Classification (GSODTL-C3M) model for IGI. The primary aim of the GSODTL-C3M model is to appropriately categorize the test images into the existence of CC. To accomplish this, the presented GSODTL-C3M model employs image pre-processing using the bilateral filtering (BF) technique to remove noise. Besides, Adam optimizer with the MobileNet model is applied as a feature extractor. Finally, the GSO methodology with long short-term memory (LSTM) is employed to recognize and classify CC. An extensive range of simulations was taken place, and the results stated the advanced performance of the current state of art classification methodologies.
