Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue will be an assemblage of the latest advancements in deep learning, particularly focusing on its applications in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Image Classification (IC). The goal is to present a diverse range of novel ideal and empirical results, covering both theoretical foundations and practical implementations. This encompasses the utilization of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning for processing large datasets obtained from various sources such as satellites, scientific explorations, sensor networks, and medical diagnostics.

A part of this Special Issue is dedicated to the comparative of deep learning models. This involves a critical evaluation of these models in terms of their efficiency and accuracy across diverse datasets and real-world scenarios. The process aims to provide insights into the generalizability and interpretability of these models, thereby fostering advancements in their practical applicability.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Artificial intelligence tools and applications;
  • Natural Language Processing;
  • Speech recognition;
  • Comparative of deep learning models;
  • Intelligent system.

The field of image analysis with artificial intelligence has grown exponentially thanks to the development of neural networks. One of its most promising areas is medical diagnosis through lung X-rays, which are crucial for diseases like pneumonia, which can be mistaken for other conditions. Despite medical expertise, precise diagnosis is challenging, and this is where well-trained algorithms can assist. However, working with medical images presents challenges, especially when datasets are limited and unbalanced. Strategies to balance these classes have been explored, but understanding their local impact and how they affect model evaluation is still lacking. This work aims to analyze how a class imbalance in a dataset can significantly influence the informativeness of metrics used to evaluate predictions. It demonstrates that class separation in a dataset impacts trained models and is a strategy deserving more attention in future research. To achieve these goals, classification models using artificial and deep neural networks implemented in the R environment are developed. These models are trained using a set of publicly available images related to lung pathologies. All results are validated using metrics obtained from the confusion matrix to verify the impact of data imbalance on the performance of medical diagnostic models. The results raise questions about the procedures used to group classes in many studies, aiming to achieve class balance in imbalanced data and open new avenues for future research to investigate the impact of class separation in datasets with clinical pathologies.
