Brain tumor classification is a critical task in medical imaging, as accurate diagnosis directly influences treatment planning and patient outcomes. Traditional methods often fall short in achieving the required precision due to the complex and heterogeneous nature of brain tumors. In this study, we propose an innovative approach to brain tumor multi-classification by leveraging an ensemble learning method that combines advanced deep learning models with an optimal weighting strategy.

Pulmonary disease identification and characterization are among the most intriguing research topics of recent years since they require an accurate and prompt diagnosis. Although pulmonary radiography has helped in lung disease diagnosis, the interpretation of the radiographic image has always been a major concern for doctors and radiologists to reduce diagnosis errors. Due to their success in image classification and segmentation tasks, cutting-edge artificial intelligence techniques like machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) are widely encouraged to be applied in the field of diagnosing lung disorders and identifying them using medical images, particularly radiographic ones.

Recent articles reported a massive increase in frustration among weak students due to the outbreak of COVID-19 and Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). These students need to be evaluated to detect possible psychological counseling and extra attention. On the one hand, the literature reports many optimization techniques focusing on existing students' performance prediction systems.

In this paper, a new classification approach of breast cancer based on Fully Convolutional Networks (FCNs) and Beta Wavelet Autoencoder (BWAE) is presented. FCN, as a powerful image segmentation model, is used to extract the relevant information from mammography images. It will identify the relevant zones to model while WAE is used to model the extracted information for these zones.
