Soft sensors are data-driven devices that allow for estimates of quantities that are either impossible to measure or prohibitively expensive to do so. DL (deep learning) is a relatively new feature representation method for data with complex structures that has a lot of promise for soft sensing of industrial processes. One of the most important aspects of building accurate soft sensors is feature representation.

Among all other deep learning techniques used in medical imaging, U-Net-based variants are the most used models found in the literature to segment medical images with respect to different modalities. Therefore, the goal of this paper is to examine the numerous advancements and innovations in the U-Net architecture, as well as recent trends, with the aim of highlighting the ongoing potential of U-Net being used to better the performance of brain tumor segmentation.

In 2019, the World Health Organization forecasts a yearly occurrence of infections from 100 million to 400 million, the maximum number of dengue cases ever testified worldwide, prompting WHO to label the virus one of the world's top ten public health risks. Dengue hemorrhagic fever can progress into dengue shock syndrome, which can be fatal.
