Background: With the recent introduction of vesical imaging reporting and data system (VI-RADS), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become the main imaging method used for the preoperative local staging of bladder cancer (BCa). However, the VI-RADS score is subject to interobserver variability and cannot provide information about tumor cellularity. These limitations may be overcome…
One of the most challenging categories of threats circulating into the online world is social engineering, with malicious web links, fake news, clickbait, and other tactics. Malware URLs are extremely dangerous because they represent the main propagating vector for web malware. Malicious web links detection is a challenging task because the detection mechanism should…
Identifying the sentiment of collected tweets has become a challenging and interesting task. In addition, mining and defining relevant features that can improve the quality of a classification system is crucial. The data modeling phase is fundamental for the whole process since it can reveal hidden information from the textual inputs. Two models are…
We propose a train rescheduling algorithm which applies a standardized feature selection based on pairwise conflicts in order to serve as input for the reinforcement learning framework. We implement an analytical method which identifies and optimally solves every conflict arising between two trains, then we design a corresponding observation space which features the most…
Twitter Sentiment Analysis shows several challenges due to the platform’s features (e.g., short messages, colloquial style, etc.). People want to express their ideas related to personality, events, or breaking news. Social media is one of the fastest ways to express opinions, and research directions are developed to analyze the polarity of written messages. Very…

It is a promising direction by applying advanced Machine Learning techniques into suitable software engineering tasks. The main goal…
SERS analysis of biofluids, coupled with classification algorithms, has recently emerged as a candidate for point-of-care medical diagnosis. Nonetheless, despite the impressive results reported in the literature, there are still gaps in our knowledge of the biochemical information provided by the SERS analysis of biofluids. Therefore, by a critical assignment of the SERS bands,…
Purpose Breast cancer is one of the most common tumours in women, nevertheless, it is also one of the cancers that is most usually treated. As a result, early detection is critical, which can be accomplished by routine mammograms. This paper aims to describe, analyze, compare and evaluate three image descriptors involved in classifying…
