Cattle skin diseases are particular kinds of diseases caused by tumors, allergies, parasites, &#13;
autoimmune; bacteria infectious, and viral diseases and many cattle skin diseases are very &#13;
dangerous, mostly if not treated at their first stage. These diseases have caused economic losses &#13;
in different aspects especially in day-to-day usage as they reduce milk yield, leather quality, and &#13;
performance in draft cattle.&#13;
This is huge loss of livestock population by a disease that undermines the efforts towards &#13;
achieving food security and poverty reduction and cattle skin diseases are becoming the most &#13;
infectious diseases occurring in cattle of all ages and often found in humans and animals.&#13;
In the contribution of the cattle skin disease classification many researches have been conducted &#13;
even if they have gap Different kind of cattle skin like cattle’s located only in Ethiopia &#13;
To address this problem, we propose an approach for cattle skin disease diagnosis by integrating &#13;
image processing using deep learning. In this study, 3 model have been developed 2 of them are &#13;
based up on pre-trained models while one of the model have been developed by ourselves from &#13;
scratch and to develop the classification model, we have collected 444 cattle skin disease image &#13;
from Guji and Jimma Zones that we have classify in to Circle Worm Skin Disease, Lumpy Skin &#13;
Disease, Wart Skin Disease and one Normal class.&#13;
We split the dataset into 80% for training and 20% for testing. Our CNN scored 85.8% test &#13;
accuracy and InceptionV3 Model obtained 95.6% test accuracy while EffeicenitnetB0 Model &#13;
classifies the input symptom image with 99.1 % accuracy

Lung diseases, caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, pose a significant risk to millions of people. &#13;
Chest X-ray imaging is widely used for diagnosing lung diseases, but accurate diagnosis remains &#13;
challenging due to shortages of trained radiologists. A computer-aided recognition system has &#13;
been proposed to minimize errors, using an ensemble of CNNs. &#13;
In this research, we present convolutional neural network-based ensembles for classifying chest &#13;
X-ray images into five classes: Pneumonia, Pneumothorax, Tuberculosis (TB), COVID-19, and &#13;
normal. To minimize misclassification, we combined three procedures: Balance class, Image &#13;
augmentation techniques with Keras ImageDataGenerator class &amp; using an ensemble model &#13;
with transfer learning, three separate CNNs—VGG-16, ResNet-50, and MobileNetV2—are &#13;
combined to create a picture categorization system. &#13;
The system trained and tested using 7340 chest X-ray images data type from the National &#13;
Institute of Health chest X-ray repository and Jimma University Medical Center radiology &#13;
department, significantly reduces manual visual + errors and can serve as a decision support for &#13;
physicians.&#13;
We used 80/20 by splitting the data into 80% for training, 10% for tests, and 10% for validation &#13;
to train each three models namely VGG-16, MobileNetV2, and ResNet-50 and then we trained &#13;
the concatenate ensemble of the three models. We compared the results with each other and &#13;
finally compared them with the concatenated ensemble of the three models. As we compared to &#13;
the state-of-the-art methods the promising classification performance of our proposed method &#13;
achieved an accuracy of 97.02% meaning that our model achieved 4.29% more accuracy than &#13;
the benchmark. While the accuracy of MobileNetV2 is 92.05%, VGG16 is 95.73% and ResNet50 &#13;
is 89.20% so the high accuracy we obtained is by ensemble which is 97.02%. An ensemble of &#13;
CNNS models, despite higher computational and modeling costs, offers superior performance &#13;
and robustness in lung disease classification, outperforming individual models and enhancing &#13;
classification accuracy

This research paper presents a comprehensive study on the authentication and classification of &#13;
Ethiopian coffee beans using deep learning algorithms. The objective is to develop an accurate &#13;
and reliable model for identifying and categorizing coffee beans based on their origin and &#13;
quality. The methodology employed in this study incorporates a literature review of existing &#13;
approaches and leverages deep learning algorithms, namely VGG-16, InceptionNetResNetv2, &#13;
DenseNet121, and MobileNetV2. These architectures have demonstrated excellent performance &#13;
in various image recognition tasks. The models were trained and evaluated on a carefully &#13;
curated dataset of Ethiopian coffee beans. The primary evaluation metric used in this study is &#13;
accuracy. The hyper parameters are carefully set, and the Adam optimizer is employed to &#13;
enhance model performance. This study used 11,242 datasets from multiple sources, including &#13;
bean characteristics and geographical origin. To ensure reliable results, a well-defined dataset &#13;
split strategy was employed, with 60% of the dataset allocated for training the models, and the&#13;
remaining 40% reserved for testing and validation. The 60:40 split ratios adopted in this &#13;
research demonstrated notable improvements in model performance. By training the models on &#13;
a larger portion of the dataset, they exhibited enhanced accuracy and generalization abilities. &#13;
The testing and validation sets played a critical role in evaluating the models' performance. The &#13;
experimental results indicate that the VGG-16 model achieved an accuracy of 89%, &#13;
InceptionNetResNetv2 achieved 100% accuracy, DenseNet121 achieved 90% accuracy, and &#13;
MobileNetV2 achieved an accuracy of 94%. These high accuracy rates showcase the &#13;
effectiveness of the deep learning approach in accurately authenticating and classifying &#13;
Ethiopian coffee beans. However, it is important to acknowledge certain limitations, such as the &#13;
sample size and the need for external validation. Future research endeavors should focus on &#13;
expanding the dataset and incorporating external validation to enhance the reliability and &#13;
generalizability of the models. This study contributes to the existing literature by showcasing the &#13;
potential of deep learning algorithms in the field of coffee bean authentication and &#13;
classification, paving the way for improved quality control and consumer confidence in &#13;
Ethiopian coffee products

<summary type="text">Integration of Feature Fusion Strategy on EfficientNet for  Skin Cancer Detection and Classification
Moges, Seyfu; Jifara, Worku; Yimer, Dawud
Skin cancer is a disorder that arises from changes in healthy skin cells that give them the ability &#13;
to become malignant. Due to a rise in predominance over the past ten years, it is currently &#13;
placed among the top ten malignancies in terms of frequency. Patients who are unaware of skin &#13;
cancer may not be encouraged to seek medical attention for minor skin discoloration because &#13;
many people lack the knowledge required to notice it. One can lessen and manage the &#13;
detrimental effects of skin cancer with an accurate diagnosis and prompt, efficient therapy. &#13;
Investigating skin cancer lesions can be difficult due to their comparatively similar forms, &#13;
complex expression of the disease, and susceptibility to subjective diagnosis. The obtained &#13;
features from the multiple EfficientNet model tiers are combined using a feature fusion approach &#13;
to solve this challenge. Therefore, in this study, a system was developed that could detect and &#13;
classify skin cancer lesions into benign and malignant automatically by using a feature fusion &#13;
strategy and EfficientNet algorithm with a transfer learning method. The image dataset was&#13;
collected from a public dataset that is available on Kaggle and the total dataset used is 27560 &#13;
from both classes benign and malignant. Pre-processing the skin lesions, extracting features &#13;
using a pre-trained EfficientNet, feature concatenation, and classifying using deep learning &#13;
EfficientNet algorithm are the primary components of this research. The study method was tested&#13;
and yielded average results of 93.4% accuracy, 92.3% precision, 94.8% recall, 92.1% &#13;
specificity, and 93.5% f1-score, respectively as well as confusion matrix achieved 1269(92.00%) &#13;
true positives, 109(8.00%) false positives, 72(5.00%) false negatives, and 1306(95.00%) true &#13;
negatives
