This paper presents a novel approach to accurately classify the hallmarks of cancer, which is a crucial task in cancer research. Our proposed method utilizes the Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) architecture, which has shown exceptional performance in various downstream applications. By applying transfer learning, we fine-tuned the pre-trained BERT model on a small corpus of biomedical text documents related to cancer. The outcomes of our experimental investigations demonstrate that our approach attains a noteworthy accuracy of 94.45%, surpassing almost all prior findings with a substantial increase of at least 8.04% as reported in the literature. These findings highlight the effectiveness of our proposed model in accurately classifying and comprehending text documents for cancer research, thus contributing significantly to the field. As cancer remains one of the top ten leading causes of death globally, our approach holds great promise in advancing cancer research and improving patient outcomes.
In recent years, many troll accounts have emerged to manipulate social media opinion. Detecting and eradicating trolling is a critical issue for social-networking platforms because businesses, abusers, and nation-state-sponsored troll farms use false and automated accounts. NLP techniques are used to extract data from social networking text, such as Twitter tweets. In many text processing applications, word embedding representation methods, such as BERT, have performed better than prior NLP techniques, offering novel breaks to precisely comprehend and categorize social-networking information for various tasks. This paper implements and compares nine deep learning-based troll tweet detection architectures, with three models for each BERT, ELMo, and GloVe word embedding model. Precision, recall, F1 score, AUC, and classification accuracy are used to evaluate each architecture. From the experimental results, most architectures using BERT models improved troll tweet detection. A customized ELMo-based architecture with a GRU classifier has the highest AUC for detecting troll messages. The proposed architectures can be used by various social-based systems to detect troll messages in the future.
Email is one of the most widely used ways to communicate, with millions of people and businesses relying on it to communicate and share knowledge and information on a daily basis. Nevertheless, the rise in email users has occurred a dramatic increase in spam emails in recent years. Processing and managing emails properly for individuals and companies are getting increasingly difficult. This article proposes a novel technique for email spam detection that is based on a combination of convolutional neural networks, gated recurrent units, and attention mechanisms. During system training, the network is selectively focused on necessary parts of the email text. The usage of convolution layers to extract more meaningful, abstract, and generalizable features by hierarchical representation is the major contribution of this study. Additionally, this contribution incorporates cross-dataset evaluation, which enables the generation of more independent performance results from the model's training dataset. According to cross-dataset evaluation results, the proposed technique advances the results of the present attention-based techniques by utilizing temporal convolutions, which give us more flexible receptive field sizes are utilized. The suggested technique's findings are compared to those of state-of-the-art models and show that our approach outperforms them.
