ENHANCING MONKEY POX DETECTION: A DEEP LEARNING APPROACH

Abstract

As the world gradually recovers from the impacts of COVID-19, the recent global spread of Monkey pox disease has raised concerns about another potential pandemic, highlighting the urgency of early detection and intervention to curb its transmission. Deep Learning (DL)-based disease prediction presents a promising solution, offering affordable and accessible diagnostic services. Transfer Learning (TL) techniques is used to tweak and assess the performance of an array of six different DL models, encompassing VGG16, InceptionResNetV2, ResNet50, ResNetlOl, MobileNetV2, VGGI9, and Vision Transformer (ViT). Among this diverse collection, it was the modified versions of the VGG19 and MobileNetV2 models that outshone the others, boasting striking accuracy rates. The results echo the findings of recent research endeavors that similarly showcase enhanced performance when developing disease diagnostic models armed with the power of TL. To add to this, Local Interpretable Model Agnostic Explanations (LIME) is used to lend a sense of transparency to the model’s predictions, identification are the crucial features correlating with the onset of Monkey pox disease. These findings offer significant implications for disease prevention and control efforts, particularly in remote and resource-limited areas. To improve the accuracy and other benchmarks of the existing methods a novel Hybrid MobileNetV2 is proposed.

In this innovation we propose Novel Hybrid MobileNetV2 to improve accuracy of model.

Novel Hybrid MobileNctV2: It refers to a variation of the MobileNetV2 architecture that combines traditional MobileNetV2 elements with additional or modified features to enhance performance, particularly in tasks that require efficient and accurate processing on mobile or low-resource devices. MobileNetV2 is a popular convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture designed for mobile and embedded vision applications. It focuses on balancing efficiency and accuracy, making it ideal for real-time processing on devices with limited computational resources.

Key Concepts of MobHeNetV2:_ .
1. Lightweight and Efficient:
o MobileNetV2 is designed to be computationally efficient, requiring fewer parameters and less computational power compared to traditional CNNs. This makes it well-suited for mobile and embedded devices where resources are limited.

o It achieves this efficiency through the use of depth wise separable convolutions, which separate the convolution operation into two smaller tasks, significantly reducing the number of computations.

2. Inverted Residuals with Linear Bottlenecks:

o A core feature of MobileNetV2 is its use of inverted residual blocks with linear'bottlenecks. In traditional residual networks, the input is expanded to a higher-dimensional space for processing and then reduced back. MobileNetV2 inverts this concept, starting with a high-dimensional input, compressing it to a lower dimension for processing, and then expanding it back.

o This structure helps preserve the important features while reducing computational cost and avoiding the risk of information loss.

It is an innovative, deep learning-based diagnostic tool that enhances the detection and management of Monkey pox. By automating the diagnostic process and providing quick, accurate results, the system supports healthcare professionals in delivering timeily care and preventing the spread of the virus. Its adaptability, privacy-focused design, and ease of integration make it a valuable resource for both advanced healthcare settings and re source-limited environments.

Overall, this invention represents a step forward in the application of artificial intelligence to healthcare, offering a reliable, efficient, and scalable solution to tackle the

challenges of Monkey pox detection and management, ultimately contributing to better health outcomes and improved outbreak control.
