Insights

This study introduces a new Dynamic Optuna Hybrid Harris Hawks Optimization (Dynamic Optuna H-HHO) to improve deep learning for coronary artery disease (CAD) prediction. The novel framework significantly boosts predictive accuracy for CAD detection.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is a major global health concern, driven by atherosclerotic plaque formation leading to coronary artery stenosis.
  • Current deep learning models for CAD prediction face limitations due to conventional optimization techniques, such as premature convergence and poor adaptability.
  • Accurate and early prediction of CAD is crucial for effective patient management and reducing mortality rates.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose and evaluate a novel Dynamic Optuna Hybrid Harris Hawks Optimization (Dynamic Optuna H-HHO) framework.
  • To enhance the performance and predictive accuracy of deep learning models for Coronary Artery Disease (CAD).
  • To overcome the limitations of traditional optimization methods in deep learning for medical image analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Development of the Dynamic Optuna H-HHO framework, incorporating dynamic parameter adjustment, adaptive escape energy, and Optuna-based hyperparameter tuning.
  • Application of the framework to optimize deep learning classifiers: ResNet-50, VGG-16, InceptionV3, and MobileNet.
  • Comparative performance evaluation against models optimized using the conventional Hybrid Harris Hawks Optimization (H-HHO) algorithm on a coronary artery stenosis dataset.

Main Results:

  • The Dynamic Optuna H-HHO framework demonstrated consistent improvements in predictive accuracy across all tested deep learning models.
  • InceptionV3 achieved a peak accuracy of 97.9% and MobileNet reached 97.6% using the proposed framework.
  • Conventional H-HHO optimization yielded a maximum accuracy of only 82.46%, highlighting the superiority of the new method.

Conclusions:

  • The Dynamic Optuna H-HHO framework offers a robust and scalable solution for enhancing deep learning-based Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) prediction.
  • The integration of adaptive optimization and automated hyperparameter tuning significantly improves model performance.
  • This advancement holds promise for more accurate and reliable CAD diagnosis, potentially reducing mortality rates.
