, Preface
Currently, computational intelligence approaches are utilised in various science
and engineering applications to analyse information, make decisions, and achieve
optimisation goals. Over the past few decades, various techniques and algorithms
have been created in disciplines such as genetic algorithms, artificial neural
networks, evolutionary algorithms, and fuzzy algorithms. In the coming years,
intelligent optimisation algorithms are anticipated to become more efficient in
addressing various issues in engineering, scientific, medical, space, and artificial
satellite fields, particularly in early disease diagnosis. A metaheuristic in computer
science is designed to discover optimisation algorithms capable of solving intricate
issues. Metaheuristics are optimisation algorithms that mimic biological behaviours
of animals or birds and are utilised to discover the best solution for a certain
problem. A meta-heuristic is an advanced approach used by heuristics to tackle
intricate optimisation problems. A metaheuristic in mathematical programming
is a method that seeks a solution to an optimisation problem. Metaheuristics
utilise a heuristic function to assist in the search process. Heuristic search can be
categorised as a blind or informed search. Metaheuristic optimisation algorithms
are gaining popularity in various applications due to their simplicity, independence
from data trends, ability to find optimal solutions, and versatility across different
fields.
Recently, many nature-inspired computation algorithms have been utilised
to diagnose people with different diseases. Nature-inspired methodologies are
now widely utilised across several fields for tasks such as data analysis, decision-
making, and optimisation. Techniques inspired by nature are categorised as either
biology-based or natural phenomena-based. Bio-inspired computing encompasses
various topics in computer science, mathematics, and biology in recent years.
Bio-inspired computer optimisation algorithms are a developing method that
utilises concepts and inspiration from biological development to create new
and resilient competitive strategies. Bio-inspired optimisation algorithms have
gained recognition in machine learning and deep learning for solving complicated
issues in science and engineering. Utilising BIAs learning methods with machine
learning and deep learning shows great promise for accurately classifying medical
conditions.
This book explores the potential benefits of bio-inspired algorithms (BIAs)
and their application in machine learning and deep learning models for disease
diagnosis, including COVID-19, heart diseases, cancer, diabetes, and some other
diseases. It discusses the advantages of using bio-inspired algorithms in disease
diagnosis and concludes with research directions and future prospects in this field.
