Background/Objectives: Early and accurate discrimination of neurological conditions, dementia, stroke and healthy aging, remains a critical clinical challenge. Electroencephalography (EEG) is a non-invasive measure of brain dynamics and entropy-based features obtained from multichannel EEG have shown strong discriminative ability. However, existing deep learning approaches do not sufficiently address the combined challenges of small clinical cohorts and high-dimensional entropy feature spaces. In this study, a novel architecture is proposed for multi-class neurological EEG classification under extreme small-sample conditions. Methods: A novel dual-branch Channel-wise Transformer and Attention-Branch Network (EEG-ChTABNet) are pr to classify 19-channel EEG entropy features into three classes (dementia, stroke, healthy control; N = 45; 15 per class). The architecture suggests four new designs. First, the Channel Importance Attention (CIA) block, which adaptively learns to re-weight the importance of electrodes via squeeze-excitation. Second, the dual-branch encoder, which combines the global multi-head self-attention with the local depthwise-separable convolution. Third, the gated sigmoid fusion mechanism. Fourth, the bottleneck residual classification head, to solve overfitting. Eight entropy feature sets: Amplitude-Aware Permutation Entropy (AAPE), Attention Entropy (AttEn), Dispersion Entropy (DisEn), Distribution Entropy (DistrEn), Fluctuation-based Dispersion Entropy (FDispEn), Fuzzy Entropy (FuzEn), Linear Gaussian Estimation of the Conditional Entropy (LinEn), and Symbolic Dynamics (SyDy) were evaluated individually with stratified 5-fold cross-validation on within-fold SMOTE augmentation. Results: EEG-ChTABNet consistently outperformed the baseline Transformer on all 8 feature sets. DisEn and SyDy features yielded peak classification accuracy of 73.3% (AUC: 0.823 and 0.857, respectively) compared to the corresponding baseline of 57.8% and 55.6%. SyDy achieved the best overall AUC of 0.857 and the dementia detection sensitivity was up to 86.7% over multiple feature sets. Conclusions: EEG-ChTABNet shows the effectiveness of channel-adaptive, dual-branch Transformer Designs for EEG-based neurological classification from Small-Sample Entropy Feature Data, and Identifying SyDy and DisEn as the Most Discriminative Feature Representations for Three-Class Neurological EEG Classification.
DeepFake is a concern for celebrities and everyone because it is simple to create. DeepFake images, especially high-quality ones, are difficult to detect using people, local descriptors, and current approaches. On the other hand, video manipulation detection is more accessible than an image, which many state-of-the-art systems offer. Moreover, the detection of video manipulation depends entirely on its detection through images. Many worked on DeepFake detection in images, but they had complex mathematical calculations in preprocessing steps, and many limitations, including that the face must be in front, the eyes have to be open, and the mouth should be open with the appearance of teeth, etc. Also, the accuracy of their counterfeit detectio

The classification of Arabic manuscripts in general is part of this field. In recent years, the processing of Arabian image databases by deep learning architectures has experienced a remarkable development. However, this remains insufficient to satisfy the enormous wealth of Arabic manuscripts. In this research, a deep learning architecture is used to address the issue of classifying Arabic letters written by hand. The method based on a convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture as a self-extractor and classifier. Considering the nature of the dataset images (binary images), the contours of the alphabet

It is such an important unit of conversation as it includes the transition from one strategy to the other to be accomplished in a systematic and orderly manner. These strategies are impaired in dementia patients thus lead to communication breakdown. This study aims at detecting the dementia patients' topic management strategies in selected speeches and answering the questions of which of these strategies are fully or partially detected in these speeches. The researchers use a qualitative method to examine the speeches of those patients and they adopt an eclectic

The main problem of the image classification process is the abundance of images, the high complexity of the data, and the shortage of labeled data, presenting the key obstacles in image classification. The cornerstone of image classification is evaluating the convolutional features retrieved from deep learning models and training them with machine learning classifiers.
