AI-Driven Ensemble Strategy for Discovering Neurotherapeutic Medicinal Plants
摘要
Central nervous system (CNS) diseases have witnessed an alarming rise globally, affecting millions of individuals and imposing significant healthcare expenses. Throughout history, indigenous medicinal plants have played a vital role in addressing various ailments, including CNS disorders. In this research, we propose a cutting-edge machine learning approach to accurately predict the effectiveness of medicinal plants in treating CNS diseases. Leveraging the VNPlant200 dataset comprising plant images and associated metadata, we train a convolutional neural network (CNN) to extract profound features. To amplify the discriminative power of these features, we employ matrix-based discriminant analysis, thereby augmenting our model's predictive capabilities. Furthermore, we integrate an ensemble technique that combines multiple classifiers, resulting in improved accuracy with a remarkable rate of 100%. Additionally, we have developed a user-friendly mobile application empowering individuals to identify and classify medicinal plants based on their potential for treating CNS diseases. This innovative work holds great promise in efficiently and cost-effectively identifying and harnessing the ability of conventionally used medicinal herbs to treat CNS disorders.
