The role of artificial intelligence (AI) in art is examined in this study, focusing on how AI can bridge the gap between automation and human creativity. Using a qualitative approach, the study gathers information through in-depth interviews with academics, artists, and professionals in the art field to understand their perspectives on integrating AI into the creative process. The study looks at how AI technologies affect artistic creation, from creating new works of art to enhancing conventional techniques. It in…

This paper proposes a novel Hybrid Metaheuristic Framework (HMF) that integrates multiple optimization strategies within a self-adaptive mechanism for solving large-scale combinatorial problems. Unlike traditional metaheuristics, which rely on fixed algorithmic parameters and predefined strategies, HMF dynamically selects and adjusts heuristic operators using a reinforcement learning-based adaptive mechanism. Specifically, the framework employs Deep Q-Learning to guide real-time parameter tuning and metaheuristic …

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is prevalent, driven by the resurgence of machine learning (ML) and advancements in data-driven applications, which have created new opportunities to surpass traditional statistical limits in health analytics. This study develops and assesses a deep artificial neural network (ANN) to predict public awareness of Colorectal Cancer (CRC) using six demographic and socioeconomic factors: age, gender, marital status, educational level, work status, and place of residence. Primary data were c…

The number of individuals diagnosed with colorectal cancer (CRC) is rising, coinciding with increased efforts to raise awareness about preventive healthcare. Awareness of CRC is crucial for early detection and higher survival rates. Although progress has been made globally, significant disparities still exist, especially in low- and middle-income regions like the Arab world. Lebanon's increasing CRC rates demand urgent, targeted actions to raise awareness, promote screening, and ultimately decrease mortality. This…

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is widely recognized as an increasing global health issue, with many studies noting rising case numbers and forecasting significant future impacts. This paper critically evaluates the accuracy of these projections, suggesting that the perceived rise in CRC cases is primarily driven by three major non-epidemiological factors: global population growth, advances in medical information systems and cancer registries, and greater public awareness from health campaigns. When these factors are cons…
