MethodTypeAdvantagesLimitations

CNN models [1114, 1618, 20, 21]Deep learning methodFeature extraction is efficient, and feature learning process helps to provide reliable classification.Overfitting problem in the training and validation.
SVM [15, 19, 2225]Machine learning modelSVM model has the capacity to handle the high-dimensional dataset.SVM model has lower efficiency in learning the feature differences, which affects the sensitivity and specificity.
Fuzzy logic [26]Fuzzy modelFuzzy model updates the rules to improve the classification process.Fuzzy model is highly sensitive to outliers and has lower efficiency in feature learning.
GWO-DNN [27]Deep learningGWO method selects the parameter for the DNN to improve the classification performance.GWO method is easily trapped into local optima, and the DNN model suffers from an overfitting problem.
