Medical image segmentation plays an important role in various clinical applications; however, existing deep learning models face trade-offs between efficiency and accuracy. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) capture local details well but miss the global context, whereas transformers handle the global context but at a high computational cost. Recently, State Space Sequence Models (SSMs) have shown potential for capturing long-range dependencies with linear complexity; however, their direct use in medical image segmentation remains limited due to incompatibility with image structures and autoregressive assumptions. To overcome these challenges, we propose SAMA-UNet, a novel U-shaped architecture that introduces two key innovations. First, the Self-Adaptive Mamba-like Aggregated Attention (SAMA) block adaptively integrates local and global features through dynamic attention weighting, enabling an efficient representation of complex anatomical patterns. Second, the causal resonance multi-scale module (CR-MSM) improves encoder-decoder interactions by adjusting feature resolution and causal dependencies across scales, enhancing the semantic alignment between low- and high-level features. Extensive experiments on MRI, CT, and endoscopy datasets demonstrate that SAMA-UNet consistently outperforms CNN, Transformer, and Mamba-based methods. It achieves 85.38% DSC and 87.82% NSD on BTCV, 92.16% and 96.54% on ACDC, 67.14% and 68.70% on EndoVis17, and 84.06% and 88.47% on ATLAS23, establishing new benchmarks across modalities. These results confirm the effectiveness of SAMA-UNet in combining efficiency and accuracy, making it a promising solution for real-world clinical segmentation tasks. The source code is available on GitHub.

High dimensionality in datasets produced by microarray technology presents a challenge for Machine Learning (ML) algorithms, particularly in terms of dimensionality reduction and handling imbalanced sample sizes. To mitigate the explained problems, we have proposedhybrid ensemble feature selection techniques with majority voting classifier for micro array classi f ication. Here we have considered both filter and wrapper-based feature selection techniques including Mutual Information (MI), Chi-Square, Variance Threshold (VT), Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO), Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), and Recursive Feature Elimination (RFE), followed by Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) for selecting the optimal features. This Artificial Intelligence (AI) approach leverages a Majority Voting Classifier that combines multiple machine learning models, such as Logistic Regression (LR), Random Forest (RF), and Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), to enhance overall performance and accuracy. By leveraging the strengths of each model, the ensemble approach aims to provide more reliable and effective diagnostic predictions. The efficacy of the proposed model has been tested in both local and cloud environments. In the cloud environment, three virtual machines virtual Central Processing Unit (vCPU) with size 8,16 and 64 bits, have been used to demonstrate the model performance. From the experiment it has been observed that, virtual Central Processing Unit (vCPU)-64 bits provides better classification accuracies of 95.89%, 97.50%, 99.13%, 99.58%, 99.11%, and 94.60% with six microarray datasets, Mixed Lineage Leukemia (MLL), Leukemia, Small Round Blue Cell Tumors (SRBCT), Lymphoma, Ovarian, andLung,respectively, validating the effectiveness of the proposed modelin bothlocalandcloud environments.
