HybridCN-NAS: Precision Acute Leukemia Diagnosis Using Multi-Head Self-Attention Framework

DIU-DoR Poster Presentation · Division of Research · Daffodil International University

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia classification poses a significant diagnostic challenge, requiring accurate differentiation between benign hematogones and malignant lymphoblast subtypes. This study presents a novel four-phase deep learning framework for automated peripheral blood smear image analysis. It integrates Reinhard stain normalization, CLAHE contrast enhancement, Attention U-Net segmentation, and a HybridCN-NAS feature extractor combining ConvNeXt and NASNet Large architectures. Multi-head self-attention classification was applied to 3,256 images from 89 patients across four cellular classes. Additional components include multiscale enhancement, watershed segmentation, z-score normalization, and mRMR feature selection. The model achieved 99.92% accuracy, 99.64% AUC, and 99.79% MCC. A web-based diagnostic system provides real-time, interpretable, confidence-weighted predictions.
