Machine learning (ML) is a popular tool in healthcare while it can help to analyze large amounts of patient data, such as medical records, predict diseases, and identify early signs of cancer. Gastric cancer starts in the cells lining the stomach and is known as the 5th most common cancer worldwide. Therefore, predicting the survival of patients, checking their health status, and detecting their risk of gastric cancer in the early stages can be very beneficial. Surprisingly, with the help of machine learning methods, this can be possible without the need for any invasive methods which can be useful for both patients and physicians in making informed decisions. Accordingly, a new hybrid machine learning-based method for detecting the risk of gastric cancer is proposed in this paper. The proposed model is compared with traditional methods and based on the empirical results, not only the proposed method outperform existing methods with an accuracy of 98% but also gastric cancer can be one of the most important consequences of H. pylori infection. Additionally, it can be concluded that lifestyle and dietary factors can heighten the risk of gastric cancer, especially among individuals who frequently consume fried foods and suffer from chronic atrophic gastritis and stomach ulcers. This risk is further exacerbated in individuals with limited fruit and vegetable intake and high salt consumption.

With the rapid development of textual information on the web, sentiment analysis is changing to an essential analytic tool rather than an academic endeavor and numerous studies have been carried out in recent years to address this issue. By the emergence of deep learning, deep neural networks have attracted a lot of attention and become mainstream in this field. Despite the remarkable success of deep learning models for sentiment analysis of text, they are in the early steps of development and their potential is yet to be fully explored. Convolutional neural network is one of the deep learning methods that has been surpassed for sentiment analysis but is confronted with some limitations. Firstly, convolutional neural network requires a large number of training data. Secondly, it assumes that all words in a sentence have an equal contribution to the polarity of a sentence. To fill these lacunas, a convolutional neural network equipped with the attention mechanism is proposed in this paper which not only takes advantage of the attention mechanism but also utilizes transfer learning to boost the performance of sentiment analysis. According to the empirical results, our proposed model achieved comparable or even better classification accuracy than the state-of-the-art methods.
