Abstract: This paper discusses the critical relevance of precise forecasting in liver disease, as well as the need for early identification and categorization for immediate action and personalized treatment strategies. The paper describes a unique strategy for improving liver disease classification using ultrasound image processing. The recommended technique combines the properties of the Extreme Learning Machine (ELM), Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), along Grey Wolf Optimisation (GWO) to form an integrated model known as CNN-ELM-GWO. The data is provided by Pakistan's Multan Institute of Nuclear Medicine and Radiotherapy, and it is then pre-processed utilizing bilateral and optimal wavelet filtering techniques to increase the dataset's quality. To properly extract significant visual information, feature extraction employs a deep CNN architecture using six convolutional layers, batch normalization, and max-pooling. The ELM serves as a classifier, whereas the CNN is a feature extractor. The GWO algorithm, based on grey wolf searching strategies, refines the CNN and ELM hyperparameters in two stages, progressively boosting the system's classification accuracy. When implemented in Python, CNN-ELM-GWO exceeds traditional machine learning algorithms (MLP, RF, KNN, and NB) in terms of accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score metrics. The proposed technique achieves an impressive 99.7% accuracy, revealing its potential to significantly enhance the classification of liver disease by employing ultrasound images. The CNN-ELM-GWO technique outperforms conventional approaches in liver disease forecasting by a substantial margin of 27.5%, showing its potential to revolutionize medical imaging and prospects.
