The absence of non-invasive technologies for predicting lung cancer necessitates faster, more efficient, and more accurate classification procedures due to the absence of non-invasive technologies for predicting lung cancer. Creating an automated and intelligent prediction system is crucial for identifying phases and predicting the possibility of a recurrence. The objective is to create an automated detection system for identifying lung cancer using an optimizationfocused deep learning model. We develop an adaptive multi-swarm PSO and combine it with the firefly algorithm to determine the ideal weight values for the Wavelet Neural Network (WNN) model. We use the HAPSO-FFA-WNN method to explore problems with multiple optimal solutions. This study evaluated two lung cancer datasets, and the proposed HAPSO-FFA-WNN model achieved 97.58% accuracy for dataset 1 and 98.54% accuracy for dataset 2. Furthermore, the proposed model achieved better precision, recall, and MCC performance metrics.en-USRisk analysisOptimizationLung cancerPredictionWavelet neural networkA NEW HYBRID ADAPTIVE OPTIMIZATION ALGORITHM BASED WAVELET NEURAL NETWORK FOR SEVERITY LEVEL PREDICTION FOR LUNG CANCER DATASETArticle
