This paper proposes a novel approach to animal condition classification, leveraging an Auto-encoder-based feature selection process and an Improved Hybrid Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) with Bidirectional (Bi-LSTM) classification methodology. The Auto-encoder-based feature selection process identifies key features in the Animal Condition Classification Dataset by learning a compressed representation and calculating feature importance scores, capturing critical information for accurate classification. The Improved Hybrid CNN with Bi-LSTM classification model combines the strengths of CNNs in feature extraction and Bi-LSTMs in sequence modeling, enabling robust classification of animal conditions. The CNN component extracts local patterns and hierarchies in the data, while the Bi-LSTM component captures long-range dependencies and contextual information. The proposed model is trained using the Adam optimizer with a categorical cross-entropy loss function and optimized through grid search, thereby demonstrating enhanced classification capabilities for animal conditions. It attains superior performance metrics including accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score relative to existing models, thus offering a reliable and accurate solution for animal condition classification. The proposed HCNN-BiLSTM method achieved impressive results on an animal condition classification dataset, with a precision of 99.03, recall of 100, accuracy of 99.25, and F1-score of 100, outperforming CNN, LSTM, and HKNN-VNC models.}, journal = {Journal of Computer Science}, publisher = {Science Publications} }
