Abstract: Thyroid disease is one of the most common endocrine disorders affecting millions of people worldwide. The thyroid gland plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism, growth, and overall body functions. Any imbalance in thyroid hormone production can lead to conditions such as hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism. Early detection of thyroid disorders is important to prevent serious health complications and to ensure timely treatment. Traditional methods of diagnosing thyroid disease rely on laboratory tests and manual evaluation, which may be time-consuming and sometimes prone to errors. With the advancement of artificial intelligence, deep learning techniques can assist medical professionals in improving diagnostic accuracy and reducing workload. In this project, a deep learning-based Multi-Layer Recursive Neural Network (ML-RNN) is proposed for thyroid disease detection and classification. The system includes data preprocessing, feature selection using the Fisher Score method, and classification using the ML-RNN model. The dataset used for analysis is obtained from a standard repository and includes various thyroid-related attributes. The performance of the proposed model is evaluated using metrics such as accuracy, recall, precision, and error rate. Experimental results show that the ML-RNN model achieves better performance compared to traditional machine learning algorithms such as Support Vector Machine (SVM), K-Nearest Neighbours (KNN), and Random Forest (RF). The proposed approach provides an effective and reliable method for thyroid disease detection.
