Abstract: We present growing excesses consistent with a 95 GeV scalar. We provide a comprehensive analysis of the Two Higgs Doublet Model and an additional singlet (2HDM+S) at future $e^{+} e^{-}$ collider. In particular, we provide a precise mass reconstruction measurement for the scalar, $m_{S}$, using the recoil mass method through $e^{+} e^{-} \to Z S$ where $Z \to μ_{+} μ_{-}$ and $S \to b \bar{b}$ at $\sqrt{s} = 250$~GeV and $\sqrt{s} = 200$~GeV. Furthermore, we employ Deep Neural Network to analyze the properties and behaviour of the scalar particle with a mass most importantly to provide enhanced resolution for the separation between beyond the Standard Model (SM) signal and SM background in the region 95 - 96 GeV in the $S \to b \bar{b}$ for $μ_{+} μ_{-}$ channel. A 95 GeV scalar can be observed with $5σ$ significance at $15(10)$ fb$^{-1}$ integrated luminosity for $\sqrt{s} = 250(200)$~GeV. This strengthens the discovery of the potential of the future $e^{+} e^{-}$ collider.
