Brain tumor detection from MRI images is a challenging process due to high diversity in the tumor pixels of different peoples. Automatic detection has got wide spread acclaim because the manual detection by experts is time consuming and prone to error in judgment. Due to its high mortality rate, detection of tumor automatically is a new emerging technique in bio medical imaging. Here we present a review of few methods from simple thresholding to advanced deep learning methods for segmentation of tumor from MRI data. The segmentation of tumor methods is classified to image segmentation using gray level processing, machine learning and deep learning. The results of various methods are compared to find the best methods available. As medical imaging methods have improving day by day this review will help to understand emerging trends in brain tumor detection.

Deep learning has proven to be a landmark computing approach to the computer vision domain. Hence, it has been widely applied to solve complex cognitive tasks like the detection of anomalies in surveillance videos. Anomaly detection in this case is the identification of abnormal events in the surveillance videos which can be deemed as security incidents or threats. Deep learning solutions for anomaly detection has outperformed other traditional machine learning solutions. This review attempts to provide holistic benchmarking of the published deep learning solutions for videos anomaly detection since 2016. The paper identifies, the learning technique, datasets used and the overall model accuracy. Reviewed papers were organised into five deep learning methods namely; autoencoders, continual learning, transfer learning, reinforcement learning and ensemble learning. Current and emerging trends are discussed as well.

AbstractBackgroundThis study developed deep learning models to monitor global intention and confidence of Covid-19 vaccination in real time.MethodsWe collected 6.73 million English tweets regarding Covid-19 vaccination globally from January 2020 to February 2021. Fine-tuned Transformer-based deep learning models were used to classify tweets in real time as they relate to Covid-19 vaccination intention and confidence. Temporal and spatial trends were performed to map the global prevalence of Covid-19 vaccination intention and confidence, and public engagement on social media was analyzed.FindingsGlobally, the proportion of tweets indicating intent to accept Covid-19 vaccination declined from 64.49% on March to 39.54% on September 2020, and then began to recover, reaching 52.56% in early 2021. This recovery in vaccine acceptance was largely driven by the US and European region, whereas other regions experienced the declining trends in 2020. Intent to accept and confidence of Covid-19 vaccination were relatively high in South-East Asia, Eastern Mediterranean, and Western Pacific regions, but low in American, European, and African regions. 12.71% tweets expressed misinformation or rumors in South Korea, 14.04% expressed distrust in government in the US, and 16.16% expressed Covid-19 vaccine being unsafe in Greece, ranking first globally. Negative tweets, especially misinformation or rumors, were more engaged by twitters with fewer followers than positive tweets.InterpretationThis global real-time surveillance study highlights the importance of deep learning based social media monitoring to detect emerging trends of Covid-19 vaccination intention and confidence to inform timely interventions.FundingNational Natural Science Foundation of China.Research in contextEvidence before this studyWith COVID-19 vaccine rollout, each country should investigate its vaccination intention in local contexts to ensure massive vaccination. We searched PubMed for all articles/preprints until April 9, 2021 with the keywords “(“Covid-19 vaccines”[Mesh] OR Covid-19 vaccin*[TI]) AND (confidence[TI] OR hesitancy[TI] OR acceptance[TI] OR intention[TI])”. We identified more than 100 studies, most of which are country-level cross-sectional surveys, and the largest global survey of Covid-19 vaccine acceptance only covered 32 countries to date. However, how Covid-19 vaccination intention changes over time remain unknown, and many countries are not covered in previous surveys yet. A few studies assessed public sentiments towards Covid-19 vaccination using social media data, but only targeting limited geographical areas. There is a lack of real-time surveillance, and no study to date has globally monitored Covid-19 vaccination intention in real time.Added value of this studyTo our knowledge, this is the largest global monitoring study of Covid-19 vaccination intention and confidence with social media data in over 100 countries from the beginning of the pandemic to February 2021. This study developed deep learning models by fine-tuning a Bidirectional Encoder Representation from Transformer (BERT)-based model with 8000 manually-classified tweets, which can be used to monitor Covid-19 vaccination beliefs using social media data in real time. It achieves temporal and spatial analyses of the evolving beliefs to Covid-19 vaccines across the world, and also an insight for many countries not yet covered in previous surveys. This study highlights that the intention to accept Covid-19 vaccination have experienced a declining trend since the beginning of the pandemic in all world regions, with some regions recovering recently, though not to their original levels. This recovery was largely driven by the US and European region (EUR), whereas other regions experienced the declining trends in 2020. Intention to accept and confidence of Covid-19 vaccination were relatively high in South-East Asia region (SEAR), Eastern Mediterranean region (EMR), and Western Pacific region (WPR), but low in American region (AMR), EUR, and African region (AFR). Many AFR countries worried more about vaccine effectiveness, while EUR, AMR, and WPR concerned more about vaccine safety (the most concerns with 16.16% in Greece). Online misinformation or rumors were widespread in AMR, EUR, and South Korea (12.71%, ranks first globally), and distrust in government was more prevalent in AMR (14.04% in the US, ranks first globally). Our findings can be used as a reference point for survey data on a single country in the future, and inform timely and specific interventions for each country to address Covid-19 vaccine hesitancy.Implications of all the available evidenceThis global real-time surveillance study highlights the importance of deep learning based social media monitoring as a quick and effective method for detecting emerging trends of Covid-19 vaccination intention and confidence to inform timely interventions, especially in settings with limited sources and urgent timelines. Future research should build multilingual deep learning models and monitor Covid-19 vaccination intention and confidence in real time with data from multiple social media platforms.

The concept of face recognition is in the emerging trends nowadays ,because of its wide application range .Usually ,the face recognition is used in the surveillance ,security and Here, Face recognition is used to allocate attendance for a candidate.Deep neural networks is a group of artificial intelligence entirely based on neural networks, because the algorithm will imitate the human brain, so deep learning can be a kind of imitation of the human brain.Local Binary Pattern (LBP) is a basic but also very advanced creaminess operator that names image pixels through thresholding every pixel's district and considers the outcome as just a binary number.If the recognised face is not authenticated or if unauthorised person is identified by the system ,it immediately alerts the server and the classroom door remains closed. In this project we have created our own database with faculty and students of our section using Logitech C270 HD camera with resolution of 720p/30fps

<p>Many techniques have been introduced to improve both brain-computer interface (BCI) steps: feature extraction and classification. One of the emerging trends in this field is the implementation of deep learning algorithms. There is a limited number of studies that investigated the application of deep learning techniques in electroencephalography (EEG) feature extraction and classification. This work is intended to apply deep learning for both stages: feature extraction and classification. This paper proposes a modified convolutional neural network (CNN) feature extractorclassifier algorithm to recognize four different EEG motor imagery (MI). In addition, a four-class linear discriminant analysis (LDR) classifier model was built and compared to the proposed CNN model. The paper showed very good results with 92.8% accuracy for one EEG four-class MI set and 85.7% for another set. The results showed that the proposed CNN model outperforms multi-class linear discriminant analysis with an accuracy increase of 28.6% and 17.9% for both MI sets, respectively. Moreover, it has been shown that majority voting for five repetitions introduced an accuracy advantage of 15% and 17.2% for both EEG sets, compared with single trials. This confirms that increasing the number of trials for the same MI gesture improves the recognition accuracy</p>

&lt;p&gt;In the last few years, deep learning has solved seemingly intractable problems, boosting the hope to find approximate solutions to problems that now are considered unsolvable. Earthquake prediction, the Grail of Seismology, is, in this context of continuous exciting discoveries, an obvious choice for deep learning exploration. We reviewed the literature of artificial neural network (ANN) applications for earthquake prediction (77 articles, 1994-2019 period) and found two emerging trends: an increasing interest in this domain over time, and a complexification of ANN models towards deep learning. Despite the relatively positive results claimed in those studies, we verified that far simpler (and traditional) models seem to offer similar predictive powers, if not better ones. Those include an exponential law for magnitude prediction, and a power law (approximated by a logistic regression or one artificial neuron) for aftershock prediction in space. Due to the structured, tabulated nature of earthquake catalogues, and the limited number of features so far considered, simpler and more transparent machine learning models than ANNs seem preferable at the present stage of research. Those baseline models follow first physical principles and are consistent with the known empirical laws of Statistical Seismology (e.g. the Gutenberg-Richter law), which are already known to have minimal abilities to predict large earthquakes.&lt;/p&gt;
