Abstract Bone scintigraphy (BS) is one of the most frequently utilized diagnostic techniques in detecting cancer bone metastasis, and it occupies an enormous workload for nuclear medicine physicians. So, we aimed to architecture an automatic image interpreting system to assist physicians for diagnosis. We developed an artificial intelligence (AI) model based on a deep neural network with 12,222 cases of 99mTc-MDP bone scintigraphy and evaluated its diagnostic performance of bone metastasis. This AI model demonstrated considerable diagnostic performance, the areas under the curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) was 0.988 for breast cancer, 0.955 for prostate cancer, 0.957 for lung cancer, and 0.971 for other cancers. Applying this AI model to a new dataset of 400 BS cases, it represented comparable performance to that of human physicians individually classifying bone metastasis. Further AI-consulted interpretation also improved human diagnostic sensitivity and accuracy. In total, this AI model performed a valuable benefit for nuclear medicine physicians in timely and accurate evaluation of cancer bone metastasis.

Recent developments in artificial intelligence (AI) modeling tools allows for envisaging that AI will remove elements of human mechanical effort from welding operations. This paper contributes to this development by proposing an AI tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding algorithm that can assist human welders to select desirable end factors to achieve good weld quality in the welding process. To demonstrate its feasibility, the proposed model has been tested with data from 27 experiments using current, arc length and welding speed as control parameters to predict weld bead width. A fuzzy deep neural network, which is a combination of fuzzy logic and deep neural network approaches, is applied in the algorithm. Simulations were carried out on an experimental test dataset with the AI TIG welding algorithm. The results showed 92.59% predictive accuracy (25 out of 27 correct answers) as compared to the results from the experiment. The performance of the algorithm at this nascent stage demonstrates the feasibility of the proposed method. This performance shows that in future work, if its predictive accuracy is improved with human input and more data, it could achieve the level of accuracy that could support the human welder in the field to enhance efficiency in the welding process. The findings are useful for industries that are in the welding trade and serve as an educational tool.

In this paper, an artificial intelligence segmented dynamic video image based on the process of intensive cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease monitoring is deeply investigated, and a sparse automatic coding deep neural network with a four layers stack structure is designed to automatically extract the deep features of the segmented dynamic video image shot, and six categories of normal, atrial premature, ventricular premature, right bundle branch block, left bundle branch block, and pacing are achieved through hierarchical training and optimization. Accurate recognition of heartbeats with an average accuracy of 99.5%. It provides technical assistance for the intelligent prediction of high-risk cardiovascular diseases like ventricular fibrillation. An intelligent prediction algorithm for sudden cardiac death based on the echolocation network was proposed. By designing an echolocation network with a multilayer serial structure, an intelligent distinction between sudden cardiac death signal and non-sudden death signal was realized, and the signal was predicted 5 min before sudden death occurred, with an average prediction accuracy of 94.32%. Using the self-learning capability of stack sparse auto-coding network, a large amount of label-free data is designed to train the stack sparse auto-coding deep neural network to automatically extract deep representations of plaque features. A small amount of labeled data then introduced to micro-train the entire network. Through the automatic analysis of the fiber cap thickness in the plaques, the automatic identification of thin fiber cap-like vulnerable plaques was achieved, and the average overlap of vulnerable regions reached 87%. The overall time for the automatic plaque and vulnerable plaque recognition algorithm was 0.54 s. It provides theoretical support for accurate diagnosis and endogenous analysis of high-risk cardiovascular diseases.

Recently, such a direction of machine learning as reinforcement learning has been actively developing. As a consequence, attempts are being made to use reinforcement learning for solving computer vision problems, in particular for solving the problem of image classification. The tasks of computer vision are currently one of the most urgent tasks of artificial intelligence. The article proposes a method for image classification in the form of a deep neural network using reinforcement learning. The idea of ​​the developed method comes down to solving the problem of a contextual multi-armed bandit using various strategies for achieving a compromise between exploitation and research and reinforcement learning algorithms. Strategies such as -greedy, -softmax, -decay-softmax, and the UCB1 method, and reinforcement learning algorithms such as DQN, REINFORCE, and A2C are considered. The analysis of the influence of various parameters on the efficiency of the method is carried out, and options for further development of the method are proposed.

In this study we propose a piezoelectric MEMS vibration energy harvester with the capability of oscillating at low (i.e., less than 200 Hz) resonant frequency. The mechanical structure of the proposed harvester is comprised of a doubly clamped cantilever with a serpentine pattern associated with several discrete masses. In order to obtain the optimal physical aspects of the harvester and speed up the design process, we have utilized a deep neural network, as an artificial intelligence (AI) method. Firstly, the deep neural network was trained with 108 data samples gained from finite element modeling (FEM). Then this trained network was integrated with the genetic algorithm (GA) to optimize geometry of the harvester to enhance its performance in terms of resonant frequency and generated voltage. Our numerical results confirm that the accuracy of the network in prediction is above 90%. Consequently, by taking advantage of this efficient AI-based performance estimator, the GA is able to reduce the device operational frequency from 169 Hz to 110.5 Hz and increase its efficiency on harvested voltage from 2.5 V to 3.4 V under 0.25 g excitation.
