Abstract Background Accessible tools to efficiently detect and segment diffusion abnormalities in acute strokes are highly anticipated by the clinical and research communities. Methods We developed a tool with deep learning networks trained and tested on a large dataset of 2,348 clinical diffusion weighted MRIs of patients with acute and sub-acute ischemic strokes, and further tested for generalization on 280 MRIs of an external dataset (STIR). Results Our proposed model outperforms generic networks and DeepMedic, particularly in small lesions, with lower false positive rate, balanced precision and sensitivity, and robustness to data perturbs (e.g., artefacts, low resolution, technical heterogeneity). The agreement with human delineation rivals the inter-evaluator agreement; the automated lesion quantification of volume and contrast has virtually total agreement with human quantification. Conclusion Our tool is fast, public, accessible to non-experts, with minimal computational requirements, to detect and segment lesions via a single command line. Therefore, it fulfills the conditions to perform large scale, reliable and reproducible clinical and translational research.

A support vector machine (SVM) model combined Laplacian Eigenmaps (LE) with Cross Validation (CV) is proposed for intrusion detection. In the proposed model, a classifier is adopted to estimate whether an action is an attack or not. Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) is used to estimate the intrinsic dimensions, and LE is used as a preprocessor of SVM to reduce the dimensions of feature vectors then training time is shortened. In order to improve the performance of SVM, CV is used to optimize the parameters of SVM in RBF kernel function. Compared with other detection algorithms, the experimental results show that the proposed model has the advantages: shorter training time, higher accuracy rate and lower false positive rate.

Abstract Background: Computer-aided diagnosis using deep learning algorithms has been initially applied in the field of mammography, but there is no large-scale clinical application.Methods: This study proposed to develop and verify an artificial intelligence model based on mammography. Firstly, retrospectively collected mammograms from six centers were randomized to a training dataset and a validation dataset for establishing the model. Secondly, the model was tested by comparing 12 radiologists’ performance with and without it. Finally, prospectively multicenter mammograms were diagnosed by radiologists with the model. The detection and diagnostic capabilities were evaluated using the free-response receiver operating characteristic (FROC) curve and ROC curve.Results: The sensitivity of model for detecting lesion after matching was 0.908 for false positive rate of 0.25 in unilateral images. The area under ROC curve (AUC) to distinguish the benign from malignant lesions was 0.855 (95% CI: 0.830, 0.880). The performance of 12 radiologists with the model was higher than that of radiologists alone (AUC: 0.852 vs. 0.808, P = 0.005). The mean reading time of with the model was shorter than that of reading alone (80.18 s vs. 62.28 s, P = 0.03). In prospective application, the sensitivity of detection reached 0.887 at false positive rate of 0.25; the AUC of radiologists with the model was 0.983 (95% CI: 0.978, 0.988), with sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV of 94.36%, 98.07%, 87.76%, and 99.09%, respectively.Conclusions: The artificial intelligence model exhibits high accuracy for detecting and diagnosing breast lesions, improves diagnostic accuracy and saves time.Trial registration: NCT, NCT03708978.

Abstract Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is now the standard of care for brain metastases (BMs) patients. The SRS treatment planning process requires precise target delineation, which in clinical workflow for patients with multiple (>4) BMs (mBMs) could become a pronounced time bottleneck. Our group has developed an automated BMs segmentation platform to assist in this process. The accuracy of the auto-segmentation, however, is influenced by the presence of false-positive segmentations, mainly caused by the injected contrast during MRI acquisition. To address this problem and further improve the segmentation performance, a deep-learning and radiomics ensemble classifier was developed to reduce the false-positive rate in segmentations. The proposed model consists of a Siamese network and a radiomic-based support vector machine (SVM) classifier. The 2D-based Siamese network contains a pair of parallel feature extractors with shared weights followed by a single classifier. This architecture is designed to identify the inter-class difference. On the other hand, the SVM model takes the radiomic features extracted from 3D segmentation volumes as the input for twofold classification, either a false-positive segmentation or a true BM. Lastly, the outputs from both models create an ensemble to generate the final label. The performance of the proposed model in the segmented mBMs testing dataset reached the accuracy (ACC), sensitivity (SEN), specificity (SPE) and area under the curve (AUC) of 0.91, 0.96, 0.90 and 0.93, respectively. After integrating the proposed model into the original segmentation platform, the average segmentation false negative rate (FNR) and the false positive over the union (FPoU) were 0.13 and 0.09, respectively, which preserved the initial FNR (0.07) and significantly improved the FPoU (0.55). The proposed method effectively reduced the false-positive rate in the BMs raw segmentations indicating that the integration of the proposed ensemble classifier into the BMs segmentation platform provides a beneficial tool for mBMs SRS management.

Fingerprinting Attack

Abstract In recent years, there have been several works that use website fingerprinting techniques to enable a local adversary to determine which website a Tor user visits. While the current state-of-the-art attack, which uses deep learning, outperforms prior art with medium to large amounts of data, it attains marginal to no accuracy improvements when both use small amounts of training data. In this work, we propose Var-CNN, a website fingerprinting attack that leverages deep learning techniques along with novel insights specific to packet sequence classification. In open-world settings with large amounts of data, Var-CNN attains over 1% higher true positive rate (TPR) than state-of-the-art attacks while achieving 4× lower false positive rate (FPR). Var-CNN’s improvements are especially notable in low-data scenarios, where it reduces the FPR of prior art by 3.12% while increasing the TPR by 13%. Overall, insights used to develop Var-CNN can be applied to future deep learning based attacks, and substantially reduce the amount of training data needed to perform a successful website fingerprinting attack. This shortens the time needed for data collection and lowers the likelihood of having data staleness issues.

Abstract Vulnerabilities can have very serious consequences for information security, with huge implications for economic, social, and even national security. Automated vulnerability detection has always been a keen topic for researchers. From traditional manual vulnerability mining to static detection and dynamic detection, all rely on human experts to define features. The rapid development of machine learning and deep learning has alleviated the tedious task of manually defining features by human experts while reducing the lack of objectivity caused by human subjective awareness. However, we still need to find an objective characterization method to define the features of vulnerabilities. Therefore, we use code metrics for code characterization, which are sequences of metrics that represent code. To use code metrics for vulnerability detection, we propose VulnExplore, a deep learning-based vulnerability detection model that uses a composite neural network of CNN + LSTM for feature extraction and learning of code metrics. Experimental results show that VulnExplore has a lower false positive rate, a lower miss rate, and a better accuracy rate compared to other deep learning-based vulnerability detection models.

Andrews & Kasy (2019) propose an approach for adjusting effect sizes in meta-analysis for publication bias. We use the Andrews-Kasy estimator to adjust the result of 15 meta-analyses and compare the adjusted results to 15 large-scale multiple labs replication studies estimating the same effects. The pre-registered replications provide precisely estimated effect sizes, which do not suffer from publication bias. The Andrews-Kasy approach leads to a moderate reduction of the inflated effect sizes in the meta-analyses. However, the approach still overestimates effect sizes by a factor of about two or more and has an estimated false positive rate of between 57% and 100%.

Proposed Model

UNSTRUCTURED Big data and its approaches are generally helpful for healthcare and biomedical sectors for predicting the disease. For trivial symptoms, the difficulty is to meet the doctors at any time in the hospital. Thus, big data provides essential data regarding the diseases on the basis of the patient’s symptoms. For several medical organizations, disease prediction is important for making the best feasible health care decisions. Conversely, the conventional medical care model offers input as structured that requires more accurate and consistent prediction. This paper is planned to develop the multi-disease prediction using the improvised deep learning concept. Here, the different datasets pertain to “Diabetes, Hepatitis, lung cancer, liver tumor, heart disease, Parkinson’s disease, and Alzheimer’s disease”, from the benchmark UCI repository is gathered for conducting the experiment. The proposed model involves three phases (a) Data normalization (b) Weighted normalized feature extraction, and (c) prediction. Initially, the dataset is normalized in order to make the attribute's range at a certain level. Further, weighted feature extraction is performed, in which a weight function is multiplied with each attribute value for making large scale deviation. Here, the weight function is optimized using the combination of two meta-heuristic algorithms termed as Jaya Algorithm-based Multi-Verse Optimization algorithm (JA-MVO). The optimally extracted features are subjected to the hybrid deep learning algorithms like “Deep Belief Network (DBN) and Recurrent Neural Network (RNN)”. As a modification to hybrid deep learning architecture, the weight of both DBN and RNN is optimized using the same hybrid optimization algorithm. Further, the comparative evaluation of the proposed prediction over the existing models certifies its effectiveness through various performance measures.

The Internet of Things has become a cutting-edge technology that is continuously evolving in size, connectivity, and applicability. This ecosystem makes its presence felt in every aspect of our lives, along with all other emerging technologies. Unfortunately, despite the significant benefits brought by the IoT, the increased attack surface built upon it has become more critical than ever. Devices have limited resources and are not typically created with security features. Lately, a trend of botnet threats transitioning to the IoT environment has been observed, and an army of infected IoT devices can expand quickly and be used for effective attacks. Therefore, identifying proper solutions for securing IoT systems is currently an important and challenging research topic. Machine learning-based approaches are a promising alternative, allowing the identification of abnormal behaviors and the detection of attacks. This paper proposes an anomaly-based detection solution that uses unsupervised deep learning techniques to identify IoT botnet activities. An empirical evaluation of the proposed method is conducted on both balanced and unbalanced datasets to assess its threat detection capability. False-positive rate reduction and its impact on the detection system are also analyzed. Furthermore, a comparison with other unsupervised learning approaches is included. The experimental results reveal the performance of the proposed detection method.

AbstractAlthough panoramic radiography has a role in the examination of patients with cleft alveolus (CA), its appearances is sometimes difficult to interpret. The aims of this study were to develop a computer-aided diagnosis system for diagnosing the CA status on panoramic radiographs using a deep learning object detection technique with and without normal data in the learning process, to verify its performance in comparison to human observers, and to clarify some characteristic appearances probably related to the performance. The panoramic radiographs of 383 CA patients with cleft palate (CA with CP) or without cleft palate (CA only) and 210 patients without CA (normal) were used to create two models on the DetectNet. The models 1 and 2 were developed based on the data without and with normal subjects, respectively, to detect the CAs and classify them into with or without CP. The model 2 reduced the false positive rate (1/30) compared to the model 1 (12/30). The overall accuracy of Model 2 was higher than Model 1 and human observers. The model created in this study appeared to have the potential to detect and classify CAs on panoramic radiographs, and might be useful to assist the human observers.
