AbstractImportanceState-of-the art performance is achieved with a deep learning object detection model for acne detection. There is little current research on object detection in dermatology and acne in particular. As such, this work is early in this field and achieves state of the art performance.ObjectiveTrain an object detection model on a publicly available data set of acne photos.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsA deep learning model is trained with cross validation on a data set of facial acne photos.Main Outcomes and MeasuresObject detection models for detecting acne for single-class (acne) and multi-class (four severity levels). We train and evaluate the models using standard metrics such as mean average precision (mAP). Then we manually evaluate the model predictions on the test set, and calculate accuracy in terms of precision, recall, F1, true and false positive and negative detections.ResultsWe achieve state-of-the art mean average precision [email protected] value of 37.97 for the single class acne detection task, and 26.50 for the 4-class acne detection task. Moreover, our manual evaluation shows that the single class detection model performs well on the validation set, achieving true positive 93.59 %, precision 96.45 % and recall 94.73 %.Conclusions and RelevanceWe are able to train a high-accuracy acne detection model using only a small publicly available data set of facial acne. Transfer learning on the pre-trained deep learning model yields good accuracy and high degree of transferability to patient submitted photographs. We also note that the training of standard architecture object detection models has given significantly better accuracy than more intricate and bespoke neural network architectures in the existing research literature.Key PointsQuestionCan deep learning-based acne detection models trained on a small data set of publicly available photos of patients with acne achieve high prediction accuracy?FindingsWe find that it is possible to train a reasonably good object detection model on a small, annotated data set of acne photos using standard deep learning architectures.MeaningDeep learning-based object detection models for acne detection can be a useful decision support tools for dermatologists treating acne patients in a digital clinical practice. It can prove a particularly useful tool for monitoring the time evolution of the acne disease state over prolonged time during follow-ups, as the model predictions give a quantifiable and comparable output for photographs over time. This is particularly helpful in teledermatological consultations, as a prediction model can be integrated in the patient-doctor remote communication.

Deep Learning Model

The images obtained by remote sensing contain important data about ground surface. It is an important issue to detect objects on the ground surface with these images. Deep learning models are known to give better results in studies on object detection. However, the superiority of the deep learning models over each other is unknown. For this reason, it should be clarified which model is superior in terms of object detection and which model should be used in studies. In this study, it was aimed to reveal the superiorities of deep learning models by comparing their performance in detecting multiple objects. By using 11 deep learning models that are frequently encountered in the literature, the application of detecting objects of 14 classes in the DOTA dataset were made. 49,053 objects in 888 images were used for training by using AlexNet, Vgg16, Vgg19, GoogleNet, SequezeeNet, Resnet18, Resnet50, Resnet101, Inceptionresnetv2, inceptionv3, DenseNet201 models. After the training, 13,772 objects consisting of 14 classes in 277 images were used for testing with RCNN, which is one of the object detection methods. The performance of each algorithm in 14 classes has been demonstrated by using Average Precision (AP) and Mean Average Precision (mAP) to measure the performance of the models from their metrics. In a particular class of each deep learning model, difference in performance was observed The model with the highest performance varies in each class. In the application, the most successful average mAP value of 14 classes was Vgg16 with 24.64, while the lowest was InceptionResnetV2 with 11.78. In this article, the success of deep learning models in detecting multiple objects has been demonstrated practically and it is thought to be an important resource for researchers who will study on this subject.

Neural networks have enabled state-of-the-art approaches to achieve incredible results on computer vision tasks such as object detection. However, previous works have tried to improve the performance in various object detection necks but have failed to extract features efficiently. To solve the insufficient features of objects, this work introduces some of the most advanced and representative network models based on the Faster R-CNN architecture, such as Libra R-CNN, Grid R-CNN, guided anchoring, and GRoIE. We observed the performance of Neighbour Feature Pyramid Network (NFPN) fusion, ResNet Region of Interest Feature Extraction (ResRoIE) and the Recursive Feature Pyramid (RFP) architecture at different scales of precision when these components were used in place of the corresponding original members in various networks obtained on the MS COCO dataset. Compared to the experimental results after replacing the neck and RoIE parts of these models with our Reinforced Neighbour Feature Fusion (RNFF) model, the average precision (AP) is increased by 3.2 percentage points concerning the performance of the baseline network.

Large Numbers

Image data is one of the primary sources of ecological data used in biodiversity conservation and management worldwide. However, classifying and interpreting large numbers of images is time and resource expensive, particularly in the context of camera trapping. Deep learning models have been used to achieve this task but are often not suited to specific applications due to their inability to generalise to new environments and inconsistent performance. Models need to be developed for specific species cohorts and environments, but the technical skills required to achieve this are a key barrier to the accessibility of this technology to ecologists. Thus, there is a strong need to democratize access to deep learning technologies by providing an easy-to-use software application allowing non-technical users to train custom object detectors. U-Infuse addresses this issue by providing ecologists with the ability to train customised models using publicly available images and/or their own images without specific technical expertise. Auto-annotation and annotation editing functionalities minimize the constraints of manually annotating and pre-processing large numbers of images. U-Infuse is a free and open-source software solution that supports both multiclass and single class training and object detection, allowing ecologists to access deep learning technologies usually only available to computer scientists, on their own device, customised for their application, without sharing intellectual property or sensitive data. It provides ecological practitioners with the ability to (i) easily achieve object detection within a user-friendly GUI, generating a species distribution report, and other useful statistics, (ii) custom train deep learning models using publicly available and custom training data, (iii) achieve supervised auto-annotation of images for further training, with the benefit of editing annotations to ensure quality datasets. Broad adoption of U-Infuse by ecological practitioners will improve ecological image analysis and processing by allowing significantly more image data to be processed with minimal expenditure of time and resources, particularly for camera trap images. Ease of training and use of transfer learning means domain-specific models can be trained rapidly, and frequently updated without the need for computer science expertise, or data sharing, protecting intellectual property and privacy.

Abstract Background/Introduction Predicting incident heart failure has been challenging. Deep learning models when applied to rich electronic health records (EHR) offer some theoretical advantages. However, empirical evidence for their superior performance is limited and they remain commonly uninterpretable, hampering their wider use in medical practice. Purpose We developed a deep learning framework for more accurate and yet interpretable prediction of incident heart failure. Methods We used longitudinally linked EHR from practices across England, involving 100,071 patients, 13% of whom had been diagnosed with incident heart failure during follow-up. We investigated the predictive performance of a novel transformer deep learning model, “Transformer for Heart Failure” (BEHRT-HF), and validated it using both an external held-out dataset and an internal five-fold cross-validation mechanism using area under receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) and area under the precision recall curve (AUPRC). Predictor groups included all outpatient and inpatient diagnoses within their temporal context, medications, age, and calendar year for each encounter. By treating diagnoses as anchors, we alternatively removed different modalities (ablation study) to understand the importance of individual modalities to the performance of incident heart failure prediction. Using perturbation-based techniques, we investigated the importance of associations between selected predictors and heart failure to improve model interpretability. Results BEHRT-HF achieved high accuracy with AUROC 0.932 and AUPRC 0.695 for external validation, and AUROC 0.933 (95% CI: 0.928, 0.938) and AUPRC 0.700 (95% CI: 0.682, 0.718) for internal validation. Compared to the state-of-the-art recurrent deep learning model, RETAIN-EX, BEHRT-HF outperformed it by 0.079 and 0.030 in terms of AUPRC and AUROC. Ablation study showed that medications were strong predictors, and calendar year was more important than age. Utilising perturbation, we identified and ranked the intensity of associations between diagnoses and heart failure. For instance, the method showed that established risk factors including myocardial infarction, atrial fibrillation and flutter, and hypertension all strongly associated with the heart failure prediction. Additionally, when population was stratified into different age groups, incident occurrence of a given disease had generally a higher contribution to heart failure prediction in younger ages than when diagnosed later in life. Conclusions Our state-of-the-art deep learning framework outperforms the predictive performance of existing models whilst enabling a data-driven way of exploring the relative contribution of a range of risk factors in the context of other temporal information.

In the last couple of years, advancements in the deep learning, especially in convolutional neural networks, proved to be a boon for the image classification and recognition tasks. One of the important practical applications of object detection and image classification can be for security enhancement. If dangerous objects or scenes can be identified automatically, then a lot of accidents can be prevented. For this purpose, in this paper we made use of state-of-the-art implementation of Faster Region-based Convolutional Neural Network (Faster R-CNN) based on the monitoring video of hoisting sites to train a model to detect the dangerous object and the worker. By extracting the locations of them, object-human interactions during hoisting, mainly for changes in their spatial location relationship, can be understood whereby estimating whether the scene is safe or dangerous. Experimental results showed that the pre-trained model achieved good performance with a high mean average precision of 97.66% on object detection and the proposed method fulfilled the goal of dangerous scenes recognition perfectly.

In any document, graphical elements like tables, figures, and formulas contain essential information. The processing and interpretation of such information require specialized algorithms. Off-the-shelf OCR components cannot process this information reliably. Therefore, an essential step in document analysis pipelines is to detect these graphical components. It leads to a high-level conceptual understanding of the documents that makes digitization of documents viable. Since the advent of deep learning, the performance of deep learning-based object detection has improved many folds. In this work, we outline and summarize the deep learning approaches for detecting graphical page objects in the document images. Therefore, we discuss the most relevant deep learning-based approaches and state-of-the-art graphical page object detection in document images. This work provides a comprehensive understanding of the current state-of-the-art and related challenges. Furthermore, we discuss leading datasets along with the quantitative evaluation. Moreover, it discusses briefly the promising directions that can be utilized for further improvements.

The computer-aided analysis of prostate multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) could improve significant-prostate-cancer (PCa) detection. Various deep-learning- and radiomics-based methods for significant-PCa segmentation or classification have been reported in the literature. To be able to assess the generalizability of the performance of these methods, using various external data sets is crucial. While both deep-learning and radiomics approaches have been compared based on the same data set of one center, the comparison of the performances of both approaches on various data sets from different centers and different scanners is lacking. The goal of this study was to compare the performance of a deep-learning model with the performance of a radiomics model for the significant-PCa diagnosis of the cohorts of various patients. We included the data from two consecutive patient cohorts from our own center (n = 371 patients), and two external sets of which one was a publicly available patient cohort (n = 195 patients) and the other contained data from patients from two hospitals (n = 79 patients). Using multiparametric MRI (mpMRI), the radiologist tumor delineations and pathology reports were collected for all patients. During training, one of our patient cohorts (n = 271 patients) was used for both the deep-learning- and radiomics-model development, and the three remaining cohorts (n = 374 patients) were kept as unseen test sets. The performances of the models were assessed in terms of their area under the receiver-operating-characteristic curve (AUC). Whereas the internal cross-validation showed a higher AUC for the deep-learning approach, the radiomics model obtained AUCs of 0.88, 0.91 and 0.65 on the independent test sets compared to AUCs of 0.70, 0.73 and 0.44 for the deep-learning model. Our radiomics model that was based on delineated regions resulted in a more accurate tool for significant-PCa classification in the three unseen test sets when compared to a fully automated deep-learning model.

Deep learning methods have led to a state of the art medical applications, such as image classification and segmentation. The data-driven deep learning application can help stakeholders to collaborate. However, limited labelled data set limits the deep learning algorithm to generalize for one domain into another. To handle the problem, meta-learning helps to learn from a small set of data. We proposed a meta learning-based image segmentation model that combines the learning of the state-of-the-art model and then used it to achieve domain adoption and high accuracy. Also, we proposed a prepossessing algorithm to increase the usability of the segments part and remove noise from the new test image. The proposed model can achieve 0.94 precision and 0.92 recall. The ability to increase 3.3% among the state-of-the-art algorithms.

Cardinality estimation is a fundamental and critical problem in databases. Recently, many estimators based on deep learning have been proposed to solve this problem and they have achieved promising results. However, these estimators struggle to provide accurate results for complex queries, due to not capturing real inter-column and inter-table correlations. Furthermore, none of these estimators contain the uncertainty information about their estimations. In this paper, we present a join cardinality estimator called Fauce. Fauce learns the correlations across all columns and all tables in the database. It also contains the uncertainty information of each estimation. Among all studied learned estimators, our results are promising: (1) Fauce is a light-weight estimator, it has 10× faster inference speed than the state of the art estimator; (2) Fauce is robust to the complex queries, it provides 1.3×--6.7× smaller estimation errors for complex queries compared with the state of the art estimator; (3) To the best of our knowledge, Fauce is the first estimator that incorporates uncertainty information for cardinality estimation into a deep learning model.
