In recent years, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have shown promising performance in the field of multispectral (MS) and panchromatic (PAN) image fusion (MS pansharpening). However, the small-scale data and the gradient vanishing problem have been preventing the existing CNN-based fusion approaches from leveraging deeper networks that potentially have better representation ability to characterize the complex nonlinear mapping relationship between the input (source) and the targeting (fused) images. In this paper, we introduce a very deep network with dense blocks and residual learning to tackle these problems. The proposed network takes advantage of dense connections in dense blocks that have connections for arbitrarily two convolution layers to facilitate gradient flow and implicit deep supervision during training. In addition, reusing feature maps can reduce the number of parameters, which is helpful for reducing overfitting that resulted from small-scale data. Residual learning is explored to reduce the difficulty for the model to generate the MS image with high spatial resolution. The proposed network is evaluated via experiments on three datasets, achieving competitive or superior performance, e.g. the spectral angle mapper (SAM) is decreased over 10% on GaoFen-2, when compared with other state-of-the-art methods.

Background: Williams-Beuren syndrome (WBS) is a rare genetic syndrome with a characteristic “elfin” facial gestalt. The “elfin” facial characteristics include a broad forehead, periorbital puffiness, flat nasal bridge, short upturned nose, wide mouth, thick lips, and pointed chin. Recently, deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been successfully applied to facial recognition for diagnosing genetic syndromes. However, there is little research on WBS facial recognition using deep CNNs.Objective: The purpose of this study was to construct an automatic facial recognition model for WBS diagnosis based on deep CNNs.Methods: The study enrolled 104 WBS children, 91 cases with other genetic syndromes, and 145 healthy children. The photo dataset used only one frontal facial photo from each participant. Five face recognition frameworks for WBS were constructed by adopting the VGG-16, VGG-19, ResNet-18, ResNet-34, and MobileNet-V2 architectures, respectively. ImageNet transfer learning was used to avoid over-fitting. The classification performance of the facial recognition models was assessed by five-fold cross validation, and comparison with human experts was performed.Results: The five face recognition frameworks for WBS were constructed. The VGG-19 model achieved the best performance. The accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score, and area under curve (AUC) of the VGG-19 model were 92.7 ± 1.3%, 94.0 ± 5.6%, 81.7 ± 3.6%, 87.2 ± 2.0%, and 89.6 ± 1.3%, respectively. The highest accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score, and AUC of human experts were 82.1, 65.9, 85.6, 74.5, and 83.0%, respectively. The AUCs of each human expert were inferior to the AUCs of the VGG-16 (88.6 ± 3.5%), VGG-19 (89.6 ± 1.3%), ResNet-18 (83.6 ± 8.2%), and ResNet-34 (86.3 ± 4.9%) models.Conclusions: This study highlighted the possibility of using deep CNNs for diagnosing WBS in clinical practice. The facial recognition framework based on VGG-19 could play a prominent role in WBS diagnosis. Transfer learning technology can help to construct facial recognition models of genetic syndromes with small-scale datasets.

Bacterial recognition and classification play a vital role in diagnosing disease by determining the presence of large bacteria in the specimens and the symptoms. Artificial intelligence and computer vision widely applied in the medical domain enable improving accuracy and reducing the bacterial recognition and classification time, which aids in making clinical decisions and choosing the proper treatment. This paper aims to provide an approach of 33 bacteria strains’ automated classification from the Digital Images of Bacteria Species (DIBaS) dataset based on small-scale depthwise separable convolutional neural networks. Our five-layer architecture has significant advantages due to the compact model, low computational cost, and reliable recognition accuracy. The experimental results proved that the proposed design reached the highest accuracy of 96.28% with a total of 6600 images and can be executed on limited-resource devices of 3.23 million parameters and 40.02 million multiply–accumulate operations (MACs). The number of parameters in this architecture is seven times less than the smallest model listed in the literature.

Abstract Most of the recent successful object detection methods have been based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs). From previous studies, we learned that many feature reuse methods improve the network performance, but they increase the number of parameters. DenseNet uses thin layers that have fewer channels to alleviate the increase in parameters. This motivated us to find other methods for solving the increase in model size problems introduced by feature reuse methods. In this work, we employ different feature reuse methods on fire units and mobile units. We solved the problem and constructed two novel neural networks, fire-FRD-CNN and mobile-FRD-CNN. We conducted experiments with the proposed neural networks on KITTI and PASCAL VOC datasets.

Abstract Motivation The growing number of annotated biological sequences available makes it possible to learn genotype-phenotype relationships from data with increasingly high accuracy. When large quantities of labeled samples are available for training a model, convolutional neural networks can be used to predict the phenotype of unannotated sequences with good accuracy. Unfortunately, their performance with medium- or small-scale datasets is mitigated, which requires inventing new data-efficient approaches. Results We introduce a hybrid approach between convolutional neural networks and kernel methods to model biological sequences. Our method enjoys the ability of convolutional neural networks to learn data representations that are adapted to a specific task, while the kernel point of view yields algorithms that perform significantly better when the amount of training data is small. We illustrate these advantages for transcription factor binding prediction and protein homology detection, and we demonstrate that our model is also simple to interpret, which is crucial for discovering predictive motifs in sequences.
