Traditionally, the classification of seed defects mainly relies on the characteristics of color, shape, and texture. This method requires repeated extraction of a large amount of feature information, which is not efficiently used in detection. In recent years, deep learning has performed well in the field of image recognition. We introduced convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and transfer learning into the quality classification of seeds and compared them with traditional machine learning algorithms. Experiments showed that deep learning algorithm was significantly better than the machine learning algorithm with an accuracy of 95% (GoogLeNet) vs. 79.2% (SURF+SVM). We used three classifiers in GoogLeNet to demonstrate that network accuracy increases as the depth of the network increases. We used the visualization technology to obtain the feature map of each layer of the network in CNNs and used the heat map to represent the probability distribution of the inference results. As an end-to-end network, CNNs can be easily applied for automated seed manufacturing.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a rising infrastructure of 21st century. The classification of traffic over IoT networks is attained significance importance due to rapid growth of users and devices. It is need of the hour to isolate the normal traffic from the malicious traffic and to assign the normal traffic to the proper destination to suffice the QoS requirements of the IoT users. Detection of malicious traffic can be done by continuously monitoring traffic for suspicious links, files, connection created and received, unrecognised protocol/port numbers, and suspicious Destination/Source IP combinations. A proficient classification mechanism in IoT environment should be capable enough to classify the heavy traffic in a fast manner, to deflect the malevolent traffic on time and to transmit the benign traffic to the designated nodes for serving the needs of the users. In this work, adaboost and Xgboost machine learning algorithms and Deep Neural Networks approach are proposed to separate the IoT traffic which eventually enhances the throughput of IoT networks and reduces the congestion over IoT channels. The result of experiment indicates a deep learning algorithm achieves higher accuracy compared to machine learning algorithms.

AbstractAs a novel type of post-translational modification, lysine 2-Hydroxyisobutyrylation (Khib) plays an important role in gene transcription and signal transduction. In order to understand its regulatory mechanism, the essential step is the recognition of Khib sites. Thousands of Khib sites have been experimentally verified across five different species. However, there are only a couple traditional machine-learning algorithms developed to predict Khib sites for limited species, lacking a general prediction algorithm. We constructed a deep-learning algorithm based on convolutional neural network with the one-hot encoding approach, dubbed CNNOH. It performs favorably to the traditional machine-learning models and other deep-learning models across different species, in terms of cross-validation and independent test. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) values for CNNOH ranged from 0.82 to 0.87 for different organisms, which is superior to the currently-available Khib predictors. Moreover, we developed the general model based on the integrated data from multiple species and it showed great universality and effectiveness with the AUC values in the range of 0.79 to 0.87. Accordingly, we constructed the on-line prediction tool dubbed DeepKhib for easily identifying Khib sites, which includes both species-specific and general models. DeepKhib is available at http://www.bioinfogo.org/DeepKhib.

Purpose: The number of patients with alcohol-related problems is steadily increasing. A large-scale survey of alcohol-related problems has been conducted. However, studies that predict hazardous drinkers and identify which factors contribute to the prediction are limited. Thus, the purpose of this study was to predict hazardous drinkers and the severity of alcohol-related problems of patients using a deep learning algorithm based on a large-scale survey data.Materials and Methods: Datasets of National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey of South Korea (K-NHANES), a nationally representative survey for the entire South Korean population, were used to train deep learning and conventional machine learning algorithms. Datasets from 69,187 and 45,672 participants were used to predict hazardous drinkers and the severity of alcohol-related problems, respectively. Based on the degree of contribution of each variable to deep learning, it was possible to determine which variable contributed significantly to the prediction of hazardous drinkers.Results: Deep learning showed the higher performance than conventional machine learning algorithms. It predicted hazardous drinkers with an AUC (Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve) of 0.870 (Logistic regression: 0.858, Linear SVM: 0.849, Random forest classifier: 0.810, K-nearest neighbors: 0.740). Among 325 variables for predicting hazardous drinkers, energy intake was a factor showing the greatest contribution to the prediction, followed by carbohydrate intake. Participants were classified into Zone I, Zone II, Zone III, and Zone IV based on the degree of alcohol-related problems, showing AUCs of 0.881, 0.774, 0.853, and 0.879, respectively.Conclusion: Hazardous drinking groups could be effectively predicted and individuals could be classified according to the degree of alcohol-related problems using a deep learning algorithm. This algorithm could be used to screen people who need treatment for alcohol-related problems among the general population or hospital visitors.

AbstractCervical cancer is the second most common cancer in women worldwide with a mortality rate of 60%. Cervical cancer begins with no overt signs and has a long latent period, making early detection through regular checkups vitally immportant. In this study, we compare the performance of two different models, machine learning and deep learning, for the purpose of identifying signs of cervical cancer using cervicography images. Using the deep learning model ResNet-50 and the machine learning models XGB, SVM, and RF, we classified 4119 Cervicography images as positive or negative for cervical cancer using square images in which the vaginal wall regions were removed. The machine learning models extracted 10 major features from a total of 300 features. All tests were validated by fivefold cross-validation and receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analysis yielded the following AUCs: ResNet-50 0.97(CI 95% 0.949–0.976), XGB 0.82(CI 95% 0.797–0.851), SVM 0.84(CI 95% 0.801–0.854), RF 0.79(CI 95% 0.804–0.856). The ResNet-50 model showed a 0.15 point improvement (p < 0.05) over the average (0.82) of the three machine learning methods. Our data suggest that the ResNet-50 deep learning algorithm could offer greater performance than current machine learning models for the purpose of identifying cervical cancer using cervicography images.

The research aims to evaluate the impact of race in facial recognition across two types of algorithms. We give a general insight into facial recognition and discuss four problems related to facial recognition. We review our system design, development, and architectures and give an in-depth evaluation plan for each type of algorithm, dataset, and a look into the software and its architecture. We thoroughly explain the results and findings of our experimentation and provide analysis for the machine learning algorithms and deep learning algorithms. Concluding the investigation, we compare the results of two kinds of algorithms and compare their accuracy, metrics, miss rates, and performances to observe which algorithms mitigate racial bias the most. We evaluate racial bias across five machine learning algorithms and three deep learning algorithms using racially imbalanced and balanced datasets. We evaluate and compare the accuracy and miss rates between all tested algorithms and report that SVC is the superior machine learning algorithm and VGG16 is the best deep learning algorithm based on our experimental study. Our findings conclude the algorithm that mitigates the bias the most is VGG16, and all our deep learning algorithms outperformed their machine learning counterparts.

The categorisation of desmoplastic reaction (DR) present at the colorectal cancer (CRC) invasive front into mature, intermediate or immature type has been previously shown to have high prognostic significance. However, the lack of an objective and reproducible assessment methodology for the assessment of DR has been a major hurdle to its clinical translation. In this study, a deep learning algorithm was trained to automatically classify immature DR on haematoxylin and eosin digitised slides of stage II and III CRC cases (n = 41). When assessing the classifier’s performance on a test set of patient samples (n = 40), a Dice score of 0.87 for the segmentation of myxoid stroma was reported. The classifier was then applied to the full cohort of 528 stage II and III CRC cases, which was then divided into a training (n = 396) and a test set (n = 132). Automatically classed DR was shown to have superior prognostic significance over the manually classed DR in both the training and test cohorts. The findings demonstrated that deep learning algorithms could be applied to assist pathologists in the detection and classification of DR in CRC in an objective, standardised and reproducible manner.
