Pneumonia is a common infection that inflames the air sacs in the lungs, causing symptoms such as difficulty breathing and fever. Although pneumonia is not difficult to treat, prompt diagnosis is crucial. Without proper treatment, pneumonia can be fatal, especially in children and the elderly. Chest x-rays are an affordable way to diagnose pneumonia. Investigating an algorithmic model that can reliably and intelligently classify pneumonia based on chest X-ray images could greatly reduce the burden on physicians. The advantages and disadvantages of each of the four convolutional neural networks VGG16, ResNet50, DenseNet201, and DWA algorithm models are analyzed and given by comparing and investigating each model. The VGG16, ResNet50, and DenseNet201 network models are compared with the DWA model. When training the depthwise separable convolution with attention neural network (DWA), the training accuracy reaches 97.5%. The validation accuracy was 79% due to the model’s tendency to overfit, and the test dataset had 1175 X-ray images with a test accuracy of 96.1%. The experimental results illustrate the effectiveness of the attention mechanism and the reliability of the deeply separable convolutional neural network algorithm. The successful application of the deep learning algorithm proposed in this paper on pneumonia recognition will provide an objective, accurate, and fast solution for medical practitioners and can provide a fast and accurate pneumonia diagnosis system for doctors.

In this study we apply back propagation Neural Network models to predict the daily Shanghai Stock Exchange Composite Index. The learning algorithm and gradient search technique are constructed in the models. We evaluate the prediction models and conclude that the Shanghai Stock Exchange Composite Index is predictable in the short term. Empirical study shows that the Neural Network models is successfully applied to predict the daily highest, lowest, and closing value of the Shanghai Stock Exchange Composite Index, but it can not predict the return rate of the Shanghai Stock Exchange Composite Index in short terms.

Abstract Since December 2019, the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic has caused world-wide turmoil in less than a couple of months, and the infection, caused by SARS-CoV-2, is spreading at an unprecedented rate. AI-driven tools are used to identify Coronavirus outbreaks as well as forecast their nature of spread, where imaging techniques are widely used, such as CT scans and chest X-rays (CXRs). In this paper, motivated by the fact that X-ray imaging systems are more prevalent and cheaper than CT scan systems, a deep learning-based Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model, which we call Truncated Inception Net, is proposed to screen COVID-19 positive CXRs from other non-COVID and/or healthy cases. To validate our proposal, six different types of datasets were employed by taking the following CXRs: COVID-19 positive, Pneumonia positive, Tuberculosis positive, and healthy cases into account. The proposed model achieved an accuracy of 99.96% (AUC of 1.0) in classifying COVID- 19 positive cases from combined Pneumonia and healthy cases. Similarly, it achieved an accuracy of 99.92% (AUC of 0.99) in classifying COVID-19 positive cases from combined Pneumonia, Tuberculosis and healthy CXRs. To the best of our knowledge, as of now, the achieved results outperform the existing AI-driven tools for screening COVID-19 using CXRs.

The use of chest X-ray images (CXI) to detect Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV-2) caused by Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is life-saving important for both patients and doctors. This research proposed a multi-channel feature deep neural network algorithm to screen people infected with COVID-19. The algorithm integrates data oversampling technology and a multi-channel feature deep neural network model to carry out the training process in an end-to-end manner. In the experiment, we used a publicly available CXI database with 10,192 Normal, 6012 Lung Opacity (Non-COVID lung infection), and 1345 Viral Pneumonia images. Compared with traditional deep learning models (Densenet201, ResNet50, VGG19, GoogLeNet), the MFDNN model obtains an average test accuracy of 93.19% in all data. Furthermore, in each type of screening, the precision, recall, and F1 Score of the MFDNN model are also better than traditional deep learning networks. Secondly, compared with the latest CoroDet model, the MFDNN algorithm is 1.91% higher than the CoroDet model in the experiment of detecting the four categories of COVID19 infected persons. Finally, our experimental code will be placed at https://github.com/panliangrui/covid19.

Background: Coronavirus (COVID-19) is a group of infectious diseases caused by related viruses called coronaviruses. In humans, the seriousness of infection caused by a coronavirus in the respiratory tract can vary from mild to lethal. A serious illness can be developed in old people and those with underlying medical problems like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and chronic respiratory disease. For the diagnosis of the coronavirus disease, due to the growing number of cases, a limited number of test kits for COVID-19 are available in the hospitals. Hence, it is important to implement an automated system as an immediate alternative diagnostic option to pause the spread of COVID-19 in the population. Objective: This paper proposes a deep learning model for classification of coronavirus infected patient detection using chest X-ray radiographs. Methods: A fully connected convolutional neural network model is developed to classify healthy and diseased X-ray radiographs. The proposed neural network model consists of seven convolutional layers with rectified linear unit, softmax (last layer) activation functions and max pooling layers which were trained using the publicly available COVID-19 dataset. Results and Conclusion: For validation of the proposed model, the publicly available chest X-ray radiograph dataset consisting COVID-19 and normal patient’s images were used. Considering the performance of the results that are evaluated based on various evaluation metrics such as precision, recall, MSE, RMSE & accuracy, it is seen that the accuracy of the proposed CNN model is 98.07%.

The disease caused by the new coronavirus (COVID-19) has been plaguing the world for months and the number of cases are growing more rapidly as the days go by. Therefore, finding a way to identify who has the causative virus is impressive, in order to find a way to stop its proliferation. In this paper, a complete and applied study of convolutional support machines will be presented to classify patients infected with COVID-19 using X-ray data and comparing them with traditional convolutional neural network (CNN). Based on the fitted models, it was possible to observe that the convolutional support vector machine with the polynomial kernel (CSVMPol) has a better predictive performance. In addition to the results obtained based on real images, the behavior of the models studied was observed through simulated images, where it was possible to observe the advantages of support vector machine (SVM) models.

This paper reviews various techniques to characterize material by interpreting load-displacement data from instrumented indentation tests. Scaling and dimensionless analysis was used to generalize the universal relationships between the characteristics of indentation curves and their material properties. The dimensionless functions were numerically calibrated via extensive finite element analysis. The interpretation of load-displacement curves from the established relationships was thus carried out by either solving higher order functions iteratively or employing neural networks. In this study, the advantages and disadvantages of these techniques are highlighted. Several issues in an instrumented indentation test such as friction, size effect and uniqueness of reverse analysis algorithms are discussed. In this study, a new reverse algorithm via neural network models to extract the mechanical properties by dual Berkovich and spherical indentation tests is introduced. The predicted material properties based on the proposed neural network models agree well with the numerical input data.

With the anatomical understanding of the neural connection of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans), its chemotaxis behaviors are investigated in this paper through the association with the biological nerve connections. The chemotaxis behaviors include food attraction, toxin avoidance and mixed-behaviors (finding food and avoiding toxin concurrently). Eight dynamic neural network (DNN) models, two artifical models and six biological models, are used to learn and implement the chemotaxis behaviors of C. elegans. The eight DNN models are classified into two classes with either single sensory neuron or dual sensory neurons. The DNN models are trained to learn certain switching logics according to different chemotaxis behaviors using real time recurrent learning algorithm (RTRL). First we show the good performance of the two artifical models in food attraction, toxin avoidance and the mixed-behaviors. Next, six neural wire diagrams from sensory neurons to motor neurons are extracted from the anatomical nerve connection of C. elegans. Then the extracted biological wire diagrams are trained using RTRL directly, which is the first time in this field of research by associating chemotaxis behaviors with biological neural models. An interesting discovery is the need for a memory neuron when single-sensory models are used, which is consistent with the anatomical understanding on a specific neuron that functions as a memory. In the simulations, the chemotaxis behaviors of C. elegans can be depicted by several switch logical functions which can be learned by RTRL for both artifical and biological models.

Abstract In recent years there multiple studies have been carried out on early diagnosis of scoliosis on school and preschool children. The diagnosis and evaluation of scoliosis is done by carrying out X-rays. A protocol is implemented for tracking the evolution of a scoliosis which involves both clinical control and imaging (X-ray) every 6 months, until the end of the growth period of the child. Because investigations such as X-ray and CT, can have harmful effects on the child's growing body (recent studies have shown that X-ray affects the skin, eyes, hematopoietic tissue, gonads and may cause cancer), new methods for diagnosing and tracking the evolution in time were researched. The present paper tries to present the current methods used in the diagnosis and assessment of scoliosis evolution in time, pointing out the main advantages and disadvantages of each method. There are a few methods developed in recent years in Germany by Zebris Medical Gmbh (using mapping with ultrasonic digital equipment), in Canada by InSpeck (using three-dimensional mapping through digital image acquisition) but used on a small scale. The newly developed methods have the advantage of being non-invasive, painless, non-irradiating and they can be used regardless of health status or gender. Although medical technology has developed very rapidly in recent years, radiology remains the most common method of investigation used for scoliosis. Certainly, in the near future the methods presented in this paper could be used more widely, for the benefits arising from their use.
