When either detection rate (sensitivity) or false alarm rate (specificity) is optimized in an artificial neural network trained to identify myocardial infarction, the increase in the accuracy of one is always done at the expense of the accuracy of the other. To overcome this loss, two networks that were separately trained on populations of patients with different likelihoods of myocardial infarction were used in concert. One network was trained on clinical pattern sets derived from patients who had a low likelihood of myocardial infarction, while the other was trained on pattern sets derived from patients with a high likelihood of myocardial infarction. Unknown patterns were analyzed by both networks. If the output generated by the network trained on the low risk patients was below an empirically set threshold, this output was chosen as the diagnostic output. If the output was above that threshold, the output of the network trained on the high risk patients was used as the diagnostic output. The dual network correctly identified 39 of the 40 patients who had sustained a myocardial infarction and 301 of 306 patients who did not have a myocardial infarction for a detection rate (sensitivity) and false alarm rate (1-specificity) of 97.50 and 1.63%, respectively. A parallel control experiment using a single network but identical training information correctly identified 39 of 40 patients who had sustained a myocardial infarction and 287 of 306 patients who had not sustained a myocardial infarction (p = 0.003).

AbstractInfrared small target detection has been a challenging task due to the weak radiation intensity of targets and the complexity of the background. Traditional methods using hand-designed features are usually effective for specific background and have the problems of low detection rate and high false alarm rate in complex infrared scene. In order to fully exploit the features of infrared image, this paper proposes an infrared small target detection method based on region proposal and convolution neural network. Firstly, the small target intensity is enhanced according to the local intensity characteristics. Then, potential target regions are proposed by corner detection to ensure high detection rate of the method. Finally, the potential target regions are fed into the classifier based on convolutional neural network to eliminate the non-target regions, which can effectively suppress the complex background clutter. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed method can effectively reduce the false alarm rate, and outperform other state-of-the-art methods in terms of subjective visual impression and quantitative evaluation metrics.

Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) is one of the important aspects of cyber security that can detect the anomalies in the network traffic. IDS are a part of Second defense line of a system that can be deployed along with other security measures such as access control, authentication mechanisms and encryption techniques to secure the systems against cyber-attacks. However, IDS suffers from the problem of handling large volume of data and in detecting zero-day attacks (new types of attacks) in a real-time traffic environment. To overcome this problem, an intelligent Deep Learning approach for Intrusion Detection is proposed based on Convolutional Neural Network (CNN-IDS). Initially, the model is trained and tested under a new real-time traffic dataset, CSE-CIC-IDS 2018 dataset. Then, the performance of CNN-IDS model is studied based on three important performance metrics namely, accuracy / training time, detection rate and false alarm rate. Finally, the experimental results are compared with those of various Deep Discriminative models including Recurrent Neural network (RNN), Deep Neural Network (DNN) etc., proposed for IDS under the same dataset. The Comparative results show that the proposed CNN-IDS model is very much suitable for modelling a classification model both in terms of binary and multi-class classification with higher detection rate, accuracy, and lower false alarm rate. The CNN-IDS model improves the accuracy of intrusion detection and provides a new research method for intrusion detection.

A nonlinear artificial neural network trained by backpropagation was applied to the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (coronary occlusion) in patients presenting to the emergency department with acute anterior chest pain. Three-hundred and fifty-six patients were retrospectively studied, of which 236 did not have acute myocardial infarction and 120 did have infarction. The network was trained on a randomly chosen set of half of the patients who had not sustained acute myocardial infarction and half of the patients who had sustained infarction. It was then tested on a set consisting of the remaining patients to which it had not been exposed. The network correctly identified 92% of the patients with acute myocardial infarction and 96% of the patients without infarction. When all patients with the electrocardiographic evidence of infarction were removed from the cohort, the network correctly identified 80% of the patients with infarction. This is substantially better than the performance reported for either physicians or any other analytical approach.

Abstract Research scientists have been developing mathematical tools to detect objects, recognize objects and actions, and discover behaviours and events to human abilities. In all these efforts, the understanding of human actions is of a special interest for both application and research purposes. In this study, crowd flow parameters are analysed by considering linear and non linear relationships between stream flow parameters using conventional and soft computing approach. Deterministics models like Greenshield and Underwood were applied in the study to describe flow characteristics. A non-linear model based on Artificial Neural Network (ANN) approach is also used to build a relationship between different crowd flow parameters and compared with the other deterministic models. ANN model gave good results based on accuracy measurement to deterministic models because of their self-processing and intelligent behaviour. Mean absolute error (MAE) and root mean square error (RMSE) values for the best fitted ANN model are less than those for the other models. ANN model gives better performance in fitness of model and future prediction of flow parameters.

The OSPF cost is proportionally indicated the transmitting packet overhead through a certain interface and inversely proportional to the interface bandwidth. Thus, this cost may minimized by direct packet transmitting to the other side via various probable paths simultaneously. Logically, the minimum weight path is the optimum path. This paper propose a novel Fuzzy Artificial Neural Network to create Smart Routing Protocol Algorithm. Consequently, the Fuzzy Artificial Neural Network Overlap has been reduced from (0.883 ms) to (0.602 ms) at fuzzy membership 1.5 to 4.5 respectively. This indicated the transmission time is two-fold faster than the standard overlapping time (1.3 ms).
