Nuclear morphological features are potent determining factors for clinical diagnostic approaches adopted by pathologists to analyze the malignant potential of cancer cells. Considering the structural alteration of the nucleus in cancer cells, various groups have developed machine learning techniques based on variation in nuclear morphometric information like nuclear shape, size, nucleus-cytoplasm ratio and various non-parametric methods like deep learning have also been tested for analyzing immunohistochemistry images of tissue samples for diagnosing various cancers. We aim to correlate the morphometric features of the nucleus along with the distribution of nuclear lamin proteins with classical machine learning to differentiate between normal and ovarian cancer tissues. It has already been elucidated that in ovarian cancer, the extent of alteration in nuclear shape and morphology can modulate genetic changes and thus can be utilized to predict the outcome of low to a high form of serous carcinoma. In this work, we have performed exhaustive imaging of ovarian cancer versus normal tissue and developed a dual pipeline architecture that combines the matrices of morphometric parameters with deep learning techniques of auto feature extraction from pre-processed images. This novel Deep Hybrid Learning model, though derived from classical machine learning algorithms and standard CNN, showed a training and validation AUC score of 0.99 whereas the test AUC score turned out to be 1.00. The improved feature engineering enabled us to differentiate between cancerous and non-cancerous samples successfully from this pilot study.

Abstract Nuclear morphological features are potent determining factors for clinical diagnostic approaches adopted by pathologists to analyse the malignant potential of cancer cells. Considering the structural alteration of nucleus in cancer cells, various groups have developed machine learning techniques based on variation in nuclear morphometric information like nuclear shape, size, nucleus-cytoplasm ratio and various non-parametric methods like deep learning have also been tested for analysing immunohistochemistry images of tissue samples for diagnosing various cancers. Our aim is to study the morphometric distribution of nuclear lamin proteins as a specific parameter in ovarian cancer tissues. Besides being the principal mechanical component of the nucleus, lamins also present a platform for binding of proteins and chromatin thereby serving a wide range of nuclear functions like maintenance of genome stability, chromatin regulation. Altered expression of lamins in different subtypes of cancer is now evident from data across the world. It has already been elucidated that in ovarian cancer, extent of alteration in nuclear shape and morphology can determine degree of genetic changes and thus can be utilized to predict the outcome of low to high form of serous carcinoma. In this work, we have performed exhaustive imaging of ovarian cancer versus normal tissue and introduced a novel Deep Hybrid Learning approach on the basis of the distribution of lamin proteins. Although developed with ovarian cancer datasets in view, this architecture would be of immense importance in accurate and fast diagnosis and prognosis of all types of cancer associated with lamin induced morphological changes and would perform across small/medium to large datasets with equal efficiency.

AbstractHuman activity recognition (HAR) is a line of research whose goal is to design and develop automatic techniques for recognizing activities of daily living (ADLs) using signals from sensors. HAR is an active research filed in response to the ever-increasing need to collect information remotely related to ADLs for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Traditionally, HAR used environmental or wearable sensors to acquire signals and relied on traditional machine-learning techniques to classify ADLs. In recent years, HAR is moving towards the use of both wearable devices (such as smartphones or fitness trackers, since they are daily used by people and they include reliable inertial sensors), and deep learning techniques (given the encouraging results obtained in the area of computer vision). One of the major challenges related to HAR is population diversity, which makes difficult traditional machine-learning algorithms to generalize. Recently, researchers successfully attempted to address the problem by proposing techniques based on personalization combined with traditional machine learning. To date, no effort has been directed at investigating the benefits that personalization can bring in deep learning techniques in the HAR domain. The goal of our research is to verify if personalization applied to both traditional and deep learning techniques can lead to better performance than classical approaches (i.e., without personalization). The experiments were conducted on three datasets that are extensively used in the literature and that contain metadata related to the subjects. AdaBoost is the technique chosen for traditional machine learning, while convolutional neural network is the one chosen for deep learning. These techniques have shown to offer good performance. Personalization considers both the physical characteristics of the subjects and the inertial signals generated by the subjects. Results suggest that personalization is most effective when applied to traditional machine-learning techniques rather than to deep learning ones. Moreover, results show that deep learning without personalization performs better than any other methods experimented in the paper in those cases where the number of training samples is high and samples are heterogeneous (i.e., they represent a wider spectrum of the population). This suggests that traditional deep learning can be more effective, provided you have a large and heterogeneous dataset, intrinsically modeling the population diversity in the training process.

Osteoarthritis is mainly a familiar kind of arthritis when an elastic tissue named Cartilage that softens the tops of the bones, cracks down. The Person with osteoarthritis can encompass joint pain, inflexibility, or inflammation and there is no particular examination for osteoarthritis and physicians take the amalgamation of both medical cum clinical record and X-rays imaging analysis to make a diagnosis of the state. Osteoarthritis is generally only detected following ache and bone scratch and in advance, analysis could permit for ultimate involvement to avoid cartilage worsening and bone injury. Through machine-learning algorithms, the system can be trained to automatically distinguish among people who would develop osteoarthritis and persons who would not with the detection of exact biochemical variances in the midpoint of the knee’s cartilage. The outcome of the Machine learning Techniques will give the persons who are pre-symptomatic by the occasion of the baseline imaging and also the reduction in liquid concentration. In this study, we present the analysis of various deep learning techniques for timely detection of osteoarthritis disease. Several subsets of machine learning called deep learning techniques have been in use for the timely detection of osteoarthritis disease; and therefore analysis is needed highly to choose the best as far as accuracy and reliability are concerned.

Machine learning can be defined as the ability of a computer to learn and solve a problem without being explicitly coded. The efficiency of the program increases with experience through the task specified. In traditional programming, the program and the input are specified to get the output, but in the case of machine learning, the targets and predictors are provided to the algorithm make the process trained. This chapter focuses on various machine learning techniques and their performance with commonly used datasets. A supervised learning algorithm consists of a target variable that is to be predicted from a given set of predictors. Using these established targets is a function that plots targets to a given set of predictors. The training process allows the system to train the unknown data and continues until the model achieves a desired level of accuracy on the training data. The supervised methods can be usually categorized as classification and regression. This chapter discourses some of the popular supervised machine learning algorithms and their performances using quotidian datasets. This chapter also discusses some of the non-linear regression techniques and some insights on deep learning with respect to object recognition.

Malaria is a contagious disease that affects millions of lives every year. Traditional diagnosis of malaria in laboratory requires an experienced person and careful inspection to discriminate healthy and infected red blood cells (RBCs). It is also very time-consuming and may produce inaccurate reports due to human errors. Cognitive computing and deep learning algorithms simulate human intelligence to make better human decisions in applications like sentiment analysis, speech recognition, face detection, disease detection, and prediction. Due to the advancement of cognitive computing and machine learning techniques, they are now widely used to detect and predict early disease symptoms in healthcare field. With the early prediction results, healthcare professionals can provide better decisions for patient diagnosis and treatment. Machine learning algorithms also aid the humans to process huge and complex medical datasets and then analyze them into clinical insights. This paper looks for leveraging deep learning algorithms for detecting a deadly disease, malaria, for mobile healthcare solution of patients building an effective mobile system. The objective of this paper is to show how deep learning architecture such as convolutional neural network (CNN) which can be useful in real-time malaria detection effectively and accurately from input images and to reduce manual labor with a mobile application. To this end, we evaluate the performance of a custom CNN model using a cyclical stochastic gradient descent (SGD) optimizer with an automatic learning rate finder and obtain an accuracy of 97.30% in classifying healthy and infected cell images with a high degree of precision and sensitivity. This outcome of the paper will facilitate microscopy diagnosis of malaria to a mobile application so that reliability of the treatment and lack of medical expertise can be solved.

For decades, machine learning techniques have been used to process Amharic texts. The potential application of deep learning on Amharic document classification has not been exploited due to a lack of language resources. In this paper, we present a deep learning model for Amharic news document classification. The proposed model uses fastText to generate text vectors to represent semantic meaning of texts and solve the problem of traditional methods. The text vectors matrix is then fed into the embedding layer of a convolutional neural network (CNN), which automatically extracts features. We conduct experiments on a data set with six news categories, and our approach produced a classification accuracy of 93.79%. We compared our method to well-known machine learning algorithms such as support vector machine (SVM), multilayer perceptron (MLP), decision tree (DT), XGBoost (XGB), and random forest (RF) and achieved good results.

Ovarian cancer cells can be easily distinguished from their enlarged nuclear morphology as is evident from lamin A & B distribution pattern. This is the first report to invoke specific nuclear markers like lamin A & B instead of classical haematoxylin-eosin staining in an effort to build parametric datasets. Our approach has been shown to outperform the existing deep learning techniques in training and validation of datasets over a wide range. Therefore this method could be used as a robust model to predict malignant transformations of benign nuclei and thus be implemented in the diagnosis and prognosis of ovarian cancer in future. Most importantly, this method can be perceived as a generalized approach in the diagnosis for all types of cancer.
