Abstract Objectives Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common disease and it is related to a higher risk of cardiovascular disease and end-stage renal disease that can be prevented by the earlier recognition and diagnosis of individuals at risk. Even though risk factors for CKD have been recognized, the effectiveness of CKD risk classification via prediction models remains uncertain. This paper intends to introduce a new predictive model for CKD using US image. Methods The proposed model includes three main phases “(1) preprocessing, (2) feature extraction, (3) and classification.” In the first phase, the input image is subjected to preprocessing, which deploys image inpainting and median filtering processes. After preprocessing, feature extraction takes place under four cases; (a) texture analysis to detect the characteristics of texture, (b) proposed high-level feature enabled local binary pattern (LBP) extraction, (c) area based feature extraction, and (d) mean intensity based feature extraction. These extracted features are then subjected for classification, where “optimized deep convolutional neural network (DCNN)” is used. In order to make the prediction more accurate, the weight and the activation function of DCNN are optimally chosen by a new hybrid model termed as diversity maintained hybrid whale moth flame optimization (DM-HWM) model. Results The accuracy of adopted model at 40th training percentage was 44.72, 11.02, 5.59, 3.92, 3.92, 3.57, 2.59, 1.71, 1.68, and 0.42% superior to traditional artificial neural networks (ANN), support vector machine (SVM), NB, J48, NB-tree, LR, composite hypercube on iterated random projection (CHIRP), CNN, moth flame optimization (MFO), and whale optimization algorithm (WOA) models. Conclusions Finally, the superiority of the adopted scheme is validated over other conventional models in terms of various measures.

This paper proposes a Wi-Fi-based indoor human detection system using a deep convolutional neural network. The system detects different human states in various situations, including different environments and propagation paths. The main improvements proposed by the system is that there is no cameras overhead and no sensors are mounted. This system captures useful amplitude information from the channel state information and converts this information into an image-like two-dimensional matrix. Next, the two-dimensional matrix is used as an input to a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) to distinguish human states. In this work, a deep residual network (ResNet) architecture is used to perform human state classification with hierarchical topological feature extraction. Several combinations of datasets for different environments and propagation paths are used in this study. ResNet’s powerful inference simplifies feature extraction and improves the accuracy of human state classification. The experimental results show that the fine-tuned ResNet-18 model has good performance in indoor human detection, including people not present, people still, and people moving. Compared with traditional machine learning using handcrafted features, this method is simple and effective.

Nowadays, analysis on retinal image exists as one of the challenging area for study. Numerous retinal diseases could be recognized by analyzing the variations taking place in retina. However, the main disadvantage among those studies is that, they do not have higher recognition accuracy. The proposed framework includes four phases namely, (i) Blood Vessel Segmentation (ii) Feature Extraction (iii) Optimal Feature Selection and (iv) Classification. Initially, the input fundus image is subjected to blood vessel segmentation from which two binary thresholded images (one from High Pass Filter (HPF) and other from top-hat reconstruction) are acquired. These two images are differentiated and the areas that are common to both are said to be the major vessels and the left over regions are fused to form vessel sub-image. These vessel sub-images are classified with Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) classifier and the resultant is summed up with the major vessels to form the segmented blood vessels. The segmented images are subjected to feature extraction process, where the features like proposed Local Binary Pattern (LBP), Gray-Level Co-Occurrence Matrix (GLCM) and Gray Level Run Length Matrix (GLRM) are extracted. As the curse of dimensionality seems to be the greatest issue, it is important to select the appropriate features from the extracted one for classification. In this paper, a new improved optimization algorithm Moth Flame with New Distance Formulation (MF-NDF) is introduced for selecting the optimal features. Finally, the selected optimal features are subjected to Deep Convolutional Neural Network (DCNN) model for classification. Further, in order to make the precise diagnosis, the weights of DCNN are optimally tuned by the same optimization algorithm. The performance of the proposed algorithm will be compared against the conventional algorithms in terms of positive and negative measures.

Neonatal infants communicate with us through cries. The infant cry signals have distinct patterns depending on the purpose of the cries. Preprocessing, feature extraction, and feature selection need expert attention and take much effort in audio signals in recent days. In deep learning techniques, it automatically extracts and selects the most important features. For this, it requires an enormous amount of data for effective classification. This work mainly discriminates the neonatal cries into pain, hunger, and sleepiness. The neonatal cry auditory signals are transformed into a spectrogram image by utilizing the short-time Fourier transform (STFT) technique. The deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) technique takes the spectrogram images for input. The features are obtained from the convolutional neural network and are passed to the support vector machine (SVM) classifier. Machine learning technique classifies neonatal cries. This work combines the advantages of machine learning and deep learning techniques to get the best results even with a moderate number of data samples. The experimental result shows that CNN-based feature extraction and SVM classifier provides promising results. While comparing the SVM-based kernel techniques, namely radial basis function (RBF), linear and polynomial, it is found that SVM-RBF provides the highest accuracy of kernel-based infant cry classification system provides 88.89% accuracy.

Persian handwritten digit recognition is one of the important topics of image processing which significantly considered by researchers due to its many applications. The most important challenges in Persian handwritten digit recognition is the existence of various patterns in Persian digit writing that makes the feature extraction step to be more complicated.Since the handcraft feature extraction methods are complicated processes and their performance level are not stable, most of the recent studies have concentrated on proposing a suitable method for automatic feature extraction. In this paper, an automatic method based on machine learning is proposed for high-level feature extraction from Persian digit images by using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). After that, a non-linear multi-class Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier is used for data classification instead of fully connected layer in final layer of CNN. The proposed method has been applied to HODA dataset and obtained 99.56% of recognition rate. Experimental results are comparable with previous state-of-the-art methods

Among the currently proposed brain segmentation methods, brain tumor segmentation methods based on traditional image processing and machine learning are not ideal enough. Therefore, deep learning-based brain segmentation methods are widely used. In the brain tumor segmentation method based on deep learning, the convolutional network model has a good brain segmentation effect. The deep convolutional network model has the problems of a large number of parameters and large loss of information in the encoding and decoding process. This paper proposes a deep convolutional neural network fusion support vector machine algorithm (DCNN-F-SVM). The proposed brain tumor segmentation model is mainly divided into three stages. In the first stage, a deep convolutional neural network is trained to learn the mapping from image space to tumor marker space. In the second stage, the predicted labels obtained from the deep convolutional neural network training are input into the integrated support vector machine classifier together with the test images. In the third stage, a deep convolutional neural network and an integrated support vector machine are connected in series to train a deep classifier. Run each model on the BraTS dataset and the self-made dataset to segment brain tumors. The segmentation results show that the performance of the proposed model is significantly better than the deep convolutional neural network and the integrated SVM classifier.

Speech emotion recognition (SER) plays a significant role in human–machine interaction. Emotion recognition from speech and its precise classification is a challenging task because a machine is unable to understand its context. For an accurate emotion classification, emotionally relevant features must be extracted from the speech data. Traditionally, handcrafted features were used for emotional classification from speech signals; however, they are not efficient enough to accurately depict the emotional states of the speaker. In this study, the benefits of a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) for SER are explored. For this purpose, a pretrained network is used to extract features from state-of-the-art speech emotional datasets. Subsequently, a correlation-based feature selection technique is applied to the extracted features to select the most appropriate and discriminative features for SER. For the classification of emotions, we utilize support vector machines, random forests, the k-nearest neighbors algorithm, and neural network classifiers. Experiments are performed for speaker-dependent and speaker-independent SER using four publicly available datasets: the Berlin Dataset of Emotional Speech (Emo-DB), Surrey Audio Visual Expressed Emotion (SAVEE), Interactive Emotional Dyadic Motion Capture (IEMOCAP), and the Ryerson Audio Visual Dataset of Emotional Speech and Song (RAVDESS). Our proposed method achieves an accuracy of 95.10% for Emo-DB, 82.10% for SAVEE, 83.80% for IEMOCAP, and 81.30% for RAVDESS, for speaker-dependent SER experiments. Moreover, our method yields the best results for speaker-independent SER with existing handcrafted features-based SER approaches.

AbstractIn this paper, we presented a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) approach for forehead tissue thickness estimation. We use down sampled NIR laser backscattering images acquired from a novel marker-less near-infrared laser-based head tracking system, combined with the beam’s incident angle parameter. These two-channel augmented images were constructed for the CNN input, while a single node output layer represents the estimated value of the forehead tissue thickness. The models were – separately for each subject – trained and tested on datasets acquired from 30 subjects (high resolution MRI data is used as ground truth). To speed up training, we used a pre-trained network from the first subject to bootstrap training for each of the other subjects. We could show a clear improvement for the tissue thickness estimation (mean RMSE of 0.096 mm). This proposed CNN model outperformed previous support vector regression (mean RMSE of 0.155 mm) or Gaussian processes learning approaches (mean RMSE of 0.114 mm) and eliminated their restrictions for future research.

Background. The availability of large databases containing high resolution three-dimensional (3D) models of proteins in conjunction with functional annotation allows the exploitation of advanced supervised machine learning techniques for automatic protein function prediction. Methods. In this work, novel shape features are extracted representing protein structure in the form of local (per amino acid) distribution of angles and amino acid distances, respectively. Each of the multi-channel feature maps is introduced into a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) for function prediction and the outputs are fused through Support Vector Machines (SVM) or a correlation-based k-nearest neighbor classifier. Two different architectures are investigated employing either one CNN per multi-channel feature set, or one CNN per image channel. Results. Cross validation experiments on enzymes (n = 44,661) from the PDB database achieved 90.1% correct classification demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed method for automatic function annotation of protein structures. Discussion. The automatic prediction of protein function can provide quick annotations on extensive datasets opening the path for relevant applications, such as pharmacological target identification.
