Abstract In recent years, deep neural networks have been applied to obtain high performance of prediction, classification, and pattern recognition. However, the weights in these deep neural networks are difficult to be explained. Although a linear regression method can provide explainable results, the method is not suitable in the case of input interaction. Therefore, an explainable deep neural network (ExpDNN) with explainable layers is proposed to obtain explainable results in the case of input interaction. Three cases were given to evaluate the proposed ExpDNN, and the results showed that the absolute value of weight in an explainable layer can be used to explain the weight of corresponding input for feature extraction.

Deep neural networks have been shown to outperform conventionalstate-of-the-art approaches in several structured predictionapplications. While high-performance computing devices such asGPUs has made developing very powerful deep neural networkspossible, it is not feasible to run these networks on low-cost, lowpowercomputing devices such as embedded CPUs or even embeddedGPUs. As such, there has been a lot of recent interestto produce efficient deep neural network architectures that can berun on small computing devices. Motivated by this, the idea ofStochasticNets was introduced, where deep neural networks areformed by leveraging random graph theory. It has been shownthat StochasticNet can form new networks with 2X or 3X architecturalefficiency while maintaining modeling accuracy. Motivated bythese promising results, here we investigate the idea of Stochastic-Net in StochasticNet (SiS), where highly-efficient deep neural networkswith Network in Network (NiN) architectures are formed ina stochastic manner. Such networks have an intertwining structurecomposed of convolutional layers and micro neural networksto boost the modeling accuracy. The experimental results showthat SiS can form deep neural networks with NiN architectures thathave 4X greater architectural efficiency with only a 2% dropin accuracy for the CIFAR10 dataset. The results are even morepromising for the SVHN dataset, where SiS formed deep neuralnetworks with NiN architectures that have 11.5X greater architecturalefficiency with only a 1% decrease in modeling accuracy.

AbstractDeep neural networks are among the most widely applied machine learning tools showing outstanding performance in a broad range of tasks. We present a method for folding a deep neural network of arbitrary size into a single neuron with multiple time-delayed feedback loops. This single-neuron deep neural network comprises only a single nonlinearity and appropriately adjusted modulations of the feedback signals. The network states emerge in time as a temporal unfolding of the neuron’s dynamics. By adjusting the feedback-modulation within the loops, we adapt the network’s connection weights. These connection weights are determined via a back-propagation algorithm, where both the delay-induced and local network connections must be taken into account. Our approach can fully represent standard Deep Neural Networks (DNN), encompasses sparse DNNs, and extends the DNN concept toward dynamical systems implementations. The new method, which we call Folded-in-time DNN (Fit-DNN), exhibits promising performance in a set of benchmark tasks.

BACKGROUND: The distribution of pulmonary vessels in computed tomography (CT) and computed tomography angiography (CTA) images of lung is important for diagnosing disease, formulating surgical plans and pulmonary research. PURPOSE: Based on the pulmonary vascular segmentation task of International Symposium on Image Computing and Digital Medicine 2020 challenge, this paper reviews 12 different pulmonary vascular segmentation algorithms of lung CT and CTA images and then objectively evaluates and compares their performances. METHODS: First, we present the annotated reference dataset of lung CT and CTA images. A subset of the dataset consisting 7,307 slices for training and 3,888 slices for testing was made available for participants. Second, by analyzing the performance comparison of different convolutional neural networks from 12 different institutions for pulmonary vascular segmentation, the reasons for some defects and improvements are summarized. The models are mainly based on U-Net, Attention, GAN, and multi-scale fusion network. The performance is measured in terms of Dice coefficient, over segmentation ratio and under segmentation rate. Finally, we discuss several proposed methods to improve the pulmonary vessel segmentation results using deep neural networks. RESULTS: By comparing with the annotated ground truth from both lung CT and CTA images, most of 12 deep neural network algorithms do an admirable job in pulmonary vascular extraction and segmentation with the dice coefficients ranging from 0.70 to 0.85. The dice coefficients for the top three algorithms are about 0.80. CONCLUSIONS: Study results show that integrating methods that consider spatial information, fuse multi-scale feature map, or have an excellent post-processing to deep neural network training and optimization process are significant for further improving the accuracy of pulmonary vascular segmentation.

We discuss effective pattern recognition for contour images by hierarchical feature extraction. When pattern recognition is done for an unlimited object, it is effective to see the object in a perspective manner at the beginning and next to see in detail. General features are used for rough classification and local features are used for a more detailed classification. D-P matching is applied for classification of a typical contour image of individual class, which contains selected points called ""landmark""s, and rough classification is done. Features between these landmarks are analyzed and used as input data of neural networks for more detailed classification. We apply this to an illustrated referenced book of insects in which much information is classified hierarchically to verify the proposed method. By introducing landmarks, a neural network can be used effectively for pattern recognition of contour images.

Abstract Editor’s Perspective What We Already Know about This Topic What This Article Tells Us That Is New Background The authors tested the hypothesis that deep neural networks trained on intraoperative features can predict postoperative in-hospital mortality. Methods The data used to train and validate the algorithm consists of 59,985 patients with 87 features extracted at the end of surgery. Feed-forward networks with a logistic output were trained using stochastic gradient descent with momentum. The deep neural networks were trained on 80% of the data, with 20% reserved for testing. The authors assessed improvement of the deep neural network by adding American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Physical Status Classification and robustness of the deep neural network to a reduced feature set. The networks were then compared to ASA Physical Status, logistic regression, and other published clinical scores including the Surgical Apgar, Preoperative Score to Predict Postoperative Mortality, Risk Quantification Index, and the Risk Stratification Index. Results In-hospital mortality in the training and test sets were 0.81% and 0.73%. The deep neural network with a reduced feature set and ASA Physical Status classification had the highest area under the receiver operating characteristics curve, 0.91 (95% CI, 0.88 to 0.93). The highest logistic regression area under the curve was found with a reduced feature set and ASA Physical Status (0.90, 95% CI, 0.87 to 0.93). The Risk Stratification Index had the highest area under the receiver operating characteristics curve, at 0.97 (95% CI, 0.94 to 0.99). Conclusions Deep neural networks can predict in-hospital mortality based on automatically extractable intraoperative data, but are not (yet) superior to existing methods.

Background: Identifying user suitability plays a vital role in various modalities like neuromuscular system research, rehabilitation engineering and movement biomechanics. This paper analysis the user suitability based on neural networks (NN), subjects, age groups and gender for surface electromyogram (sEMG) pattern recognition system to control the myoelectric hand. Six parametric feature extraction algorithms are used to extract the features from sEMG signals such as AR (Autoregressive) Burg, AR Yule Walker, AR Covariance, AR Modified Covariance, Levinson Durbin Recursion and Linear Prediction Coefficient. The sEMG signals are modeled using Cascade Forward Back propagation Neural Network (CFBNN) and Pattern Recognition Neural Network. Methods: sEMG signals generated from forearm muscles of the participants are collected through an sEMG acquisition system. Based on the sEMG signals, the type of movement attempted by the user is identified in the sEMG recognition module using signal processing, feature extraction and machine learning techniques. The information about the identified movement is passed to microcontroller wherein a control is developed to command the prosthetic hand to emulate the identified movement. Results: From the six feature extraction algorithms and two neural network models used in the study, the maximum classification accuracy of 95.13% was obtained using AR Burg with Pattern Recognition Neural Network. This justifies that the Pattern Recognition Neural Network is best suited for this study as the neural network model is specially designed for pattern matching problem. Moreover, it has simple architecture and low computational complexity. AR Burg is found to be the best feature extraction technique in this study due to its high resolution for short data records and its ability to always produce a stable model. In all the neural network models, the maximum classification accuracy is obtained for subject 10 as a result of his better muscle fitness and his maximum involvement in training sessions. Subjects in the age group of 26-30 years are best suited for the study due to their better muscle contractions. Better muscle fatigue resistance has contributed for better performance of female subjects as compared to male subjects. From the single trial analysis, it can be observed that the hand close movement has achieved best recognition rate for all neural network models. Conclusion: In this paper a study was conducted to identify user suitability for designing hand prosthesis. Data were collected from ten subjects for twelve tasks related to finger movements. The suitability of the user was identified using two neural networks with six parametric features. From the result, it was concluded thatfit women doing regular physical exercises aged between 26-30 years are best suitable for developing HMI for designing a prosthetic hand. Pattern Recognition Neural Network with AR Burg extraction features using extension movements will be a better way to design the HMI. However, Signal acquisition based on wireless method is worth considering for the future.

The task of counting the number of people is relevant when conducting various types of events, which may include seminars, lectures, conferences, meetings, etc. Instead of monotonous manual counting of participants, it is much more effective to use facial recognition technology, which makes it possible not only to quickly count those present, but also to recognize each of them, which makes it possible to conduct further analysis of this data, identify patterns in them and predict. The research conducted in this paper determines the quality assessment of the use of facial recognition technology in images andvideo streams, based on the use of a deep neural network, to solve the problem of automating attendance tracking.

Learning to recognize a new object after having learned to recognize other objects may be a simple task for a human, but not for machines. The present go-to approaches for teaching a machine to recognize a set of objects are based on the use of deep neural networks (DNN). So, intuitively, the solution for teaching new objects on the fly to a machine should be DNN. The problem is that the trained DNN weights used to classify the initial set of objects are extremely fragile, meaning that any change to those weights can severely damage the capacity to perform the initial recognitions; this phenomenon is known as catastrophic forgetting (CF). This paper presents a new (DNN) continual learning (CL) architecture that can deal with CF, the modular dynamic neural network (MDNN). The presented architecture consists of two main components: (a) the ResNet50-based feature extraction component as the backbone; and (b) the modular dynamic classification component, which consists of multiple sub-networks and progressively builds itself up in a tree-like structure that rearranges itself as it learns over time in such a way that each sub-network can function independently. The main contribution of the paper is a new architecture that is strongly based on its modular dynamic training feature. This modular structure allows for new classes to be added while only altering specific sub-networks in such a way that previously known classes are not forgotten. Tests on the CORe50 dataset showed results above the state of the art for CL architectures.
