The classification of fresh tobacco leaves during the picking process plays an important role in the subsequent roasting. In this paper, a lightweight convolutional neural network is used to detect the maturity of tobacco leaves quickly. Fresh tobacco leaves in the datasets are divided into 3 categories by the picking position, and each category is divided into 4 maturity levels and finally gets 12 types of tobacco leaves with different maturity. To ensure the lightweight of the model, the new network is based on the MobileNetV2 to establish. By utilizing shortcut operation, the shallow network information is preserved, and network degradation is suppressed. In the tobacco leaf datasets we obtained, the improved network has superior performance and compared with other classic networks, the model size and the number of operations have been reduced.

The maturity affects the yield, quality, and economic value of tobacco leaves. Leaf maturity level discrimination is an important step in manual harvesting. However, the maturity judgment of fresh tobacco leaves by grower visual evaluation is subjective, which may lead to quality loss and low prices. Therefore, an objective and reliable discriminant technique for tobacco leaf maturity level based on near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy combined with a deep learning approach of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) is proposed in this study. To assess the performance of the proposed maturity discriminant model, four conventional multiclass classification approaches—K-nearest neighbor (KNN), backpropagation neural network (BPNN), support vector machine (SVM), and extreme learning machine (ELM)—were employed for a comparative analysis of three categories (upper, middle, and lower position) of tobacco leaves. Experimental results showed that the CNN discriminant models were able to precisely classify the maturity level of tobacco leaves for the above three data sets with accuracies of 96.18%, 95.2%, and 97.31%, respectively. Moreover, the CNN models with strong feature extraction and learning ability were superior to the KNN, BPNN, SVM, and ELM models. Thus, NIR spectroscopy combined with CNN is a promising alternative to overcome the limitations of sensory assessment for tobacco leaf maturity level recognition. The development of a maturity-distinguishing model can provide an accurate, reliable, and scientific auxiliary means for tobacco leaf harvesting.

Abstract Drug-Drug Interaction (DDI) prediction is one of the most critical issues in drug development and health. Proposing appropriate computational methods for predicting unknown DDI with high precision is challenging. We proposed "NDD: Neural network-based method for drug-drug interaction prediction" for predicting unknown DDIs using various information about drugs. Multiple drug similarities based on drug substructure, target, side effect, off-label side effect, pathway, transporter, and indication data are calculated. At first, NDD uses a heuristic similarity selection process and then integrates the selected similarities with a nonlinear similarity fusion method to achieve high-level features. Afterward, it uses a neural network for interaction prediction. The similarity selection and similarity integration parts of NDD have been proposed in previous studies of other problems. Our novelty is to combine these parts with new neural network architecture and apply these approaches in the context of DDI prediction. We compared NDD with six machine learning classifiers and six state-of-the-art graph-based methods on three benchmark datasets. NDD achieved superior performance in cross-validation with AUPR ranging from 0.830 to 0.947, AUC from 0.954 to 0.994 and F-measure from 0.772 to 0.902. Moreover, cumulative evidence in case studies on numerous drug pairs, further confirm the ability of NDD to predict unknown DDIs. The evaluations corroborate that NDD is an efficient method for predicting unknown DDIs. The data and implementation of NDD are available at https://github.com/nrohani/NDD.

Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is a common carcinoma in thyroid. As many benign thyroid nodules have the papillary structure which could easily be confused with PTC in morphology. Thus, pathologists have to take a lot of time on differential diagnosis of PTC besides personal diagnostic experience and there is no doubt that it is subjective and difficult to obtain consistency among observers. To address this issue, we applied deep learning to the differential diagnosis of PTC and proposed a histological image classification method for PTC based on the Inception Residual convolutional neural network (IRCNN) and support vector machine (SVM). First, in order to expand the dataset and solve the problem of histological image color inconsistency, a pre-processing module was constructed that included color transfer and mirror transform. Then, to alleviate overfitting of the deep learning model, we optimized the convolution neural network by combining Inception Network and Residual Network to extract image features. Finally, the SVM was trained via image features extracted by IRCNN to perform the classification task. Experimental results show effectiveness of the proposed method in the classification of PTC histological images.

AbstractThe Institute of Virology at the Philipps-Universität Marburg is currently researching possible drugs to combat the Marburg virus. This involves classifying cell structures based on fluoroscopic microscopic image sequences. Conventionally, membranes of cells must be marked for better analysis, which is time consuming. In this work, an approach is presented to identify cell structures in images that are marked for subviral particles. It could be shown that there is a correlation between the distribution of subviral particles in an infected cell and the position of the cell’s structures. The segmentation is performed with a "Mask-R-CNN" algorithm, presented in this work. The model (a region-based convolutional neural network) is applied to enable a robust and fast recognition of cell structures. Furthermore, the network architecture is described. The proposed method is tested on data evaluated by experts. The results show a high potential and demonstrate that the method is suitable.

Abstract INTRODUCTION Opioid misuse persists as a public health crisis affecting approximately one in four Americans.1 Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is a neuromodulation strategy to treat chronic pain, with one goal being decreased opioid consumption. Accurate prognostication about SCS success is key in optimizing surgical decision making for both physicians and patients. Deep learning, using neural network models such as the multilayer perceptron (MLP), enables accurate prediction of non-linear patterns and has widespread applications in healthcare. METHODS The IBM MarketScan® (IBM) database was queried for all patients ≥ 18 years old undergoing SCS from January 2010 to December 2015. Patients were categorized into opioid dose groups as follows: No Use, ≤ 20 morphine milligram equivalents (MME), 20–50 MME, 50–90 MME, and >90 MME. We defined “opiate weaning” as moving into a lower opioid dose group (or remaining in the No Use group) during the 12 months following permanent SCS implantation. After pre-processing, there were 62 predictors spanning demographics, comorbidities, and pain medication history. We compared an MLP with four hidden layers to the LR model with L1 regularization. Model performance was assessed using area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) with 5-fold nested cross-validation. RESULTS Ultimately, 6,124 patients were included, of which 77% had used opioids for >90 days within the 1-year pre-SCS and 72% had used >5 types of medications during the 90 days prior to SCS. The mean age was 56 ± 13 years old. Collectively, 2,037 (33%) patients experienced opiate weaning. The AUC was 0.74 for the MLP and 0.73 for the LR model. CONCLUSION To our knowledge, we present the first use of deep learning to predict opioid weaning after SCS. Model performance was slightly better than regularized LR. Future efforts should focus on optimization of neural network architecture and hyperparameters to further improve model performance. Models should also be calibrated and externally validated on an independent dataset. Ultimately, such tools may assist both physicians and patients in predicting opioid dose reduction after SCS.

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are being widely utilized for various missions: in both civilian and military sectors. Many of these missions demand UAVs to acquire artificial intelligence about the environments they are navigating in. This perception can be realized by training a computing machine to classify objects in the environment. One of the well known machine training approaches is supervised deep learning, which enables a machine to classify objects. However, supervised deep learning comes with huge sacrifice in terms of time and computational resources. Collecting big input data, pre-training processes, such as labeling training data, and the need for a high performance computer for training are some of the challenges that supervised deep learning poses. To address these setbacks, this study proposes mission specific input data augmentation techniques and the design of light-weight deep neural network architecture that is capable of real-time object classification. Semi-direct visual odometry (SVO) data of augmented images are used to train the network for object classification. Ten classes of 10,000 different images in each class were used as input data where 80% were for training the network and the remaining 20% were used for network validation. For the optimization of the designed deep neural network, a sequential gradient descent algorithm was implemented. This algorithm has the advantage of handling redundancy in the data more efficiently than other algorithms.

Deep learning models are efficient in learning the features that assist in understanding complex patterns precisely. This study proposed a computerized process of classifying skin disease through deep learning based MobileNet V2 and Long Short Term Memory (LSTM). The MobileNet V2 model proved to be efficient with a better accuracy that can work on lightweight computational devices. The proposed model is efficient in maintaining stateful information for precise predictions. A grey-level co-occurrence matrix is used for assessing the progress of diseased growth. The performance has been compared against other state-of-the-art models such as Fine-Tuned Neural Networks (FTNN), Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), Very Deep Convolutional Networks for Large-Scale Image Recognition developed by Visual Geometry Group (VGG), and convolutional neural network architecture that expanded with few changes. The HAM10000 dataset is used and the proposed method has outperformed other methods with more than 85% accuracy. Its robustness in recognizing the affected region much faster with almost 2× lesser computations than the conventional MobileNet model results in minimal computational efforts. Furthermore, a mobile application is designed for instant and proper action. It helps the patient and dermatologists identify the type of disease from the affected region’s image at the initial stage of the skin disease. These findings suggest that the proposed system can help general practitioners efficiently and effectively diagnose skin conditions, thereby reducing further complications and morbidity.
