Forward Operator

In hydrogeology, inverse techniques have become indispensable to characterize subsurface parameters and their uncertainty. When modeling heterogeneous, geologically realistic discrete model spaces, such as categorical fields, Monte Carlo methods are needed to properly sample the solution space. Inversion algorithms use a forward operator, such as a numerical groundwater solver. The forward operator often represents the bottleneck for the high computational cost of the Monte Carlo sampling schemes. Even if efficient sampling methods (for example Posterior Population Expansion, PoPEx) have been developed, they need significant computing resources. It is therefore desirable to speed up such methods. As only a few models generated by the sampler have a significant likelihood, we propose to predict the significance of generated models by means of machine learning. Only models labeled as significant are passed to the forward solver, otherwise, they are rejected. This work compares the performance of AdaBoost, Random Forest, and convolutional neural network as classifiers integrated with the PoPEx framework. During initial iterations of the algorithm, the forward solver is always executed and subsurface models along with the likelihoods are stored. Then, the machine learning schemes are trained on the available data. We demonstrate the technique using a simulation of a tracer test in a fluvial aquifer. The geology is modeled by the multiple-point statistical approach, the field contains four geological facies, with associated permeability, porosity, and specific storage values. MODFLOW is used for groundwater flow and transport simulation. The solution of the inverse problem is used to estimate the 10 days protection zone around the pumping well. The estimated speed-ups with Random Forest and AdaBoost were higher than with the convolutional neural network. To validate the approach, computing times of inversion without and with machine learning schemes were computed and the error against the reference solution was calculated. For the same mean error, accelerated PoPEx achieved a speed-up rate of up to 2 with respect to the standard PoPEx.

Abstract Background: Differentiating between ulcerative colitis (UC), Crohn’s disease (CD) and intestinal tuberculosis (ITB) using endoscopy is challenging. We aimed to realize automatic differential diagnosis among these diseases through machine learning algorithms. Methods: A total of 6399 consecutive patients (5128 UC, 875 CD and 396 ITB) who had undergone colonoscopy examinations in the Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2008 to November 2018 were enrolled. The input was the description of the endoscopic image in the form of free text. Word segmentation and key word filtering were conducted as data preprocessing. Random forest (RF) and convolutional neural network (CNN) approaches were applied to different disease entities. Three two-class classifiers (UC and CD, UC and ITB, and CD and ITB) and a three-class classifier (UC, CD and ITB) were built. Results: The classifiers built in this research performed well, and the CNN had better performance in general. The RF sensitivities/specificities of UC-CD, UC-ITB, and CD-ITB were 0.89/0.84, 0.83/0.82, and 0.72/0.77, respectively, while the values for the CNN of CD-ITB were 0.90/0.77. The precisions/recalls of UC-CD-ITB when employing RF were 0.97/0.97, 0.65/0.53, and 0.68/0.76, respectively, and when employing the CNN were 0.99/0.97, 0.87/0.83, and 0.52/0.81, respectively.Conclusions: Classifiers built by RF and CNN approaches had excellent performance when classifying UC with CD or ITB. For the differentiation of CD and ITB, high specificity and sensitivity were achieved as well. Artificial intelligence through machine learning is very promising in helping unexperienced endoscopists differentiate inflammatory intestinal diseases.

Image recognition is one of the key technologies for worker’s helmet detection using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). By analyzing the image feature extraction method for workers’ helmet detection based on convolutional neural network (CNN), a double-channel convolutional neural network (DCNN) model is proposed to improve the traditional image processing methods. On the basis of AlexNet model, the image features of the worker can be extracted using two independent CNNs, and the essential image features can be better reflected considering the abstraction degree of the features. Combining a traditional machine learning method and random forest (RF), an intelligent recognition algorithm based on DCNN and RF is proposed for workers’ helmet detection. The experimental results show that deep learning (DL) is closely related to the traditional machine learning methods. Moreover, adding a DL module to the traditional machine learning framework can improve the recognition accuracy.

Sentiment analysis is one of the active research areas in the field of datamining. Machine learning algorithms are capable to implement sentiment analysis. Due to the capacity of self-learning and massive data handling, most of the researchers are using deep learning neural networks for solving sentiment classification tasks. So, in this paper, a new model is designed under a hybrid framework of machine learning and deep learning which couples Convolutional Neural Network and Random Forest classifier for fine-grained sentiment analysis. The Continuous Bag-of-Word (CBOW) model is used to vectorize the text input. The most important features are extracted by the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). The extracted features are used by the Random Forest(RF) classifier for sentiment classification. The performance of the proposed hybrid CNNRF model is comparedwith the base model such as Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Random Forest (RF) classifier. The experimental result shows that the proposed model far beat the existing base models in terms of classification accuracy and effectively integrated genetically-modified CNN with Random Forest classifier.

Healthcare sector is one of the prominent sectors in which a lot of data can be collected not only in terms of health but also in terms of finances. Major frauds happen in the healthcare sector due to the utilization of credit cards as the continuous enhancement of electronic payments, and credit card fraud monitoring has been a challenge in terms of financial condition to the different service providers. Hence, continuous enhancement is necessary for the system for detecting frauds. Various fraud scenarios happen continuously, which has a massive impact on financial losses. Many technologies such as phishing or virus-like Trojans are mostly used to collect sensitive information about credit cards and their owner details. Therefore, efficient technology should be there for identifying the different types of fraudulent conduct in credit cards. In this paper, various machine learning and deep learning approaches are used for detecting frauds in credit cards and different algorithms such as Naive Bayes, Logistic Regression, K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), Random Forest, and the Sequential Convolutional Neural Network are skewed for training the other standard and abnormal features of transactions for detecting the frauds in credit cards. For evaluating the accuracy of the model, publicly available data are used. The different algorithm results visualized the accuracy as 96.1%, 94.8%, 95.89%, 97.58%, and 92.3%, corresponding to various methodologies such as Naive Bayes, Logistic Regression, K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), Random Forest, and the Sequential Convolutional Neural Network, respectively. The comparative analysis visualized that the KNN algorithm generates better results than other approaches.

Abstract Purpose In 2-dimensional lateral cephalometric radiographs, patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) exhibit a more crowded oropharynx in comparison with non-OSA. We tested the hypothesis that machine learning, an application of artificial intelligence (AI), could be used to detect patients with severe OSA based on 2-dimensional images. Methods A deep convolutional neural network was developed (n = 1258; 90%) and tested (n = 131; 10%) using data from 1389 (100%) lateral cephalometric radiographs obtained from individuals diagnosed with severe OSA (n = 867; apnea hypopnea index > 30 events/h sleep) or non-OSA (n = 522; apnea hypopnea index < 5 events/h sleep) at a single center for sleep disorders. Three kinds of data sets were prepared by changing the area of interest using a single image: the original image without any modification (full image), an image containing a facial profile, upper airway, and craniofacial soft/hard tissues (main region), and an image containing part of the occipital region (head only). A radiologist also performed a conventional manual cephalometric analysis of the full image for comparison. Results The sensitivity/specificity was 0.87/0.82 for full image, 0.88/0.75 for main region, 0.71/0.63 for head only, and 0.54/0.80 for the manual analysis. The area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve was the highest for main region 0.92, for full image 0.89, for head only 0.70, and for manual cephalometric analysis 0.75. Conclusions A deep convolutional neural network identified individuals with severe OSA with high accuracy. Future research on this concept using AI and images can be further encouraged when discussing triage of OSA.

AbstractMachine learning has greatly facilitated the analysis of medical data, while the internal operations usually remain intransparent. To better comprehend these opaque procedures, a convolutional neural network for optical coherence tomography image segmentation was enhanced with a Traceable Relevance Explainability (T-REX) technique. The proposed application was based on three components: ground truth generation by multiple graders, calculation of Hamming distances among graders and the machine learning algorithm, as well as a smart data visualization (‘neural recording’). An overall average variability of 1.75% between the human graders and the algorithm was found, slightly minor to 2.02% among human graders. The ambiguity in ground truth had noteworthy impact on machine learning results, which could be visualized. The convolutional neural network balanced between graders and allowed for modifiable predictions dependent on the compartment. Using the proposed T-REX setup, machine learning processes could be rendered more transparent and understandable, possibly leading to optimized applications.
