Heart sounds play an important role in the diagnosis of cardiac conditions. Due to the low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), it is problematic and time-consuming for experts to discriminate different kinds of heart sounds. Thus, objective classification of heart sounds is essential. In this study, we combined a conventional feature engineering method with deep learning algorithms to automatically classify normal and abnormal heart sounds. First, 497 features were extracted from eight domains. Then, we fed these features into the designed convolutional neural network (CNN), in which the fully connected layers that are usually used before the classification layer were replaced with a global average pooling layer to obtain global information about the feature maps and avoid overfitting. Considering the class imbalance, the class weights were set in the loss function during the training process to improve the classification algorithm’s performance. Stratified five-fold cross-validation was used to evaluate the performance of the proposed method. The mean accuracy, sensitivity, specificity and Matthews correlation coefficient observed on the PhysioNet/CinC Challenge 2016 dataset were 86.8%, 87%, 86.6% and 72.1% respectively. The proposed algorithm’s performance achieves an appropriate trade-off between sensitivity and specificity.

Motivation: Cryo-electron tomography (Cryo-ET) with sub-tomogram averaging (STA) is indispensable when studying macromolecule structures and functions in their native environments. However, current tomographic reconstructions suffer the low signal-to-noise (SNR) ratio and the missing wedge artifacts. Hence, automatic and accurate macromolecule localization and classification become the bottleneck problem for structural determination by STA. Here, we propose a 3D multi-scale dense convolutional neural network (MSDNet) for voxel-wise annotations of tomograms. Weighted focal loss is adopted as a loss function to solve the class imbalance. The proposed network combines 3D hybrid dilated convolutions (HDC) and dense connectivity to ensure an accurate performance with relatively few trainable parameters. 3D HDC expands the receptive field without losing resolution or learning extra parameters. Dense connectivity facilitates the re-use of feature maps to generate fewer intermediate feature maps and trainable parameters. Then, we design a 3D MSDNet based approach for fully automatic macromolecule localization and classification, called VP-Detector (Voxel-wise Particle Detector). VP-Detector is efficient because classification performs on the pre-calculated coordinates instead of a sliding window. Results: We evaluated the VP-Detector on simulated tomograms. Compared to the state-of-the-art methods, our method achieved a competitive performance on localization with the highest F1-score. We also demonstrated that the weighted focal loss improves the classification of hard classes. We trained the network on a part of training sets to prove the availability of training on relatively small datasets. Moreover, the experiment shows that VP-Detector has a fast particle detection speed, which costs less than 14 minutes on a test tomogram.

In medical science, brain tumor is the most common and aggressive disease and is known to be risk factors that have been confirmed by research. A brain tumor is the anomalous development of cell inside the brain. One conventional strategy to separate brain tumors is by reviewing the MRI pictures of the patient's mind. In this paper, we have designed a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to perceive whether the image contains tumor or not. We have designed 5 different CNN and examined each design on the basis of convolution layers, max-pooling, and flattening layers and activation functions. In each design we have made some changes on layers i.e. using different pooling layers in design 2 and 4, using different activation functions in design 2 and 3, and adding more Fully Connected layers in design 5. We examine their results and compare it with other designs. After comparing their results we find a best design out of 5 based on their accuracy. Utilizing our Convolutional neural network, we could accomplish a training accuracy and validation accuracy of design 3 at 100 epochs is 99.99% and 92.34%, best case scenario.

Recently, Electroencephalography (EEG) motor imagery (MI) signals have received increasing attention because it became possible to use these signals to encode a person’s intention to perform an action. Researchers have used MI signals to help people with partial or total paralysis, control devices such as exoskeletons, wheelchairs, prostheses, and even independent driving. Therefore, classifying the motor imagery tasks of these signals is important for a Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) system. Classifying the MI tasks from EEG signals is difficult to offer a good decoder due to the dynamic nature of the signal, its low signal-to-noise ratio, complexity, and dependence on the sensor positions. In this paper, we investigate five multilayer methods for classifying MI tasks: proposed methods based on Artificial Neural Network, Convolutional Neural Network 1 (CNN1), CNN2, CNN1 with CNN2 merged, and the modified CNN1 with CNN2 merged. These proposed methods use different spatial and temporal characteristics extracted from raw EEG data. We demonstrate that our proposed CNN1-based method outperforms state-of-the-art machine/deep learning techniques for EEG classification by an accuracy value of 68.77% and use spatial and frequency characteristics on the BCI Competition IV-2a dataset, which includes nine subjects performing four MI tasks (left/right hand, feet, and tongue). The experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of this proposed method for the classification of MI-EEG signals and can be applied successfully to BCI systems where the amount of data is large due to daily recording.

Beef is a food ingredient that has a high selling value. Such high prices make some people manipulate sales in markets or other shopping venues, such as mixing beef and pork. The difference between pork and beef is actually from the color and texture of the meat. However, many people do not understand these differences yet. In addition to socialization related to understanding the differences between the two types of meat, another solution is to create a technology that can recognize and differentiate pork and beef. That is what underlies this research to build a system that can classify the two types of meat. Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is one of the Deep Learning methods and the development of Artificial Intelligence science that can be applied to classify images. Several regularization techniques include Dropout, L2, and Max-Norm were applied to the model and compared to obtain the best classification results and may predict new data accurately. It has known that the highest accuracy of 97.56% obtained from the CNN model by applying the Dropout technique using 0.7 supported by hyperparameters such as Adam's optimizer, 128 neurons in the fully connected layer, ReLu activation function, and 3 fully connected layers. The reason that also underlies the selection of the model is the low error rate of the model, which is only 0.111.Keywords: Beef and Pork, Model, Classification, CNN

Classification of processes in heavy-ion collisions in the CBM experiment (FAIR/GSI, Darmstadt) using neural networks is investigated. Fully-connected neural networks and a deep convolutional neural network are built to identify quark–gluon plasma simulated within the Parton-Hadron-String Dynamics (PHSD) microscopic off-shell transport approach for central Au+Au collision at a fixed energy. The convolutional neural network outperforms fully-connected networks and reaches 93% accuracy on the validation set, while the remaining only 7% of collisions are incorrectly classified.

AbstractRecently, due to the wide application of low probability of intercept (LPI) radar, lots of recognition approaches about LPI radar signal modulations have been proposed. However, facing the increasingly complex electromagnetic environment, most existing methods have poor performance to identify different modulation types in low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). This paper proposes an automatic recognition method for different LPI radar signal modulations. Firstly, time-domain signals are converted to time-frequency images (TFIs) by smooth pseudo-Wigner–Ville distribution. Then, these TFIs are fed into a designed triplet convolutional neural network (TCNN) to obtain high-dimensional feature vectors. In essence, TCNN is a CNN network that triplet loss is adopted to optimize parameters of the network in the training process. The participation of triplet loss can ensure that the distance between samples in different classes is greater than that between samples with the same label, improving the discriminability of TCNN. Eventually, a fully connected neural network is employed as the classifier to recognize different modulation types. Simulation shows that the overall recognition success rate can achieve 94% at − 10 dB, which proves the proposed method has a strong discriminating capability for the recognition of different LPI radar signal modulations, even under low SNR.

Abstract Background A limitation of traditional differential expression analysis on small datasets involves the possibility of false positives and false negatives due to sample variation. Considering the recent advances in deep learning (DL) based models, we wanted to expand the state-of-the-art in disease biomarker prediction from RNA-seq data using DL. However, application of DL to RNA-seq data is challenging due to absence of appropriate labels and smaller sample size as compared to number of genes. Deep learning coupled with transfer learning can improve prediction performance on novel data by incorporating patterns learned from other related data. With the emergence of new disease datasets, biomarker prediction would be facilitated by having a generalized model that can transfer the knowledge of trained feature maps to the new dataset. To the best of our knowledge, there is no Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)-based model coupled with transfer learning to predict the significant upregulating (UR) and downregulating (DR) genes from both trained and untrained datasets. Results We implemented a CNN model, DEGnext, to predict UR and DR genes from gene expression data obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas database. DEGnext uses biologically validated data along with logarithmic fold change values to classify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) as UR and DR genes. We applied transfer learning to our model to leverage the knowledge of trained feature maps to untrained cancer datasets. DEGnext’s results were competitive (ROC scores between 88 and 99$$\%$$ % ) with those of five traditional machine learning methods: Decision Tree, K-Nearest Neighbors, Random Forest, Support Vector Machine, and XGBoost. DEGnext was robust and effective in terms of transferring learned feature maps to facilitate classification of unseen datasets. Additionally, we validated that the predicted DEGs from DEGnext were mapped to significant Gene Ontology terms and pathways related to cancer. Conclusions DEGnext can classify DEGs into UR and DR genes from RNA-seq cancer datasets with high performance. This type of analysis, using biologically relevant fine-tuning data, may aid in the exploration of potential biomarkers and can be adapted for other disease datasets.

SUMMARY In this paper, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) were used to distinguish between tectonic and non-tectonic seismicity. The proposed CNNs consisted of seven convolutional layers with small kernels and one fully connected layer, which only relied on the acoustic waveform without extracting features manually. For a single station, the accuracy of the model was 0.90, and the event accuracy could reach 0.93. The proposed model was tested using data from January 2019 to August 2019 in China. The event accuracy could reach 0.92, showing that the proposed model could distinguish between tectonic and non-tectonic seismicity.
