Eye Screening

Glaucoma is a major global cause of blindness. As the symptoms of glaucoma appear, when the disease reaches an advanced stage, proper screening of glaucoma in the early stages is challenging. Therefore, regular glaucoma screening is essential and recommended. However, eye screening is currently subjective, time-consuming and labor-intensive and there are insufficient eye specialists available. We present an automatic two-stage glaucoma screening system to reduce the workload of ophthalmologists. The system first segmented the optic disc region using a DeepLabv3+ architecture but substituted the encoder module with multiple deep convolutional neural networks. For the classification stage, we used pretrained deep convolutional neural networks for three proposals (1) transfer learning and (2) learning the feature descriptors using support vector machine and (3) building ensemble of methods in (1) and (2). We evaluated our methods on five available datasets containing 2787 retinal images and found that the best option for optic disc segmentation is a combination of DeepLabv3+ and MobileNet. For glaucoma classification, an ensemble of methods performed better than the conventional methods for RIM-ONE, ORIGA, DRISHTI-GS1 and ACRIMA datasets with the accuracy of 97.37%, 90.00%, 86.84% and 99.53% and Area Under Curve (AUC) of 100%, 92.06%, 91.67% and 99.98%, respectively, and performed comparably with CUHKMED, the top team in REFUGE challenge, using REFUGE dataset with an accuracy of 95.59% and AUC of 95.10%.

Visual Tasks

Recently, convolutional neural networks have demonstrated excellent performance on various visual tasks, including the classification of common two-dimensional images. In this paper, deep convolutional neural networks are employed to classify hyperspectral images directly in spectral domain. More specifically, the architecture of the proposed classifier contains five layers with weights which are the input layer, the convolutional layer, the max pooling layer, the full connection layer, and the output layer. These five layers are implemented on each spectral signature to discriminate against others. Experimental results based on several hyperspectral image data sets demonstrate that the proposed method can achieve better classification performance than some traditional methods, such as support vector machines and the conventional deep learning-based methods.

Customer Churn

Several machine learning models have been proposed to address customer churn problems. In this work, the authors used a novel method by applying deep convolutional neural networks on a labeled dataset of 18,000 prepaid subscribers to classify/identify customer churn. The learning technique was based on call detail records (CDR) describing customers activity during two-month traffic from a real telecommunication provider. The authors use this method to identify new business use case by considering each subscriber as a single input image describing the churning state. Different experiments were performed to evaluate the performance of the method. The authors found that deep convolutional neural networks (DCNN) outperformed other traditional machine learning algorithms (support vector machines, random forest, and gradient boosting classifier) with F1 score of 91%. Thus, the use of this approach can reduce the cost related to customer loss and fits better the churn prediction business use case.

Softmax Classifier

This paper presents an image-based crack detection system, in which its architecture is modified to use deep convolutional neural networks in a feature extraction step and other classifiers in the classification step. In the classification step, classifiers including Support Vector machines (SVMs), Random Forest (RF) and Evolutionary Artificial Neural Network (EANN) are used as an alternative to a Softmax classifier and the performance of these classifiers are studied. The data set was created from various types of concrete structures using a standard digital camera and an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The collected images are used in the crack detection system and in creating a 3D model of a sample concrete building using an image- based 3D photogrammetry technique. Then, the 3D model is used to create a mosaic image, in which the crack detection system was applied to create a global view of a crack density map. The map is then projected onto the 3D model to allow cracks to be located in the 3D world. A comparative study was conducted on the proposed crack detection system and the results prove that the combined architecture of CNN as a feature extractor and SVM as a classifier shows the best performance with the accuracy of 92.80. The results also show that the modified architecture by integrating CNN and other types of classifiers can improve a system performance, which is better than using the Softmax classifier.

And Performance

The use of smart sports equipment and body sensory systems supervising daily sports training is gradually emerging in professional and amateur sports; however, the problem of processing large amounts of data from sensors used in sport and discovering constructive knowledge is a novel topic and the focus of our research. In this article, we investigate golf swing data classification methods based on varieties of representative convolutional neural networks (deep convolutional neural networks) which are fed with swing data from embedded multi-sensors, to group the multi-channel golf swing data labeled by hybrid categories from different golf players and swing shapes. In particular, four convolutional neural classifiers are customized: “GolfVanillaCNN” with the convolutional layers, “GolfVGG” with the stacked convolutional layers, “GolfInception” with the multi-scale convolutional layers, and “GolfResNet” with the residual learning. Testing on the real-world swing dataset sampled from the system integrating two strain gage sensors, three-axis accelerometer, and three-axis gyroscope, we explore the accuracy and performance of our convolutional neural network–based classifiers from two perspectives: classification implementations and sensor combinations. Besides, we further evaluate the performance of these four classifiers in terms of classification accuracy, precision–recall curves, and F1 scores. These common classification indicators illustrate that our convolutional neural network–based classifiers can basically group the golf swing predefined by the combination of shapes and golf players correctly and outperform support vector machine method representing traditional classification methods.
