Classification Framework

Architectural distortion is the third most suspicious appearance on a mammogram representing abnormal regions. Architectural distortion (AD) detection from mammograms is challenging due to its subtle and varying asymmetry on breast mass and small size. Automatic detection of abnormal ADs regions in mammograms using computer algorithms at initial stages could help radiologists and doctors. The architectural distortion star shapes ROIs detection, noise removal, and object location, affecting the classification performance, reducing accuracy. The computer vision-based technique automatically removes the noise and detects the location of objects from varying patterns. The current study investigated the gap to detect architectural distortion ROIs (region of interest) from mammograms using computer vision techniques. Proposed an automated computer-aided diagnostic system based on architectural distortion using computer vision and deep learning to predict breast cancer from digital mammograms. The proposed mammogram classification framework pertains to four steps such as image preprocessing, augmentation and image pixel-wise segmentation. Architectural distortion ROI`s detection, training deep learning, and machine learning networks to classify AD`s ROIs into malignant and benign classes. The proposed method has been evaluated on three databases, the PINUM, the CBIS-DDSM, and the DDSM mammogram images, using computer vision and depth-wise 2D V-net 64 convolutional neural networks and achieved 0.95, 0.97, and 0.98 accuracies, respectively. Experimental results reveal that our proposed method outperforms as compared with the ShuffelNet, MobileNet, SVM, K-NN, RF, and previous studies.

Despite the promising results obtained by deep learning methods in the field of medical image segmentation, lack of sufficient data always hinders performance to a certain degree. In this work, we explore the feasibility of applying deep learning methods on a pilot dataset. We present a simple and practical approach to perform segmentation in a 2D, slice-by-slice manner, based on region of interest (ROI) localization, applying an optimized training regime to improve segmentation performance from regions of interest. We start from two popular segmentation networks, the preferred model for medical segmentation, U-Net, and a general-purpose model, DeepLabV3+. Furthermore, we show that ensembling of these two fundamentally different architectures brings constant benefits by testing our approach on two different datasets, the publicly available ACDC challenge, and the imATFIB dataset from our in-house conducted clinical study. Results on the imATFIB dataset show that the proposed approach performs well with the provided training volumes, achieving an average Dice Similarity Coefficient of the whole heart of 89.89% on the validation set. Moreover, our algorithm achieved a mean Dice value of 91.87% on the ACDC validation, being comparable to the second best-performing approach on the challenge. Our approach provides an opportunity to serve as a building block of a computer-aided diagnostic system in a clinical setting.

Noise reduction is one of the most important and still active research topics in low-level image processing due to its high impact on object detection and scene understanding for computer vision systems. Recently, we observed a substantially increased interest in the application of deep learning algorithms. Many computer vision systems use them, due to their impressive capability of feature extraction and classification. While these methods have also been successfully applied in image denoising, significantly improving its performance, most of the proposed approaches were designed for Gaussian noise suppression. In this paper, we present a switching filtering technique intended for impulsive noise removal using deep learning. In the proposed method, the distorted pixels are detected using a deep neural network architecture and restored with the fast adaptive mean filter. The performed experiments show that the proposed approach is superior to the state-of-the-art filters designed for impulsive noise removal in color digital images.

During search and rescue operations in flood disaster, application of deep learning on aerial imaging is pretty good to find the humans when the environmental conditions are favorable and clear but it starts failing when the environmental conditions are adverse or not supporting. During our findings we realized that generally rescue teams stop their rescue work in night time because of invisibility .When orientation of sun comes at front, the drone aerial picture quality starts decaying. It does not work in different types of fog. Also it is difficult to find people when they are somehow hidden in vegetation. This study explains about infrared cameras potentially very useful in disaster management especially in flood [6]. It takes deep learning networks that were originally developed for visible imagery [1], [2] and applying it to long wave infrared or thermal cameras. Most missions for public safety occur in remote areas where the terrain can be difficult to navigate and in some cases inaccessible. So the drone allows you to fly high above the trees see through gaps of foliage and locate your target even in the darkness of night through thermal cameras and then applying deep learning techniques to identify them as human. Creating accurate machine learning models capable of localizing and identifying human objects in a single image/video remained a challenge in computer vision but with recent advancement in drone, radiometric thermal imaging, deep learning based computer vision models it is possible now to support the rescue team to a bigger extent

As of 2020, the total area planted with crops in India overtook 125.78 million hectares. India is the second biggest organic product maker in the world. Thus, an Indian economy greatly depends on farming products. Nowadays, farmers suffer a drop in production due to a lot of diseases and pests. Thus, to overcome this problem, this article presents the artificial intelligence based deep learning approach for plant disease classification. Initially, the adaptive mean bilateral filter (AMBF) for noise removal and enhancement operations. Then, Gaussian kernel fuzzy C-means (GKFCM) approach is used to segment the effected disease regions. The optimal features from color, texture and shape features are extracted by using GLCM. Finally, Deep learning convolutional neural network (DLCNN) is used for the classification of five class diseases. The segmentation and classification performance of proposed method outperforms as compared with the state of art approaches.

AbstractThe success of deep learning has been shown in various fields including computer vision, speech recognition, natural language processing and bioinformatics. The advance of Deep Learning in Computer Vision has been an important source of inspiration for other research fields. The objective of this work is to adapt known deep learning models borrowed from computer vision such as VGGNet, Resnet and AlexNet for the classification of biological sequences. In particular, we are interested by the task of splice site identification based on raw DNA sequences. We focus on the role of model architecture depth on model training and classification performance.We show that deep learning models outperform traditional classification methods (SVM, Random Forests, and Logistic Regression) for large training sets of raw DNA sequences. Three model families are analyzed in this work namely VGGNet, AlexNet and ResNet. Three depth levels are defined for each model family. The models are benchmarked using the following metrics: Area Under ROC curve (AUC), Number of model parameters, number of floating operations. Our extensive experimental evaluation show that shallow architectures have an overall better performance than deep models. We introduced a shallow version of ResNet, named S-ResNet. We show that it gives a good trade-off between model complexity and classification performance.Author summaryDeep Learning has been widely applied to various fields in research and industry. It has been also succesfully applied to genomics and in particular to splice site identification. We are interested in the use of advanced neural networks borrowed from computer vision. We explored well-known models and their usability for the problem of splice site identification from raw sequences. Our extensive experimental analysis shows that shallow models outperform deep models. We introduce a new model called S-ResNet, which gives a good trade-off between computational complexity and classification accuracy.

AbstractSkin cancer is one of the most common types of cancer and, with its increasing incidence, accurate early diagnosis is crucial to improve prognosis of patients. In the process of visual inspection, dermatologists follow specific dermoscopic algorithms and identify important features to provide a diagnosis. This process can be automated as such characteristics can be extracted by computer vision techniques. Although deep neural networks can extract useful features from digital images for skin lesion classification, performance can be improved by providing additional information. The extracted pseudo-features can be used as input (multimodal) or output (multi-tasking) to train a robust deep learning model. This work investigates the multimodal and multi-tasking techniques for more efficient training, given the single optimization of several related tasks in the latter, and generation of better diagnosis predictions. Additionally, the role of lesion segmentation is also studied. Results show that multi-tasking improves learning of beneficial features which lead to better predictions, and pseudo-features inspired by the ABCD rule provide readily available helpful information about the skin lesion.

Histopathology Images

Breast cancer is one of the major public health issues and is considered a leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women worldwide. Its early diagnosis can effectively help in increasing the chances of survival rate. To this end, biopsy is usually followed as a gold standard approach in which tissues are collected for microscopic analysis. However, the histopathological analysis of breast cancer is non-trivial, labor-intensive, and may lead to a high degree of disagreement among pathologists. Therefore, an automatic diagnostic system could assist pathologists to improve the effectiveness of diagnostic processes. This paper presents an ensemble deep learning approach for the definite classification of non-carcinoma and carcinoma breast cancer histopathology images using our collected dataset. We trained four different models based on pre-trained VGG16 and VGG19 architectures. Initially, we followed 5-fold cross-validation operations on all the individual models, namely, fully-trained VGG16, fine-tuned VGG16, fully-trained VGG19, and fine-tuned VGG19 models. Then, we followed an ensemble strategy by taking the average of predicted probabilities and found that the ensemble of fine-tuned VGG16 and fine-tuned VGG19 performed competitive classification performance, especially on the carcinoma class. The ensemble of fine-tuned VGG16 and VGG19 models offered sensitivity of 97.73% for carcinoma class and overall accuracy of 95.29%. Also, it offered an F1 score of 95.29%. These experimental results demonstrated that our proposed deep learning approach is effective for the automatic classification of complex-natured histopathology images of breast cancer, more specifically for carcinoma images.

Visualization Techniques

Deep Learning (DL) networks are recent revolutionary developments in artificial intelligence research. Typical networks are stacked by groups of layers that are further composed of many convolutional kernels or neurons. In network design, many hyper-parameters need to be defined heuristically before training in order to achieve high cross-validation accuracies. However, accuracy evaluation from the output layer alone is not sufficient to specify the roles of the hidden units in associated networks. This results in a significant knowledge gap between DL’s wider applications and its limited theoretical understanding. To narrow the knowledge gap, our study explores visualization techniques to illustrate the mutual information (MI) in DL networks. The MI is a theoretical measurement, reflecting the relationship between two sets of random variables even if their relationship is highly non-linear and hidden in high-dimensional data. Our study aims to understand the roles of DL units in classification performance of the networks. Via a series of experiments using several popular DL networks, it shows that the visualization of MI and its change patterns between the input/output with the hidden layers and basic units can facilitate a better understanding of these DL units’ roles. Our investigation on network convergence suggests a more objective manner to potentially evaluate DL networks. Furthermore, the visualization provides a useful tool to gain insights into the network performance, and thus to potentially facilitate the design of better network architectures by identifying redundancy and less-effective network units.

Deep learning belongs to the field of artificial intelligence, where machines perform tasks that typically require some kind of human intelligence. Deep learning tries to achieve this by drawing inspiration from the learning of a human brain. Similar to the basic structure of a brain, which consists of (billions of) neurons and connections between them, a deep learning algorithm consists of an artificial neural network, which resembles the biological brain structure. Mimicking the learning process of humans with their senses, deep learning networks are fed with (sensory) data, like texts, images, videos or sounds. These networks outperform the state-of-the-art methods in different tasks and, because of this, the whole field saw an exponential growth during the last years. This growth resulted in way over 10,000 publications per year in the last years. For example, the search engine PubMed alone, which covers only a sub-set of all publications in the medical field, provides already over 11,000 results in Q3 2020 for the search term ‘deep learning’, and around 90% of these results are from the last three years. Consequently, a complete overview over the field of deep learning is already impossible to obtain and, in the near future, it will potentially become difficult to obtain an overview over a subfield. However, there are several review articles about deep learning, which are focused on specific scientific fields or applications, for example deep learning advances in computer vision or in specific tasks like object detection. With these surveys as a foundation, the aim of this contribution is to provide a first high-level, categorized meta-survey of selected reviews on deep learning across different scientific disciplines and outline the research impact that they already have during a short period of time. The categories (computer vision, language processing, medical informatics and additional works) have been chosen according to the underlying data sources (image, language, medical, mixed). In addition, we review the common architectures, methods, pros, cons, evaluations, challenges and future directions for every sub-category.
