Radiomics with deep learning models have become popular in computer-aided diagnosis and have outperformed human experts on many clinical tasks. Specifically, radiomic models based on artificial intelligence (AI) are using medical data (i.e., images, molecular data, clinical variables, etc.) for predicting clinical tasks such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD). In this review, we summarized and discussed the radiomic techniques used for ASD analysis. Currently, the limited radiomic work of ASD is related to the variation of morphological features of brain thickness that is different from texture analysis. These techniques are based on imaging shape features that can be used with predictive models for predicting ASD. This review explores the progress of ASD-based radiomics with a brief description of ASD and the current non-invasive technique used to classify between ASD and healthy control (HC) subjects. With AI, new radiomic models using the deep learning techniques will be also described. To consider the texture analysis with deep CNNs, more investigations are suggested to be integrated with additional validation steps on various MRI sites.

Molecular property prediction is an essential task in drug discovery. Most computational approaches with deep learning techniques either focus on designing novel molecular representation or combining with some advanced models together. However, researchers pay fewer attention to the potential benefits in massive unlabeled molecular data (e.g., ZINC). This task becomes increasingly challenging owing to the limitation of the scale of labeled data. Motivated by the recent advancements of pretrained models in natural language processing, the drug molecule can be naturally viewed as language to some extent. In this paper, we investigate how to develop the pretrained model BERT to extract useful molecular substructure information for molecular property prediction. We present a novel end-to-end deep learning framework, named Mol-BERT, that combines an effective molecular representation with pretrained BERT model tailored for molecular property prediction. Specifically, a large-scale prediction BERT model is pretrained to generate the embedding of molecular substructures, by using four million unlabeled drug SMILES (i.e., ZINC 15 and ChEMBL 27). Then, the pretrained BERT model can be fine-tuned on various molecular property prediction tasks. To examine the performance of our proposed Mol-BERT, we conduct several experiments on 4 widely used molecular datasets. In comparison to the traditional and state-of-the-art baselines, the results illustrate that our proposed Mol-BERT can outperform the current sequence-based methods and achieve at least 2% improvement on ROC-AUC score on Tox21, SIDER, and ClinTox dataset.

With recent focus on deep neural network architectures for development of algorithms for computer-aided diagnosis (CAD), we provide a review of studies within the last 3 years (2015-2017) reported in selected top journals and conferences. 29 studies that met our inclusion criteria were reviewed to identify trends in this field and to inform future development. Studies have focused mostly on cancer-related diseases within internal medicine while diseases within gender-/age-focused fields like gynaecology/pediatrics have not received much focus. All reviewed studies employed image datasets, mostly sourced from publicly available databases (55.2%) and few based on data from human subjects (31%) and non-medical datasets (13.8%), while CNN architecture was employed in most (70%) of the studies. Confirmation of the effect of data manipulation on quality of output and adoption of multi-class rather than binary classification also require more focus. Future studies should leverage collaborations with medical experts to aid future with actual clinical testing with reporting based on some generally applicable index to enable comparison. Our next steps on plans for CAD development for osteoarthritis (OA), with plans to consider multi-class classification and comparison across deep learning approaches and unsupervised architectures were also highlighted.

<p>Machine learning is being presented as a new solution for a wide range of geoscience problems. Primarily machine learning has been used for 3D seismic data processing, seismic facies analysis and well log data correlation. The rapid development in technology with open-source artificial intelligence libraries and the accessibility of affordable computer graphics processing units (GPU) makes the application of machine learning in geosciences increasingly tractable. However, the application of artificial intelligence in structural interpretation workflows of subsurface datasets is still ambiguous. This study aims to use machine learning techniques to classify images of folds and fold-thrust structures. Here we show that convolutional neural networks (CNNs) as supervised deep learning techniques provide excellent algorithms to discriminate between geological image datasets. Four different datasets of images have been used to train and test the machine learning models. These four datasets are a seismic character dataset with five classes (faults, folds, salt, flat layers and basement), folds types with three classes (buckle, chevron and conjugate), fault types with three classes (normal, reverse and thrust) and fold-thrust geometries with three classes (fault bend fold, fault propagation fold and detachment fold). These image datasets are used to investigate three machine learning models. One Feedforward linear neural network model and two convolutional neural networks models (Convolution 2d layer transforms sequential model and Residual block model (ResNet with 9, 34, and 50 layers)). Validation and testing datasets forms a critical part of testing the model’s performance accuracy. The ResNet model records the highest performance accuracy score, of the machine learning models tested. Our CNN image classification model analysis provides a framework for applying machine learning to increase structural interpretation efficiency, and shows that CNN classification models can be applied effectively to geoscience problems. The study provides a starting point to apply unsupervised machine learning approaches to sub-surface structural interpretation workflows.</p>

AbstractElectroencephalography (EEG) is a well-established non-invasive technique to measure the brain activity, albeit with a limited spatial resolution. Variations in electric conductivity between different tissues distort the electric fields generated by cortical sources, resulting in smeared potential measurements on the scalp. One needs to solve an ill-posed inverse problem to recover the original neural activity. In this article, we present a generic method of recovering the cortical potentials from the EEG measurement by introducing a new inverse-problem solver based on deep Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) in paired (U-Net) and unpaired (DualGAN) configurations. The solvers were trained on synthetic EEG-ECoG pairs that were generated using a head conductivity model computed using the Finite Element Method (FEM). These solvers are the first of their kind, that provide robust translation of EEG data to the cortex surface using deep learning. Providing a fast and accurate interpretation of the tracked EEG signal, our approach promises a boost to the spatial resolution of the future EEG devices.

This article describes the contribution of artificial intelligence (AI) to the literature collection process, which has become more efficient and more homogeneous. In this context, the researcher will receive his literature not only according to his field. Moreover, the literature is strongly linked to scientific and academic ambitions. AI through its deep learning techniques offers the possibility of speeding up the process of collecting augmented literature via an approach based on the annotation of scientific names and none-scientific names related to the field. AI provides original or reproduced research avenues with reliable and precise results. In this article, we have highlighted how to develop conceptual framework based on scientific and none-scientific names related to the area of expertise, all ensuring the reproducibility, reliability and accuracy of the study.

Artificial Intelligence (AI), including deep learning, is currently revolutionising the field of medical imaging, with far reaching implications for almost every facet of diagnostic imaging, including patient radiation safety. This paper introduces basic concepts in deep learning and provides an overview of its recent history and its application in tomographic reconstruction as well as other applications in medical imaging to reduce patient radiation dose, as well as a brief description of previous tomographic reconstruction techniques. This review also describes the commonly used deep learning techniques as applied to tomographic reconstruction and draws parallels to current reconstruction techniques. Finally, this paper reviews some of the estimated dose reductions in computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tomography (PET) in the recent literature enabled by deep learning, as well as some of the potential problems that may be encountered such as the obscuration of pathology, and highlights the need for additional clinical reader studies from the imaging community.

Digitalization is the buzz word today by which every walk of our life has been computerized, and it has made our life more sophisticated. On one side, we are enjoying the privilege of digitalization. On the other side, security of our information in the internet is the most concerning element. A variety of security mechanisms, namely cryptography, algorithms which provide access to protected information, and authentication including biometric and steganography, provide security to our information in the Internet. In spite of the above mechanisms, recently artificial intelligence (AI) also contributes towards strengthening information security by providing machine learning and deep learning-based security mechanisms. The artificial intelligence (AI) contribution to cyber security is important as it serves as a provoked reaction and a response to hackers' malicious actions. The purpose of this chapter is to survey recent papers which are contributing to information security by using machine learning and deep learning techniques.

Photo-identification is a widely used non-invasive technique in biological studies for understanding if a specimen has been seen multiple times only relying on specific unique visual characteristics. This information is essential to infer knowledge about the spatial distribution, site fidelity, abundance or habitat use of a species. Today there is a large demand for algorithms that can help domain experts in the analysis of large image datasets. For this reason, it is straightforward that the problem of identify and crop the relevant portion of an image is not negligible in any photo-identification pipeline. This paper approaches the problem of automatically cropping cetaceans images with a hybrid technique based on domain analysis and deep learning. Domain knowledge is applied for proposing relevant regions with the aim of highlighting the dorsal fins, then a binary classification of fin vs. no-fin is performed by a convolutional neural network. Results obtained on real images demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed approach in the automated process of large datasets of Risso’s dolphins photos, enabling its use on more complex large scale studies. Moreover, the results of this study suggest to extend this methodology to biological investigations of different species.
