The purpose of this study was to classify ULTT videos through transfer learning with pre-trained deep learning models and compare the performance of the models. We conducted transfer learning by combining a pre-trained convolution neural network (CNN) model into a Python-produced deep learning process. Videos were processed on YouTube and 103,116 frames converted from video clips were analyzed. In the modeling implementation, the process of importing the required modules, performing the necessary data preprocessing for training, defining the model, compiling, model creation, and model fit were applied in sequence. Comparative models were Xception, InceptionV3, DenseNet201, NASNetMobile, DenseNet121, VGG16, VGG19, and ResNet101, and fine tuning was performed. They were trained in a high-performance computing environment, and validation and loss were measured as comparative indicators of performance. Relatively low validation loss and high validation accuracy were obtained from Xception, InceptionV3, and DenseNet201 models, which is evaluated as an excellent model compared with other models. On the other hand, from VGG16, VGG19, and ResNet101, relatively high validation loss and low validation accuracy were obtained compared with other models. There was a narrow range of difference between the validation accuracy and the validation loss of the Xception, InceptionV3, and DensNet201 models. This study suggests that training applied with transfer learning can classify ULTT videos, and that there is a difference in performance between models.

Since the introduction of image pattern recognition and computer vision processing, the classification of cancer tissues has been a challenge at pixel-level, slide-level, and patient-level. Conventional machine learning techniques have given way to Deep Learning (DL), a contemporary, state-of-the-art approach to texture classification and localization of cancer tissues. Colorectal Cancer (CRC) is the third ranked cause of death from cancer worldwide. This paper proposes image-level texture classification of a CRC dataset by deep convolutional neural networks (CNN). Simple DL techniques consisting of transfer learning and fine-tuning were exploited. VGG-16, a Keras pre-trained model with initial weights by ImageNet, was applied. The transfer learning architecture and methods responding to VGG-16 are proposed. The training, validation, and testing sets included 5000 images of 150 × 150 pixels. The application set for detection and localization contained 10 large original images of 5000 × 5000 pixels. The model achieved F1-score and accuracy of 0.96 and 0.99, respectively, and produced a false positive rate of 0.01. AUC-based evaluation was also measured. The model classified ten large previously unseen images from the application set represented in false color maps. The reported results show the satisfactory performance of the model. The simplicity of the architecture, configuration, and implementation also contributes to the outcome this work.

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.

Weld defects detection using X-ray images is an effective method of nondestructive testing. Conventionally, this work is based on qualified human experts, although it requires their personal intervention for the extraction and classification of heterogeneity. Many approaches have been done using machine learning (ML) and image processing tools to solve those tasks. Although the detection and classification have been enhanced with regard to the problems of low contrast and poor quality, their result is still unsatisfying. Unlike the previous research based on ML, this paper proposes a novel classification method based on deep learning network. In this work, an original approach based on the use of the pretrained network AlexNet architecture aims at the classification of the shortcomings of welds and the increase of the correct recognition in our dataset. Transfer learning is used as methodology with the pretrained AlexNet model. For deep learning applications, a large amount of X-ray images is required, but there are few datasets of pipeline welding defects. For this, we have enhanced our dataset focusing on two types of defects and augmented using data augmentation (random image transformations over data such as translation and reflection). Finally, a fine-tuning technique is applied to classify the welding images and is compared to the deep convolutional activation features (DCFA) and several pretrained DCNN models, namely, VGG-16, VGG-19, ResNet50, ResNet101, and GoogLeNet. The main objective of this work is to explore the capacity of AlexNet and different pretrained architecture with transfer learning for the classification of X-ray images. The accuracy achieved with our model is thoroughly presented. The experimental results obtained on the weld dataset with our proposed model are validated using GDXray database. The results obtained also in the validation test set are compared to the others offered by DCNN models, which show a best performance in less time. This can be seen as evidence of the strength of our proposed classification model.

Due to the strong speckle noise caused by the seabed reverberation which makes it difficult to extract discriminating and noiseless features of a target, recognition and classification of underwater targets using side-scan sonar (SSS) images is a big challenge. Moreover, unlike classification of optical images which can use a large dataset to train the classifier, classification of SSS images usually has to exploit a very small dataset for training, which may cause classifier overfitting. Compared with traditional feature extraction methods using descriptors—such as Haar, SIFT, and LBP—deep learning-based methods are more powerful in capturing discriminating features. After training on a large optical dataset, e.g., ImageNet, direct fine-tuning method brings improvement to the sonar image classification using a small-size SSS image dataset. However, due to the different statistical characteristics between optical images and sonar images, transfer learning methods—e.g., fine-tuning—lack cross-domain adaptability, and therefore cannot achieve very satisfactory results. In this paper, a multi-domain collaborative transfer learning (MDCTL) method with multi-scale repeated attention mechanism (MSRAM) is proposed for improving the accuracy of underwater sonar image classification. In the MDCTL method, low-level characteristic similarity between SSS images and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images, and high-level representation similarity between SSS images and optical images are used together to enhance the feature extraction ability of the deep learning model. Using different characteristics of multi-domain data to efficiently capture useful features for the sonar image classification, MDCTL offers a new way for transfer learning. MSRAM is used to effectively combine multi-scale features to make the proposed model pay more attention to the shape details of the target excluding the noise. Experimental results of classification show that, in using multi-domain data sets, the proposed method is more stable with an overall accuracy of 99.21%, bringing an improvement of 4.54% compared with the fine-tuned VGG19. Results given by diverse visualization methods also demonstrate that the method is more powerful in feature representation by using the MDCTL and MSRAM.

Satellite image time series (SITS) classification is a major research topic in remote sensing and is relevant for a wide range of applications. Deep learning approaches have been commonly employed for SITS classification and have provided state-of-the-art performance. However, deep learning methods suffer from overfitting when labeled data is scarce. To address this problem, we propose a novel self-supervised pre-training scheme to initialize a Transformer-based network by utilizing large-scale unlabeled data. In detail, the model is asked to predict randomly contaminated observations given an entire time series of a pixel. The main idea of our proposal is to leverage the inherent temporal structure of satellite time series to learn general-purpose spectral-temporal representations related to land cover semantics. Once pre-training is completed, the pre-trained network can be further adapted to various SITS classification tasks by fine-tuning all the model parameters on small-scale task-related labeled data. In this way, the general knowledge and representations about SITS can be transferred to a label-scarce task, thereby improving the generalization performance of the model as well as reducing the risk of overfitting. Comprehensive experiments have been carried out on three benchmark datasets over large study areas. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, leading to a classification accuracy increment up to 1.91% to 6.69%. <div><b>This work has been submitted to the IEEE for possible publication.

Deep learning approaches have attracted a lot of attention in the automatic detection of Covid-19 and transfer learning is the most common approach. However, majority of the pre-trained models are trained on color images, which can cause inefficiencies when fine-tuning the models on Covid-19 images which are often grayscale. To address this issue, we propose a deep learning architecture called CovidNet which requires a relatively smaller number of parameters. CovidNet accepts grayscale images as inputs and is suitable for training with limited training dataset. Experimental results show that CovidNet outperforms other state-of-the-art deep learning models for Covid-19 detection.

Chest X-rays have been found to be very promising for assessing COVID-19 patients, especially for resolving emergency-department and urgent-care-center overcapacity. Deep-learning (DL) methods in artificial intelligence (AI) play a dominant role as high-performance classifiers in the detection of the disease using chest X-rays. While many new DL models have been being developed for this purpose, this study aimed to investigate the fine tuning of pretrained convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for the classification of COVID-19 using chest X-rays. Three pretrained CNNs, which are AlexNet, GoogleNet, and SqueezeNet, were selected and fine-tuned without data augmentation to carry out 2-class and 3-class classification tasks using 3 public chest X-ray databases. In comparison with other recently developed DL models, the 3 pretrained CNNs achieved very high classification results in terms of accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, precision, F1 score, and area under the receiver-operating-characteristic curve. AlexNet, GoogleNet, and SqueezeNet require the least training time among pretrained DL models, but with suitable selection of training parameters, excellent classification results can be achieved without data augmentation by these networks. The findings contribute to the urgent need for harnessing the pandemic by facilitating the deployment of AI tools that are fully automated and readily available in the public domain for rapid implementation.
