Machine learning requires a human description of the data. The manual dataset description is very time consuming. In this article was examined how the model learns from artificially created images, with the least human participation in describing the data. It was checked how the model learned on artificially produced images with augmentations and progressive image size. The model has achieve up to 3.35 higher mean average precision on syntetic dataset in the training with increasing images resolution. Augmentations improved the quality of detection on real photos. The production of artificially generated training data has a great impact on the acceleration of prepare training, because it does not require as much human resources as normal learning process.

YTNR (Yunnan Tongbiguan Nature Reserve) is located in the westernmost part of China’s tropical regions and is the only area in China with the tropical biota of the Irrawaddy River system. The reserve has abundant tropical flora and fauna resources. In order to realize the real-time detection of wild animals in this area, this paper proposes an improved YOLO (You only look once) network. The original YOLO model can achieve higher detection accuracy, but due to the complex model structure, it cannot achieve a faster detection speed on the CPU detection platform. Therefore, the lightweight network MobileNet is introduced to replace the backbone feature extraction network in YOLO, which realizes real-time detection on the CPU platform. In response to the difficulty in collecting wild animal image data, the research team deployed 50 high-definition cameras in the study area and conducted continuous observations for more than 1,000 hours. In the end, this research uses 1410 images of wildlife collected in the field and 1577 wildlife images from the internet to construct a research data set combined with the manual annotation of domain experts. At the same time, transfer learning is introduced to solve the problem of insufficient training data and the network is difficult to fit. The experimental results show that our model trained on a training set containing 2419 animal images has a mean average precision of 93.6% and an FPS (Frame Per Second) of 3.8 under the CPU. Compared with YOLO, the mean average precision is increased by 7.7%, and the FPS value is increased by 3.

<div>There are millions of scanned documents worldwide in around 4 thousand languages. Searching for information in a scanned document requires a text layer to be available and indexed. Preparation of a text layer requires recognition of character and sub-region patterns and associating with a human interpretation. Developing an optical character recognition (OCR) system for each and every language is a very difficult task if not impossible. There is a strong need for systems that add on top of the existing OCR technologies by learning from them and unifying disparate multitude of many a system. In this regard, we propose an algorithm that leverages the fact that we are dealing with scanned documents of handwritten text regions from across diverse domains and language settings. We observe that the text regions have consistent bounding box sizes and any large font or tiny font scenarios can be handled in preprocessing or postprocessing phases. The image subregions are smaller in size in scanned text documents compared to subregions formed by common objects in general purpose images. We propose and validate the hypothesis that a much simpler convolution neural network (CNN) having very few layers and less number of filters can be used for detecting individual subregion classes. For detection of several hundreds of classes, multiple such simpler models can be pooled to operate simultaneously on a document. The advantage of going by pools of subregion specific models is the ability to deal with incremental addition of hundreds of newer classes over time, without disturbing the previous models in the continual learning scenario. Such an approach has distinctive advantage over using a single monolithic model where subregions classes share and interfere via a bulky common neural network. We report here an efficient algorithm for building a subregion specific lightweight CNN models. The training data for the CNN proposed, requires engineering synthetic data points that consider both pattern of interest and non-patterns as well. We propose and validate the hypothesis that an image canvas in which optimal amount of pattern and non-pattern can be formulated using a means squared error loss function to influence filter for training from the data. The CNN hence trained has the capability to identify the character-object in presence of several other objects on a generalized test image of a scanned document. In this setting some of the key observations are in a CNN, learning a filter depends not only on the abundance of patterns of interest but also on the presence of a non-pattern context. Our experiments have led to some of the key observations - (i) a pattern cannot be over-expressed in isolation, (ii) a pattern cannot be under-xpressed as well, (iii) a non-pattern can be of salt and pepper type noise and finally (iv) it is sufficient to provide a non-pattern context to a modest representation of a pattern to result in strong individual sub-region class models. We have carried out studies and reported \textit{mean average precision} scores on various data sets including (1) MNIST digits(95.77), (2) E-MNIST capital alphabet(81.26), (3) EMNIST small alphabet(73.32) (4) Kannada digits(95.77), (5) Kannada letters(90.34), (6) Devanagari letters(100) (7) Telugu words(93.20) (8) Devanagari words(93.20) and also on medical prescriptions and observed high-performance metrics of mean average precision over 90%. The algorithm serves as a kernel in the automatic annotation of digital documents in diverse scenarios such as annotation of ancient manuscripts and hand-written health records.</div>

AbstractMicroRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in the post-transcriptional regulation of protein abundance and thus have a great impact on the resulting phenotype. It is, therefore, no wonder that they have been implicated in many diseases ranging from virus infections to cancer. This impact on the phenotype leads to a great interest in establishing the miRNAs of an organism. Experimental methods are complicated which led to the development of computational methods for pre-miRNA detection. Such methods generally employ machine learning to establish models for the discrimination between miRNAs and other sequences. Positive training data for model establishment, for the most part, stems from miRBase, the miRNA registry. The quality of the entries in miRBase has been questioned, though. This unknown quality led to the development of filtering strategies in attempts to produce high quality positive datasets which can lead to a scarcity of positive data. To analyze the quality of filtered data we developed a machine learning model and found it is well able to establish data quality based on intrinsic measures. Additionally, we analyzed which features describing pre-miRNAs could discriminate between low and high quality data. Both models are applicable to data from miRBase and can be used for establishing high quality positive data. This will facilitate the development of better miRNA detection tools which will make the prediction of miRNAs in disease states more accurate. Finally, we applied both models to all miRBase data and provide the list of high quality hairpins.

This paper proposes a more comprehensive look at the ideas of KS and Area Under the Curve (AUC) of a cumulative gains chart to develop a model quality statistic which can be used agnostically to evaluate the quality of a wide range of models in a standardized fashion. It can be either used holistically on the entire range of the model or at a given decision threshold of the model. Further it can be extended into the model learning process.

(1) Background: the use of machine learning techniques for the purpose of anticipating hypoglycemia has increased considerably in the past few years. Hypoglycemia is the drop in blood glucose below critical levels in diabetic patients. This may cause loss of cognitive ability, seizures, and in extreme cases, death. In almost half of all the severe cases, hypoglycemia arrives unannounced and is essentially asymptomatic. The inability of a diabetic patient to anticipate and intervene the occurrence of a hypoglycemic event often results in crisis. Hence, the prediction of hypoglycemia is a vital step in improving the life quality of a diabetic patient. The objective of this paper is to review work performed in the domain of hypoglycemia prediction by using machine learning and also to explore the latest trends and challenges that the researchers face in this area; (2) Methods: literature obtained from PubMed and Google Scholar was reviewed. Manuscripts from the last five years were searched for this purpose. A total of 903 papers were initially selected of which 57 papers were eventually shortlisted for detailed review; (3) Results: a thorough dissection of the shortlisted manuscripts provided an interesting split between the works based on two categories: hypoglycemia prediction and hypoglycemia detection. The entire review was carried out keeping this categorical distinction in perspective while providing a thorough overview of the machine learning approaches used to anticipate hypoglycemia, the type of training data, and the prediction horizon.

This paper presents an efficient method for finding fractures in bones. For this purpose, the pre-processing set includes increasing the quality of images, removing additional objects, removing noise and rotating images. The input images then enter the machine learning phase to detect the final fracture. At this stage, a Convolutional Neural Networks is created by Genetic Programming (GP). In this way, learning models are implemented in the form of GP programs. And evolve during the evolution of this program. Then finally the best program for classifying incoming images is selected. The data set in this work is divided into training and test friends who have nothing in common. The ratio of training data to test is equal to 80 to 20. Finally, experimental results show good results for the proposed method for bone fractures.
