scholarly journals Machine Learning and Deep Learning Techniques, Features and Obstacles in the Cataract Diagnosis

Cataract is a degenerative condition that, according to estimations, will rise globally. Even though there are various proposals about its diagnosis, there are remaining problems to be solved. This paper aims to identify the current situation of the recent investigations on cataract diagnosis using a framework to conduct the literature review with the intention of answering the following research questions: RQ1) Which are the existing methods for cataract diagnosis? RQ2) Which are the features considered for the diagnosis of cataracts? RQ3) Which is the existing classification when diagnosing cataracts? RQ4) And Which obstacles arise when diagnosing cataracts? Additionally, a cross-analysis of the results was made. The results showed that new research is required in: (1) the classification of “congenital cataract” and, (2) portable solutions, which are necessary to make cataract diagnoses easily and at a low cost.

To recognize patterns that are usually imperceptible by human beings has been one of the main advantages of using machine learning algorithms The use of Deep Learning techniques has been promising to the classification problems, especially the ones related to image classification. The classification of gases detected by an artificial nose is one other area where Deep Learning techniques can be used to seek classification improvements. Succeeding in a classification task can result in many advantages to quality control, as well as to preventing accidents. In this work, it is presented some Deep Learning models specifically created to the task of gas classification.

Gene promoters are the key DNA regulatory elements positioned around the transcription start sites and are responsible for regulating gene transcription process. Various alignment-based, signal-based and content-based approaches are reported for the prediction of promoters. However, since all promoter sequences do not show explicit features, the prediction performance of these techniques is poor. Therefore, many machine learning and deep learning models have been proposed for promoter prediction. In this work, we studied methods for vector encoding and promoter classification using genome sequences of three distinct higher eukaryotes viz. yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), A. thaliana (plant) and human (Homo sapiens). We compared one-hot vector encoding method with frequency-based tokenization (FBT) for data pre-processing on 1-D Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model. We found that FBT gives a shorter input dimension reducing the training time without affecting the sensitivity and specificity of classification. We employed the deep learning techniques, mainly CNN and recurrent neural network with Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) and random forest (RF) classifier for promoter classification at k-mer sizes of 2, 4 and 8. We found CNN to be superior in classification of promoters from non-promoter sequences (binary classification) as well as species-specific classification of promoter sequences (multiclass classification). In summary, the contribution of this work lies in the use of synthetic shuffled negative dataset and frequency-based tokenization for pre-processing. This study provides a comprehensive and generic framework for classification tasks in genomic applications and can be extended to various classification problems.

The purpose of this research was to provide a “systematic literature review” of knee bone reports that are obtained by MRI, CT scans, and X-rays by using deep learning and machine learning techniques by comparing different approaches—to perform a comprehensive study on the deep learning and machine learning methodologies to diagnose knee bone diseases by detecting symptoms from X-ray, CT scan, and MRI images. This study will help those researchers who want to conduct research in the knee bone field. A comparative systematic literature review was conducted for the accomplishment of our work. A total of 32 papers were reviewed in this research. Six papers consist of X-rays of knee bone with deep learning methodologies, five papers cover the MRI of knee bone using deep learning approaches, and another five papers cover CT scans of knee bone with deep learning techniques. Another 16 papers cover the machine learning techniques for evaluating CT scans, X-rays, and MRIs of knee bone. This research compares the deep learning methodologies for CT scan, MRI, and X-ray reports on knee bone, comparing the accuracy of each technique, which can be used for future development. In the future, this research will be enhanced by comparing X-ray, CT-scan, and MRI reports of knee bone with information retrieval and big data techniques. The results show that deep learning techniques are best for X-ray, MRI, and CT scan images of the knee bone to diagnose diseases.

Objective Anticipating fetal risk is a major factor in reducing child and maternal mortality and suffering. In this context cardiotocography (CTG) is a low cost, well established procedure that has been around for decades, despite lacking consensus regarding its impact on outcomes. Machine learning emerged as an option for automatic classification of CTG records, as previous studies showed expert level results, but often came at the price of reduced generalization potential. With that in mind, the present study sought to improve statistical rigor of evaluation towards real world application. Materials and Methods In this study, a dataset of 2126 CTG recordings labeled as normal, suspect or pathological by the consensus of three expert obstetricians was used to create a baseline random forest model. This was followed by creating a lightgbm model tuned using gaussian process regression and post processed using cross validation ensembling. Performance was assessed using the area under the precision-recall curve (AUPRC) metric over 100 experiment executions, each using a testing set comprised of 30% of data stratified by the class label. Results The best model was a cross validation ensemble of lightgbm models that yielded 95.82% AUPRC. Conclusions The model is shown to produce consistent expert level performance at a less than negligible cost. At an estimated 0.78 USD per million predictions the model can generate value in settings with CTG qualified personnel and all the more in their absence.

There are thousands of species of Mushrooms in the world; they are edible and non-edible being poisonous. It is difficult for non-expertise person to Identify poisonous and edible mushroom of all the species manually. So a computer aided system with software or algorithm is required to classify poisonous and nonpoisonous mushrooms. In this paper a literature review is presented on classification of poisonous and nonpoisonous mushrooms. Most of the research works to classify the type of mushroom have applied, machine learning techniques like Naïve Bayes, K-Neural Network, Support vector Machine(SVM), Artificial Neural Network(ANN), Decision Tree techniques. In this literature review, a summary and comparisons of all different techniques of mushroom classification in terms of its performance parameters, merits and demerits faced during the classification of mushrooms using machine learning techniques.


Digital image processing is a rising field for the investigation of complicated diseases such as brain tumor, breast cancer, kidney stones, lung cancer, ovarian cancer, and cervix cancer and so on. The recognition of the brain tumor is considered to be a very critical task. A number of approaches are used for the scanning of a particular body part like CT scan, X-rays, and Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI). These pictures are then examined by the surgeons for the removal of the problem. The main objective of examining these MRI images (mainly) is to extract the meaningful information with high accuracy. Machine Learning and Deep Learning algorithms are mainly used for analysing the medical images which can identify, localize and classify the brain tumor into sub categories, according to which the diagnosis would be done by the professionals. In this paper, we have discussed the different techniques that are used for tumor pre-processing, segmentation, localization, extraction of features and classification and summarize more than 30 contributions to this field. Also, we discussed the existing state-of-the-art, literature gaps, open challenges and future scope in this area.
