The Impact

Sleep apnea (SA) is the most common respiratory sleep disorder, leading to some serious neurological and cardiovascular diseases if left untreated. The diagnosis of SA is traditionally made using Polysomnography (PSG). However, this method requires many electrodes and wires, as well as an expert to monitor the test. Several researchers have proposed instead using a single channel signal for SA diagnosis. Among these options, the ECG signal is one of the most physiologically relevant signals of SA occurrence, and one that can be easily recorded using a wearable device. However, existing ECG signal-based methods mainly use features (i.e. frequency domain, time domain, and other nonlinear features) acquired from ECG and its derived signals in order to construct the model. This requires researchers to have rich experience in ECG, which is not common. A convolutional neural network (CNN) is a kind of deep neural network that can automatically learn effective feature representation from training data and has been successfully applied in many fields. Meanwhile, most studies have not considered the impact of adjacent segments on SA detection. Therefore, in this study, we propose a modified LeNet-5 convolutional neural network with adjacent segments for SA detection. Our experimental results show that our proposed method is useful for SA detection, and achieves better or comparable results when compared with traditional machine learning methods.

The Impact

Although fingerprint-based systems are the commonly used biometric systems, they suffer from a critical vulnerability to a presentation attack (PA). Therefore, several approaches based on a fingerprint biometrics have been developed to increase the robustness against a PA. We propose an alternative approach based on the combination of fingerprint and electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. An ECG signal has advantageous characteristics that prevent the replication. Combining a fingerprint with an ECG signal is a potentially interesting solution to reduce the impact of PAs in biometric systems. We also propose a novel end-to-end deep learning-based fusion neural architecture between a fingerprint and an ECG signal to improve PA detection in fingerprint biometrics. Our model uses state-of-the-art EfficientNets for generating a fingerprint feature representation. For the ECG, we investigate three different architectures based on fully-connected layers (FC), a 1D-convolutional neural network (1D-CNN), and a 2D-convolutional neural network (2D-CNN). The 2D-CNN converts the ECG signals into an image and uses inverted Mobilenet-v2 layers for feature generation. We evaluated the method on a multimodal dataset, that is, a customized fusion of the LivDet 2015 fingerprint dataset and ECG data from real subjects. Experimental results reveal that this architecture yields a better average classification accuracy compared to a single fingerprint modality.

AbstractSleep apnea (SA) is a common disorder involving the cessation of breathing during sleep. It can cause daytime hypersomnia, accidents, and, if allowed to progress, serious, chronic conditions. Continuous positive airway pressure is an effective SA treatment. However, long waitlists impede timely diagnosis; overnight sleep studies involve trained technicians scoring a polysomnograph, which comprises multiple physiological signals including multi-channel electroencephalography (EEG). Therefore, it is important to develop simplified and automated approaches to detect SA. We have developed an explainable convolutional neural network (CNN) to detect SA from single-channel EEG recordings which generalizes across subjects. The network architecture consisted of three convolutional layers. We tuned hyperparameters using the Hyperband algorithm, optimized parameters using Adam, and quantified network performance with subjectwise 10-fold cross-validation. Our CNN performed with an accuracy of 76.7% and a Matthews correlation coefficient (MCC) of 0.54. This performance was reliably above the conservative baselines of 50% (accuracy) and 0.0 (MCC). To explain the mechanisms of our trained network, we used critical-band masking (CBM): after training, we added bandlimited noise to test recordings; we parametrically varied the noise band center frequency and noise intensity, quantifying the deleterious effect on performance. We reconciled the effects of CBM with lesioning, wherein we zeroed the trained network’s 1st-layer filter kernels in turn, quantifying the deleterious effect on performance. These analyses indicated that the network learned frequency-band information consistent with known SA biomarkers, specifically, delta and beta band activity. Our results indicate single-channel EEG may have clinical potential for SA diagnosis.

Sar Images

Despeckling is a longstanding topic in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. Recently, many convolutional neural network (CNN) based methods have been proposed and shown state-of-the-art performance for SAR despeckling problem. However, these CNN based methods always need many training data or can only deal with specific noise level. To solve these problems, we directly embed an efficient CNN pre-trained model for additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) with Multi-channel Logarithm with Gaussian denoising (MuLoG) algorithm to deal with the multiplicative noise in SAR images. This flexible pre-trained CNN model takes the noise level as input, thus only a single pre-trained model is needed to deal with different noise levels. We also use a detector to find the homogeneous region automatically to estimate the noise level of image as input. Embedded with MuLoG, our proposed filter can despeckle not only single channel but also multi-channel SAR images. Finally, both simulated and real (Pol)SAR images were tested in experiments, and the results show that the proposed method has better and more robust performance than others.

Leukemia is a kind of blood cancer that influences people of all ages and is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most widely recognized type of leukemia found in the bone marrow of the human body. Traditional disease diagnostic techniques like blood and bone marrow examinations are slow and painful, resulting in the demand for non-invasive and fast methods. This work presents a non-invasive, convolutional neural network (CNN) based approach that utilizes medical images to perform the diagnosis task. The proposed solution consisting of a CNN-based model uses an attention module called Efficient Channel Attention (ECA) with the visual geometry group from oxford (VGG16) to extract better quality deep features from the image dataset, leading to better feature representation and better classification results. The proposed method shows that the ECA module helps to overcome morphological similarities between ALL cancer and healthy cell images. Various augmentation techniques are also employed to increase the quality and quantity of training data. We used the classification of normal vs. malignant cells (C-NMC) dataset and divided it into seven folds based on subject-level variability, which is usually ignored in previous methods. Experimental results show that our proposed CNN model can successfully extract deep features and achieved an accuracy of 91.1%. The obtained findings show that the proposed method may be utilized to diagnose ALL and would help pathologists.
