Hybrid Method of Local Binary Pattern and Classification Tree for Early Breast Cancer Detection by Mammogram Classification

- Breast cancer is an alarming disease due to a mutation in breast cells and it is one type of cancer among women which highly leads to their death. One of the most effective tools for early detection of breast cancer is mammography, which is a screening tool used to examine the human breast by using low-dose amplitude X-rays. Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) is used as an important tool to help the medical professionals for classifying breast tissues into a different class. Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) can be used to reduce human error in reading the mammograms and it shows effective results in the classification of benign and malignant abnormalities. The proposed method presents a new classification approach to detect the abnormalities in mammograms using Local Binary Pattern and Decision Tree Classification. A Uniform Local Binary Pattern(uLBP) is an extension of the original Local Binary Pattern in which only patterns that contain at most two transitions from 0 to 1 (or vice versa) are considered. In uniform Local Binary Pattern (LBP) mapping, there is a separate output label for each uniform pattern and all then on uniform patterns are assigned to a single label. These patterns are utilized to detect breast cancer by classification employing the Decision Tree Classification. Specificity and sensitivity are the two statistical measures used in this proposed method to verify and measure the significance of the test related to abnormalities in the breast tissues. Thus, it can be a measurement of performance tests for classifying the patients who do and do not suffer from cancer. The mini-MIAS mammography database is employed for testing the accuracy of the proposed method and the results are promising.

Image based effective feature generation for protein structural class and ligand binding prediction

Proteins are the building blocks of all cells in both human and all our living creatures of the world. Most of the work in the living organism is performed by Proteins. Proteins are polymers of amino acid monomers which are biomolecules or macromolecules. The tertiary structure of protein represents the three-dimensional shape of a protein. The functions, classification and binding sites are governed by protein’s tertiary structure. If two protein structures are alike then the two proteins can be of the same kind implying similar structural class and ligand binding properties. In this paper, we have used protein structure to generate effective features for applications in structural similarity to detect structural class and ligand binding. Firstly, we analyze the effectiveness of a group of image based features to predict the structural class of a protein. These features are derived from the image generated by the distance matrix of the tertiary structure of a given protein. They include local binary pattern histogram, Gabor filtered local binary pattern histogram, separate row multiplication matrix with uniform local binary pattern histogram, neighbour block subtraction matrix with uniform local binary pattern histogram and atom bond. The experiments were done on a standard benchmark dataset. We have demonstrated the effectiveness of these features over a large variety of supervised machine learning algorithms. Experiments suggest Random Forest is the best performing classifier on the selected dataset using the set of features. We believe the excellent performance of Hybrid LBP in terms of accuracy would motivate the researchers and practitioners to use it to identify protein structural class. To facilitate that, a classification model using Hybrid LBP is readily available for use at http://brl.uiu.ac.bd/PL/. Protein-Ligand binding is accountable for managing the tasks of biological receptors that helps to cure diseases and many more. So, binding prediction between protein and ligand is important for understanding a protein’s activity or to accelerate docking computations in virtual screening-based drug design. Protein-Ligand Binding Prediction requires three-dimensional tertiary structure of the target protein to be searched for ligand binding. In this paper, we’ve proposed a supervised learning algorithm for predicting Protein-Ligand Binding which is a Similarity-Based Clustering approach using the same set of features. Our algorithm works better than most popular and widely used machine learning algorithms
