Pneumonia detection on chest X-rays from Xception-based transfer learning and logistic regression

Pneumonia is a dangerous disease that kills millions of children and elderly patients worldwide every year. The detection of pneumonia from a chest x-ray is perpetrated by expert radiologists. The chest x-ray is cheaper and is most often used to diagnose pneumonia. However, chest x-ray-based diagnosis requires expert radiologists which is time-consuming and laborious. Moreover, COVID-19 and pneumonia have similar symptoms which leads to false positives. Machine learning-based solutions have been proposed for the automatic prediction of pneumonia from chest X-rays, however, such approaches lack robustness and high accuracy due to data imbalance and generalization errors. This study focuses on elevating the performance of machine learning models by dealing with data imbalanced problems using data augmentation. Contrary to traditional machine learning models that required hand-crafted features, this study uses transfer learning for automatic feature extraction using Xception and VGG-16 to train classifiers like support vector machine, logistic regression, K nearest neighbor, stochastic gradient descent, extra tree classifier, and gradient boosting machine. Experiments involve the use of hand-crafted features, as well as, transfer learning-based feature extraction for pneumonia detection. Performance comparison using Xception and VGG-16 features suggest that transfer learning-based features tend to show better performance than hand-crafted features and an accuracy of 99.23% can be obtained for pneumonia using chest X-rays.

Prediction of femoral head collapse in osteonecrosis using deep learning segmentation and radiomics texture analysis of MRI

BackgroundFemoral head collapse is a critical pathological change and is regarded as turning point in disease progression in osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). In this study, we aim to build an automatic femoral head collapse prediction pipeline for ONFH based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) radiomics.MethodsIn the segmentation model development dataset, T1-weighted MRI of 222 hips from two hospitals were retrospectively collected and randomly split into training (n = 190) and test (n = 32) sets. In the prognosis prediction model development dataset, 206 hips were also retrospectively collected from two hospitals and divided into training set (n = 155) and external test set (n = 51) according to data source. A deep learning model for automatic lesion segmentation was trained with nnU-Net, from which three-dimensional regions of interest were segmented and a total of 107 radiomics features were extracted. After intra-class correlation coefficients screening, feature correlation coefficient screening and Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator regression feature selection, a machine learning model for ONFH prognosis prediction was trained with Logistic Regression (LR) and Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LightGBM) algorithm.ResultsThe segmentation model achieved an average dice similarity coefficient of 0.848 and an average 95% Hausdorff distance of 3.794 in the test set, compared to the manual segmentation results. After feature selection, nine radiomics features were included in the prognosis prediction model. External test showed that the LightGBM model exhibited acceptable predictive performance. The area under the curve (AUC) of the prediction model was 0.851 (95% CI: 0.7268–0.9752), with an accuracy of 0.765, sensitivity of 0.833, and specificity of 0.727. Decision curve analysis showed that the LightGBM model exhibited favorable clinical utility.ConclusionThis study presents an automated pipeline for predicting femoral head collapse in ONFH with acceptable performance. Further research is necessary to determine the clinical applicability of this radiomics-based approach and to assess its potential to assist in treatment decision-making for ONFH.

An ensemble convolutional neural network model for brain stroke prediction using brain computed tomography images

A stroke is a potentially fatal brain attack that causes an interruption in the blood supply to the brain. As a result, brain cells start to die due to a lack of oxygen and nutrients. After a stroke, every minute is critical. A million or more brain cells perish every minute during a stroke. The prompt identification of a stroke can prevent lasting brain damage or even save the patient’s life. Doctors advise computed tomography (CT) images of the brain for earlier stroke detection. If doctors delay CT diagnosis or may make erroneous diagnoses, this can be life-threatening. For that reason, an automatic diagnosis of stroke from a brain CT scan image will be beneficial for stroke patients. This study moderates three pre-trained convolutional neural network (CNN) models named Inceptionv3, MobileNetv2, and Xception by updating the top layer of those models using the transfer-learning technique based on CT images of the brain. A new ensemble convolutional neural network (ENSNET) model is proposed for automatic brain stroke prediction from brain CT scan images. ENSNET is the average of two improved CNN models named InceptionV3 and Xception. We have relied on the following metrics: accuracy, precision, recall, f1-score, confusion matrix, accuracy versus epoch, loss versus epoch, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve to assess performance matrices. The accuracy of the moderated Inceptionv3 is 97.48%, the moderated MobileNetv2 is 83.29%, and the moderated Xception is 96.11%. Nonetheless, the suggested ensemble model ENSNET performs better than the other models when it comes to the diagnosis of stroke from brain CT scans, providing 98.86% accuracy, 97.71% precision, 98.46% recall, 98.08% f1-score, and 98.74% area under the ROC curve(AUC). Therefore, the proposed model ENSNET can detect strokes from computed tomography images of the brain more successfully than other models.

CytoNet: an efficient dual attention based automatic prediction of cancer sub types in cytology studies

Computer-assisted diagnosis (CAD) plays a key role in cancer diagnosis or screening. Whereas, current CAD performs poorly on whole slide image (WSI) analysis, and thus fails to generalize well. This research aims to develop an automatic classification system to distinguish between different types of carcinomas. Obtaining rich deep features in multi-class classification while achieving high accuracy is still a challenging problem. The detection and classification of cancerous cells in WSI are quite challenging due to the misclassification of normal lumps and cancerous cells. This is due to cluttering, occlusion, and irregular cell distribution. Researchers in the past mostly obtained the hand-crafted features while neglecting the above-mentioned challenges which led to a reduction of the classification accuracy. To mitigate this problem we proposed an efficient dual attention-based network (CytoNet). The proposed network is composed of two main modules (i) Efficient-Net and (ii) Dual Attention Module (DAM). Efficient-Net is capable of obtaining higher accuracy and enhancing efficiency as compared to existing Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). It is also useful to obtain the most generic features as it has been trained on ImageNet. Whereas DAM is very robust in obtaining attention and targeted features while negating the background. In this way, the combination of an efficient and attention module is useful to obtain the robust, and intrinsic features to obtain comparable performance. Further, we evaluated the proposed network on two well-known datasets (i) Our generated thyroid dataset (ii) Mendeley Cervical dataset (Hussain in Data Brief, 2019) with enhanced performance compared to their counterparts. CytoNet demonstrated a 99% accuracy rate on the thyroid dataset in comparison to its counterpart. The precision, recall, and F1-score values achieved on the Mendeley Cervical dataset are 0.992, 0.985, and 0.977, respectively. The code implementation is available on GitHub. https://github.com/naveedilyas/CytoNet-An-Efficient-Dual-Attention-based-Automatic-Prediction-of-Cancer-Sub-types-in-Cytol.

EEG-based patient-specific seizure prediction based on Spatial–Temporal Hypergraph Attention Transformer

Background and Objectives:Patient-specific seizure prediction based on Electroencephalogram (EEG) is a challenging and significant neuromedicine study, which could potentially safeguard drug-resistant patients from unforeseen risks in their daily lives. However, prevalent seizure prediction frameworks based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) prioritize local information while overlooking long-range global dependencies and high-order spatial correlations prevalent among brain leads. Methods:To address the limitations above, we propose a novel Spatial–Temporal Hypergraph Attention Transformer (STHAT) framework for extracting the key features in EEG signals. Aimed at the characteristics of epilepsy EEG data, our framework comprises two primary branches: (1) Long-range Temporal Feature Dependencies: This branch aims to capture temporal dependencies within EEG signals by leveraging Swin Transformer and 2D-CNN. Utilizing shifting windows and convolution operations, we encode local and global content dependencies within segmented EEG samples. (2) High-Order Spatial Information Correlations: We construct a raw graph structure using the Pearson correlation coefficient, enabling the extraction of initial node embeddings through graph convolution operations (GCO). Subsequently, a dynamic hypergraph is formed using K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) and K-means clustering, allowing us to employ a Hypergraph Attention Network (HAN) to capture structural context relationships among brain regions. By integrating information from both branches, we utilize a linear layer to derive the final seizure prediction outcome. Experiment and Results:Extensive evaluations are conducted on the widely used CHB-MIT dataset. Our comprehensive experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework in achieving superior performance in automatic seizure data prediction, outperforming state-of-the-art algorithms. The STHAT framework effectively exploits both temporal and spatial information within EEG signals, enhancing seizure prediction accuracy.

The overall R2 of 0.993, RMSE of 0.84, KGE of 0.96, NSE of 0.992, MAE of 0.53, and overall CT of 86.66s are obtained by the developed technique against various conventional studies on forecasting the rainfall in different regions of India.</span></p>

Development and Validation of a Computed Tomography-Based Model for Noninvasive Prediction of the T Stage in Gastric Cancer: Multicenter Retrospective Study.

As part of the TNM (tumor-node-metastasis) staging system, T staging based on tumor depth is crucial for developing treatment plans. Previous studies have constructed a deep learning model based on computed tomographic (CT) radiomic signatures to predict the numberoflymphnodemetastases and survival in patients with resected gastric cancer (GC). However, few studies have reported the combination of deep learning and radiomics in predicting T staging in GC. This study aimed to develop a CT-based model for automatic prediction of the T stage of GC via radiomics and deep learning. A total of 771 GC patients from 3 centers were retrospectively enrolled and divided into training, validation, and testing cohorts. Patients with GC were classified into mild (stage T1 and T2), moderate (stage T3), and severe (stage T4) groups. Three predictive models based on the labeled CT images were constructed using the radiomics features (radiomics model), deep features (deep learning model), and a combination of both (hybrid model). The overall classification accuracy of the radiomics model was 64.3% in the internal testing data set. The deep learning model and hybrid model showed better performance than the radiomics model, with overall classification accuracies of 75.7% (P=.04) and 81.4% (P=.001), respectively. On the subtasks of binary classification of tumor severity, the areas under the curve of the radiomics, deep learning, and hybrid models were 0.875, 0.866, and 0.886 in the internal testing data set and 0.820, 0.818, and 0.972 in the external testing data set, respectively, for differentiating mild (stage T1~T2) from nonmild (stage T3~T4) patients, and were 0.815, 0.892, and 0.894 in the internal testing data set and 0.685, 0.808, and 0.897 in the external testing data set, respectively, for differentiating nonsevere (stage T1~T3) from severe (stage T4) patients. The hybrid model integrating radiomics features and deep features showed favorable performance in diagnosing the pathological stage of GC.

AirNet: predictive machine learning model for air quality forecasting using web interface

Air is one of the most significant elements of the environment. The increasing global air pollution crisis poses an unavoidable threat to human health, environmental sustainability, ecosystems, and the earth's climate. Air pollution has been referred to as a silent killer due to its insidious nature. Its indirect impact on human health further underscores its dangerous effects. Early detection of air quality can potentially save millions of lives globally. A unique and transformative approach can harness the power of machine learning to combat air pollution. This research presents a manual and web-based automatic prediction system that provides real-time alerts on air quality status and can help prevent premature deaths, chronic diseases, and other health problems. Air pollutants, including carbon monoxide (CO), ozone (O3), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and particulate matter (PM 2.5), are used in this study for feature analysis and extraction. The system utilizes publicly available data from 23,463 different cities worldwide. Data preprocessing was performed before feeding the data into the machine learning models for feature correlation and evaluation. The proposed research uses various machine learning models to predict air quality, including Random Forest (100%), Logistic Regression (79%), Decision Tree (100%), Support Vector Machine (93%), Linear SVC (98%), K-Nearest Neighbor (99%), and Multinomial Naïve Bayes (52%). A user-friendly Django-based web interface offers an accessible platform for users to monitor air quality in real-time, based on the two best-performing models: Random Forest and Decision Tree techniques.

Ranking attention multiple instance learning for lymph node metastasis prediction on multicenter cervical cancer MRI.

In the current clinical diagnostic process, the gold standard for lymph node metastasis (LNM) diagnosis is histopathological examination following surgical lymphadenectomy. Developing a non-invasive and preoperative method for predicting LNM is necessary and holds significant clinical importance. We develop a ranking attention multiple instance learning (RA-MIL) model that integrates convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and ranking attention pooling to diagnose LNM from T2 MRI. Our RA-MIL model applies the CNNs to derive imaging features from 2D MRI slices and employs ranking attention pooling to create patient-level feature representation for diagnostic classification. Based on the MIL and attention theory, informative regions of top-ranking MRI slices from LNM-positive patients are visualized to enhance the interpretability of automatic LNM prediction. This retrospective study collected 300 female patients with cervical cancer who underwent T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanning and histopathological diagnosis from one hospital (289 patients) and one open-source dataset (11 patients). Our RA-MIL model delivers promising LNM prediction performance, achieving the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.809 on the internal test set and 0.833 on the public dataset. Experiments show significant improvements in LNM status prediction using the proposed RA-MIL model compared with other state-of-the-art (SOTA) comparative deep learning models. The developed RA-MIL model has the potential to serve as a non-invasive auxiliary tool for preoperative LNM prediction, offering visual interpretability regarding informative MRI slices and regions in LNM-positive patients.

Secure smart grid implementation with automatic data integrity attack location prediction and exalted energy theft detection

Smart grid systems use digital communication technology to efficiently monitor and manage electricity distribution. However, there is a need for improve the robustness of smart grid systems. Hence a novel “Secure Smart Grid Implementation with Automatic Data Integrity Attack Location Prediction and Exalted Energy Theft Detection” has been proposed. Current detection methods are not good at identifying data integrity attacks. So a novel Automatic Deterministic Attack Location Prediction Model detects data integrity attacks using a Stacked Watermarking BiGRU-based Deep Deterministic Q network, extracting system matrix and state time series variation. Moreover, Energy theft detection algorithms, which are intended to detect dishonest clients, provide erroneous findings because of linear interpolation processes and randomised near misses, which ignore important data points. Thus a novel Exalted Energy Theft Detector with Secure Encoding is introduced where Amortized Multicode GAN method secures smart grids by detecting energy theft and preventing firmware code modifications, utilising fractional multi-level quantum encoding to identify injection locations. As a result, the proposed model has an accuracy of 97.1%, recall of 96.25%, error rate is 1.36%, F1-score is 96.20%, sensitivity is 96.10%, specificity is 96.10%, MAPE is 0.48%, MSE is 0.0001 and RMSE is 0.017.

A2HTL: An Automated Hybrid Transformer-Based Learning for Predicting Survival of Esophageal Cancer Using CT Images.

Esophageal cancer is a common malignant tumor, precisely predicting survival of esophageal cancer is crucial for personalized treatment. However, current region of interest (ROI) based methodologies not only necessitate prior medical knowledge for tumor delineation, but may also cause the model to be overly sensitive to ROI. To address these challenges, we develop an automated Hybrid Transformer based learning that integrates a Hybrid Transformer size-aware U-Net with a ranked survival prediction network to enable automatic survival prediction for esophageal cancer. Specifically, we first incorporate the Transformer with shifted windowing multi-head self-attention mechanism (SW-MSA) into the base of the U-Net encoder to capture the long-range dependency in CT images. Furthermore, to alleviate the imbalance between the ROI and the background in CT images, we devise a size-aware coefficient for the segmentation loss. Finally, we also design a ranked pair sorting loss to more comprehensively capture the ranked information inherent in CT images. We evaluate our proposed method on a dataset comprising 759 samples with esophageal cancer. Experimental results demonstrate the superior performance of our proposed method in survival prediction, even without ROI ground truth.

An optimized BERT fine-tuned model using an artificial bee colony algorithm for automatic essay score prediction

Background The Automatic Essay Score (AES) prediction system is essential in education applications. The AES system uses various textural and grammatical features to investigate the exact score value for AES. The derived features are processed by various linear regressions and classifiers that require the learning pattern to improve the overall score. Issues Moreover, the classifiers face catastrophic forgetting problems, which maximizes computation complexity and reduce prediction accuracy. The forgetting problem can be resolved using the freezing mechanism; however, the mechanism can cause prediction errors. Method Therefore, this research proposes an optimized Bi-directional Encoder Representation from Transformation (BERT) by applying the Artificial Bee Colony algorithm (ABC) and Fine-Tuned Model (ABC-BERT-FTM) to solve the forgetting problem, which leads to higher prediction accuracy. Therefore, the ABC algorithm reduces the forgetting problem by selecting optimized network parameters. Results Two AES datasets, ASAP and ETS, were used to evaluate the performance of the optimized BERT of the AES system, and a high accuracy of up to 98.5% was achieved. Thus, based on the result, we can conclude that optimizing the BERT with a suitable meta-heuristic algorithm, such as the ABC algorithm, can resolve the forgetting problem, eventually increasing the AES system’s prediction accuracy.

Deep learning-based prediction of the dose-volume histograms for volumetric modulated arc therapy of left-sided breast cancer.

The advancements in artificial intelligence and computational power have made deep learning an attractive tool for radiotherapy treatment planning. Deep learning has the potential to significantly simplify the trial-and-error process involved in inverse planning required by modern treatment techniques such as volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT). In this study, we explore the ability of deep learning to predict organ-at-risk (OAR) dose-volume histograms (DVHs) of left-sided breast cancer patients undergoing VMAT treatment based solely on their anatomical characteristics. The predicted DVHs could be used to derive patient-specific dose constraints and dose objectives, streamlining the treatment planning process, standardizing the quality of the plans, and personalizing the treatment planning. This study aimed to develop a deep learning-based framework for the prediction of organ-specific dose-volume histograms (DVH) based on structures delineated for left-sided breast cancer treatment. We used a dataset of 249 left-sided breast cancer patients treated with tangential VMAT fields. We extracted delineated structures and dose distributions for each patient and derived slice-by-slice DVHs for planning target volume (PTV) and organs-at-risk. The patients were divided into training (70%, n=174), validation (10%, n=24), and test (20%, n=51) sets. Collected data were used to train a deep learning model for the prediction of the DVHs based on the delineated structures. The developed deep learning model comprised a modified DenseNet architecture followed by a recurrent neural network. In the independent test set (n=51), the point-wise differences in the slice-by-slice DVHs between the clinical and predicted DVHs were small; the mean squared errors were 3.53, 1.58, 2.28, 3.37, and 1.44 [×10-4] for PTV, heart, ipsilateral lung, contralateral lung, and contralateral breast, respectively. With the derived cumulative DVHs, the mean absolute difference±standard deviation of mean doses between the clinical and the predicted DVH were 0.08± 0.04Gy, 0.24± 0.22Gy, 0.73± 0.46Gy, 0.07± 0.06Gy, and 0.14± 0.14Gy for PTV, heart, ipsilateral lung, contralateral lung, and contralateral breast, respectively. The deep learning-based approach enabled automatic and reliable prediction of the DVH based on delineated structures. The predicted DVHs could potentially serve as patient-specific clinical goals used to aid treatment planning and avoid suboptimal plans or to derive optimization objectives and constraints for automated treatment planning.

A post‐processing framework for assessing BirdNET identification accuracy and community composition

Passively collected acoustic data have become increasingly common in wildlife research and have prompted the development of machine‐learning approaches to extract and classify large sets of audio files. BirdNET is an open‐source automatic prediction model that is popular because of its lack of training requirements for end users. Several studies have sought to test the accuracy of BirdNET and illustrate its potential in occupancy modelling of single or multiple species. However, these techniques either require extensive statistical knowledge or computational power to be applied to large datasets. In addition, there is a lack of comparisons of occupancy and community composition calculated using BirdNET and typical field methods. Here we develop a framework for assessing the accuracy of BirdNET using generalized linear mixed models to determine species‐specific confidence score thresholds. We then compare community composition under our model and another post‐processing approach to field data collected from co‐located point count surveys in northeastern Vermont. Our framework outperformed the other post‐processing method and resulted in species composition similar to that of point count surveys. Our work highlights the potential mismatch between accuracy and confidence score and the importance of developing species‐specific thresholds. The framework can facilitate research on large acoustic datasets and can be applied to output from BirdNET or other automatic prediction models.

Deep Learning-Based Artificial Intelligence Can Differentiate Treatment-Resistant and Responsive Depression Cases with High Accuracy.

Background: Although there are many treatment options available for depression, a large portion of patients with depression are diagnosed with treatment-resistant depression (TRD), which is characterized by an inadequate response to antidepressant treatment. Identifying the TRD population is crucial in terms of saving time and resources in depression treatment. Recently several studies employed various methods on EEG datasets for automatic depression detection or treatment outcome prediction. However, no previous study has used the deep learning (DL) approach and EEG signals for detecting treatment resistance. Method: 77 patients with TRD, 43 patients with non-TRD, and 40 healthy controls were compared using GoogleNet convolutional neural network and DL on EEG data. Additionally, Class Activation Maps (CAMs) acquired from the TRD and non-TRD groups were used to obtain distinctive regions for classification. Results: GoogleNet classified the healthy controls and non-TRD group with 88.43%, the healthy controls and TRD subjects with 89.73%, and the TRD and non-TRD group with 90.05% accuracy. The external validation accuracy for the TRD-non-TRD classification was 73.33%. Finally, the CAM analysis revealed that the TRD group contained dominant features in class detection of deep learning architecture in almost all electrodes. Limitations: Our study is limited by the moderate sample size of clinical groups and the retrospective nature of the study. Conclusion: These findings suggest that EEG-based deep learning can be used to classify treatment resistance in depression and may in the future prove to be a useful tool in psychiatry practice to identify patients who need more vigorous intervention.

Automatic ploidy prediction and quality assessment of human blastocysts using time-lapse imaging

Assessing fertilized human embryos is crucial for in vitro fertilization, a task being revolutionized by artificial intelligence. Existing models used for embryo quality assessment and ploidy detection could be significantly improved by effectively utilizing time-lapse imaging to identify critical developmental time points for maximizing prediction accuracy. Addressing this, we develop and compare various embryo ploidy status prediction models across distinct embryo development stages. We present BELA, a state-of-the-art ploidy prediction model that surpasses previous image- and video-based models without necessitating input from embryologists. BELA uses multitask learning to predict quality scores that are thereafter used to predict ploidy status. By achieving an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.76 for discriminating between euploidy and aneuploidy embryos on the Weill Cornell dataset, BELA matches the performance of models trained on embryologists’ manual scores. While not a replacement for preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy, BELA exemplifies how such models can streamline the embryo evaluation process.

Automatic polarity prediction is a challenging assessment issue. Even though polarity assessment is a critical topic with many existing applications, it is probably not an easy challenge and faces several difficulties in natural language processing (NLP). Public polling data can give useful information, and polarity assessment or classification of comments on Twitter and Facebook may be an effective approach for gaining a better understanding of user sentiments. Text embedding techniques and models related to the artificial intelligence field and sub-fields with differing and almost accurate parameters are among the approaches available for assessing student comments. Existing state-of-the-art methodologies for sentiment analysis to analyze student responses were discussed in this study endeavor. An innovative hybrid model is proposed that uses ensemble learning-based text embedding, a multi-head attention mechanism, and a combination of deep learning classifiers. The proposed model outperforms the existing state-of-the-art deep learning-based techniques. The proposed model achieves 95% accuracy, 97% recall, having a precision of 95% with an F1-score of 96% demonstrating its effectiveness in sentiment analysis of student feedback.
