Hyperparameter selection for dataset-constrained semantic segmentation: Practical machine learning optimization.

This paper provides a pedagogical example for systematic machine learning optimization in small dataset image segmentation, emphasizing hyperparameter selections. A simple process is presented for medical physicists to examine hyperparameter optimization. This is also applied to a case-study, demonstrating the benefit of the method. An unrestricted public Computed Tomography (CT) dataset, with binary organ segmentation, was used to develop a multiclass segmentation model. To start the optimization process, a preliminary manual search of hyperparameters was conducted and from there a grid search identified the most influential result metrics. A total of 658 different models were trained in 2100h, using 13160 effective patients. The quantity of results was analyzed using random forest regression, identifying relative hyperparameter impact. Metric implied segmentation quality (accuracy 96.8%, precision 95.1%) and visual inspection were found to be mismatched. In this work batch normalization was most important, but performance varied with hyperparameters and metrics selected. Targeted grid-search optimization and random forest analysis of relative hyperparameter importance, was an easily implementable sensitivity analysis approach. The proposed optimization method gives a systematic and quantitative approach to something intuitively understood, that hyperparameters change model performance. Even just grid search optimization with random forest analysis presented here can be informative within hardware and data quality/availability limitations, adding confidence to model validity and minimize decision-making risks. By providing a guided methodology, this work helps medical physicists to improve their model optimization, irrespective of specific challenges posed by datasets and model design.

USMDA: Unsupervised Multisource Domain Adaptive ADHD prediction model using neuroimaging

There is an increasing number of large-scale cross-site database collections of neuroimaging markers (sMRI and fMRI) for studying neurodevelopmental illnesses (NDDs). Although a huge amount of data favors machine learning-based categorization algorithms, the unique heterogeneity of each site can impair cross-site generalization capacity. It is critical to create Unsupervised domain adaption methods for NDDs because obtaining appropriate diagnoses or labeling for NDDs might be problematic. In our work, we focus on Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, which is the most common and frequently co-occurring NDD. We present an unsupervised multisource domain adaptation network (USMDA) with four primary components: Domain Alignment Module, Discrepancy Estimator, Pre-trained Model Generator, and Unsupervised Network. The Domain Alignment module is intended to incrementally and effectively align graph representations of the source and target domains. At the same time, the binary cross entropy regularizer is introduced for the first time during the training of a model learned on multiple source domains to improve existing feature alignment methods such as Transfer Joint Matching (TJM) and Joint Distribution Adaptation (JDA) by learning good unsupervised features. In an unsupervised network, the grid search optimization technique generates the optimal pseudo labels for unlabeled target data. We validate our proposed technique first on existing feature-level DA methods such as JDA, TJM, and Correlation alignment (CORAL), on the publically accessible dataset ADHD-200 and then by using binary cross-entropy in existing DA methods such as TJMCE and JDACE. The experimental results show that our proposed USMDAJDACE method when applied to multisite sMRI and fMRI ADHD data, can significantly outperform competitive methods for multi-center ADHD diagnosis.

Impact of Model Knowledge on Acoustic Emission Source Localization Accuracy

Reliable and precise damage localization in mechanical structures is of high importance in the context of structural health monitoring (SHM). The acoustic emission (AE) method has already shown its excellent suitability for damage localization. However, low signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) are often prevalent in SHM, thus an increase in localization accuracy and robustness is still in demand. The present study faces this task through the integration of various model knowledge for AE source localization. The basis of the presented algorithm is the consideration of the dispersive behavior of elastic waves in thin-walled structures. The continuous wavelet transform (CWT) is used to obtain time-frequency representations of the signals, where frequency-dependent values for time-of-arrival (TOA) are extracted. Furthermore, the algorithm incorporates the knowledge that all sensors receive signals with the same time and location of origin, as well as the slightly different sensitivity of the theoretically equal sensors. The final localization results are achieved by a two parameter grid search optimization. The algorithm is experimentally tested on a large aluminum plate with four piezoelectric wafer active sensors (PWASs) arranged in an array of 100 mm × 100 mm. The mean localization error of pencil lead breaks at ten different positions within the sensor array is used as an accuracy measure. It is shown that as more of the described model knowledge is incorporated into the localization, the accuracy increases. With the final algorithm, the mean localization error is more than halved compared to AE localization based on classical TOA estimation. Although the experiment described is conducted under laboratory conditions, the remarkable increase in accuracy suggests that AE source localization may be successful even at low SNR as typical for operational conditions.

Assessment of Cement Mortar Strength Mixed with Waste Copper Mine Tailings (CT) by Applying Gradient Boosting Regressor and Grid Search Optimization Machine Learning Approach

Growing environmental concerns and resource scarcity, the construction industry must investigate sustainable materials that reduce waste while improving building material properties. This study investigates the viability of using waste copper mine tailings (CT) as a partial replacement for river sand in cement mortar, assessing the impact on mechanical strength and developing a predictive model using a Gradient Boosting Regressor (GBR) and Grid Search Optimization (GSO). Copper tailings mix designs ranging from 0% to 50% replacement by volume (river sand) were developed, with a constant cement quantity while varying the proportions of sand and tailings. The experiments were carried out at Poornima University in Jaipur, using standard protocols to prepare specimens and measure their compressive strength for 0% CT to 50% CT as volume percent in the mixture. The results showed that the addition of copper tailings up to 20% (3CT2) had highly increased the mortar strength, while mix design 6CT3 showed the best strength at 30% CT. Beyond this threshold, strength declined, thus indicating an optimal replacement level. In the final step of the research, the GBR-GSO-based machine learning approach was employed for developing the predictive model for compressive strength in mortar with different contents of copper tailing for mix types 3CT and 6CT. The predictions obtained by the developed model were in very good agreement with empirical data, thus supporting the potential of machine learning to predict material performance for guiding the use of unconventional additives in construction. It could be said that this work not only represents the material properties of copper-tailing-infused mortar but also showcases state-of-the-art machine learning techniques in the building materials science domain while opening new paths for more innovative and sustainable building practices.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is connected with irregular cardiac electrical activity, which can be seen in ECG alterations. Due to its convenience and non-invasive aspect, the ECG is routinely exploited to identify different arrhythmias and automatic ECG recognition is needed immediately. In this paper, enhancement for the detection of CVDs such as Ventricular Tachycardia (VT), Premature Ventricular Contraction (PVC) and ST Change (ST) arrhythmia using different dimensionality reduction techniques and multiple classifiers are presented. Three-dimensionality reduction methods, such as Local Linear Embedding (LLE), Diffusion Maps (DM), and Laplacian Eigen (LE), are employed. The dimensionally reduced ECG samples are further feature selected with Cuckoo Search (CS) and Harmonic Search Optimization (HSO) algorithms. A publicly available MIT-BIH (Physionet) - VT database, PVC database, ST Change database and NSR database were used in this work. The cardiac vascular disturbances are classified by using seven classifiers such as Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM), Expectation Maximization (EM), Non-linear Regression (NLR), Logistic Regression (LR), Bayesian Linear Discriminant Analysis (BDLC), Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (Detrended FA), and Firefly. For different classes, the average overall accuracy of the classification techniques is 55.65 % when without CS and HSO feature selection, 64.36 % when CS feature selection is used, and 75.39 % when HSO feature selection is used. Also, to improve the performance of classifiers, the hyperparameters of four classifiers (GMM, EM, BDLC and Firefly) are tuned with the Adam and Grid Search Optimization (GSO) approaches. The average accuracy of classification for the CS feature-based classifiers that used GSO and Adam hyperparameter tuning was 79.92 % and 85.78 %, respectively. The average accuracy of classification for the HSO feature-based classifiers that used GSO and Adam hyperparameter tuning was 86.87 % and 93.77 %, respectively. The performance of the classifier is analyzed based on the accuracy parameter for both with and without feature selection methods and with hyperparameter tuning techniques. In the case of ST vs. NSR, a higher accuracy of 98.92 % is achieved for the LLE dimensionality reduction with HSO feature selection for the GMM classifier with Adam's hyperparameter tuning approach. The GMM classifier with the Adam hyperparameter tuning approach with 98.92 % accuracy in detecting ST vs. NSR cardiac disease is outperforming all other classifiers and methodologies.
