文摘Hematoxylin and Eosin(H&E)images,popularly used in the field of digital pathology,often pose challenges due to their limited color richness,hindering the differentiation of subtle cell features crucial for accurate classification.Enhancing the visibility of these elusive cell features helps train robust deep-learning models.However,the selection and application of image processing techniques for such enhancement have not been systematically explored in the research community.To address this challenge,we introduce Salient Features Guided Augmentation(SFGA),an approach that strategically integrates machine learning and image processing.SFGA utilizes machine learning algorithms to identify crucial features within cell images,subsequently mapping these features to appropriate image processing techniques to enhance training images.By emphasizing salient features and aligning them with corresponding image processing methods,SFGA is designed to enhance the discriminating power of deep learning models in cell classification tasks.Our research undertakes a series of experiments,each exploring the performance of different datasets and data enhancement techniques in classifying cell types,highlighting the significance of data quality and enhancement in mitigating overfitting and distinguishing cell characteristics.Specifically,SFGA focuses on identifying tumor cells from tissue for extranodal extension detection,with the SFGA-enhanced dataset showing notable advantages in accuracy.We conducted a preliminary study of five experiments,among which the accuracy of the pleomorphism experiment improved significantly from 50.81%to 95.15%.The accuracy of the other four experiments also increased,with improvements ranging from 3 to 43 percentage points.Our preliminary study shows the possibilities to enhance the diagnostic accuracy of deep learning models and proposes a systematic approach that could enhance cancer diagnosis,contributing as a first step in using SFGA in medical image enhancement.
文摘Heart disease prediction is a critical issue in healthcare,where accurate early diagnosis can save lives and reduce healthcare costs.The problem is inherently complex due to the high dimensionality of medical data,irrelevant or redundant features,and the variability in risk factors such as age,lifestyle,andmedical history.These challenges often lead to inefficient and less accuratemodels.Traditional predictionmethodologies face limitations in effectively handling large feature sets and optimizing classification performance,which can result in overfitting poor generalization,and high computational cost.This work proposes a novel classification model for heart disease prediction that addresses these challenges by integrating feature selection through a Genetic Algorithm(GA)with an ensemble deep learning approach optimized using the Tunicate Swarm Algorithm(TSA).GA selects the most relevant features,reducing dimensionality and improvingmodel efficiency.Theselected features are then used to train an ensemble of deep learning models,where the TSA optimizes the weight of each model in the ensemble to enhance prediction accuracy.This hybrid approach addresses key challenges in the field,such as high dimensionality,redundant features,and classification performance,by introducing an efficient feature selection mechanism and optimizing the weighting of deep learning models in the ensemble.These enhancements result in a model that achieves superior accuracy,generalization,and efficiency compared to traditional methods.The proposed model demonstrated notable advancements in both prediction accuracy and computational efficiency over traditionalmodels.Specifically,it achieved an accuracy of 97.5%,a sensitivity of 97.2%,and a specificity of 97.8%.Additionally,with a 60-40 data split and 5-fold cross-validation,the model showed a significant reduction in training time(90 s),memory consumption(950 MB),and CPU usage(80%),highlighting its effectiveness in processing large,complex medical datasets for heart disease prediction.
文摘Acute lymphoblastic leukemia(ALL)is characterized by overgrowth of immature lymphoid cells in the bone marrow at the expense of normal hematopoiesis.One of the most prioritized tasks is the early and correct diagnosis of this malignancy;however,manual observation of the blood smear is very time-consuming and requires labor and expertise.Transfer learning in deep neural networks is of growing importance to intricate medical tasks such as medical imaging.Our work proposes an application of a novel ensemble architecture that puts together Vision Transformer and EfficientNetV2.This approach fuses deep and spatial features to optimize discriminative power by selecting features accurately,reducing redundancy,and promoting sparsity.Besides the architecture of the ensemble,the advanced feature selection is performed by the Frog-Snake Prey-Predation Relationship Optimization(FSRO)algorithm.FSRO prioritizes the most relevant features while dynamically reducing redundant and noisy data,hence improving the efficiency and accuracy of the classification model.We have compared our method for feature selection against state-of-the-art techniques and recorded an accuracy of 94.88%,a recall of 94.38%,a precision of 96.18%,and an F1-score of 95.63%.These figures are therefore better than the classical methods for deep learning.Though our dataset,collected from four different hospitals,is non-standard and heterogeneous,making the analysis more challenging,although computationally expensive,our approach proves diagnostically superior in cancer detection.Source codes and datasets are available on GitHub.

文摘Accurate and robust navigation in complex surgical environments is crucial for bronchoscopic surgeries.This study purposes a bronchoscopic lumen feature matching network(BLFM-Net)based on deep learning to address the challenges of image noise,anatomical complexity,and the stringent real-time requirements.The BLFM-Net enhances bronchoscopic image processing by integrating several functional modules.The FFA-Net preprocessing module mitigates image fogging and improves visual clarity for subsequent processing.The feature extraction module derives multi-dimensional features,such as centroids,area,and shape descriptors,from dehazed images.The Faster RCNN Object detection module detects bronchial regions of interest and generates bounding boxes to localize key areas.The feature matching module accelerates the process by combining detection boxes,extracted features,and a KD-Tree(K-Dimensional Tree)-based algorithm,ensuring efficient and accurate regional feature associations.The BLFM-Net was evaluated on 5212 bronchoscopic images,demonstrating superior performance compared to traditional and other deep learning-based image matching methods.It achieved real-time matching with an average frame time of 6 ms,with a matching accuracy of over 96%.The method remained robust under challenging conditions including frame dropping(0,5,10,20),shadowed regions,and variable lighting,maintaining accuracy of above 94%even with the frame dropping of 20.This study presents BLFM-Net,a deep learning-based matching network designed to enhance and match bronchial features in bronchoscopic images.The BLFM-Net shows improved accuracy,real-time performance,and reliability,making a valuable tool for bronchoscopic surgeries.
文摘Brain tumor classification is crucial for personalized treatment planning.Although deep learning-based Artificial Intelligence(AI)models can automatically analyze tumor images,fine details of small tumor regions may be overlooked during global feature extraction.Therefore,we propose a brain tumor Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI)classification model based on a global-local parallel dual-branch structure.The global branch employs ResNet50 with a Multi-Head Self-Attention(MHSA)to capture global contextual information from whole brain images,while the local branch utilizes VGG16 to extract fine-grained features from segmented brain tumor regions.The features from both branches are processed through designed attention-enhanced feature fusion module to filter and integrate important features.Additionally,to address sample imbalance in the dataset,we introduce a category attention block to improve the recognition of minority classes.Experimental results indicate that our method achieved a classification accuracy of 98.04%and a micro-average Area Under the Curve(AUC)of 0.989 in the classification of three types of brain tumors,surpassing several existing pre-trained Convolutional Neural Network(CNN)models.Additionally,feature interpretability analysis validated the effectiveness of the proposed model.This suggests that the method holds significant potential for brain tumor image classification.

文摘The Quadric Error Metrics(QEM)algorithm is a widely used method for mesh simplification;however,it often struggles to preserve high-frequency geometric details,leading to the loss of salient features.To address this limitation,we propose the Salient Feature Sampling Points-based QEM(SFSP-QEM)—also referred to as the Deep Learning-Based Salient Feature-Preserving Algorithm for Mesh Simplification—which incorporates a Salient Feature-Preserving Point Sampler(SFSP).This module leverages deep learning techniques to prioritize the preservation of key geometric features during simplification.Experimental results demonstrate that SFSP-QEM significantly outperforms traditional QEM in preserving geometric details.Specifically,for general models from the Stanford 3D Scanning Repository,which represent typical mesh structures used in mesh simplification benchmarks,the Hausdorff distance of simplified models using SFSP-QEM is reduced by an average of 46.58% compared to those simplified using traditional QEM.In customized models such as the Zigong Lantern used in cultural heritage preservation,SFSP-QEM achieves an average reduction of 28.99% in Hausdorff distance.Moreover,the running time of this method is only 6%longer than that of traditional QEM while significantly improving the preservation of geometric details.These results demonstrate that SFSP-QEMis particularly effective for applications requiring high-fidelity simplification while retaining critical features.
文摘Human Activity Recognition(HAR)has become increasingly critical in civic surveillance,medical care monitoring,and institutional protection.Current deep learning-based approaches often suffer from excessive computational complexity,limited generalizability under varying conditions,and compromised real-time performance.To counter these,this paper introduces an Active Learning-aided Heuristic Deep Spatio-Textural Ensemble Learning(ALH-DSEL)framework.The model initially identifies keyframes from the surveillance videos with a Multi-Constraint Active Learning(MCAL)approach,with features extracted from DenseNet121.The frames are then segmented employing an optimized Fuzzy C-Means clustering algorithm with Firefly to identify areas of interest.A deep ensemble feature extractor,comprising DenseNet121,EfficientNet-B7,MobileNet,and GLCM,extracts varied spatial and textural features.Fused characteristics are enhanced through PCA and Min-Max normalization and discriminated by a maximum voting ensemble of RF,AdaBoost,and XGBoost.The experimental results show that ALH-DSEL provides higher accuracy,precision,recall,and F1-score,validating its superiority for real-time HAR in surveillance scenarios.
文摘Olive trees are susceptible to a variety of diseases that can cause significant crop damage and economic losses.Early detection of these diseases is essential for effective management.We propose a novel transformed wavelet,feature-fused,pre-trained deep learning model for detecting olive leaf diseases.The proposed model combines wavelet transforms with pre-trained deep-learning models to extract discriminative features from olive leaf images.The model has four main phases:preprocessing using data augmentation,three-level wavelet transformation,learning using pre-trained deep learning models,and a fused deep learning model.In the preprocessing phase,the image dataset is augmented using techniques such as resizing,rescaling,flipping,rotation,zooming,and contrasting.In wavelet transformation,the augmented images are decomposed into three frequency levels.Three pre-trained deep learning models,EfficientNet-B7,DenseNet-201,and ResNet-152-V2,are used in the learning phase.The models were trained using the approximate images of the third-level sub-band of the wavelet transform.In the fused phase,the fused model consists of a merge layer,three dense layers,and two dropout layers.The proposed model was evaluated using a dataset of images of healthy and infected olive leaves.It achieved an accuracy of 99.72%in the diagnosis of olive leaf diseases,which exceeds the accuracy of other methods reported in the literature.This finding suggests that our proposed method is a promising tool for the early detection of olive leaf diseases.
文摘With the popularisation of intelligent power,power devices have different shapes,numbers and specifications.This means that the power data has distributional variability,the model learning process cannot achieve sufficient extraction of data features,which seriously affects the accuracy and performance of anomaly detection.Therefore,this paper proposes a deep learning-based anomaly detection model for power data,which integrates a data alignment enhancement technique based on random sampling and an adaptive feature fusion method leveraging dimension reduction.Aiming at the distribution variability of power data,this paper developed a sliding window-based data adjustment method for this model,which solves the problem of high-dimensional feature noise and low-dimensional missing data.To address the problem of insufficient feature fusion,an adaptive feature fusion method based on feature dimension reduction and dictionary learning is proposed to improve the anomaly data detection accuracy of the model.In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method,we conducted effectiveness comparisons through elimination experiments.The experimental results show that compared with the traditional anomaly detection methods,the method proposed in this paper not only has an advantage in model accuracy,but also reduces the amount of parameter calculation of the model in the process of feature matching and improves the detection speed.

文摘Conventional machine learning(CML)methods have been successfully applied for gas reservoir prediction.Their prediction accuracy largely depends on the quality of the sample data;therefore,feature optimization of the input samples is particularly important.Commonly used feature optimization methods increase the interpretability of gas reservoirs;however,their steps are cumbersome,and the selected features cannot sufficiently guide CML models to mine the intrinsic features of sample data efficiently.In contrast to CML methods,deep learning(DL)methods can directly extract the important features of targets from raw data.Therefore,this study proposes a feature optimization and gas-bearing prediction method based on a hybrid fusion model that combines a convolutional neural network(CNN)and an adaptive particle swarm optimization-least squares support vector machine(APSO-LSSVM).This model adopts an end-to-end algorithm structure to directly extract features from sensitive multicomponent seismic attributes,considerably simplifying the feature optimization.A CNN was used for feature optimization to highlight sensitive gas reservoir information.APSO-LSSVM was used to fully learn the relationship between the features extracted by the CNN to obtain the prediction results.The constructed hybrid fusion model improves gas-bearing prediction accuracy through two processes of feature optimization and intelligent prediction,giving full play to the advantages of DL and CML methods.The prediction results obtained are better than those of a single CNN model or APSO-LSSVM model.In the feature optimization process of multicomponent seismic attribute data,CNN has demonstrated better gas reservoir feature extraction capabilities than commonly used attribute optimization methods.In the prediction process,the APSO-LSSVM model can learn the gas reservoir characteristics better than the LSSVM model and has a higher prediction accuracy.The constructed CNN-APSO-LSSVM model had lower errors and a better fit on the test dataset than the other individual models.This method proves the effectiveness of DL technology for the feature extraction of gas reservoirs and provides a feasible way to combine DL and CML technologies to predict gas reservoirs.
文摘On a global scale,lung cancer is responsible for around 27%of all cancer fatalities.Even though there have been great strides in diagnosis and therapy in recent years,the five-year cure rate is just 19%.Classification is crucial for diagnosing lung nodules.This is especially true today that automated categorization may provide a professional opinion that can be used by doctors.New computer vision and machine learning techniques have made possible accurate and quick categorization of CT images.This field of research has exploded in popularity in recent years because of its high efficiency and ability to decrease labour requirements.Here,they want to look carefully at the current state of automated categorization of lung nodules.Generalpurpose structures are briefly discussed,and typical algorithms are described.Our results show deep learning-based lung nodule categorization quickly becomes the industry standard.Therefore,it is critical to pay greater attention to the coherence of the data inside the study and the consistency of the research topic.Furthermore,there should be greater collaboration between designers,medical experts,and others in the field.

文摘Topographic maps,as essential tools and sources of information for geographic research,contain precise spatial locations and rich map features,and they illustrate spatio-temporal information on the distribution and differences of various surface features.Currently,topographic maps are mainly stored in raster and vector formats.Extraction of the spatio-temporal knowledge in the maps—such as spatial distribution patterns,feature relationships,and dynamic evolution—still primarily relies on manual interpretation.However,manual interpretation is time-consuming and laborious,especially for large-scale,long-term map knowledge extraction and application.With the development of artificial intelligence technology,it is possible to improve the automation level of map knowledge interpretation.Therefore,the present study proposes an automatic interpretation method for raster topographic map knowledge based on deep learning.To address the limitations of current data-driven intelligent technology in learning map spatial relations and cognitive logic,we establish a formal description of map knowledge by mapping the relationship between map knowledge and features,thereby ensuring interpretation accuracy.Subsequently,deep learning techniques are employed to extract map features automatically,and the spatio-temporal knowledge is constructed by combining formal descriptions of geographic feature knowledge.Validation experiments demonstrate that the proposed method effectively achieves automatic interpretation of spatio-temporal knowledge of geographic features in maps,with an accuracy exceeding 80%.The findings of the present study contribute to machine understanding of spatio-temporal differences in map knowledge and advances the intelligent interpretation and utilization of cartographic information.

文摘The potential applications of multimodal physiological signals in healthcare,pain monitoring,and clinical decision support systems have garnered significant attention in biomedical research.Subjective self-reporting is the foundation of conventional pain assessment methods,which may be unreliable.Deep learning is a promising alternative to resolve this limitation through automated pain classification.This paper proposes an ensemble deep-learning framework for pain assessment.The framework makes use of features collected from electromyography(EMG),skin conductance level(SCL),and electrocardiography(ECG)signals.We integrate Convolutional Neural Networks(CNN),Long Short-Term Memory Networks(LSTM),Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Units(BiGRU),and Deep Neural Networks(DNN)models.We then aggregate their predictions using a weighted averaging ensemble technique to increase the classification’s robustness.To improve computing efficiency and remove redundant features,we use Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO)for feature selection.This enables us to reduce the features’dimensionality without sacrificing the classification’s accuracy.With improved accuracy,precision,recall,and F1-score across all pain levels,the experimental results show that the suggested ensemble model performs better than individual deep learning classifiers.In our experiments,the suggested model achieved over 98%accuracy,suggesting promising automated pain assessment performance.However,due to differences in validation protocols,comparisons with previous studies are still limited.Combining deep learning and feature selection techniques significantly improves model generalization,reducing overfitting and enhancing classification performance.The evaluation was conducted using the BioVid Heat Pain Dataset,confirming the model’s effectiveness in distinguishing between different pain intensity levels.

文摘In computer vision applications like surveillance and remote sensing,to mention a few,deep learning has had considerable success.Medical imaging still faces a number of difficulties,including intra-class similarity,a scarcity of training data,and poor contrast skin lesions,notably in the case of skin cancer.An optimisation-aided deep learningbased system is proposed for accurate multi-class skin lesion identification.The sequential procedures of the proposed system start with preprocessing and end with categorisation.The preprocessing step is where a hybrid contrast enhancement technique is initially proposed for lesion identification with healthy regions.Instead of flipping and rotating data,the outputs from the middle phases of the hybrid enhanced technique are employed for data augmentation in the next step.Next,two pre-trained deep learning models,MobileNetV2 and NasNet Mobile,are trained using deep transfer learning on the upgraded enriched dataset.Later,a dual-threshold serial approach is employed to obtain and combine the features of both models.The next step was the variance-controlled Marine Predator methodology,which the authors proposed as a superior optimisation method.The top features from the fused feature vector are classified using machine learning classifiers.The experimental strategy provided enhanced accuracy of 94.4%using the publicly available dataset HAM10000.Additionally,the proposed framework is evaluated compared to current approaches,with remarkable results.

文摘Inertial Sensor-based Daily Activity Recognition(IS-DAR)requires adaptable,data-efficient methods for effective multi-sensor use.This study presents an advanced detection system using body-worn sensors to accurately recognize activities.A structured pipeline enhances IS-DAR by applying signal preprocessing,feature extraction and optimization,followed by classification.Before segmentation,a Chebyshev filter removes noise,and Blackman window-ing improves signal representation.Discriminative features-Gaussian Mixture Model(GMM)with Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients(MFCC),spectral entropy,quaternion-based features,and Gammatone Cepstral Coefficients(GCC)-are fused to expand the feature space.Unlike existing approaches,the proposed IS-DAR system uniquely inte-grates diverse handcrafted features using a novel fusion strategy combined with Bayesian-based optimization,enabling a more accurate and generalized activity recognition.The key contribution lies in the joint optimization and fusion of features via Bayesian-based subset selection,resulting in a compact and highly discriminative feature representation.These features are then fed into a Convolutional Neural Network(CNN)to effectively detect spatial-temporal patterns in activity signals.Testing on two public datasets-IM-WSHA and ENABL3S-achieved accuracy levels of 93.0%and 92.0%,respectively.The integration of advanced feature extraction methods with fusion and optimization techniques significantly enhanced detection performance,surpassing traditional methods.The obtained results establish the effectiveness of the proposed IS-DAR system for deployment in real-world activity recognition applications.

文摘Identifying drug-drug interactions(DDIs)is essential to prevent adverse effects from polypharmacy.Although deep learning has advanced DDI identification,the gap between powerful models and their lack of clinical application and evaluation has hindered clinical benefits.Here,we developed a Multi-Dimensional Feature Fusion model named MDFF,which integrates one-dimensional simplified molec-ular input line entry system sequence features,two-dimensional molecular graph features,and three-dimensional geometric features to enhance drug representations for predicting DDIs.MDFF was trained and validated on two DDI datasets,evaluated across three distinct scenarios,and compared with advanced DDI prediction models using accuracy,precision,recall,area under the curve,and F1 score metrics.MDFF achieved state-of-the-art performance across all metrics.Ablation experiments showed that integrating multi-dimensional drug features yielded the best results.More importantly,we obtained adverse drug reaction reports uploaded by Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from 2021 to 2023 and used MDFF to identify potential adverse DDIs.Among 12 real-world adverse drug reaction reports,the predictions of 9 reports were supported by relevant evidence.Additionally,MDFF demon-strated the ability to explain adverse DDI mechanisms,providing insights into the mechanisms behind one specific report and highlighting its potential to assist practitioners in improving medical practice.

文摘Face detection is a critical component inmodern security,surveillance,and human-computer interaction systems,with widespread applications in smartphones,biometric access control,and public monitoring.However,detecting faces with high levels of occlusion,such as those covered by masks,veils,or scarves,remains a significant challenge,as traditional models often fail to generalize under such conditions.This paper presents a hybrid approach that combines traditional handcrafted feature extraction technique called Histogram of Oriented Gradients(HOG)and Canny edge detection with modern deep learning models.The goal is to improve face detection accuracy under occlusions.The proposed method leverages the structural strengths of HOG and edge-based object proposals while exploiting the feature extraction capabilities of Convolutional Neural Networks(CNNs).The effectiveness of the proposed model is assessed using a custom dataset containing 10,000 heavily occluded face images and a subset of the Common Objects in Context(COCO)dataset for non-face samples.The COCO dataset was selected for its variety and realism in background contexts.Experimental evaluations demonstrate significant performance improvements compared to baseline CNN models.Results indicate that DenseNet121 combined with HOG outperforms other counterparts in classification metrics with an F1-score of 87.96%and precision of 88.02%.Enhanced performance is achieved through reduced false positives and improved localization accuracy with the integration of object proposals based on Canny and contour detection.While the proposed method increases inference time from 33.52 to 97.80 ms,it achieves a notable improvement in precision from 80.85% to 88.02% when comparing the baseline DenseNet121 model to its hybrid counterpart.Limitations of the method include higher computational cost and the need for careful tuning of parameters across the edge detection,handcrafted features,and CNN components.These findings highlight the potential of combining handcrafted and learned features for occluded face detection tasks.
