[PMID: 38878360 DOI: 10.1016/j.cmpb.2024.108278] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2023] [Revised: 05/24/2024] [Accepted: 06/06/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Training convolutional neural networks based on large amount of labeled data has made great progress in the field of image segmentation. However, in medical image segmentation tasks, annotating the data is expensive and time-consuming because pixel-level annotation requires experts in the relevant field. Currently, the combination of consistent regularization and pseudo labeling-based semi-supervised methods has shown good performance in image segmentation. However, in the training process, a portion of low-confidence pseudo labels are generated by the model. And the semi-supervised segmentation method still has the problem of distribution bias between labeled and unlabeled data. The objective of this study is to address the challenges of semi-supervised learning and improve the segmentation accuracy of semi-supervised models on medical images. METHODS To address these issues, we propose an Uncertainty-based Region Clipping Algorithm for semi-supervised medical image segmentation, which consists of two main modules. A module is introduced to compute the uncertainty of two sub-networks predictions with diversity using Monte Carlo Dropout, allowing the model to gradually learn from more reliable targets. To retain model diversity, we use different loss functions for different branches and use Non-Maximum Suppression in one of the branches. The other module is proposed to generate new samples by masking the low-confidence pixels in the original image based on uncertainty information. New samples are fed into the model to facilitate the model to generate pseudo labels with high confidence and enlarge the training data distribution. RESULTS Comprehensive experiments on the combination of two benchmarks ACDC and BraTS2019 show that our proposed model outperforms state-of-the-art methods in terms of Dice, HD95 and ASD. The results reach an average Dice score of 87.86 % and a HD95 score of 4.214 mm on ACDC dataset. For the brain tumor segmentation, the results reach an average Dice score of 84.79 % and a HD score of 10.13 mm. CONCLUSIONS Our proposed method improves the accuracy of semi-supervised medical image segmentation. Extensive experiments on two public medical image datasets including 2D and 3D modalities demonstrate the superiority of our model. The code is available at: https://github.com/QuintinDong/URCA.

Abstract
Fault diagnosis is one of the important applications of edge computing in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). To address the issue that traditional fault diagnosis methods often struggle to effectively extract fault features, this paper proposes a novel rolling bearing fault diagnosis method that integrates Gramian Angular Field (GAF), Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), and Vision Transformer (ViT). First, GAF is used to convert one-dimensional vibration signals from sensors into two-dimensional images, effectively retaining the fault features of the vibration signal. Then, the CNN branch is used to extract the local features of the image, which are combined with the global features extracted by the ViT branch to diagnose the bearing fault. The effectiveness of this method is validated with two datasets. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves average accuracies of 99.79% and 99.63% on the CWRU and XJTU-SY rolling bearing fault datasets, respectively. Compared with several widely used fault diagnosis methods, the proposed method achieves higher accuracy for different fault classifications, providing reliable technical support for performing complex fault diagnosis on edge devices.

Abstract
Cancer detection and accurate classification pose significant challenges for medical professionals, as it is described as a lethal illness. Diagnosing the malignant lung nodules in its initial stage significantly enhances the recovery and survival rates. Therefore, a novel model named convolutional vision Elman bidirectional-based crossover boosted grey wolf optimization (CViEBi-CBGWO) has been proposed to enhance classification accuracy. CT images selected for further preprocessing are obtained from the LUNA16 dataset and LIDC-IDRI dataset. The data undergoes preprocessing phases involving normalization, data augmentation, and filtering to improve the generalization ability as well as image quality. The local features within the preprocessed images are extracted by implementing the convolutional neural network (CNN). For extracting the global features within the preprocessed images, the vision transformer (ViT) model consists of five encoder blocks. The attained local and global features are combined to generate the feature map. The Elman bidirectional long short-term memory (EBiLSTM) model is applied to categorize the generated feature map as benign and malignant. The crossover operation is integrated with the grey wolf optimization (GWO) algorithm, and the combined form of CBGWO fine-tunes the parameters of the CViEBi model, eliminating the problem of local optima. Experimental validation is conducted using various evaluation measures to assess effectiveness. Comparative analysis demonstrates a superior classification accuracy of 98.72% in the proposed method compared to existing methods.

Abstract
Objective. Deep learning networks such as convolutional neural networks (CNN) and Transformer have shown excellent performance on the task of medical image segmentation, however, the usual problem with medical images is the lack of large-scale, high-quality pixel-level annotations, which is a very time-consuming and laborious task, and its further leads to compromised the performance of medical image segmentation under limited annotation conditions.Approach. In this paper, we propose a new semi-supervised learning method, uncertainty-guided cross learning, which uses a limited number of annotated samples along with a large number of unlabeled images to train the network. Specifically, we use two networks with different learning paradigms, CNN and Transformer, for cross learning, and use the prediction of one of them as a pseudo label to supervise the other, so that they can learn from each other, fully extract the local and global features of the images, and combine explicit and implicit consistency regularization constraints with pseudo label methods. On the other hand, we use epistemic uncertainty as a guiding message to encourage the model to learn high-certainty pixel information in high-confidence regions, and minimize the impact of erroneous pseudo labels on the overall learning process to improve the performance of semi-supervised segmentation methods.Main results. We conducted honeycomb lung lesion segmentation experiments using a honeycomb lung CT image dataset, and designed several sets of comparison experiments and ablation experiments to validate the effectiveness of our method. The final experimental results show that the Dice coefficient of our proposed method reaches 88.49% on the test set, and our method achieves state-of-the-art performance in honeycomb lung lesion segmentation compared to other semi-supervised learning methods.Significance. Our proposed method can effectively improve the accuracy of segmentation of honeycomb lung lesions, which provides an important reference for physicians in the diagnosis and treatment of this disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To develop a deep learning (DL) method that can determine the Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (LI-RADS) grading of high-risk liver lesions and distinguish hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) from non-HCC based on multiphase CT. METHODS This retrospective study included 1049 patients with 1082 lesions from two independent hospitals that were pathologically confirmed as HCC or non-HCC. All patients underwent a four-phase CT imaging protocol. All lesions were graded (LR 4/5/M) by radiologists and divided into an internal (n = 886) and external cohort (n = 196) based on the examination date. In the internal cohort, Swin-Transformer based on different CT protocols were trained and tested for their ability to LI-RADS grading and distinguish HCC from non-HCC, and then validated in the external cohort. We further developed a combined model with the optimal protocol and clinical information for distinguishing HCC from non-HCC. RESULTS In the test and external validation cohorts, the three-phase protocol without pre-contrast showed κ values of 0.6094 and 0.4845 for LI-RADS grading, and its accuracy was 0.8371 and 0.8061, while the accuracy of the radiologist was 0.8596 and 0.8622, respectively. The AUCs in distinguishing HCC from non-HCC were 0.865 and 0.715 in the test and external validation cohorts, while those of the combined model were 0.887 and 0.808. CONCLUSION The Swin-Transformer based on three-phase CT protocol without pre-contrast could feasibly simplify LI-RADS grading and distinguish HCC from non-HCC. Furthermore, the DL model have the potential in accurately distinguishing HCC from non-HCC using imaging and highly characteristic clinical data as inputs. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT The application of deep learning model for multiphase CT has proven to improve the clinical applicability of the Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System and provide support to optimize the management of patients with liver diseases. KEY POINTS • Deep learning (DL) simplifies LI-RADS grading and helps distinguish hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) from non-HCC. • The Swin-Transformer based on the three-phase CT protocol without pre-contrast outperformed other CT protocols. • The Swin-Transformer provide help in distinguishing HCC from non-HCC by using CT and characteristic clinical information as inputs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the globally reducing hospitalization rates and the much lower risks of Covid-19 mortality, accurate diagnosis of the infection stage and prediction of outcomes are clinically of interest. Advanced current technology can facilitate automating the process and help identifying those who are at higher risks of developing severe illness. This work explores and represents deep-learning-based schemes for predicting clinical outcomes in Covid-19 infected patients, using Visual Transformer and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), fed with 3D data fusion of CT scan images and patients' clinical data. METHODS We report on the efficiency of Video Swin Transformers and several CNN models fed with fusion datasets and CT scans only vs. a set of conventional classifiers fed with patients' clinical data only. A relatively large clinical dataset from 380 Covid-19 diagnosed patients was used to train/test the models. RESULTS Results show that the 3D Video Swin Transformers fed with the fusion datasets of 64 sectional CT scans + 67 clinical labels outperformed all other approaches for predicting outcomes in Covid-19-infected patients amongst all techniques (i.e., TPR = 0.95, FPR = 0.40, F0.5 score = 0.82, AUC = 0.77, Kappa = 0.6). CONCLUSIONS We demonstrate how the utility of our proposed novel 3D data fusion approach through concatenating CT scan images with patients' clinical data can remarkably improve the performance of the models in predicting Covid-19 infection outcomes. SIGNIFICANCE Findings indicate possibilities of predicting the severity of outcome using patients' CT images and clinical data collected at the time of admission to hospital.

Abstract
The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic in Wuhan in 2019 led to the discovery of a novel coronavirus. The World Health Organization (WHO) designated it as a global pandemic on 11 March 2020 due to its rapid and widespread transmission. Its impact has had profound implications, particularly in the realm of public health. Extensive scientific endeavors have been directed towards devising effective treatment strategies and vaccines. Within the healthcare and medical imaging domain, the application of artificial intelligence (AI) has brought significant advantages. This study delves into peer-reviewed research articles spanning the years 2020 to 2022, focusing on AI-driven methodologies for the analysis and screening of COVID-19 through chest CT scan data. We assess the efficacy of deep learning algorithms in facilitating decision making processes. Our exploration encompasses various facets, including data collection, systematic contributions, emerging techniques, and encountered challenges. However, the comparison of outcomes between 2020 and 2022 proves intricate due to shifts in dataset magnitudes over time. The initiatives aimed at developing AI-powered tools for the detection, localization, and segmentation of COVID-19 cases are primarily centered on educational and training contexts. We deliberate on their merits and constraints, particularly in the context of necessitating cross-population train/test models. Our analysis encompassed a review of 231 research publications, bolstered by a meta-analysis employing search keywords (COVID-19 OR Coronavirus) AND chest CT AND (deep learning OR artificial intelligence OR medical imaging) on both the PubMed Central Repository and Web of Science platforms.

Abstract
The rapid spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has posed enormous challenges to the global public health system. To deal with the COVID-19 pandemic crisis, the more accurate and convenient diagnosis of patients needs to be developed. This paper proposes a deep-learning-based COVID-19 detection method and evaluates its performance on embedded edge-computing devices. By adding an attention module and mixed loss into the original VGG19 model, the method can effectively reduce the parameters of the model and increase the classification accuracy. The improved model was first trained and tested on the PC X86 GPU platform using a large dataset (COVIDx CT-2A) and a medium dataset (integrated CT scan); the weight parameters of the model were reduced by around six times compared to the original model, but it still approximately achieved 98.80%and 97.84% accuracy, outperforming most existing methods. The trained model was subsequently transferred to embedded NVIDIA Jetson devices (TX2, Nano), where it achieved 97% accuracy at a 0.6−1 FPS inference speed using the NVIDIA TensorRT engine. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method is practicable and convenient; it can be used on a low-cost medical edge-computing terminal. The source code is available on GitHub for researchers.

Abstract
The Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been declared a worldwide pandemic, and a key method for diagnosing COVID-19 is chest X-ray imaging. The application of convolutional neural network with medical imaging helps to diagnose the disease accurately, where the label quality plays an important role in the classification problem of COVID-19 chest X-rays. However, most of the existing classification methods ignore the problem that the labels are hardly completely true and effective, and noisy labels lead to a significant degradation in the performance of image classification frameworks. In addition, due to the wide distribution of lesions and the large number of local features of COVID-19 chest X-ray images, existing label recovery algorithms have to face the bottleneck problem of the difficult reuse of noisy samples. Therefore, this paper introduces a general classification framework for COVID-19 chest X-ray images with noisy labels and proposes a noisy label recovery algorithm based on subset label iterative propagation and replacement (SLIPR). Specifically, the proposed algorithm first obtains random subsets of the samples multiple times. Then, it integrates several techniques such as principal component analysis, low-rank representation, neighborhood graph regularization, and k-nearest neighbor for feature extraction and image classification. Finally, multi-level weight distribution and replacement are performed on the labels to cleanse the noise. In addition, for the label-recovered dataset, high confidence samples are further selected as the training set to improve the stability and accuracy of the classification framework without affecting its inherent performance. In this paper, three typical datasets are chosen to conduct extensive experiments and comparisons of existing algorithms under different metrics. Experimental results on three publicly available COVID-19 chest X-ray image datasets show that the proposed algorithm can effectively recover noisy labels and improve the accuracy of the image classification framework by 18.9% on the Tawsifur dataset, 19.92% on the Skytells dataset, and 16.72% on the CXRs dataset. Compared to the state-of-the-art algorithms, the gain of classification accuracy of SLIPR on the three datasets can reach 8.67%-19.38%, and the proposed algorithm also has certain scalability while ensuring data integrity.

Abstract
The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has a devastating impact on people’s daily lives and healthcare systems. The rapid spread of this virus should be stopped by early detection of infected patients through efficient screening. Artificial intelligence techniques are used for accurate disease detection in computed tomography (CT) images. This article aims to develop a process that can accurately diagnose COVID-19 using deep learning techniques on CT images. Using CT images collected from Yozgat Bozok University, the presented method begins with the creation of an original dataset, which includes 4000 CT images. The faster R-CNN and mask R-CNN methods are presented for this purpose in order to train and test the dataset to categorize patients with COVID-19 and pneumonia infections. In this study, the results are compared using VGG-16 for faster R-CNN model and ResNet-50 and ResNet-101 backbones for mask R-CNN. The faster R-CNN model used in the study has an accuracy rate of 93.86%, and the ROI (region of interest) classification loss is 0.061 per ROI. At the conclusion of the final training, the mask R-CNN model generates mAP (mean average precision) values for ResNet-50 and ResNet-101, respectively, of 97.72% and 95.65%. The results for five folds are obtained by applying the cross-validation to the methods used. With training, our model performs better than the industry standard baselines and can help with automated COVID-19 severity quantification in CT images.

Abstract
From the perspective of historical review, the methodology of economics develops from qualitative to quantitative, from a small sampling of data to a vast amount of data. Because of the superiority in learning inherent law and representative level, deep learning models assist in realizing intelligent decision-making in economics. After presenting some statistical results of relevant researches, this paper systematically investigates deep learning in economics, including a survey of frequently-used deep learning models in economics, several applications of deep learning models used in economics. Then, some critical reviews of deep learning in economics are provided, including models and applications, why and how to implement deep learning in economics, research gap and future challenges, respectively. It is obvious that several deep learning models and their variants have been widely applied in different subfields of economics, e.g., financial economics, macroeconomics and monetary economics, agricultural and natural resource economics, industrial organization, urban, rural, regional, real estate and transportation economics, health, education and welfare, business administration and microeconomics, etc. We are very confident that decision-making in economics will be more intelligent with the development of deep learning, because the research of deep learning in economics has become a hot and important topic recently.

Abstract
Recording the trajectory of table tennis balls in real-time enables the analysis of the opponent's attacking characteristics and weaknesses. The current analysis of the ball paths mainly relied on human viewing, which lacked certain theoretical data support. In order to solve the problem of the lack of objective data analysis in the research of table tennis competition, a target detection algorithm-based table tennis trajectory extraction network was proposed to record the trajectory of the table tennis movement in video. The network improved the feature reuse rate in order to achieve a lightweight network and enhance the detection accuracy. The core of the network was the "feature store & return" module, which could store the output of the current network layer and pass the features to the input of the network layer at the next moment to achieve efficient reuse of the features. In this module, the Transformer model was used to secondarily process the features, build the global association information, and enhance the feature richness of the feature map. According to the designed experiments, the detection accuracy of the network was 96.8% for table tennis and 89.1% for target localization. Moreover, the parameter size of the model was only 7.68 MB, and the detection frame rate could reach 634.19 FPS using the hardware for the tests. In summary, the network designed in this paper has the characteristics of both lightweight and high precision in table tennis detection, and the performance of the proposed model significantly outperforms that of the existing models.

Abstract
Cognitive competency is an essential complement to the existing ship pilot screening system that should be focused on. Situation awareness (SA), as the cognitive foundation of unsafe behaviors, is susceptible to influencing piloting performance. To address this issue, this paper develops an identification model based on random forest- convolutional neural network (RF-CNN) method for detecting at-risk cognitive competency (i.e., low SA level) using wearable EEG signal acquisition technology. In the poor visibility scene, the pilots' SA levels were correlated with EEG frequency metrics in frontal (F) and central (C) regions, including α/β (p = 0.071 < 0.1 in F and p = 0.042 < 0.05 in C), θ/(α + θ) (p = 0.048 < 0.05 in F and p = 0.026 < 0.05 in C) and (α + θ)/β (p = 0.046 < 0.05 in F and p = 0.012 < 0.05 in C), and then a total of 12 correlation features were obtained based on a 5 s sliding time window. Using the RF algorithm developed by principal component analysis (PCA) for further feature combination, these salient combinations are used as input sets to obtain the CNN algorithm with optimal parameters for identification. The comparative results of the proposed RF-CNN (accuracy is 84.8%) against individual RF (accuracy is 78.1%) and CNN (accuracy is 81.6%) methods demonstrate that the RF-CNN with feature optimization provides the best identification of at-risk cognitive competency (accuracy increases 6.7%). Overall, the results of this paper provide key technical support for the development of an adaptive evaluation system of pilots' cognitive competency based on intelligent technology, and lay the foundation and framework for monitoring the cognitive process and competency of ship piloting operation in China.

Abstract
Background There is an urgent need to find an effective and accurate method for triaging coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients from millions or billions of people. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a novel deep-learning approach for COVID-19 triage based on chest computed tomography (CT) images, including normal, pneumonia, and COVID-19 cases. Methods A total of 2,809 chest CT scans (1,105 COVID-19, 854 normal, and 850 non-3COVID-19 pneumonia cases) were acquired for this study and classified into the training set (n = 2,329) and test set (n = 480). A U-net-based convolutional neural network was used for lung segmentation, and a mask-weighted global average pooling (GAP) method was proposed for the deep neural network to improve the performance of COVID-19 classification between COVID-19 and normal or common pneumonia cases. Results The results for lung segmentation reached a dice value of 96.5% on 30 independent CT scans. The performance of the mask-weighted GAP method achieved the COVID-19 triage with a sensitivity of 96.5% and specificity of 87.8% using the testing dataset. The mask-weighted GAP method demonstrated 0.9% and 2% improvements in sensitivity and specificity, respectively, compared with the normal GAP. In addition, fusion images between the CT images and the highlighted area from the deep learning model using the Grad-CAM method, indicating the lesion region detected using the deep learning method, were drawn and could also be confirmed by radiologists. Conclusions This study proposed a mask-weighted GAP-based deep learning method and obtained promising results for COVID-19 triage based on chest CT images. Furthermore, it can be considered a convenient tool to assist doctors in diagnosing COVID-19.

D 2BOF-COVIDNet: A Framework of Deep Bayesian Optimization and Fusion-Assisted Optimal Deep Features for COVID-19 Classification Using Chest X-ray and MRI Scans. Diagnostics (Basel) 2022; 13:diagnostics13010101. [PMID: 36611393 PMCID: PMC9818184 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics13010101] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2022] [Revised: 12/23/2022] [Accepted: 12/24/2022] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE In 2019, a corona virus disease (COVID-19) was detected in China that affected millions of people around the world. On 11 March 2020, the WHO declared this disease a pandemic. Currently, more than 200 countries in the world have been affected by this disease. The manual diagnosis of this disease using chest X-ray (CXR) images and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is time consuming and always requires an expert person; therefore, researchers introduced several computerized techniques using computer vision methods. The recent computerized techniques face some challenges, such as low contrast CTX images, the manual initialization of hyperparameters, and redundant features that mislead the classification accuracy. METHODS In this paper, we proposed a novel framework for COVID-19 classification using deep Bayesian optimization and improved canonical correlation analysis (ICCA). In this proposed framework, we initially performed data augmentation for better training of the selected deep models. After that, two pre-trained deep models were employed (ResNet50 and InceptionV3) and trained using transfer learning. The hyperparameters of both models were initialized through Bayesian optimization. Both trained models were utilized for feature extractions and fused using an ICCA-based approach. The fused features were further optimized using an improved tree growth optimization algorithm that finally was classified using a neural network classifier. RESULTS The experimental process was conducted on five publically available datasets and achieved an accuracy of 99.6, 98.5, 99.9, 99.5, and 100%. CONCLUSION The comparison with recent methods and t-test-based analysis showed the significance of this proposed framework.

Abstract
According to the World Health Organization statistics, as of 25 October 2022, there have been 625,248,843 confirmed cases of COVID-19, including 65,622,281 deaths worldwide. The spread and severity of COVID-19 are alarming. The economy and life of countries worldwide have been greatly affected. The rapid and accurate diagnosis of COVID-19 directly affects the spread of the virus and the degree of harm. Currently, the classification of chest X-ray or CT images based on artificial intelligence is an important method for COVID-19 diagnosis. It can assist doctors in making judgments and reduce the misdiagnosis rate. The convolutional neural network (CNN) is very popular in computer vision applications, such as applied to biological image segmentation, traffic sign recognition, face recognition, and other fields. It is one of the most widely used machine learning methods. This paper mainly introduces the latest deep learning methods and techniques for diagnosing COVID-19 using chest X-ray or CT images based on the convolutional neural network. It reviews the technology of CNN at various stages, such as rectified linear units, batch normalization, data augmentation, dropout, and so on. Several well-performing network architectures are explained in detail, such as AlexNet, ResNet, DenseNet, VGG, GoogleNet, etc. We analyzed and discussed the existing CNN automatic COVID-19 diagnosis systems from sensitivity, accuracy, precision, specificity, and F1 score. The systems use chest X-ray or CT images as datasets. Overall, CNN has essential value in COVID-19 diagnosis. All of them have good performance in the existing experiments. If expanding the datasets, adding GPU acceleration and data preprocessing techniques, and expanding the types of medical images, the performance of CNN will be further improved. This paper wishes to make contributions to future research.

Abstract
SARS-CoV-2 is the causative agent of COVID-19 and leaves characteristic impressions on chest Computed Tomography (CT) images in infected patients and this analysis is performed by radiologists through visual reading of lung images, and failures may occur. In this article, we propose a classification model, called Wavelet Convolutional Neural Network (WCNN) that aims to improve the differentiation of images of patients with COVID-19 from images of patients with other lung infections. The WCNN model was based on a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and wavelet transform. The model proposes a new input layer added to the neural network, which was called Wave layer. The hyperparameters values were defined by ablation tests. WCNN was applied to chest CT images to images from two internal and one external repositories. For all repositories, the average results of Accuracy (ACC), Sensitivity (Sen) and Specificity (Sp) were calculated. Subsequently, the average results of the repositories were consolidated, and the final values were ACC = 0.9819, Sen = 0.9783 and Sp = 0.98. The WCNN model uses a new Wave input layer, which standardizes the network input, without using data augmentation, resizing and segmentation techniques, maintaining the integrity of the tomographic image analysis. Thus, applications developed based on WCNN have the potential to assist radiologists with a second opinion in the analysis.1.

Abstract
Purpose The development of a robust model for automatic identification of COVID-19 based on chest x-rays has been a widely addressed topic over the last couple of years; however, the scarcity of good quality images sets, and their limited size, have proven to be an important obstacle to obtain reliable models. In fact, models proposed so far have suffered from over-fitting erroneous features instead of learning lung features, a phenomenon known as shortcut learning. In this research, a new image classification methodology is proposed that attempts to mitigate this problem. Methods To this end, annotation by expert radiologists of a set of images was performed. The lung region was then segmented and a new classification strategy based on a patch partitioning that improves the resolution of the convolution neural network is proposed. In addition, a set of native images, used as an external evaluation set, is released. Results The best results were obtained for the 6-patch splitting variant with 0.887 accuracy, 0.85 recall and 0.848 F1score on the external validation set. Conclusion The results show that the proposed new strategy maintains similar values between internal and external validation, which gives our model generalization power, making it available for use in hospital settings.

Abstract
COVID-19 has caused enormous challenges to global economy and public health. The identification of patients with the COVID-19 infection by CT scan images helps prevent its pandemic. Manual screening COVID-19-related CT images spends a lot of time and resources. Artificial intelligence techniques including deep learning can effectively aid doctors and medical workers to screen the COVID-19 patients. In this study, we developed an ensemble deep learning framework, DeepDSR, by combining DenseNet, Swin transformer, and RegNet for COVID-19 image identification. First, we integrate three available COVID-19-related CT image datasets to one larger dataset. Second, we pretrain weights of DenseNet, Swin Transformer, and RegNet on the ImageNet dataset based on transformer learning. Third, we continue to train DenseNet, Swin Transformer, and RegNet on the integrated larger image dataset. Finally, the classification results are obtained by integrating results from the above three models and the soft voting approach. The proposed DeepDSR model is compared to three state-of-the-art deep learning models (EfficientNetV2, ResNet, and Vision transformer) and three individual models (DenseNet, Swin transformer, and RegNet) for binary classification and three-classification problems. The results show that DeepDSR computes the best precision of 0.9833, recall of 0.9895, accuracy of 0.9894, F1-score of 0.9864, AUC of 0.9991 and AUPR of 0.9986 under binary classification problem, and significantly outperforms other methods. Furthermore, DeepDSR obtains the best precision of 0.9740, recall of 0.9653, accuracy of 0.9737, and F1-score of 0.9695 under three-classification problem, further suggesting its powerful image identification ability. We anticipate that the proposed DeepDSR framework contributes to the diagnosis of COVID-19.

Deep Learning Models for Fast Retrieval and Extraction of French Speech Vocabulary Applications. COMPUTATIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND NEUROSCIENCE 2022; 2022:4286659. [PMID: 35845913 PMCID: PMC9287002 DOI: 10.1155/2022/4286659] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2022] [Accepted: 06/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Due to the large French vocabulary, how quickly retrieve and accurately identify the required vocabulary is still a big challenge in French learning. In view of the above problems, we introduce a deep learning algorithm in this study to upgrade and optimize the retrieval system of French words and optimize the acquisition speed of speech words data and the recognition accuracy of speech words, so as to meet the needs of users for word retrieval. The results show that the two training methods of SGD synchronous update network and alternate update network parameters for fast retrieval and extraction of French speech vocabulary reduce from a maximum of 11.65% to 4.25% in the WER criterion, with a maximum reduction of 7.4%; the two training methods of SGD synchronous update network and alternate update network parameters for fast retrieval and extraction of French speech vocabulary reduce from a maximum of 13.52% to 4.4% in the SER criterion. The training methods of fast retrieval and extraction of the SGD synchronous update network and alternate update network parameters in French speech vocabulary reduced from the highest 582 ms to 351 ms in the response time criterion, with a maximum reduction of 8.84%; the maximum reduction of 39.7%. In French speech vocabulary, SGD synchronous updating network and alternating updating network parameter algorithm are used to quickly retrieve and extract French words. When the number of iterations reaches 120, the model fitting accuracy of the training set reaches 90.05%, while the model can reach 94.5% in the test set. The system has a stronger generalization ability and a higher speech vocabulary recognition rate to meet the practical requirements.
