Data Driven Approach

Whale vocal calls contain valuable information and abundant characteristics that are important for classification of whale sub-populations and related biological research. In this study, an effective data-driven approach based on pre-trained Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) using multi-scale waveforms and time-frequency feature representations is developed in order to perform the classification of whale calls from a large open-source dataset recorded by sensors carried by whales. Specifically, the classification is carried out through a transfer learning approach by using pre-trained state-of-the-art CNN models in the field of computer vision. 1D raw waveforms and 2D log-mel features of the whale-call data are respectively used as the input of CNN models. For raw waveform input, windows are applied to capture multiple sketches of a whale-call clip at different time scales and stack the features from different sketches for classification. When using the log-mel features, the delta and delta-delta features are also calculated to produce a 3-channel feature representation for analysis. In the training, a 4-fold cross-validation technique is employed to reduce the overfitting effect, while the Mix-up technique is also applied to implement data augmentation in order to further improve the system performance. The results show that the proposed method can improve the accuracies by more than 20% in percentage for the classification into 16 whale pods compared with the baseline method using groups of 2D shape descriptors of spectrograms and the Fisher discriminant scores on the same dataset. Moreover, it is shown that classifications based on log-mel features have higher accuracies than those based directly on raw waveforms. The phylogeny graph is also produced to significantly illustrate the relationships among the whale sub-populations.

Learning Framework

Brain tumor is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death globally among children and adults. Precise classification of brain tumor grade (low-grade and high-grade glioma) at an early stage plays a key role in successful prognosis and treatment planning. With recent advances in deep learning, artificial intelligence–enabled brain tumor grading systems can assist radiologists in the interpretation of medical images within seconds. The performance of deep learning techniques is, however, highly depended on the size of the annotated dataset. It is extremely challenging to label a large quantity of medical images, given the complexity and volume of medical data. In this work, we propose a novel transfer learning–based active learning framework to reduce the annotation cost while maintaining stability and robustness of the model performance for brain tumor classification. In this retrospective research, we employed a 2D slice–based approach to train and fine-tune our model on the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) training dataset of 203 patients and a validation dataset of 66 patients which was used as the baseline. With our proposed method, the model achieved area under receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) of 82.89% on a separate test dataset of 66 patients, which was 2.92% higher than the baseline AUC while saving at least 40% of labeling cost. In order to further examine the robustness of our method, we created a balanced dataset, which underwent the same procedure. The model achieved AUC of 82% compared with AUC of 78.48% for the baseline, which reassures the robustness and stability of our proposed transfer learning augmented with active learning framework while significantly reducing the size of training data.

Abstract With lot happening in the field of Deep Learning, classification of brain tumor is still a matter of concern. Brain tumor segmentation and classification using MRI scans has achieved lot of interest in the area of medical imaging. The emphasis still lies on developing automatic computer-aided system for early predictions and diagnosis. MRI of brain Tumors not only varies in shape but sometimes gives less contrasted details also. In this paper, we present a FastAI based Transfer Learning tumor classification in which pre-trained model with segmented features classifies tumor based on its learning. The proposed model with the technique of Deep learning applies ResNet152 as base model to extract features from the MRI brain images. With certain changes in the last 3 layers of ResNet152, 97% accuracy in Dataset-253, 96% accuracy in Dataset-205 is achieved. Models such as Resnet50, VGG16, ResNet34 and Basic CNN is also evaluated. The model improved from ResNet152 has provided improved results. The observations suggest that usage of Transfer Learning is effective when the Dataset is limited. The prepared model is effective and can be collaborated in computer-aided brain MR images Tumor classification.
