An esophageal cancer intelligent diagnosis system is developed to improve the recognition rate of esophageal cancer image diagnosis and the efficiency of physicians, as well as to improve the level of esophageal cancer image diagnosis in primary care institutions. In this paper, by collecting medical images related to esophageal cancer over the years, we establish an intelligent diagnosis system based on the convolutional neural network for esophageal cancer images through the steps of data annotation, image preprocessing, data enhancement, and deep learning to assist doctors in intelligent diagnosis. The convolutional neural network-based esophageal cancer image intelligent diagnosis system has been successfully applied in hospitals and widely praised by frontline doctors. This system is beneficial for primary care physicians to improve the overall accuracy of esophageal cancer diagnosis and reduce the risk of death of esophageal cancer patients. We also analyze that the efficacy of radiation therapy for esophageal cancer can be influenced by many factors, and clinical attention should be paid to grasp the relevant factors in order to improve the final treatment effect and prognosis of patients.

To secure cloud computing and outsourced data while meeting the requirements of automation, many intrusion detection schemes based on deep learn ing are proposed. Though the detection rate of many network intrusion detection solutions can be quite high nowadays, their identification accuracy on imbalanced abnormal network traffic still remains low. Therefore, this paper proposes a ResNet &Inception-based convolutional neural network (RICNN) model to abnormal traffic classification. RICNN can learn more traffic features through the Inception unit, and the degradation problem of the network is eliminated through the direct map ping unit of ResNet, thus the improvement of the model?s generalization ability can be achievable. In addition, to simplify the network, an improved version of RICNN, which makes it possible to reduce the number of parameters that need to be learnt without degrading identification accuracy, is also proposed in this paper. The experimental results on the dataset CICIDS2017 show that RICNN not only achieves an overall accuracy of 99.386% but also has a high detection rate across different categories, especially for small samples. The comparison experiments show that the recognition rate of RICNN outperforms a variety of CNN models and RNN models, and the best detection accuracy can be achieved.

Persian handwritten digit recognition is one of the important topics of image processing which significantly considered by researchers due to its many applications. The most important challenges in Persian handwritten digit recognition is the existence of various patterns in Persian digit writing that makes the feature extraction step to be more complicated.Since the handcraft feature extraction methods are complicated processes and their performance level are not stable, most of the recent studies have concentrated on proposing a suitable method for automatic feature extraction. In this paper, an automatic method based on machine learning is proposed for high-level feature extraction from Persian digit images by using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). After that, a non-linear multi-class Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier is used for data classification instead of fully connected layer in final layer of CNN. The proposed method has been applied to HODA dataset and obtained 99.56% of recognition rate. Experimental results are comparable with previous state-of-the-art methods

Abstract Background Both lymphovascular invasion, which is characterized by penetration of tumor cells into the peritumoural vascular or lymphatic network, and perineural invasion, which is characterized by involvement of tumor cells surrounding nerve fibers, are considered as an important step for tumor spreading, and are known poor prognostic factors in esophageal cancer. However, the information of these histological features is unavailable until pathological examination of surgical resected specimens. We aim to predict the presence or absence of these factors by positron emission tomography images during staging workup. Methods The positron emission tomography images before treatment and pathological reports of 278 patients who underwent esophagectomy for squamous cell carcinoma were collected. Stepwise convolutional neural network was constructed to distinguish patient with either lymphovascular invasion or perineural invasion from those without. Results Randomly selected 248 patients were included in the testing set. Stepwise approach was used in training our custom neural network. The performance of fine-tuned neural network was tested in another independent 30 patients. The accuracy rate of predicting the presence or absence of either lymphovascular invasion or perineural invasion was 66.7% (20 of 30 were accurate). Conclusion Using pre-treatment positron emission tomography images alone to predict the presence of absence of poor prognostic histological factors, i.e. lymphovascular invasion or perineural invasion, with deep convolutional neural network is possible. The technique of deep learning may identify patients with poor prognosis and enable personalized medicine in esophageal cancer. Disclosure All authors have declared no conflicts of interest.

Reciprocating compressors play a vital role in oil, natural gas, and general industrial processes. Their safe and stable operation directly affects the healthy development of the enterprise economy. Since the valve failure accounts for 60% of the total failures when the reciprocating compressor fails, it is of great significance to quickly find and diagnose the failure type of the valve for the fault diagnosis of the reciprocating compressor. At present, reciprocating compressor valve fault diagnosis based on deep neural networks requires sufficient labeled data for training, but valve in real-case reciprocating compressor (VRRC) does not have enough labeled data to train a reliable model. Fortunately, the data of valve in laboratory reciprocating compressor (VLRC) contains relevant fault diagnosis knowledge. Therefore, inspired by the idea of transfer learning, a fault diagnosis method for reciprocating compressor valves based on transfer learning convolutional neural network (TCNN) is proposed. This method uses convolutional neural network (CNN) to extract the transferable features of gas temperature and pressure data from VLRC and VRRC and establish pseudolabels for VRRC unlabeled data. Three regularization terms, the maximum mean discrepancy (MMD) of the transferable features of VLRC and VRRC data, the error between the VLRC sample label prediction and the actual label, and the error between the VRRC sample label prediction and the pseudolabel, are proposed. Their weighted sum is used as an objective function to train the model, thereby reducing the distribution difference of domain feature transfer and increasing the distance between learning feature classes. Experimental results show that this method uses VLRC data to identify the health status of VRRC, and the fault recognition rate can reach 98.32%. Compared with existing methods, this method has higher diagnostic accuracy, which proves the effectiveness of this method.
