Rapid and accurate discrimination of Chrysanthemum varieties is very important for producers, consumers and market regulators. The feasibility of using hyperspectral imaging combined with deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) algorithm to identify Chrysanthemum varieties was studied in this paper. Hyperspectral images in the spectral range of 874–1734 nm were collected for 11,038 samples of seven varieties. Principal component analysis (PCA) was introduced for qualitative analysis. Score images of the first five PCs were used to explore the differences between different varieties. Second derivative (2nd derivative) method was employed to select optimal wavelengths. Support vector machine (SVM), logistic regression (LR), and DCNN were used to construct discriminant models using full wavelengths and optimal wavelengths. The results showed that all models based on full wavelengths achieved better performance than those based on optimal wavelengths. DCNN based on full wavelengths obtained the best results with an accuracy close to 100% on both training set and testing set. This optimal model was utilized to visualize the classification results. The overall results indicated that hyperspectral imaging combined with DCNN was a very powerful tool for rapid and accurate discrimination of Chrysanthemum varieties. The proposed method exhibited important potential for developing an online Chrysanthemum evaluation system.

In order to improve the low accuracy of the face recognition methods in the case of e-health, this paper proposed a novel face recognition approach, which is based on convolutional neural network (CNN). In detail, through resolving the convolutional kernel, rectified linear unit (ReLU) activation function, dropout, and batch normalization, this novel approach reduces the number of parameters of the CNN model, improves the non-linearity of the CNN model, and alleviates overfitting of the CNN model. In these ways, the accuracy of face recognition is increased. In the experiments, the proposed approach is compared with principal component analysis (PCA) and support vector machine (SVM) on ORL, Cohn-Kanade, and extended Yale-B face recognition data set, and it proves that this approach is promising.

Segmentation Methods

Among the currently proposed brain segmentation methods, brain tumor segmentation methods based on traditional image processing and machine learning are not ideal enough. Therefore, deep learning-based brain segmentation methods are widely used. In the brain tumor segmentation method based on deep learning, the convolutional network model has a good brain segmentation effect. The deep convolutional network model has the problems of a large number of parameters and large loss of information in the encoding and decoding process. This paper proposes a deep convolutional neural network fusion support vector machine algorithm (DCNN-F-SVM). The proposed brain tumor segmentation model is mainly divided into three stages. In the first stage, a deep convolutional neural network is trained to learn the mapping from image space to tumor marker space. In the second stage, the predicted labels obtained from the deep convolutional neural network training are input into the integrated support vector machine classifier together with the test images. In the third stage, a deep convolutional neural network and an integrated support vector machine are connected in series to train a deep classifier. Run each model on the BraTS dataset and the self-made dataset to segment brain tumors. The segmentation results show that the performance of the proposed model is significantly better than the deep convolutional neural network and the integrated SVM classifier.

Whole Slide Images

Mycobacterial infections continue to greatly affect global health and result in challenging histopathological examinations using digital whole-slide images (WSIs), histopathological methods could be made more convenient. However, screening for stained bacilli is a highly laborious task for pathologists due to the microscopic and inconsistent appearance of bacilli. This study proposed a computer-aided detection (CAD) system based on deep learning to automatically detect acid-fast stained mycobacteria. A total of 613 bacillus-positive image blocks and 1202 negative image blocks were cropped from WSIs (at approximately 20 × 20 pixels) and divided into training and testing samples of bacillus images. After randomly selecting 80% of the samples as the training set and the remaining 20% of samples as the testing set, a transfer learning mechanism based on a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) was applied with a pretrained AlexNet to the target bacillus image blocks. The transferred DCNN model generated the probability that each image block contained a bacillus. A probability higher than 0.5 was regarded as positive for a bacillus. Consequently, the DCNN model achieved an accuracy of 95.3%, a sensitivity of 93.5%, and a specificity of 96.3%. For samples without color information, the performances were an accuracy of 73.8%, a sensitivity of 70.7%, and a specificity of 75.4%. The proposed DCNN model successfully distinguished bacilli from other tissues with promising accuracy. Meanwhile, the contribution of color information was revealed. This information will be helpful for pathologists to establish a more efficient diagnostic procedure.

Speech emotion recognition (SER) plays a significant role in human–machine interaction. Emotion recognition from speech and its precise classification is a challenging task because a machine is unable to understand its context. For an accurate emotion classification, emotionally relevant features must be extracted from the speech data. Traditionally, handcrafted features were used for emotional classification from speech signals; however, they are not efficient enough to accurately depict the emotional states of the speaker. In this study, the benefits of a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) for SER are explored. For this purpose, a pretrained network is used to extract features from state-of-the-art speech emotional datasets. Subsequently, a correlation-based feature selection technique is applied to the extracted features to select the most appropriate and discriminative features for SER. For the classification of emotions, we utilize support vector machines, random forests, the k-nearest neighbors algorithm, and neural network classifiers. Experiments are performed for speaker-dependent and speaker-independent SER using four publicly available datasets: the Berlin Dataset of Emotional Speech (Emo-DB), Surrey Audio Visual Expressed Emotion (SAVEE), Interactive Emotional Dyadic Motion Capture (IEMOCAP), and the Ryerson Audio Visual Dataset of Emotional Speech and Song (RAVDESS). Our proposed method achieves an accuracy of 95.10% for Emo-DB, 82.10% for SAVEE, 83.80% for IEMOCAP, and 81.30% for RAVDESS, for speaker-dependent SER experiments. Moreover, our method yields the best results for speaker-independent SER with existing handcrafted features-based SER approaches.

AbstractIn this paper, we presented a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) approach for forehead tissue thickness estimation. We use down sampled NIR laser backscattering images acquired from a novel marker-less near-infrared laser-based head tracking system, combined with the beam’s incident angle parameter. These two-channel augmented images were constructed for the CNN input, while a single node output layer represents the estimated value of the forehead tissue thickness. The models were – separately for each subject – trained and tested on datasets acquired from 30 subjects (high resolution MRI data is used as ground truth). To speed up training, we used a pre-trained network from the first subject to bootstrap training for each of the other subjects. We could show a clear improvement for the tissue thickness estimation (mean RMSE of 0.096 mm). This proposed CNN model outperformed previous support vector regression (mean RMSE of 0.155 mm) or Gaussian processes learning approaches (mean RMSE of 0.114 mm) and eliminated their restrictions for future research.

Background. The availability of large databases containing high resolution three-dimensional (3D) models of proteins in conjunction with functional annotation allows the exploitation of advanced supervised machine learning techniques for automatic protein function prediction. Methods. In this work, novel shape features are extracted representing protein structure in the form of local (per amino acid) distribution of angles and amino acid distances, respectively. Each of the multi-channel feature maps is introduced into a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) for function prediction and the outputs are fused through Support Vector Machines (SVM) or a correlation-based k-nearest neighbor classifier. Two different architectures are investigated employing either one CNN per multi-channel feature set, or one CNN per image channel. Results. Cross validation experiments on enzymes (n = 44,661) from the PDB database achieved 90.1% correct classification demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed method for automatic function annotation of protein structures. Discussion. The automatic prediction of protein function can provide quick annotations on extensive datasets opening the path for relevant applications, such as pharmacological target identification.

The Brain

The diagnosis of brain diseases based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a mainstream practice. In the course of practical treatment, medical personnel observe and analyze the changes in the size, position, and shape of various brain tissues in the brain MRI image, thereby judging whether the brain tissue has been diseased, and formulating the corresponding medical plan. The conclusion drawn after observing the image will be influenced by the subjective experience of the experts and is not objective. Therefore, it has become necessary to try to avoid subjective factors interfering with the diagnosis. This paper proposes an intelligent diagnosis model based on improved deep convolutional neural network (IDCNN). This model introduces integrated support vector machine (SVM) into IDCNN. During image segmentation, if IDCNN has problems such as irrational layer settings, too many parameters, etc., it will make its segmentation accuracy low. This study made a slight adjustment to the structure of IDCNN. First, adjust the number of convolution layers and down-sampling layers in the DCNN network structure, adjust the network’s activation function, and optimize the parameters to improve IDCNN’s non-linear expression ability. Then, use the integrated SVM classifier to replace the original Softmax classifier in IDCNN to improve its classification ability. The simulation experiment results tell that compared with the model before improvement and other classic classifiers, IDCNN improves segmentation results and promote the intelligent diagnosis of brain tissue.
