In vivo diseases such as colorectal cancer and gastric cancer are increasingly occurring in humans. These are two of the most common types of cancer that cause death worldwide. Therefore, the early detection and treatment of these types of cancer are crucial for saving lives. With the advances in technology and image processing techniques, computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems have been developed and applied in several medical systems to assist doctors in diagnosing diseases using imaging technology. In this study, we propose a CAD method to preclassify the in vivo endoscopic images into negative (images without evidence of a disease) and positive (images that possibly include pathological sites such as a polyp or suspected regions including complex vascular information) cases. The goal of our study is to assist doctors to focus on the positive frames of endoscopic sequence rather than the negative frames. Consequently, we can help in enhancing the performance and mitigating the efforts of doctors in the diagnosis procedure. Although previous studies were conducted to solve this problem, they were mostly based on a single classification model, thus limiting the classification performance. Thus, we propose the use of multiple classification models based on ensemble learning techniques to enhance the performance of pathological site classification. Through experiments with an open database, we confirmed that the ensemble of multiple deep learning-based models with different network architectures is more efficient for enhancing the performance of pathological site classification using a CAD system as compared to the state-of-the-art methods.

[This Proceedings paper was revised and published in the 2019 issue of the journal Informing Science: The International Journal of an Emerging Transdiscipline, Volume 22] Aim/Purpose: The aim of this paper is to propose an ensemble learners based classification model for classification clickbaits from genuine article headlines. Background: Clickbaits are online articles with deliberately designed misleading titles for luring more and more readers to open the intended web page. Clickbaits are used to tempted visitors to click on a particular link either to monetize the landing page or to spread the false news for sensationalization. The presence of clickbaits on any news aggregator portal may lead to an unpleasant experience for readers. Therefore, it is essential to distinguish clickbaits from authentic headlines to mitigate their impact on readers’ perception. Methodology: A total of one hundred thousand article headlines are collected from news aggregator sites consists of clickbaits and authentic news headlines. The collected data samples are divided into five training sets of balanced and unbalanced data. The natural language processing techniques are used to extract 19 manually selected features from article headlines. Contribution: Three ensemble learning techniques including bagging, boosting, and random forests are used to design a classifier model for classifying a given headline into the clickbait or non-clickbait. The performances of learners are evaluated using accuracy, precision, recall, and F-measures. Findings: It is observed that the random forest classifier detects clickbaits better than the other classifiers with an accuracy of 91.16 %, a total precision, recall, and f-measure of 91 %.

Rock classification is a significant branch of geology which can help understand the formation and evolution of the planet, search for mineral resources, and so on. In traditional methods, rock classification is usually done based on the experience of a professional. However, this method has problems such as low efficiency and susceptibility to subjective factors. Therefore, it is of great significance to establish a simple, fast, and accurate rock classification model. This paper proposes a fine-grained image classification network combining image cutting method and SBV algorithm to improve the classification performance of a small number of fine-grained rock samples. The method uses image cutting to achieve data augmentation without adding additional datasets and uses image block voting scoring to obtain richer complementary information, thereby improving the accuracy of image classification. The classification accuracy of 32 images is 75%, 68.75%, and 75%. The results show that the method proposed in this paper has a significant improvement in the accuracy of image classification, which is 34.375%, 18.75%, and 43.75% higher than that of the original algorithm. It verifies the effectiveness of the algorithm in this paper and at the same time proves that deep learning has great application value in the field of geology.

This paper presents the design and development of an embedded system for ‘Carabao’ or Philippine mango sorting utilizing deep learning techniques. In particular, the proposed system initially takes as input a top view image of the mango, which is consequently rolled over to evaluate every sides. The input images were processed by Single Shot MultiBox Detector (SSD) MobileNet for mango detection and Multi-Task Learning Convolutional Neural Network (MTL-CNN) for classification/sorting ripeness and basic quality, running on an embedded computer, i.e. Raspberry Pi 3. Our dataset consisting of 2800 mango images derived from about 270 distinct mango fruits were annotated for multiple classification tasks, namely, basic quality (defective or good) and ripeness (green, semi-ripe, and ripe). The mango detection results achieved a total precision score of 0.92 and a mean average precision (mAP) of over 0.8 in the final checkpoint. The basic quality classification accuracy results were 0.98 and 0.92, respectively, for defective and good quality, while the ripeness classification for green, ripe, and semi-ripe were 1.0, 1.0, and 0.91, respectively. Overall, the results demonstrated the feasibility of our proposed embedded system for image-based Carabao mango sorting using deep learning techniques.

Parkinson's disease (PD) affects the movement of people, including the differences in writing skill, speech, tremor, and stiffness in muscles. It is significant to detect the PD at the initial stages so that the person can live a peaceful life for a longer time period. The serious levels of PD are highly risky as the patients get progressive stiffness, which results in the inability of standing or walking. Earlier studies have focused on the detection of PD effectively using voice and speech exams and writing exams. In this aspect, this study presents an improved sailfish optimization algorithm with deep learning (ISFO-DL) model for PD diagnosis and classification. The presented ISFO-DL technique uses the ISFO algorithm and DL model to determine PD and thereby enhances the survival rate of the person. The presented ISFO is a metaheuristic algorithm, which is inspired by a group of hunting sailfish to determine the optimum solution to the problem. Primarily, the ISFO algorithm is applied to derive an optimal subset of features with a fitness function of maximum classification accuracy. At the same time, the rat swarm optimizer (RSO) with the bidirectional gated recurrent unit (BiGRU) is employed as a classifier to determine the existence of PD. The performance validation of the IFSO-DL model takes place using a benchmark Parkinson’s dataset, and the results are inspected under several dimensions. The experimental results highlighted the enhanced classification performance of the ISFO-DL technique, and therefore, the proposed model can be employed for the earlier identification of PD.

In the traditional image processing approaches, first low-level image features are extracted and then they are sent to a classifier or a recognizer for further processing. While the traditional image processing techniques employ this step-by-step approach, majority of the recent studies prefer layered architectures which both extract features and do the classification or recognition tasks. These architectures are referred as deep learning techniques and they are applicable if sufficient amount of labeled data is available and the minimum system requirements are met. Nevertheless, most of the time either the data is insufficient or the system sources are not enough. In this study, we experimented how it is still possible to obtain an effective visual representation by combining low-level visual features with features from a simple deep learning model. As a result, combinational features gave rise to 0.80 accuracy on the image data set while the performance of low-level features and deep learning features were 0.70 and 0.74 respectively.

Abstract In this study, we present USDL, a novel model that employs deep learning algorithms in order to reconstruct and enhance corrupted ultrasound images. We utilize an unsupervised neural network called an autoencoder which works by compressing its input into a latent-space representation and then reconstructing the output from this representation. We trained our model on a dataset that compromises of 15,700 in vivo images of the neck, wrist, elbow, and knee vasculature and compared the quality of the images generated using the structural similarity index (SSIM) and peak to noise ratio (PSNR). In closely simulated conditions, the architecture exhibited an average reconstruction accuracy of 90% as indicated by our SSIM. Our study demonstrates that USDL outperforms state of the art image enhancement and reconstruction techniques in both image quality and computational complexity, while maintaining the architecture efficiency.
