A hybrid CNN-Random Forest algorithm for bacterial spore segmentation and classification in TEM images.

ABSTRACT: We present a new approach to segment and classify bacterial spore layers from Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) images using a hybrid Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Random Forest (RF) classifier algorithm. This approach utilizes deep learning, with the CNN extracting features from images, and the RF classifier using those features for classification. The proposed model achieved 73% accuracy, 64% precision, 46% sensitivity, and 47% F1-score with test data. Compared to other classifiers such as AdaBoost, XGBoost, and SVM, our proposed model demonstrates greater robustness and higher generalization ability for non-linear segmentation. Our model is also able to identify spores with a damaged core as verified using TEMs of chemically exposed spores. Therefore, the proposed method will be valuable for identifying and characterizing spore features in TEM images, reducing labor-intensive work as well as human bias.

A Random-Forest Based Algorithm for Prediction of Enhancers From Histone Modifications

Project description:Transcriptional enhancers play critical roles in regulation of gene expression, but their identification has remained a challenge. Recently, it was shown that enhancers in the mammalian genome are associated with characteristic histone modification patterns, which have been increasingly exploited for enhancer identification. However, only a limited number of histone modifications have previously been investigated for this purpose, leaving the questions answered whether there exist an optimal set of histone modifications that could improve the enhancer prediction. Here, we address this issue by exploring a rich dataset produced by the human Epigenome Roadmap Project. Specifically, we examined genome-wide profiles of 24 histone modifications in human embryonic stem cells and fibroblasts, and developed a Random-Forest based algorithm to integrate histone modification profiles for identification of enhancers.As a training set, we used histone modification profiles at genome-wide binding sites of p300 in the two cell types identified using ChIP-seq. We show that this algorithm not only leads to more accurate and precise prediction of enhancers than previous methods, but also helps identify an optimal set of three chromatin marks for enhancer prediction.

A block cipher algorithm identification scheme based on hybrid k-nearest neighbor and random forest algorithm.

Project description:Cryptographic algorithm identification, which refers to analyzing and identifying the encryption algorithm used in cryptographic system, is of great significance to cryptanalysis. In order to improve the accuracy of identification work, this article proposes a new ensemble learning-based model named hybrid k-nearest neighbor and random forest (HKNNRF), and constructs a block cipher algorithm identification scheme. In the ciphertext-only scenario, we use NIST randomness test methods to extract ciphertext features, and carry out binary-classification and five-classification experiments on the block cipher algorithms using proposed scheme. Experiments show that when the ciphertext size and other experimental conditions are the same, compared with the baselines, the HKNNRF model has higher classification accuracy. Specifically, the average binary-classification identification accuracy of HKNNRF is 69.5%, which is 13%, 12.5%, and 10% higher than the single-layer support vector machine (SVM), k-nearest neighbor (KNN), and random forest (RF) respectively. The five-classification identification accuracy can reach 34%, which is higher than the 21% accuracy of KNN, the 22% accuracy of RF and the 23% accuracy of SVM respectively under the same experimental conditions.

Multilevel segmentation of 2D and volumetric medical images using hybrid Coronavirus Optimization Algorithm.

Project description:Medical image segmentation is a crucial step in Computer-Aided Diagnosis systems, where accurate segmentation is vital for perfect disease diagnoses. This paper proposes a multilevel thresholding technique for 2D and 3D medical image segmentation using Otsu and Kapur's entropy methods as fitness functions to determine the optimum threshold values. The proposed algorithm applies the hybridization concept between the recent Coronavirus Optimization Algorithm (COVIDOA) and Harris Hawks Optimization Algorithm (HHOA) to benefit from both algorithms' strengths and overcome their limitations. The improved performance of the proposed algorithm over COVIDOA and HHOA algorithms is demonstrated by solving 5 test problems from IEEE CEC 2019 benchmark problems. Medical image segmentation is tested using two groups of images, including 2D medical images and volumetric (3D) medical images, to demonstrate its superior performance. The utilized test images are from different modalities such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Computed Tomography (CT), and X-ray images. The proposed algorithm is compared with seven well-known metaheuristic algorithms, where the performance is evaluated using four different metrics, including the best fitness values, Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR), Structural Similarity Index (SSIM), and Normalized Correlation Coefficient (NCC). The experimental results demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed algorithm in terms of convergence to the global optimum and making a good balance between exploration and exploitation properties. Moreover, the quality of the segmented images using the proposed algorithm at different threshold levels is better than the other methods according to PSNR, SSIM, and NCC values. Additionally, the Wilcoxon rank-sum test is conducted to prove the statistical significance of the proposed algorithm.

tRForest: a novel random forest-based algorithm for tRNA-derived fragment target prediction

Project description:tRNA fragments (tRFs) are a novel class of small RNAs comparable to the size and function of miRNAs. We and others have shown that tRFs are generally Dicer independent, can be found in abundance in the miRNA effector protein Ago, and can repress expression of specific genes that have complementarity to their 5’ seed-sequences. Given that this greatly expands the repertoire of small RNAs capable of post-transcriptional gene expression, it is important to predict tRF targets with confidence. Some attempts have been made to predict tRF targets, but are limited in the scope of tRF classes used in prediction or limited in feature selection. We hypothesized that established miRNA target prediction features applied to tRFs through a random forest machine learning algorithm will immensely improve tRF target prediction. Using this approach, we show significant improvements in tRF target prediction for all classes of tRFs and validate our predictions in two independent cell lines. Finally, using Gene Ontology analysis, we provide evidence that tRF-3009a targets may be involved in neural development. These improvements to tRF target prediction further our understanding of tRF function broadly across species and tRF types, and provide avenues for testing novel roles for tRFs in biology.

Seed classification with random forest models.

Project description:PremiseTo improve forest conservation monitoring, we developed a protocol to automatically count and identify the seeds of plant species with minimal resource requirements, making the process more efficient and less dependent on human operators.Methods and resultsSeeds from six North American conifer tree species were separated from leaf litter and imaged on a flatbed scanner. In the most successful species-classification approach, an ImageJ macro automatically extracted measurements for random forest classification in the software R. The method allows for good classification accuracy, and the same process can be used to train the model on other species.ConclusionsThis protocol is an adaptable tool for efficient and consistent identification of seed species or potentially other objects. Automated seed classification is efficient and inexpensive, making it a practical solution that enhances the feasibility of large-scale monitoring projects in conservation biology.

Reduced and stable feature sets selection with random forest for neurons segmentation in histological images of macaque brain.

Project description:In preclinical research, histology images are produced using powerful optical microscopes to digitize entire sections at cell scale. Quantification of stained tissue relies on machine learning driven segmentation. However, such methods require multiple additional information, or features, which are increasing the quantity of data to process. As a result, the quantity of features to deal with represents a drawback to process large series or massive histological images rapidly in a robust manner. Existing feature selection methods can reduce the amount of required information but the selected subsets lack reproducibility. We propose a novel methodology operating on high performance computing (HPC) infrastructures and aiming at finding small and stable sets of features for fast and robust segmentation of high-resolution histological images. This selection has two steps: (1) selection at features families scale (an intermediate pool of features, between spaces and individual features) and (2) feature selection performed on pre-selected features families. We show that the selected sets of features are stables for two different neuron staining. In order to test different configurations, one of these dataset is a mono-subject dataset and the other is a multi-subjects dataset to test different configurations. Furthermore, the feature selection results in a significant reduction of computation time and memory cost. This methodology will allow exhaustive histological studies at a high-resolution scale on HPC infrastructures for both preclinical and clinical research.

Detection and Classification of Immature Leukocytes for Diagnosis of Acute Myeloid Leukemia Using Random Forest Algorithm.

Project description:Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a fatal blood cancer that progresses rapidly and hinders the function of blood cells and the immune system. The current AML diagnostic method, a manual examination of the peripheral blood smear, is time consuming, labor intensive, and suffers from considerable inter-observer variation. Herein, a machine learning model to detect and classify immature leukocytes for efficient diagnosis of AML is presented. Images of leukocytes in AML patients and healthy controls were obtained from a publicly available dataset in The Cancer Imaging Archive. Image format conversion, multi-Otsu thresholding, and morphological operations were used for segmentation of the nucleus and cytoplasm. From each image, 16 features were extracted, two of which are new nucleus color features proposed in this study. A random forest algorithm was trained for the detection and classification of immature leukocytes. The model achieved 92.99% accuracy for detection and 93.45% accuracy for classification of immature leukocytes into four types. Precision values for each class were above 65%, which is an improvement on the current state of art. Based on Gini importance, the nucleus to cytoplasm area ratio was a discriminative feature for both detection and classification, while the two proposed features were shown to be significant for classification. The proposed model can be used as a support tool for the diagnosis of AML, and the features calculated to be most important serve as a baseline for future research.

Random forest algorithm identifies miRNA signatures for breast cancer detection and classification from patient urine samples.

Project description:Background and objectivesBreast cancer is the most common cancer in women, with one in eight women suffering from this disease in her lifetime. The implementation of centrally organized mammography screening for women between 50 and 69 years of age was a major step in the direction of early detection. However, the participation rate reaches approximately 50% of the eligible women, one reason being the painful compression of the breast, cited as a major issue for not participating in this very important program. Therefore, focusing current research on less painful and less invasive techniques for the detection of breast cancer is highly clinically relevant. Liquid biopsies offer this option by detection of distinct molecules such as microRNAs (miRNAs) or circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) or disseminated tumor cells.Design and methodsHere, we present the first proof-of-concept approach for sequencing miRNAs in female urine to detect breast cancer and, subsequently, intrinsic subtype-specific miRNA patterns and implement in this regard a novel random forest algorithm. To this end, we performed miRNA sequencing on 82 urine samples, 32 samples from breast cancer patients (9× luminal A, 8× luminal B, 9× triple-negative, and 6× HER2) and 50 healthy control samples.Results and conclusionUsing a random forest algorithm, we identified a signature of 275 miRNAs that allows the detection of invasive breast cancer in urine. Furthermore, we identified distinct miRNA expression patterns for the major intrinsic subtypes of breast cancer, specifically luminal A, luminal B, HER2-enriched, and triple-negative breast cancer. This experimental approach specifically validates miRNA sequencing as a technique for breast cancer detection in urine samples and opens the door to a new, easy, and painless procedure for different breast cancer-related medical procedures such as screening but also treatment monitoring.
