Deep convolutional neural networks for accurate somatic mutation detection.

ABSTRACT: Accurate detection of somatic mutations is still a challenge in cancer analysis. Here we present NeuSomatic, the first convolutional neural network approach for somatic mutation detection, which significantly outperforms previous methods on different sequencing platforms, sequencing strategies, and tumor purities. NeuSomatic summarizes sequence alignments into small matrices and incorporates more than a hundred features to capture mutation signals effectively. It can be used universally as a stand-alone somatic mutation detection method or with an ensemble of existing methods to achieve the highest accuracy.

Prostate Cancer Detection using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks.

Project description:Prostate cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer and the third leading cause of cancer death in North America. As an integrated part of computer-aided detection (CAD) tools, diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) has been intensively studied for accurate detection of prostate cancer. With deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) significant success in computer vision tasks such as object detection and segmentation, different CNN architectures are increasingly investigated in medical imaging research community as promising solutions for designing more accurate CAD tools for cancer detection. In this work, we developed and implemented an automated CNN-based pipeline for detection of clinically significant prostate cancer (PCa) for a given axial DWI image and for each patient. DWI images of 427 patients were used as the dataset, which contained 175 patients with PCa and 252 patients without PCa. To measure the performance of the proposed pipeline, a test set of 108 (out of 427) patients were set aside and not used in the training phase. The proposed pipeline achieved area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.87 (95[Formula: see text] Confidence Interval (CI): 0.84-0.90) and 0.84 (95[Formula: see text] CI: 0.76-0.91) at slice level and patient level, respectively.

GlottisNetV2: Temporal Glottal Midline Detection Using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks.

Project description:High-speed videoendoscopy is a major tool for quantitative laryngology. Glottis segmentation and glottal midline detection are crucial for computing vocal fold-specific, quantitative parameters. However, fully automated solutions show limited clinical applicability. Especially unbiased glottal midline detection remains a challenging problem. We developed a multitask deep neural network for glottis segmentation and glottal midline detection. We used techniques from pose estimation to estimate the anterior and posterior points in endoscopy images. Neural networks were set up in TensorFlow/Keras and trained and evaluated with the BAGLS dataset. We found that a dual decoder deep neural network termed GlottisNetV2 outperforms the previously proposed GlottisNet in terms of MAPE on the test dataset (1.85% to 6.3%) while converging faster. Using various hyperparameter tunings, we allow fast and directed training. Using temporal variant data on an additional data set designed for this task, we can improve the median prediction accuracy from 2.1% to 1.76% when using 12 consecutive frames and additional temporal filtering. We found that temporal glottal midline detection using a dual decoder architecture together with keypoint estimation allows accurate midline prediction. We show that our proposed architecture allows stable and reliable glottal midline predictions ready for clinical use and analysis of symmetry measures.

Rib fracture detection in computed tomography images using deep convolutional neural networks.

Project description:AbstractTo evaluate the rib fracture detection performance in computed tomography (CT) images using a software based on a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) and compare it with the rib fracture diagnostic performance of doctors.We included CT images from 39 patients with thoracic injuries who underwent CT scans. In these images, 256 rib fractures were detected by two radiologists. This result was defined as the gold standard. The performances of rib fracture detection by the software and two interns were compared via the McNemar test and the jackknife alternative free-response receiver operating characteristic (JAFROC) analysis.The sensitivity of the DCNN software was significantly higher than those of both Intern A (0.645 vs 0.313; P < .001) and Intern B (0.645 vs 0.258; P < .001). Based on the JAFROC analysis, the differences in the figure-of-merits between the results obtained via the DCNN software and those by Interns A and B were 0.057 (95% confidence interval: -0.081, 0.195) and 0.071 (-0.082, 0.224), respectively. As the non-inferiority margin was set to -0.10, the DCNN software is non-inferior to the rib fracture detection performed by both interns.In the detection of rib fractures, detection by the DCNN software could be an alternative to the interpretation performed by doctors who do not have intensive training experience in image interpretation.

Classification of crystallization outcomes using deep convolutional neural networks.

Project description:The Machine Recognition of Crystallization Outcomes (MARCO) initiative has assembled roughly half a million annotated images of macromolecular crystallization experiments from various sources and setups. Here, state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms are trained and tested on different parts of this data set. We find that more than 94% of the test images can be correctly labeled, irrespective of their experimental origin. Because crystal recognition is key to high-density screening and the systematic analysis of crystallization experiments, this approach opens the door to both industrial and fundamental research applications.

Predicting enhancers with deep convolutional neural networks.

Project description:With the rapid development of deep sequencing techniques in the recent years, enhancers have been systematically identified in such projects as FANTOM and ENCODE, forming genome-wide landscapes in a series of human cell lines. Nevertheless, experimental approaches are still costly and time consuming for large scale identification of enhancers across a variety of tissues under different disease status, making computational identification of enhancers indispensable.To facilitate the identification of enhancers, we propose a computational framework, named DeepEnhancer, to distinguish enhancers from background genomic sequences. Our method purely relies on DNA sequences to predict enhancers in an end-to-end manner by using a deep convolutional neural network (CNN). We train our deep learning model on permissive enhancers and then adopt a transfer learning strategy to fine-tune the model on enhancers specific to a cell line. Results demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of our method in the classification of enhancers against random sequences, exhibiting advantages of deep learning over traditional sequence-based classifiers. We then construct a variety of neural networks with different architectures and show the usefulness of such techniques as max-pooling and batch normalization in our method. To gain the interpretability of our approach, we further visualize convolutional kernels as sequence logos and successfully identify similar motifs in the JASPAR database.DeepEnhancer enables the identification of novel enhancers using only DNA sequences via a highly accurate deep learning model. The proposed computational framework can also be applied to similar problems, thereby prompting the use of machine learning methods in life sciences.

A deep convolutional neural network approach for astrocyte detection.

Project description:Astrocytes are involved in various brain pathologies including trauma, stroke, neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, or chronic pain. Determining cell density in a complex tissue environment in microscopy images and elucidating the temporal characteristics of morphological and biochemical changes is essential to understand the role of astrocytes in physiological and pathological conditions. Nowadays, manual stereological cell counting or semi-automatic segmentation techniques are widely used for the quantitative analysis of microscopy images. Detecting astrocytes automatically is a highly challenging computational task, for which we currently lack efficient image analysis tools. We have developed a fast and fully automated software that assesses the number of astrocytes using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (DCNN). The method highly outperforms state-of-the-art image analysis and machine learning methods and provides precision comparable to those of human experts. Additionally, the runtime of cell detection is significantly less than that of other three computational methods analysed, and it is faster than human observers by orders of magnitude. We applied our DCNN-based method to examine the number of astrocytes in different brain regions of rats with opioid-induced hyperalgesia/tolerance (OIH/OIT), as morphine tolerance is believed to activate glia. We have demonstrated a strong positive correlation between manual and DCNN-based quantification of astrocytes in rat brain.

Automated Training of Deep Convolutional Neural Networks for Cell Segmentation.

Project description:Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (DCNN) have recently emerged as superior for many image segmentation tasks. The DCNN performance is however heavily dependent on the availability of large amounts of problem-specific training samples. Here we show that DCNNs trained on ground truth created automatically using fluorescently labeled cells, perform similar to manual annotations.

Enhancing Evolutionary Couplings with Deep Convolutional Neural Networks.

Project description:While genes are defined by sequence, in biological systems a protein's function is largely determined by its three-dimensional structure. Evolutionary information embedded within multiple sequence alignments provides a rich source of data for inferring structural constraints on macromolecules. Still, many proteins of interest lack sufficient numbers of related sequences, leading to noisy, error-prone residue-residue contact predictions. Here we introduce DeepContact, a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based approach that discovers co-evolutionary motifs and leverages these patterns to enable accurate inference of contact probabilities, particularly when few related sequences are available. DeepContact significantly improves performance over previous methods, including in the CASP12 blind contact prediction task where we achieved top performance with another CNN-based approach. Moreover, our tool converts hard-to-interpret coupling scores into probabilities, moving the field toward a consistent metric to assess contact prediction across diverse proteins. Through substantially improving the precision-recall behavior of contact prediction, DeepContact suggests we are near a paradigm shift in template-free modeling for protein structure prediction.

Deep convolutional neural networks for image-based Convolvulus sepium detection in sugar beet fields.

Project description:Background:Convolvulus sepium (hedge bindweed) detection in sugar beet fields remains a challenging problem due to variation in appearance of plants, illumination changes, foliage occlusions, and different growth stages under field conditions. Current approaches for weed and crop recognition, segmentation and detection rely predominantly on conventional machine-learning techniques that require a large set of hand-crafted features for modelling. These might fail to generalize over different fields and environments. Results:Here, we present an approach that develops a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) based on the tiny YOLOv3 architecture for C. sepium and sugar beet detection. We generated 2271 synthetic images, before combining these images with 452 field images to train the developed model. YOLO anchor box sizes were calculated from the training dataset using a k-means clustering approach. The resulting model was tested on 100 field images, showing that the combination of synthetic and original field images to train the developed model could improve the mean average precision (mAP) metric from 0.751 to 0.829 compared to using collected field images alone. We also compared the performance of the developed model with the YOLOv3 and Tiny YOLO models. The developed model achieved a better trade-off between accuracy and speed. Specifically, the average precisions (APs@IoU0.5) of C. sepium and sugar beet were 0.761 and 0.897 respectively with 6.48 ms inference time per image (800?×?1200) on a NVIDIA Titan X GPU environment. Conclusion:The developed model has the potential to be deployed on an embedded mobile platform like the Jetson TX for online weed detection and management due to its high-speed inference. It is recommendable to use synthetic images and empirical field images together in training stage to improve the performance of models.

Automatic Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Detection in Whole Slide Images Using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks.

Project description:Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the deadliest cancer types worldwide, with the lowest 5-year survival rate among all kinds of cancers. Histopathology image analysis is considered a gold standard for PDAC detection and diagnosis. However, the manual diagnosis used in current clinical practice is a tedious and time-consuming task and diagnosis concordance can be low. With the development of digital imaging and machine learning, several scholars have proposed PDAC analysis approaches based on feature extraction methods that rely on field knowledge. However, feature-based classification methods are applicable only to a specific problem and lack versatility, so that the deep-learning method is becoming a vital alternative to feature extraction. This paper proposes the first deep convolutional neural network architecture for classifying and segmenting pancreatic histopathological images on a relatively large WSI dataset. Our automatic patch-level approach achieved 95.3% classification accuracy and the WSI-level approach achieved 100%. Additionally, we visualized the classification and segmentation outcomes of histopathological images to determine which areas of an image are more important for PDAC identification. Experimental results demonstrate that our proposed model can effectively diagnose PDAC using histopathological images, which illustrates the potential of this practical application.
