ROSE-X: an annotated data set for evaluation of 3D plant organ segmentation methods.

ABSTRACT: Background:The production and availability of annotated data sets are indispensable for training and evaluation of automatic phenotyping methods. The need for complete 3D models of real plants with organ-level labeling is even more pronounced due to the advances in 3D vision-based phenotyping techniques and the difficulty of full annotation of the intricate 3D plant structure. Results:We introduce the ROSE-X data set of 11 annotated 3D models of real rosebush plants acquired through X-ray tomography and presented both in volumetric form and as point clouds. The annotation is performed manually to provide ground truth data in the form of organ labels for the voxels corresponding to the plant shoot. This data set is constructed to serve both as training data for supervised learning methods performing organ-level segmentation and as a benchmark to evaluate their performance. The rosebush models in the data set are of high quality and complex architecture with organs frequently touching each other posing a challenge for the current plant organ segmentation methods. We report leaf/stem segmentation results obtained using four baseline methods. The best performance is achieved by the volumetric approach where local features are trained with a random forest classifier, giving Intersection of Union (IoU) values of 97.93% and 86.23% for leaf and stem classes, respectively. Conclusion:We provided an annotated 3D data set of 11 rosebush plants for training and evaluation of organ segmentation methods. We also reported leaf/stem segmentation results of baseline methods, which are open to improvement. The data set, together with the baseline results, has the potential of becoming a significant resource for future studies on automatic plant phenotyping.

Project description:PurposeIn this work, we address image segmentation in the scope of dosimetry using deep learning and make three main contributions: (a) to extend and optimize the architecture of an existing convolutional neural network (CNN) in order to obtain a fast, robust and accurate computed tomography (CT)-based organ segmentation method for kidneys and livers; (b) to train the CNN with an inhomogeneous set of CT scans and validate the CNN for daily dosimetry; and (c) to evaluate dosimetry results obtained using automated organ segmentation in comparison with manual segmentation done by two independent experts.MethodsWe adapted a performant deep learning approach using CT-images to delineate organ boundaries with sufficiently high accuracy and adequate processing time. The segmented organs were consequently used as binary masks for further convolution with a point spread function to retrieve the activity values from quantitatively reconstructed SPECT images for "volumetric"/3D dosimetry. The resulting activities were used to perform dosimetry calculations with the kidneys as source organs.ResultsThe computational expense of the algorithm was sufficient for clinical daily routine, required minimum pre-processing and performed with acceptable accuracy a Dice coefficient of [Formula: see text] for liver segmentation and of [Formula: see text] for kidney segmentation, respectively. In addition, kidney self-absorbed doses calculated using automated segmentation differed by [Formula: see text] from dosimetry performed by two medical physicists in 8 patients.ConclusionThe proposed approach may accelerate volumetric dosimetry of kidneys in molecular radiotherapy with 177Lu-labelled radiopharmaceuticals such as 177Lu-DOTATOC. However, even though a fully automated segmentation methodology based on CT images accelerates organ segmentation and performs with high accuracy, it does not remove the need for supervision and corrections by experts, mostly due to misalignments in the co-registration between SPECT and CT images.

Project description:Despite the prevalence in the United States of miscarriage [1], stillbirth [2], and infant mortality associated with preterm birth and low birthweight [3], their causes remain largely unknown [4], [5], [6]. To advance the use of social media data as a complementary resource for epidemiology of adverse pregnancy outcomes, we present a data set of 6487 tweets that mention miscarriage, stillbirth, preterm birth or premature labor, low birthweight, neonatal intensive care, or fetal/infant loss in general. These tweets are a subset of 22,912 tweets retrieved by applying hand-written regular expressions to a database containing more than 400 million public tweets posted by more than 100,000 women who have announced their pregnancy on Twitter [7]. Two professional annotators labeled the 6487 tweets in a binary fashion, distinguishing those potentially reporting that the user has personally experienced the outcome ("outcome" tweets) from those that merely mention the outcome ("non-outcome" tweets). Inter-annotator agreement was κ = 0.90 (Cohen's kappa). The tweets annotated as "outcome" include 1318 women reporting miscarriage, 94 stillbirth, 591 preterm birth or premature labor, 171 low birthweight, 453 neonatal intensive care, and 356 fetal/infant loss in general. These "outcome" tweets can be used to explore patient experiences and perceptions of adverse pregnancy outcomes, and can direct researchers to the users' broader timelines-tweets posted by a user over time-for observational studies. Our past work demonstrates the analysis of timelines for selecting a study population [8] and conducting a case-control study [9] of users reporting that their child has a birth defect. For larger-scale studies, the full annotated corpus can be used to train supervised machine learning algorithms to automatically identify additional users reporting adverse pregnancy outcomes on Twitter. We used the annotated corpus to train feature-engineered and deep learning-based classifiers presented in "A natural language processing pipeline to advance the use of Twitter data for digital epidemiology of adverse pregnancy outcomes" [10].

Project description:BackgroundMultiple data-analytic methods have been proposed for evaluating gene-expression levels in specific biological pathways, assessing differential expression associated with a binary phenotype. Following Goeman and Bühlmann's recent review, we compared statistical performance of three methods, namely Global Test, ANCOVA Global Test, and SAM-GS, that test "self-contained null hypotheses" Via. subject sampling. The three methods were compared based on a simulation experiment and analyses of three real-world microarray datasets.ResultsIn the simulation experiment, we found that the use of the asymptotic distribution in the two Global Tests leads to a statistical test with an incorrect size. Specifically, p-values calculated by the scaled chi2 distribution of Global Test and the asymptotic distribution of ANCOVA Global Test are too liberal, while the asymptotic distribution with a quadratic form of the Global Test results in p-values that are too conservative. The two Global Tests with permutation-based inference, however, gave a correct size. While the three methods showed similar power using permutation inference after a proper standardization of gene expression data, SAM-GS showed slightly higher power than the Global Tests. In the analysis of a real-world microarray dataset, the two Global Tests gave markedly different results, compared to SAM-GS, in identifying pathways whose gene expressions are associated with p53 mutation in cancer cell lines. A proper standardization of gene expression variances is necessary for the two Global Tests in order to produce biologically sensible results. After the standardization, the three methods gave very similar biologically-sensible results, with slightly higher statistical significance given by SAM-GS. The three methods gave similar patterns of results in the analysis of the other two microarray datasets.ConclusionAn appropriate standardization makes the performance of all three methods similar, given the use of permutation-based inference. SAM-GS tends to have slightly higher power in the lower alpha-level region (i.e. gene sets that are of the greatest interest). Global Test and ANCOVA Global Test have the important advantage of being able to analyze continuous and survival phenotypes and to adjust for covariates. A free Microsoft Excel Add-In to perform SAM-GS is available from http://www.ualberta.ca/~yyasui/homepage.html.
