Recognition of pulmonary diseases from lung sounds using convolutional neural networks and long short-term memory.

ABSTRACT: In this paper, a study is conducted to explore the ability of deep learning in recognizing pulmonary diseases from electronically recorded lung sounds. The selected data-set included a total of 103 patients obtained from locally recorded stethoscope lung sounds acquired at King Abdullah University Hospital, Jordan University of Science and Technology, Jordan. In addition, 110 patients data were added to the data-set from the Int. Conf. on Biomedical Health Informatics publicly available challenge database. Initially, all signals were checked to have a sampling frequency of 4 kHz and segmented into 5 s segments. Then, several preprocessing steps were undertaken to ensure smoother and less noisy signals. These steps included wavelet smoothing, displacement artifact removal, and z-score normalization. The deep learning network architecture consisted of two stages; convolutional neural networks and bidirectional long short-term memory units. The training of the model was evaluated based on a k-fold cross-validation scheme of tenfolds using several performance evaluation metrics including Cohen's kappa, accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, precision, and F1-score. The developed algorithm achieved the highest average accuracy of 99.62% with a precision of 98.85% in classifying patients based on the pulmonary disease types using CNN + BDLSTM. Furthermore, a total agreement of 98.26% was obtained between the predictions and original classes within the training scheme. This study paves the way towards implementing deep learning models in clinical settings to assist clinicians in decision making related to the recognition of pulmonary diseases.

Project description:Experimental techniques for measuring chromatin accessibility are expensive and time consuming, appealing for the development of computational approaches to predict open chromatin regions from DNA sequences. Along this direction, existing methods fall into two classes: one based on handcrafted k -mer features and the other based on convolutional neural networks. Although both categories have shown good performance in specific applications thus far, there still lacks a comprehensive framework to integrate useful k -mer co-occurrence information with recent advances in deep learning.We fill this gap by addressing the problem of chromatin accessibility prediction with a convolutional Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network with k -mer embedding. We first split DNA sequences into k -mers and pre-train k -mer embedding vectors based on the co-occurrence matrix of k -mers by using an unsupervised representation learning approach. We then construct a supervised deep learning architecture comprised of an embedding layer, three convolutional layers and a Bidirectional LSTM (BLSTM) layer for feature learning and classification. We demonstrate that our method gains high-quality fixed-length features from variable-length sequences and consistently outperforms baseline methods. We show that k -mer embedding can effectively enhance model performance by exploring different embedding strategies. We also prove the efficacy of both the convolution and the BLSTM layers by comparing two variations of the network architecture. We confirm the robustness of our model to hyper-parameters by performing sensitivity analysis. We hope our method can eventually reinforce our understanding of employing deep learning in genomic studies and shed light on research regarding mechanisms of chromatin accessibility.The source code can be downloaded from https://github.com/minxueric/ismb2017_lstm .tingchen@tsinghua.edu.cn or ruijiang@tsinghua.edu.cn.Supplementary materials are available at Bioinformatics online.

Project description:PurposeEstimating the surgery length has the potential to be utilized as skill assessment, surgical training, or efficient surgical facility utilization especially if it is done in real-time as a remaining surgery duration (RSD). Surgical length reflects a certain level of efficiency and mastery of the surgeon in a well-standardized surgery such as cataract surgery. In this paper, we design and develop a real-time RSD estimation method for cataract surgery that does not require manual labeling and is transferable with minimum fine-tuning.MethodsA regression method consisting of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and long short-term memory (LSTM) is designed for RSD estimation. The model is firstly trained and evaluated for the single main surgeon with a large number of surgeries. Then, the fine-tuning strategy is used to transfer the model to the data of the other two surgeons. Mean Absolute Error (MAE in seconds) was used to evaluate the performance of the RSD estimation. The proposed method is compared with the naïve method which is based on the statistic of the historical data. A transferability experiment is also set to demonstrate the generalizability of the method.ResultThe mean surgical time for the sample videos was 318.7 s (s) (standard deviation 83.4 s) for the main surgeon for the initial training. In our experiments, the lowest MAE of 19.4 s (equal to about 6.4% of the mean surgical time) is achieved by our best-trained model for the independent test data of the main target surgeon. It reduces the MAE by 35.5 s (-10.2%) compared to the naïve method. The fine-tuning strategy transfers the model trained for the main target to the data of other surgeons with only a small number of training data (20% of the pre-training). The MAEs for the other two surgeons are 28.3 s and 30.6 s with the fine-tuning model, which decreased by -8.1 s and -7.5 s than the Per-surgeon model (average declining of -7.8 s and 1.3% of video duration). External validation study with Cataract-101 outperformed 3 reported methods of TimeLSTM, RSDNet, and CataNet.ConclusionAn approach to build a pre-trained model for estimating RSD estimation based on a single surgeon and then transfer to other surgeons demonstrated both low prediction error and good transferability with minimum fine-tuning videos.
