Project description:Zanthoxyli Pericarpium (ZP) are the dried ripe peel of Zanthoxylum schinifolium Sieb. et Zucc (ZC) or Zanthoxylum bungeanum Maxim (ZB). It has wide range of uses both medicine and food, and favorable market value. The diverse specifications of components of ZP is exceptional, and the common aims of adulteration for economic profit is conducted. In this work, a novel method for the identification different species of ZP is proposed using convolutional neural networks (CNNs). The data used for the experiment is 5 classes obtained from camera and mobile phones. Firstly, the data considering 2 categories are trained to detect the labels by YOLO. Then, the multiple deep learning including VGG, ResNet, Inception v4, and DenseNet are introduced to identify the different species of ZP (HZB, DZB, OZB, ZA and JZC). In order to assess the performance of CNNs, compared with two traditional identification models including Support Vector Machines (SVM) and Back Propagation (BP). The experimental results demonstrate that the CNN model have a better performance to identify different species of ZP and the highest identification accuracy is 99.35%. The present study is proved to be a useful strategy for the discrimination of different traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs).

Project description:With the rapid extensive development of the Internet, users not only enjoy great convenience but also face numerous serious security problems. The increasing frequency of data breaches has made it clear that the network security situation is becoming increasingly urgent. In the realm of cybersecurity, intrusion detection plays a pivotal role in monitoring network attacks. However, the efficacy of existing solutions in detecting such intrusions remains suboptimal, perpetuating the security crisis. To address this challenge, we propose a sparse autoencoder-Bayesian optimization-convolutional neural network (SA-BO-CNN) system based on convolutional neural network (CNN). Firstly, to tackle the issue of data imbalance, we employ the SMOTE resampling function during system construction. Secondly, we enhance the system's feature extraction capabilities by incorporating SA. Finally, we leverage BO in conjunction with CNN to enhance system accuracy. Additionally, a multi-round iteration approach is adopted to further refine detection accuracy. Experimental findings demonstrate an impressive system accuracy of 98.36%. Comparative analyses underscore the superior detection rate of the SA-BO-CNN system.

Project description:Answer selection is one of the key steps in many question answering (QA) applications. In this paper, a new deep model with two kinds of attention is proposed for answer selection: the double attention recurrent convolution neural network (DARCNN). Double attention means self-attention and cross-attention. The design inspiration of this model came from the transformer in the domain of machine translation. Self-attention can directly calculate dependencies between words regardless of the distance. However, self-attention ignores the distinction between its surrounding words and other words. Thus, we design a decay self-attention that prioritizes local words in a sentence. In addition, cross-attention is established to achieve interaction between question and candidate answer. With the outputs of self-attention and decay self-attention, we can get two kinds of interactive information via cross-attention. Finally, using the feature vectors of the question and answer, elementwise multiplication is used to combine with them and multilayer perceptron is used to predict the matching score. Experimental results on four QA datasets containing Chinese and English show that DARCNN performs better than other answer selection models, thereby demonstrating the effectiveness of self-attention, decay self-attention and cross-attention in answer selection tasks.

Project description:Bexarotene (BEX) was approved by the FDA in 1999 for the treatment of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). The poor aqueous solubility causes the low bioavailability of the drug and thereby limits the clinical application. In this study, we developed a GCN-based deep learning model (CocrystalGCN) for in-silico screening of the cocrystals of BEX. The results show that our model obtained high performance relative to baseline models. The top 30 of 109 coformer candidates were scored by CocrystalGCN and then validated experimentally. Finally, cocrystals of BEX-pyrazine, BEX-2,5-dimethylpyrazine, BEX-methyl isonicotinate, and BEX-ethyl isonicotinate were successfully obtained. The crystal structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Powder X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, and thermogravimetric analysis were utilized to characterize these multi-component forms. All cocrystals present superior solubility and dissolution over the parent drug. The pharmacokinetic studies show that the plasma exposures (AUC0-8h) of BEX-pyrazine and BEX-2,5-dimethylpyrazine are 1.7 and 1.8 times that of the commercially available BEX powder, respectively. This work sets a good example for integrating virtual prediction and experimental screening to discover the new cocrystals of water-insoluble drugs.

Project description:The Bemisia tabaci species complex is a group of tropical-subtropical hemipterans, some species of which have achieved global distribution over the past 150 years. Several species are regarded currently as among the world's most pernicious agricultural pests, causing a variety of damage types via direct feeding and plant-disease transmission. Long considered a single variable species, genetic, molecular and reproductive compatibility analyses have revealed that this "species" is actually a complex of between 24 and 48 morphologically cryptic species. However, determinations of which populations represent distinct species have been hampered by a failure to integrate genetic/molecular and morphological species-diagnoses. This, in turn, has limited the success of outbreak-control and eradication programs. Previous morphological investigations, based on traditional and geometric morphometric procedures, have had limited success in identifying genetic/molecular species from patterns of morphological variation in puparia. As an alternative, our investigation focused on exploring the use of a deep-learning convolution neural network (CNN) trained on puparial images and based on an embedded, group-contrast training protocol as a means of searching for consistent differences in puparial morphology. Fifteen molecular species were selected for analysis, all of which had been identified via DNA barcoding and confirmed using more extensive molecular characterizations and crossing experiments. Results demonstrate that all 15 species can be discriminated successfully based on differences in puparium morphology alone. This level of discrimination was achieved for laboratory populations reared on both hairy-leaved and glabrous-leaved host plants. Moreover, cross-tabulation tests confirmed the generality and stability of the CNN discriminant system trained on both ecophenotypic variants. The ability to identify B. tabaci species quickly and accurately from puparial images has the potential to address many long-standing problems in B. tabaci taxonomy and systematics as well as playing a vital role in ongoing pest-management efforts.

Project description:MRI reconstruction is one of the critical processes of MRI machines, along with the acquisition. Due to a slow processing time of signal acquiring, parallel imaging and reconstruction techniques are applied for acceleration. To accelerate the acquisition process, fewer raw data are sampled simultaneously with all RF coils acquisition. Then, the reconstruction uses under-sampled data from all RF coils to restore the final MR image that resembles the fully sampled MR image. These processes have been a traditional procedure inside the MRI system since the invention of the multi-coils MRI machine. This paper proposes the deep learning technique with a lightweight network. The deep neural network is capable of generating the high-quality reconstructed MR image with a high peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR). This also opens a high acceleration factor for MR data acquisition. The lightweight network is called Multi-Level Pooling Encoder-Decoder Net (MLPED Net). The proposed network outperforms the traditional encoder-decoder networks on 4-fold acceleration with a significant margin on every evaluation metric. The network can be trained end-to-end, and it is a lightweight structure that can reduce training time significantly. Experimental results are based on a publicly available MRI Knee dataset from the fastMRI competition.

Project description:Facial Expression Recognition (FER) has gained considerable attention in affective computing due to its vast area of applications. Diverse approaches and methods have been considered for a robust FER in the field, but only a few works considered the intensity of emotion embedded in the expression. Even the available studies on expression intensity estimation successfully assigned a nominal/regression value or classified emotion in a range of intervals. Most of the available works on facial expression intensity estimation successfully present only the emotion intensity estimation. At the same time, others proposed methods that predict emotion and its intensity in different channels. These multiclass approaches and extensions do not conform to man heuristic manner of recognising emotion and its intensity estimation. This work presents a Multilabel Convolution Neural Network (ML-CNN)-based model, which could simultaneously recognise emotion and provide ordinal metrics as the intensity estimation of the emotion. The proposed ML-CNN is enhanced with the aggregation of Binary Cross-Entropy (BCE) loss and Island Loss (IL) functions to minimise intraclass and interclass variations. Also, ML-CNN model is pre-trained with Visual Geometric Group (VGG-16) to control overfitting. In the experiments conducted on Binghampton University 3D Facial Expression (BU-3DFE) and Cohn Kanade extension (CK+) datasets, we evaluate ML-CNN's performance based on accuracy and loss. We also carried out a comparative study of our model with some popularly used multilabel algorithms using standard multilabel metrics. ML-CNN model simultaneously predicts emotion and intensity estimation using ordinal metrics. The model also shows appreciable and superior performance over four standard multilabel algorithms: Chain Classifier (CC), distinct Random K label set (RAKEL), Multilabel K Nearest Neighbour (MLKNN) and Multilabel ARAM (MLARAM).

Project description:Mosquito-borne diseases cause a huge burden on public health worldwide. The viruses that cause these diseases impact the behavioural traits of mosquitoes, including locomotion and feeding. Understanding these traits can help in improving existing epidemiological models and developing effective mosquito traps. However, it is difficult to understand the flight behaviour of mosquitoes due to their small sizes, complicated poses, and seemingly random moving patterns. Currently, no open-source tool is available that can detect and track resting or flying mosquitoes. Our work presented in this paper provides a detection and trajectory estimation method using the Mask RCNN algorithm and spline interpolation, which can efficiently detect mosquitoes and track their trajectories with higher accuracy. The method does not require special equipment and works excellently even with low-resolution videos. Considering the mosquito size, the proposed method's detection performance is validated using a tracker error and a custom metric that considers the mean distance between positions (estimated and ground truth), pooled standard deviation, and average accuracy. The results showed that the proposed method could successfully detect and track the flying (≈ 96% accuracy) as well as resting (100% accuracy) mosquitoes. The performance can be impacted in the case of occlusions and background clutters. Overall, this research serves as an efficient open-source tool to facilitate further examination of mosquito behavioural traits.

Project description:Ischemic stroke, a leading global cause of death and disability, is commonly caused by carotid arteries atherosclerosis. Carotid artery calcification (CAC) is a well-known marker of atherosclerosis. Such calcifications are classically detected by ultrasound screening. In recent years it was shown that these calcifications can also be inferred from routine panoramic dental radiographs. In this work, we focused on panoramic dental radiographs taken from 500 patients, manually labelling each of the patients' sides (each radiograph was treated as two sides), which were used to develop an artificial intelligence (AI)-based algorithm to automatically detect carotid calcifications. The algorithm uses deep learning convolutional neural networks (CNN), with transfer learning (TL) approach that achieved true labels for each corner, and reached a sensitivity (recall) of 0.82 and a specificity of 0.97 for individual arteries, and a recall of 0.87 and specificity of 0.97 for individual patients. Applying and integrating the algorithm in healthcare units and dental clinics has the potential of reducing stroke events and their mortality and morbidity consequences.

Project description:Alzheimer's disease (AD) may cause damage to the memory cells permanently, which results in the form of dementia. The diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease at an early stage is a problematic task for researchers. For this, machine learning and deep convolutional neural network (CNN) based approaches are readily available to solve various problems related to brain image data analysis. In clinical research, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used to diagnose AD. For accurate classification of dementia stages, we need highly discriminative features obtained from MRI images. Recently advanced deep CNN-based models successfully proved their accuracy. However, due to a smaller number of image samples available in the datasets, there exist problems of over-fitting hindering the performance of deep learning approaches. In this research, we developed a Siamese convolutional neural network (SCNN) model inspired by VGG-16 (also called Oxford Net) to classify dementia stages. In our approach, we extend the insufficient and imbalanced data by using augmentation approaches. Experiments are performed on a publicly available dataset open access series of imaging studies (OASIS), by using the proposed approach, an excellent test accuracy of 99.05% is achieved for the classification of dementia stages. We compared our model with the state-of-the-art models and discovered that the proposed model outperformed the state-of-the-art models in terms of performance, efficiency, and accuracy.
