Project description:Proteins are complex macromolecules accountable for the biological processes in the cell. In biomedical research, the images of protein are extensively used in medicine. The rate at which these images are produced makes it difficult to evaluate them manually and hence there exists a need to automate the system. The quality of images is still a major issue. In this paper, we present the use of different image enhancement techniques that improves the contrast of these images. Besides the quality of images, the challenge of gathering such datasets in the field of medicine persists. We use generative adversarial networks for generating synthetic samples to ameliorate the results of CNN. The performance of the synthetic data augmentation was compared with the classic data augmentation on the classification task, an increase of 2.7% in Macro F1 and 2.64% in Micro F1 score was observed. Our best results were obtained by the pretrained Inception V4 model that gave a fivefold cross-validated macro F1 of 0.603. The achieved results are contrasted with the existing work and comparisons show that the proposed method outperformed.

Project description:MotivationAccurate disease phenotype prediction plays an important role in the treatment of heterogeneous diseases like cancer in the era of precision medicine. With the advent of high throughput technologies, more comprehensive multi-omics data is now available that can effectively link the genotype to phenotype. However, the interactive relation of multi-omics datasets makes it particularly challenging to incorporate different biological layers to discover the coherent biological signatures and predict phenotypic outcomes. In this study, we introduce omicsGAN, a generative adversarial network model to integrate two omics data and their interaction network. The model captures information from the interaction network as well as the two omics datasets and fuse them to generate synthetic data with better predictive signals.ResultsLarge-scale experiments on The Cancer Genome Atlas breast cancer, lung cancer and ovarian cancer datasets validate that (i) the model can effectively integrate two omics data (e.g. mRNA and microRNA expression data) and their interaction network (e.g. microRNA-mRNA interaction network). The synthetic omics data generated by the proposed model has a better performance on cancer outcome classification and patients survival prediction compared to original omics datasets. (ii) The integrity of the interaction network plays a vital role in the generation of synthetic data with higher predictive quality. Using a random interaction network does not allow the framework to learn meaningful information from the omics datasets; therefore, results in synthetic data with weaker predictive signals.Availability and implementationSource code is available at: https://github.com/CompbioLabUCF/omicsGAN.Supplementary informationSupplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

Project description:Generative adversarial learning is one of the most exciting recent breakthroughs in machine learning. It has shown splendid performance in a variety of challenging tasks such as image and video generation. More recently, a quantum version of generative adversarial learning has been theoretically proposed and shown to have the potential of exhibiting an exponential advantage over its classical counterpart. Here, we report the first proof-of-principle experimental demonstration of quantum generative adversarial learning in a superconducting quantum circuit. We demonstrate that, after several rounds of adversarial learning, a quantum-state generator can be trained to replicate the statistics of the quantum data output from a quantum channel simulator, with a high fidelity (98.8% on average) so that the discriminator cannot distinguish between the true and the generated data. Our results pave the way for experimentally exploring the intriguing long-sought-after quantum advantages in machine learning tasks with noisy intermediate-scale quantum devices.

Project description:BackgroundThe efficient and accurate diagnosis of pulmonary adenocarcinoma before surgery is of considerable significance to clinicians. Although computed tomography (CT) examinations are widely used in practice, it is still challenging and time-consuming for radiologists to distinguish between different types of subcentimeter pulmonary nodules. Although there have been many deep learning algorithms proposed, their performance largely depends on vast amounts of data, which is difficult to collect in the medical imaging area. Therefore, we propose an automatic classification system for subcentimeter pulmonary adenocarcinoma, combining a convolutional neural network (CNN) and a generative adversarial network (GAN) to optimize clinical decision-making and to provide small dataset algorithm design ideas.MethodsA total of 206 nodules with postoperative pathological labels were analyzed. Among them were 30 adenocarcinomas in situ (AISs), 119 minimally invasive adenocarcinomas (MIAs), and 57 invasive adenocarcinomas (IACs). Our system consisted of two parts, a GAN-based image synthesis, and a CNN classification. First, several popular existing GAN techniques were employed to augment the datasets, and comprehensive experiments were conducted to evaluate the quality of the GAN synthesis. Additionally, our classification system processes were based on two-dimensional (2D) nodule-centered CT patches without the need of manual labeling information.ResultsFor GAN-based image synthesis, the visual Turing test showed that even radiologists could not tell the GAN-synthesized from the raw images (accuracy: primary radiologist 56%, senior radiologist 65%). For CNN classification, our progressive growing wGAN improved the performance of CNN most effectively (area under the curve =0.83). The experiments indicated that the proposed GAN augmentation method improved the classification accuracy by 23.5% (from 37.0% to 60.5%) and 7.3% (from 53.2% to 60.5%) in comparison with training methods using raw and common augmented images respectively. The performance of this combined GAN and CNN method (accuracy: 60.5%±2.6%) was comparable to the state-of-the-art methods, and our CNN was also more lightweight.ConclusionsThe experiments revealed that GAN synthesis techniques could effectively alleviate the problem of insufficient data in medical imaging. The proposed GAN plus CNN framework can be generalized for use in building other computer-aided detection (CADx) algorithms and thus assist in diagnosis.

Project description:Hi-C is commonly used to study three-dimensional genome organization. However, due to the high sequencing cost and technical constraints, the resolution of most Hi-C datasets is coarse, resulting in a loss of information and biological interpretability. Here we develop DeepHiC, a generative adversarial network, to predict high-resolution Hi-C contact maps from low-coverage sequencing data. We demonstrated that DeepHiC is capable of reproducing high-resolution Hi-C data from as few as 1% downsampled reads. Empowered by adversarial training, our method can restore fine-grained details similar to those in high-resolution Hi-C matrices, boosting accuracy in chromatin loops identification and TADs detection, and outperforms the state-of-the-art methods in accuracy of prediction. Finally, application of DeepHiC to Hi-C data on mouse embryonic development can facilitate chromatin loop detection. We develop a web-based tool (DeepHiC, http://sysomics.com/deephic) that allows researchers to enhance their own Hi-C data with just a few clicks.

Project description:This paper addresses the problem of semi-supervised transfer learning with limited cross-modality data in remote sensing. A large amount of multi-modal earth observation images, such as multispectral imagery (MSI) or synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data, are openly available on a global scale, enabling parsing global urban scenes through remote sensing imagery. However, their ability in identifying materials (pixel-wise classification) remains limited, due to the noisy collection environment and poor discriminative information as well as limited number of well-annotated training images. To this end, we propose a novel cross-modal deep-learning framework, called X-ModalNet, with three well-designed modules: self-adversarial module, interactive learning module, and label propagation module, by learning to transfer more discriminative information from a small-scale hyperspectral image (HSI) into the classification task using a large-scale MSI or SAR data. Significantly, X-ModalNet generalizes well, owing to propagating labels on an updatable graph constructed by high-level features on the top of the network, yielding semi-supervised cross-modality learning. We evaluate X-ModalNet on two multi-modal remote sensing datasets (HSI-MSI and HSI-SAR) and achieve a significant improvement in comparison with several state-of-the-art methods.

Project description:Traditionally, plant disease recognition has mainly been done visually by human. It is often biased, time-consuming, and laborious. Machine learning methods based on plant leave images have been proposed to improve the disease recognition process. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been adopted and proven to be very effective. Despite the good classification accuracy achieved by CNNs, the issue of limited training data remains. In most cases, the training dataset is often small due to significant effort in data collection and annotation. In this case, CNN methods tend to have the overfitting problem. In this paper, Wasserstein generative adversarial network with gradient penalty (WGAN-GP) is combined with label smoothing regularization (LSR) to improve the prediction accuracy and address the overfitting problem under limited training data. Experiments show that the proposed WGAN-GP enhanced classification method can improve the overall classification accuracy of plant diseases by 24.4% as compared to 20.2% using classic data augmentation and 22% using synthetic samples without LSR.

Project description:As a popular deep learning method, generative adversarial networks (GAN) have achieved outstanding performance in multiple classifications and segmentation tasks. However, the application of GANs to fMRI data is relatively rare. In this work, we proposed a functional network connectivity (FNC) based GAN for classifying psychotic disorders from healthy controls (HCs), in which FNC matrices were calculated by correlation of time courses derived from non-artefactual fMRI independent components (ICs). The proposed GAN model consisted of one discriminator (real FNCs) and one generator (fake FNCs), each has four fully-connected layers. The generator was trained to match the discriminator in the intermediate layers while simultaneously a new objective loss was determined for the generator to improve the whole classification performance. In a case for classifying 269 major depressive disorder (MDD) patients from 286 HCs, an average accuracy of 70.1% was achieved in 10-fold cross-validation, with at least 6% higher compared to the other 6 popular classification approaches (54.5-64.2%). In another application to discriminating 558 schizophrenia patients from 542 HCs from 7 sites, the proposed GAN model achieved 80.7% accuracy in leave-one-site-out prediction, outperforming support vector machine (SVM) and deep neural net (DNN) by 3%-6%. More importantly, we are able to identify the most contributing FNC nodes and edges with the strategy of leave-one-FNC-out recursively. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first attempt to apply the GAN model on the FNC-based classification of mental disorders. Such a framework promises wide utility and great potential in neuroimaging biomarker identification.

Project description:Recent studies have extensively used deep learning algorithms to analyze gene expression to predict disease diagnosis, treatment effectiveness, and survival outcomes. Survival analysis studies on diseases with high mortality rates, such as cancer, are indispensable. However, deep learning models are plagued by overfitting owing to the limited sample size relative to the large number of genes. Consequently, the latest style-transfer deep generative models have been implemented to generate gene expression data. However, these models are limited in their applicability for clinical purposes because they generate only transcriptomic data. Therefore, this study proposes ctGAN, which enables the combined transformation of gene expression and survival data using a generative adversarial network (GAN). ctGAN improves survival analysis by augmenting data through style transformations between breast cancer and 11 other cancer types. We evaluated the concordance index (C-index) enhancements compared with previous models to demonstrate its superiority. Performance improvements were observed in nine of the 11 cancer types. Moreover, ctGAN outperformed previous models in seven out of the 11 cancer types, with colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) exhibiting the most significant improvement (median C-index increase of ~15.70%). Furthermore, integrating the generated COAD enhanced the log-rank p-value (0.041) compared with using only the real COAD (p-value = 0.797). Based on the data distribution, we demonstrated that the model generated highly plausible data. In clustering evaluation, ctGAN exhibited the highest performance in most cases (89.62%). These findings suggest that ctGAN can be meaningfully utilized to predict disease progression and select personalized treatments in the medical field.

Project description:BackgroundLow-dose computed tomography (LDCT) is a diagnostic imaging technique designed to minimize radiation exposure to the patient. However, this reduction in radiation may compromise computed tomography (CT) image quality, adversely impacting clinical diagnoses. Various advanced LDCT methods have emerged to mitigate this challenge, relying on well-matched LDCT and normal-dose CT (NDCT) image pairs for training. Nevertheless, these methods often face difficulties in distinguishing image details from nonuniformly distributed noise, limiting their denoising efficacy. Additionally, acquiring suitably paired datasets in the medical domain poses challenges, further constraining their applicability. Hence, the objective of this study was to develop an innovative denoising framework for LDCT images employing unpaired data.MethodsIn this paper, we propose a LDCT denoising network (DNCNN) that alleviates the need for aligning LDCT and NDCT images. Our approach employs generative adversarial networks (GANs) to learn and model the noise present in LDCT images, establishing a mapping from the pseudo-LDCT to the actual NDCT domain without the need for paired CT images.ResultsWithin the domain of weakly supervised methods, our proposed model exhibited superior objective metrics on the simulated dataset when compared to CycleGAN and selective kernel-based cycle-consistent GAN (SKFCycleGAN): the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) was 43.9441, the structural similarity index measure (SSIM) was 0.9660, and the visual information fidelity (VIF) was 0.7707. In the clinical dataset, we conducted a visual effect analysis by observing various tissues through different observation windows. Our proposed method achieved a no-reference structural sharpness (NRSS) value of 0.6171, which was closest to that of the NDCT images (NRSS =0.6049), demonstrating its superiority over other denoising techniques in preserving details, maintaining structural integrity, and enhancing edge contrast.ConclusionsThrough extensive experiments on both simulated and clinical datasets, we demonstrated the superior efficacy of our proposed method in terms of denoising quality and quantity. Our method exhibits superiority over both supervised techniques, including block-matching and 3D filtering (BM3D), residual encoder-decoder convolutional neural network (RED-CNN), and Wasserstein generative adversarial network-VGG (WGAN-VGG), and over weakly supervised approaches, including CycleGAN and SKFCycleGAN.
