Project description:Lens-free digital in-line holography (LDIH) is a promising microscopic tool that overcomes several drawbacks (e.g., limited field of view) of traditional lens-based microcopy. However, extensive computation is required to reconstruct object images from the complex diffraction patterns produced by LDIH. This limits LDIH utility for point-of-care applications, particularly in resource limited settings. We describe a deep transfer learning (DTL) based approach to process LDIH images in the context of cellular analyses. Specifically, we captured holograms of cells labeled with molecular-specific microbeads and trained neural networks to classify these holograms without reconstruction. Using raw holograms as input, the trained networks were able to classify individual cells according to the number of cell-bound microbeads. The DTL-based approach including a VGG19 pretrained network showed robust performance with experimental data. Combined with the developed DTL approach, LDIH could be realized as a low-cost, portable tool for point-of-care diagnostics.

Project description:In this study, a simple and customizable convolution neural network framework was used to train a vibration classification model that can be integrated into the measurement application in order to realize accurate and real-time bridge vibration status on mobile platforms. The inputs for the network model are basically the multichannel time-series signals acquired from the built-in accelerometer sensor of smartphones, while the outputs are the predefined vibration categories. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed framework, data collected from long-term monitoring of bridge were used for training a model, and its classification performance was evaluated on the test set constituting the data collected from the same bridge but not used previously for training. An iOS application program was developed on the smartphone for incorporating the trained model with predefined classification labels so that it can classify vibration datasets measured on any other bridges in real-time. The results justify the practical feasibility of using a low-latency, high-accuracy smartphone-based system amid which bottlenecks of processing large amounts of data will be eliminated, and stable observation of structural conditions can be promoted.

Project description:Objective and Impact Statement. There is a need to develop high-performance and low-cost data augmentation strategies for intelligent skin cancer screening devices that can be deployed in rural or underdeveloped communities. The proposed strategy can not only improve the classification performance of skin lesions but also highlight the potential regions of interest for clinicians' attention. This strategy can also be implemented in a broad range of clinical disciplines for early screening and automatic diagnosis of many other diseases in low resource settings. Methods. We propose a high-performance data augmentation strategy of search space 101, which can be combined with any model through a plug-and-play mode and search for the best argumentation method for a medical database with low resource cost. Results. With EfficientNets as a baseline, the best BACC of HAM10000 is 0.853, outperforming the other published models of "single-model and no-external-database" for ISIC 2018 Lesion Diagnosis Challenge (Task 3). The best average AUC performance on ISIC 2017 achieves 0.909 (±0.015), exceeding most of the ensembling models and those using external datasets. Performance on Derm7pt archives the best BACC of 0.735 (±0.018) ahead of all other related studies. Moreover, the model-based heatmaps generated by Grad-CAM++ verify the accurate selection of lesion features in model judgment, further proving the scientific rationality of model-based diagnosis. Conclusion. The proposed data augmentation strategy greatly reduces the computational cost for clinically intelligent diagnosis of skin lesions. It may also facilitate further research in low-cost, portable, and AI-based mobile devices for skin cancer screening and therapeutic guidance.

Project description:Late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) is the most common multifactorial neurodegenerative disease among elderly people. LOAD is heterogeneous, and the symptoms vary among patients. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified genetic risk factors for LOAD but not for LOAD subtypes. Here, we examined the genetic architecture of LOAD based on Japanese GWAS data from 1947 patients and 2192 cognitively normal controls in a discovery cohort and 847 patients and 2298 controls in an independent validation cohort. Two distinct groups of LOAD patients were identified. One was characterized by major risk genes for developing LOAD (APOC1 and APOC1P1) and immune-related genes (RELB and CBLC). The other was characterized by genes associated with kidney disorders (AXDND1, FBP1, and MIR2278). Subsequent analysis of albumin and hemoglobin values from routine blood test results suggested that impaired kidney function could lead to LOAD pathogenesis. We developed a prediction model for LOAD subtypes using a deep neural network, which achieved an accuracy of 0.694 (2870/4137) in the discovery cohort and 0.687 (2162/3145) in the validation cohort. These findings provide new insights into the pathogenic mechanisms of LOAD.

Project description:To improve the diagnosis and classification of Alzheimer's disease (AD), a modeling method is proposed based on the combining magnetic resonance images (MRI) brain structural data with metabolite levels of the frontal and parietal regions. First, multi-atlas brain segmentation technology based on T1-weighted images and edited magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) were used to extract data of 279 brain regions and levels of 12 metabolites from regions of interest (ROIs) in the frontal and parietal regions. The t-test combined with false discovery rate (FDR) correction was used to reduce the dimensionality in the data, and MRI structural data of 54 brain regions and levels of 4 metabolites that obviously correlated with AD were screened out. Lastly, the stacked auto-encoder neural network (SAE) was used to classify AD and healthy controls (HCs), which judged the effect of classification method by fivefold cross validation. The results indicated that the mean accuracy of the five experimental model increased from 96 to 100%, the AUC value increased from 0.97 to 1, specificity increased from 90 to 100%, and F1 value increased from 0.97 to 1. Comparing the effect of each metabolite on model performance revealed that the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) + levels in the parietal region resulted in the most significant improvement in model performance, with the accuracy rate increasing from 96 to 98%, the AUC value increased from 0.97 to 0.99 and the specificity increasing from 90 to 95%. Moreover, the GABA + levels in the parietal region was significantly correlated with Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores of patients with AD (r = 0.627), and the F statistics were largest (F = 25.538), which supports the hypothesis that dysfunctional GABAergic system play an important role in the pathogenesis of AD. Overall, our findings support that a comprehensive method that combines MRI structural and metabolic data of brain regions can improve model classification efficiency of AD.

Project description:Cancer tumor classification based on morphological characteristics alone has been shown to have serious limitations. Breast, lung, colorectal, thyroid, and ovarian are the most commonly diagnosed cancers among women. Precise classification of cancers into their types is considered a vital problem for cancer diagnosis and therapy. In this paper, we proposed a stacking ensemble deep learning model based on one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1D-CNN) to perform a multi-class classification on the five common cancers among women based on RNASeq data. The RNASeq gene expression data was downloaded from Pan-Cancer Atlas using GDCquery function of the TCGAbiolinks package in the R software. We used least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) as feature selection method. We compared the results of the new proposed model with and without LASSO with the results of the single 1D-CNN and machine learning methods which include support vector machines with radial basis function, linear, and polynomial kernels; artificial neural networks; k-nearest neighbors; bagging trees. The results show that the proposed model with and without LASSO has a better performance compared to other classifiers. Also, the results show that the machine learning methods (SVM-R, SVM-L, SVM-P, ANN, KNN, and bagging trees) with under-sampling have better performance than with over-sampling techniques. This is supported by the statistical significance test of accuracy where the p-values for differences between the SVM-R and SVM-P, SVM-R and ANN, SVM-R and KNN are found to be p = 0.003, p = < 0.001, and p = < 0.001, respectively. Also, SVM-L had a significant difference compared to ANN p = 0.009. Moreover, SVM-P and ANN, SVM-P and KNN are found to be significantly different with p-values p = < 0.001 and p = < 0.001, respectively. In addition, ANN and bagging trees, ANN and KNN were found to be significantly different with p-values p = < 0.001 and p = 0.004, respectively. Thus, the proposed model can help in the early detection and diagnosis of cancer in women, and hence aid in designing early treatment strategies to improve survival.

Project description:BackgroundDeep learning has shown potential in various scientific domains but faces challenges when applied to complex, high-dimensional multi-omics data. Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that lacks targeted therapeutic options. This study introduces the Circular-Sliding Window Association Test (c-SWAT) to improve the classification accuracy in predicting AD using serum-based metabolomics data, specifically lipidomics.MethodsThe c-SWAT methodology builds upon the existing Sliding Window Association Test (SWAT) and utilizes a three-step approach: feature correlation analysis, feature selection, and classification. Data from 997 participants from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) served as the basis for model training and validation. Feature correlations were analyzed using Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA), and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) were employed for feature selection. Random Forest was used for the final classification.FindingsThe application of c-SWAT resulted in a classification accuracy of up to 80.8% and an AUC of 0.808 for distinguishing AD from cognitively normal older adults. This marks a 9.4% improvement in accuracy and a 0.169 increase in AUC compared to methods without c-SWAT. These results were statistically significant, with a p-value of 1.04 × 10ˆ-4. The approach also identified key lipids associated with AD, such as Cer(d16:1/22:0) and PI(37:6).InterpretationOur results indicate that c-SWAT is effective in improving classification accuracy and in identifying potential lipid biomarkers for AD. These identified lipids offer new avenues for understanding AD and warrant further investigation.FundingThe specific funding of this article is provided in the acknowledgements section.

Project description:BackgroundAn open challenge in translational bioinformatics is the analysis of sequenced metagenomes from various environmental samples. Of course, several studies demonstrated the 16S ribosomal RNA could be considered as a barcode for bacteria classification at the genus level, but till now it is hard to identify the correct composition of metagenomic data from RNA-seq short-read data. 16S short-read data are generated using two next generation sequencing technologies, i.e. whole genome shotgun (WGS) and amplicon (AMP); typically, the former is filtered to obtain short-reads belonging to a 16S shotgun (SG), whereas the latter take into account only some specific 16S hypervariable regions. The above mentioned two sequencing technologies, SG and AMP, are used alternatively, for this reason in this work we propose a deep learning approach for taxonomic classification of metagenomic data, that can be employed for both of them.ResultsTo test the proposed pipeline, we simulated both SG and AMP short-reads, from 1000 16S full-length sequences. Then, we adopted a k-mer representation to map sequences as vectors into a numerical space. Finally, we trained two different deep learning architecture, i.e., convolutional neural network (CNN) and deep belief network (DBN), obtaining a trained model for each taxon. We tested our proposed methodology to find the best parameters configuration, and we compared our results against the classification performances provided by a reference classifier for bacteria identification, known as RDP classifier. We outperformed the RDP classifier at each taxonomic level with both architectures. For instance, at the genus level, both CNN and DBN reached 91.3% of accuracy with AMP short-reads, whereas RDP classifier obtained 83.8% with the same data.ConclusionsIn this work, we proposed a 16S short-read sequences classification technique based on k-mer representation and deep learning architecture, in which each taxon (from phylum to genus) generates a classification model. Experimental results confirm the proposed pipeline as a valid approach for classifying bacteria sequences; for this reason, our approach could be integrated into the most common tools for metagenomic analysis. According to obtained results, it can be successfully used for classifying both SG and AMP data.

Project description:Recent advances in molecular machine learning, especially deep neural networks such as graph neural networks (GNNs), for predicting structure-activity relationships (SAR) have shown tremendous potential in computer-aided drug discovery. However, the applicability of such deep neural networks is limited by the requirement of large amounts of training data. In order to cope with limited training data for a target task, transfer learning for SAR modeling has been recently adopted to leverage information from data of related tasks. In this work, in contrast to the popular parameter-based transfer learning such as pretraining, we develop novel deep transfer learning methods TAc and TAc-fc to leverage source domain data and transfer useful information to the target domain. TAc learns to generate effective molecular features that can generalize well from one domain to another and increase the classification performance in the target domain. Additionally, TAc-fc extends TAc by incorporating novel components to selectively learn feature-wise and compound-wise transferability. We used the bioassay screening data from PubChem and identified 120 pairs of bioassays such that the active compounds in each pair are more similar to each other compared to their inactive compounds. Overall, TAc achieves the best performance with an average ROC-AUC of 0.801; it significantly improves the ROC-AUC of 83% of target tasks with an average task-wise performance improvement of 7.102%, compared to the best baseline dmpna. Our experiments clearly demonstrate that TAc achieves significant improvement over all baselines across a large number of target tasks. Furthermore, although TAc-fc achieves slightly worse ROC-AUC on average compared to TAc (0.798 vs 0.801), TAc-fc still achieves the best performance on more tasks in terms of PR-AUC and F1 compared to other methods. In summary, TAc-fc is also found to be a strong model with competitive or even better performance than TAc on a notable number of target tasks.

Project description:Human infertility is considered as a serious disease of the reproductive system that affects more than 10% of couples across the globe and over 30% of the reported cases are related to men. The crucial step in the assessment of male infertility and subfertility is semen analysis that strongly depends on the sperm head morphology, i.e., the shape and size of the head of a spermatozoon. However, in medical diagnosis, the morphology of the sperm head is determined manually, and heavily depends on the expertise of the clinician. Moreover, this assessment as well as the morphological classification of human sperm heads are laborious and non-repeatable, and there is also a high degree of inter and intra-laboratory variability in the results. In order to overcome these problems, we propose a specialized convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture to accurately classify human sperm heads based on sperm images. It is carefully designed with several layers, and multiple filter sizes, but fewer filters and parameters to improve efficiency and effectiveness. It is demonstrated that our proposed architecture outperforms state-of-the-art methods, exhibiting 88% recall on the SCIAN dataset in the total agreement setting and 95% recall on the HuSHeM dataset for the classification of human sperm heads. Our proposed method shows the potential of deep learning to surpass embryologists in terms of reliability, throughput, and accuracy.
