Automatic and Accurate Acquisition of Stem-Related Phenotypes of Mature Soybean Based on Deep Learning and Directed Search Algorithms.

ABSTRACT: The stem-related phenotype of mature stage soybean is important in soybean material selection. How to improve on traditional manual methods and obtain the stem-related phenotype of soybean more quickly and accurately is a problem faced by producers. With the development of smart agriculture, many scientists have explored soybean phenotypes and proposed new acquisition methods, but soybean mature stem-related phenotype studies are relatively scarce. In this study, we used a deep learning method within the convolutional neural network to detect mature soybean stem nodes and identified soybean structural features through a novel directed search algorithm. We subsequently obtained the pitch number, internodal length, branch number, branching angle, plant type spatial conformation, plant height, main stem length, and new phenotype-stem curvature. After 300 epochs, we compared the recognition results of various detection algorithms to select the best. Among them, YOLOX had a maximum average accuracy (mAP) of 94.36% for soybean stem nodes and scale markers. Through comparison of the phenotypic information extracted by the directed search algorithm with the manual measurement results, we obtained the Pearson correlation coefficients, R, of plant height, pitch number, internodal length, main stem length, stem curvature, and branching angle, which were 0.9904, 0.9853, 0.9861, 0.9925, 0.9084, and 0.9391, respectively. These results show that our algorithm can be used for robust measurements and counting of soybean phenotype information, which can reduce labor intensity, improve efficiency, and accelerate soybean breeding.

Project description:BackgroundMedication errors account for a large proportion of all medical errors. In most homes, patients take a variety of medications for a long period. However, medication errors frequently occur because patients often throw away the containers of their medications.ObjectiveWe proposed a deep learning-based system for reducing medication errors by accurately identifying prescription pills. Given the pill images, our system located the pills in the respective pill databases in South Korea and the United States.MethodsWe organized the system into a pill recognition step and pill retrieval step, and we applied deep learning models to train not only images of the pill but also imprinted characters. In the pill recognition step, there are 3 modules that recognize the 3 features of pills and their imprints separately and correct the recognized imprint to fit the actual data. We adopted image classification and text detection models for the feature and imprint recognition modules, respectively. In the imprint correction module, we introduced a language model for the first time in the pill identification system and proposed a novel coordinate encoding technique for effective correction in the language model. We identified pills using similarity scores of pill characteristics with those in the database.ResultsWe collected the open pill database from South Korea and the United States in May 2022. We used a total of 24,404 pill images in our experiments. The experimental results show that the predicted top-1 candidates achieve accuracy levels of 85.6% (South Korea) and 74.5% (United States) for the types of pills not trained on 2 different databases (South Korea and the United States). Furthermore, the predicted top-1 candidate accuracy of our system was 78% with consumer-granted images, which was achieved by training only 1 image per pill. The results demonstrate that our system could identify and retrieve new pills without additional model updates. Finally, we confirmed through an ablation study that the language model that we emphasized significantly improves the pill identification ability of the system.ConclusionsOur study proposes the possibility of reducing medical errors by showing that the introduction of artificial intelligence can identify numerous pills with high precision in real time. Our study suggests that the proposed system can reduce patients' misuse of medications and help medical staff focus on higher-level tasks by simplifying time-consuming lower-level tasks such as pill identification.

Project description:BACKGROUND:There are many different types of microRNAs (miRNAs) and elucidating their functions is still under intensive research. A fundamental step in functional annotation of a new miRNA is to classify it into characterized miRNA families, such as those in Rfam and miRBase. With the accumulation of annotated miRNAs, it becomes possible to use deep learning-based models to classify different types of miRNAs. In this work, we investigate several key issues associated with successful application of deep learning models for miRNA classification. First, as secondary structure conservation is a prominent feature for noncoding RNAs including miRNAs, we examine whether secondary structure-based encoding improves classification accuracy. Second, as there are many more non-miRNA sequences than miRNAs, instead of assigning a negative class for all non-miRNA sequences, we test whether using softmax output can distinguish in-distribution and out-of-distribution samples. Finally, we investigate whether deep learning models can correctly classify sequences from small miRNA families. RESULTS:We present our trained convolutional neural network (CNN) models for classifying miRNAs using different types of feature learning and encoding methods. In the first method, we explicitly encode the predicted secondary structure in a matrix. In the second method, we use only the primary sequence information and one-hot encoding matrix. In addition, in order to reject sequences that should not be classified into targeted miRNA families, we use a threshold derived from softmax layer to exclude out-of-distribution sequences, which is an important feature to make this model useful for real transcriptomic data. The comparison with the state-of-the-art ncRNA classification tools such as Infernal shows that our method can achieve comparable sensitivity and accuracy while being significantly faster. CONCLUSION:Automatic feature learning in CNN can lead to better classification accuracy and sensitivity for miRNA classification and annotation.
