AbstractAlthough panoramic radiography has a role in the examination of patients with cleft alveolus (CA), its appearances is sometimes difficult to interpret. The aims of this study were to develop a computer-aided diagnosis system for diagnosing the CA status on panoramic radiographs using a deep learning object detection technique with and without normal data in the learning process, to verify its performance in comparison to human observers, and to clarify some characteristic appearances probably related to the performance. The panoramic radiographs of 383 CA patients with cleft palate (CA with CP) or without cleft palate (CA only) and 210 patients without CA (normal) were used to create two models on the DetectNet. The models 1 and 2 were developed based on the data without and with normal subjects, respectively, to detect the CAs and classify them into with or without CP. The model 2 reduced the false positive rate (1/30) compared to the model 1 (12/30). The overall accuracy of Model 2 was higher than Model 1 and human observers. The model created in this study appeared to have the potential to detect and classify CAs on panoramic radiographs, and might be useful to assist the human observers.

The panoramic radiographs of 383 CA patients with cleft palate (CA with CP group) or without cleft palate (CA only group) and 210 patients without CA (normal group) were used to create 2 learning models on the DetectNet. The models 1 and 2 were developed based on the data with and without normal subjects, respectively, to detect the CAs and classify them into the CA only and CA with CP groups. The model 2 reduced the false positive rate (1/30) compared to the model 1 (12/30). The model 2 performances were higher in almost values than those in the model 1, but no difference in the recall of CA with CP groups. The model created in the present study appeared to have the potential to detect and classify CAs on panoramic radiographs.

Mandibular fracture is one of the most frequent injuries in oral and maxillo-facial surgery. Radiologists diagnose mandibular fractures using panoramic radiography and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Panoramic radiography is a conventional imaging modality, which is less complicated than CBCT. This paper proposes the diagnosis method of mandibular fractures in a panoramic radiograph based on a deep learning system without the intervention of radiologists. The deep learning system used has a one-stage detection called you only look once (YOLO). To improve detection accuracy, panoramic radiographs as input images are augmented using gamma modulation, multi-bounding boxes, single-scale luminance adaptation transform, and multi-scale luminance adaptation transform methods. Our results showed better detection performance than the conventional method using YOLO-based deep learning. Hence, it will be helpful for radiologists to double-check the diagnosis of mandibular fractures.

ABSTRACT We present DeepStreaks, a convolutional-neural-network, deep-learning system designed to efficiently identify streaking fast-moving near-Earth objects that are detected in the data of the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), a wide-field, time-domain survey using a dedicated 47 deg2 camera attached to the Samuel Oschin 48-inch Telescope at the Palomar Observatory in California, United States. The system demonstrates a 96–98 per cent true positive rate, depending on the night, while keeping the false positive rate below 1 per cent. The sensitivity of DeepStreaks is quantified by the performance on the test data sets as well as using known near-Earth objects observed by ZTF. The system is deployed and adapted for usage within the ZTF Solar system framework and has significantly reduced human involvement in the streak identification process, from several hours to typically under 10 min per day.

The Internet of Things has become a cutting-edge technology that is continuously evolving in size, connectivity, and applicability. This ecosystem makes its presence felt in every aspect of our lives, along with all other emerging technologies. Unfortunately, despite the significant benefits brought by the IoT, the increased attack surface built upon it has become more critical than ever. Devices have limited resources and are not typically created with security features. Lately, a trend of botnet threats transitioning to the IoT environment has been observed, and an army of infected IoT devices can expand quickly and be used for effective attacks. Therefore, identifying proper solutions for securing IoT systems is currently an important and challenging research topic. Machine learning-based approaches are a promising alternative, allowing the identification of abnormal behaviors and the detection of attacks. This paper proposes an anomaly-based detection solution that uses unsupervised deep learning techniques to identify IoT botnet activities. An empirical evaluation of the proposed method is conducted on both balanced and unbalanced datasets to assess its threat detection capability. False-positive rate reduction and its impact on the detection system are also analyzed. Furthermore, a comparison with other unsupervised learning approaches is included. The experimental results reveal the performance of the proposed detection method.

The electroencephalogram (EEG) is the most promising and efficient technique to study epilepsy and record all the electrical activity going in our brain. Automated screening of epilepsy through data-driven algorithms reduces the manual workload of doctors to diagnose epilepsy. New algorithms are biased either towards signal processing or deep learning, which holds subjective advantages and disadvantages. The proposed pipeline is an end-to-end automated seizure prediction framework with a Fourier transform feature extraction and deep learning-based transformer model, a blend of signal processing and deep learning — this imbibes the potential features to automatically identify the attentive regions in EEG signals for effective screening. The proposed pipeline has demonstrated superior performance on the benchmark dataset with average sensitivity and false-positive rate per hour (FPR/h) as 98.46%, 94.83% and 0.12439, 0, respectively. The proposed work shows great results on the benchmark datasets and a big potential for clinics as a support system with medical experts monitoring the patients.

A new method is proposed to classify the lung nodules as benign and malignant. The method is based on analysis of lung nodule shape, contour, and texture for better classification. The data set consists of 39 lung nodules of 39 patients which contain 19 benign and 20 malignant nodules. Lung regions are segmented based on morphological operators and lung nodules are detected based on shape and area features. The proposed algorithm was tested on LIDC (lung image database consortium) datasets and the results were found to be satisfactory. The performance of the method for distinction between benign and malignant was evaluated by the use of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. The method achieved area under the ROC curve was 0.903 which reduces the false positive rate.

Cluster of microcalcifications can be an early sign of breast cancer. In this paper, we propose a novel approach based on convolutional neural networks for the detection and segmentation of microcalcification clusters. In this work, we used 283 mammograms to train and validate our model, obtaining an accuracy of 99.99% on microcalcification detection and a false positive rate of 0.005%. Our results show how deep learning could be an effective tool to effectively support radiologists during mammograms examination.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused by the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 has changed the world as we know it. An early diagnosis is crucial in order to prevent new outbreaks and control its rapid spread. Medical imaging techniques, such as X-ray or chest computed tomography, are commonly used for this purpose due to their reliability for COVID-19 diagnosis. Computer-aided diagnosis systems could play an essential role in aiding radiologists in the screening process. In this work, a novel Deep Learning-based system, called COVID-XNet, is presented for COVID-19 diagnosis in chest X-ray images. The proposed system performs a set of preprocessing algorithms to the input images for variability reduction and contrast enhancement, which are then fed to a custom Convolutional Neural Network in order to extract relevant features and perform the classification between COVID-19 and normal cases. The system is trained and validated using a 5-fold cross-validation scheme, achieving an average accuracy of 94.43% and an AUC of 0.988. The output of the system can be visualized using Class Activation Maps, highlighting the main findings for COVID-19 in X-ray images. These promising results indicate that COVID-XNet could be used as a tool to aid radiologists and contribute to the fight against COVID-19.

Objective: To assess validity of a self-administered web-based migraine-questionnaire in diagnosing migraine aura for the use of epidemiological and genetic studies. Methods: Self-reported migraineurs enrolled via the LUMINA website and completed a web-based questionnaire on headache and aura symptoms, after fulfilling screening criteria. Diagnoses were calculated using an algorithm based on the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD-2), and semi-structured telephone-interviews were performed for final diagnoses. Logistic regression generated a prediction rule for aura. Algorithm-based diagnoses and predicted diagnoses were subsequently compared to the interview-derived diagnoses. Results: In 1 year, we recruited 2397 migraineurs, of which 1067 were included in the validation. A seven-question subset provided higher sensitivity (86% vs. 45%), slightly lower specificity (75% vs. 95%), and similar positive predictive value (86% vs. 88%) in assessing aura when comparing with the ICHD-2-based algorithm. Conclusions: This questionnaire is accurate and reliable in diagnosing migraine aura among self-reported migraineurs and enables detection of more aura cases with low false-positive rate.

Machine Learning Applications

<p>Satellite interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) can be used for measuring surface deformation for a variety of applications. Recent satellite missions, such as Sentinel-1, produce a large amount of data, meaning that visual inspection is impractical. Here we use deep learning, which has proved successful at object detection, to overcome this problem. Initially we present the use of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for detecting rapid deformation events, which we test on a global dataset of over 30,000 wrapped interferograms at 900 volcanoes. We compare two potential training datasets: data augmentation applied to archive examples and synthetic models. Both are able to detect true positive results, but the data augmentation approach has a false positive rate of 0.205% and the synthetic approach has a false positive rate of 0.036%.  Then, I will present an enhanced technique for measuring slow, sustained deformation over a range of scales from volcanic unrest to urban sources of deformation such as coalfields. By rewrapping cumulative time series, the detection performance is improved when the deformation rate is slow, as more fringes are generated without altering the signal to noise ratio. We adapt the method to use persistent scatterer InSAR data, which is sparse in nature,  by using spatial interpolation methods such as modified matrix completion Finally, future perspectives for machine learning applications on InSAR data will be discussed.</p>
