Medical imaging datasets typically do not contain many training images and are usually not sufficient for training deeplearning networks. We propose a deep residual variational auto-encoder and a generative adversarial network based approach that can generate a synthetic retinal fundus image dataset with corresponding blood vessel annotations. In terms of structural statistics comparison of real and artificial our model performed better than existing methods. The generated blood vessel structures achieved a structural similarity value of 0.74 and the artificial dataset achieved a sensitivity of 0.84 and specificity of 0.97 for the blood vessel segmentation task. The successful application of generative models for the generation of synthetic medical data will not only help to mitigate the small dataset problem but will also address the privacy concerns associated with such medical datasets.

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a degenerative neurological condition that significantly lowers a person’s standard of living. Symptom management and better patient outcomes depend on early diagnosis and intervention. To forecast Parkinson’s disease, this study looks into the use of various ML models, such as Decision Trees, XGBoost, AdaBoost etc. To improve model interpretability, the study highlights the significance of Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) approaches. The essential elements that had a substantial impact on the models’ predictions were found by using feature importance analysis. In addition to illuminating the disease’s fundamental causes, this study offers medical professionals’ practical insights to direct clinical judgment. The integration of machine learning with XAI techniques addresses the critical need for transparency in AI applications within healthcare, ensuring that practitioners can trust and understand the tools they use. Among the classifiers evaluated, the AdaBoost classifier demonstrated exceptional performance, achieving the highest accuracy of 98.34%. This result highlights the strong performance of the AdaBoost algorithm in accurately predicting Parkinson’s disease, demonstrating its suitability and effectiveness for this application. These algorithms are computationally less expensive than the deeplearning algorithms and hence could be efficiently used for real-time systems. Also in this paper the contribution of features have been mapped to the accuracy, which shows the explainability of features. The work aims to set the stage for future developments in neurodegenerative disease predictive modeling through thorough analysis and validation.

deep neural networks are widely used in computer vision, pattern recognition, and speech recognition and achieve high accuracy at the cost of remarkable computation. High computational complexity and memory accesses of such networks create a big challenge for using them in resource-limited and low-power embedded systems. Several binary neural networks have been proposed that exploit only 1-bit values for both weights and activations. Binary neural networks substitute complex multiply-accumulation operations with bitwise logic operations to reduce computations and memory usage. However, these quantized neural networks suffer from accuracy loss, especially in big datasets. In this paper, we introduce a quantized neural network with 2-bit weights and activations that is more accurate compared to the state-of-the-art quantized neural networks, and also the accuracy is close to the full precision neural networks. Moreover, we propose E2BNet, an efficient MAC-free hardware architecture that increases power efficiency and throughput/W about 3.6 x and 1.5 x , respectively, compared to the state-of-the-art quantized neural networks. E2BNet processes more than 500 images/s on the imageNet dataset that not only meet real-time requirements of images/video processing but also can be deployed on high frame rate video applications.

Accurate clinical cancer T-stage diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment. However, it is difficult, time-consuming, and laborious for physicians to recognize T-stage manually using rectal Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images. Machine learning methods have played important roles in medical imageprocessing. With the goal of automatic rectal cancer T-stage prediction, we train the proposed Feature Extraction based Support Vector Machine (FE-SVM) model with the newly acquired dataset consisting of 147 patients' MRI images with primary rectal cancer. Our method adapts SVM as the training framework as SVM is effective enough for dealing with small datasets as opposed to state-of-the-art deeplearning models. FE-SVM firstly extracts image similarity as an initial feature because the feature of image similarity can better reflect the differences among various types of MRI images, and the final 10-dimensional features are obtained by a 5-layers Autoencoder. To evaluate the performance of FE-SVM, we compared it with six benchmark models: CNN, Alexnet, Resnet18, Resnet50, Capsule Network, and Random Forest. FE-SVM outperforms these state-of-the-art models with significant evaluation scores.

Manual labelling and qualitative analysis of lesion tissues in vessel optical coherence tomography (OCT) images are time-consuming and laborious for cardiovascular specialists. To beat these issues, a semantic segmentation method was presented based on deeplearning on the OCT image analysis of the human vessel to reduce the diagnosis pressure of cardiovascular doctors. An outer border of ROI was segmented based on the level-set method to obtain the visible superficial layer containing useful information. And then, cropping square patches from the ROI with its patch center pixel inside the ROI and using patches as the input data. To reuse the preceding layers' feature maps, we used the dense block to replace the normal convolution layer, and simul-taneously, employed a skip-connection from m the down-sampling path to the up-sampling path to keep the spatial information. With the advantage of SegNet on semantic segmentation, a dense-block-SegNet (DBSegNet) is constructed to complete the pixel-level segmentation. Training and testing were executed on 7 datasets (22, 210 images) to assess the model. Tenfold cross-validation method was implemented to measure the classification outcomes and the semantic segmentation capacity of our model. In deeplearning experiment, sensitivities for calcified, fibrous and lipid plaques were 91.81 +/- 3.60 %, 92.81 +/- 2.72 % and 91.78 +/- 1.62 %, respectively. A 3-D volume was created to insert each prediction slice along the depth axis to compute the maximum type number of each pixel in order to identify the final type of each pixel. Post-processing was used to refine the classification findings in order to eliminate classification errors. Semantic segmentation neural network based on the cropped input data and feature reusing was a feasible approach for the vessel tissue pixel-classification of IVOCT image. The proposed method has the potential to become a useful tool for specialists in analysing lesion kinds and determining clinical

Early detection, early diagnosis and classification of the cancer type facilitates faster disease management of patients. Cervical cancer is fourth most pervasive cancer type which affects life of many people worldwide. The intent of this study is to automate cancer diagnosis and classification through deeplearning techniques to ensure patients health condition progress timely. For this research, Herlev dataset was utilized which contains 917 benchmarked pap smear cells of cervical with 26 attributes and two target variables for training and testing phase. We have adopted combination of convolutional network with variational autoencoder for data classification. The usage of variational autoencoder reduces the dimensionality of data for further processing with involvement of softmax layer for training. The results have been obtained over 917 cancerous image type pap smear cells, where 70% (642) allocated for training and remaining 30% (275) considered for test data set. The proposed architecture achieved variational accuracy of 99.2% with 2*2 filter size and 99.4% with 3*3 filter size using different epochs. The proposed hybrid variational convolutional autoencoder approach applied first time for cervical cancer diagnosis and performed better than traditional machine learning methods.

The real-world application of Computational Imaging and imageprocessing in the fields like autonomous Vehicles and robot-based warehouses is immense. The guiding of these machines safely and securely is an important task. And hence the knowledge and a precise judgement on human trajectories based on the realtime data collected becomes an equally important task, given humans move through complicated, crowded situations by abiding social norms. deeplearning techniques recently fared better than their manually produced equivalents because they learn about human-human interactions in a more general, data-driven way. We base our work on such standard architecture and implement architectural changes. We design a new way of input encoding, which captures the long-term intent better than only taking positions or velocities. We introduce a novel Channel-wise attention mechanism using CNN in the bottleneck of LSTM encoder-decoder network. We came up with a curvature loss and also a new metric with a specially crafted dataset to implement this metric that evaluates the models on how well they could predict a turn in the right direction of the right magnitude. Experimental results show that the proposed approach outperforms popular approaches and several baselines.

The success rate of bovine in vitro embryo reproduction is low and highly dependent on the oocyte quality. The selection of the oocyte to be fertilized is done by the embryologists’ visual examination of oocytes. It is time-consuming, subjective, and inconsistent between specialists in the area. In this paper, a semi-automatic solution is proposed to score the quality of an immature oocyte. It consists of a deeplearning model to classify oocyte competence. The model was trained and tested with real data, composed of images of immature oocytes and their label of whether they developed into blastocysts after fertilization. To the best of our knowledge, automated bovine oocyte classification was not attempted before, but experimental results show that our proposed solution is more robust and objective than specialists’ visual assessment and comparable with other works on human *** relevance— This establishes a semi-automatic real-time method to score bovine immature oocytes, based on stereo-microscopy images. Our method will significantly reduce the time of in vitro embryo production and its success.
