Abstract The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has severely disrupted both human life and the health care system. Timely diagnosis and treatment have become increasingly important; however, the distribution and size of lesions vary widely among individuals, making it challenging to accurately diagnose the disease. This study proposed a deep-learning disease diagnosis model based on weakly supervised learning and clustering visualization (W_CVNet) that fused classification with segmentation. First, the data were preprocessed. An optimizable weakly supervised segmentation preprocessing method (O-WSSPM) was used to remove redundant data and solve the category imbalance problem. Second, a deep-learning fusion method was used for feature extraction… More >

Abstract In recent years, as intelligent transportation systems (ITS) such as autonomous driving and advanced driver-assistance systems have become more popular, there has been a rise in the need for different sources of traffic situation data. The classification of the road surface type, also known as the RST, is among the most essential of these situational data and can be utilized across the entirety of the ITS domain. Recently, the benefits of deep learning (DL) approaches for sensor-based RST classification have been demonstrated by automatic feature extraction without manual methods. The ability to extract important features is vital in making RST… More >

Abstract A brain tumor is a mass or growth of abnormal cells in the brain. In children and adults, brain tumor is considered one of the leading causes of death. There are several types of brain tumors, including benign (non-cancerous) and malignant (cancerous) tumors. Diagnosing brain tumors as early as possible is essential, as this can improve the chances of successful treatment and survival. Considering this problem, we bring forth a hybrid intelligent deep learning technique that uses several pre-trained models (Resnet50, Vgg16, Vgg19, U-Net) and their integration for computer-aided detection and localization systems in brain tumors. These pre-trained and integrated… More >

Abstract Considerable resources, technology, and efforts are being utilized worldwide to eradicate the coronavirus. Although certain measures taken to prevent the further spread of the disease have been successful, efforts to completely wipe out the coronavirus have been insufficient. Coronavirus patients have symptoms similar to those of chest Tuberculosis (TB) or pneumonia patients. Chest tuberculosis and coronavirus are similar because both diseases affect the lungs, cause coughing and produce an irregular respiratory system. Both diseases can be confirmed through X-ray imaging. It is a difficult task to diagnose COVID-19, as coronavirus testing kits are neither excessively available nor very reliable. In… More >

Abstract As the COVID-19 pandemic swept the globe, social media platforms became an essential source of information and communication for many. International students, particularly, turned to Twitter to express their struggles and hardships during this difficult time. To better understand the sentiments and experiences of these international students, we developed the Situational Aspect-Based Annotation and Classification (SABAC) text mining framework. This framework uses a three-layer approach, combining baseline Deep Learning (DL) models with Machine Learning (ML) models as meta-classifiers to accurately predict the sentiments and aspects expressed in tweets from our collected Student-COVID-19 dataset. Using the proposed aspect2class annotation algorithm, we… More >

Abstract This study employs nine distinct deep learning models to categorize 12,444 blood cell images and automatically extract from them relevant information with an accuracy that is beyond that achievable with traditional techniques. The work is intended to improve current methods for the assessment of human health through measurement of the distribution of four types of blood cells, namely, eosinophils, neutrophils, monocytes, and lymphocytes, known for their relationship with human body damage, inflammatory regions, and organ illnesses, in particular, and with the health of the immune system and other hazards, such as cardiovascular disease or infections, more in general. The results… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Gait refers to a person’s particular movements and stance while moving around. Although each person’s gait is unique and made up of a variety of tiny limb orientations and body positions, they all have common characteristics that help to define normalcy. Swiftly identifying such characteristics that are difficult to spot by the naked eye, can help in monitoring the elderly who require constant care and support. Analyzing silhouettes is the easiest way to assess and make any necessary adjustments for a smooth gait. It also becomes an important aspect of decision-making while analyzing and monitoring the progress of a patient… More >

Abstract Software systems have grown significantly and in complexity. As a result of these qualities, preventing software faults is extremely difficult. Software defect prediction (SDP) can assist developers in finding potential bugs and reducing maintenance costs. When it comes to lowering software costs and assuring software quality, SDP plays a critical role in software development. As a result, automatically forecasting the number of errors in software modules is important, and it may assist developers in allocating limited resources more efficiently. Several methods for detecting and addressing such flaws at a low cost have been offered. These approaches, on the other hand,… More >

Abstract Wind power is one of the sustainable ways to generate renewable energy. In recent years, some countries have set renewables to meet future energy needs, with the primary goal of reducing emissions and promoting sustainable growth, primarily the use of wind and solar power. To achieve the prediction of wind power generation, several deep and machine learning models are constructed in this article as base models. These regression models are Deep neural network (DNN), k-nearest neighbor (KNN) regressor, long short-term memory (LSTM), averaging model, random forest (RF) regressor, bagging regressor, and gradient boosting (GB) regressor. In addition, data cleaning and… More >

Abstract The automatic localization of the left ventricle (LV) in short-axis magnetic resonance (MR) images is a required step to process cardiac images using convolutional neural networks for the extraction of a region of interest (ROI). The precise extraction of the LV’s ROI from cardiac MRI images is crucial for detecting heart disorders via cardiac segmentation or registration. Nevertheless, this task appears to be intricate due to the diversities in the size and shape of the LV and the scattering of surrounding tissues across different slices. Thus, this study proposed a region-based convolutional network (Faster R-CNN) for the LV localization from… More >
