Deep learning cardiac motion analysis for human survival prediction
Motion analysis is used in computer vision to understand the behaviour of
moving objects in sequences of images. Optimising the interpretation of dynamic
biological systems requires accurate and precise motion tracking as well as
efficient representations of high-dimensional motion trajectories so that these
can be used for prediction tasks. Here we use image sequences of the heart,
acquired using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, to create time-resolved
three-dimensional segmentations using a fully convolutional network trained on
anatomical shape priors. This dense motion model formed the input to a
supervised denoising autoencoder (4Dsurvival), which is a hybrid network
consisting of an autoencoder that learns a task-specific latent code
representation trained on observed outcome data, yielding a latent
representation optimised for survival prediction. To handle right-censored
survival outcomes, our network used a Cox partial likelihood loss function. In
a study of 302 patients the predictive accuracy (quantified by Harrell's
C-index) was significantly higher (p < .0001) for our model C=0.73 (95 CI:
0.68 - 0.78) than the human benchmark of C=0.59 (95 CI: 0.53 - 0.65). This
work demonstrates how a complex computer vision task using high-dimensional
medical image data can efficiently predict human survival
Cancer diagnosis using deep learning: A bibliographic review
In this paper, we first describe the basics of the field of cancer diagnosis, which includes steps of cancer diagnosis followed by the typical classification methods used by doctors, providing a historical idea of cancer classification techniques to the readers. These methods include Asymmetry, Border, Color and Diameter (ABCD) method, seven-point detection method, Menzies method, and pattern analysis. They are used regularly by doctors for cancer diagnosis, although they are not considered very efficient for obtaining better performance. Moreover, considering all types of audience, the basic evaluation criteria are also discussed. The criteria include the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve), Area under the ROC curve (AUC), F1 score, accuracy, specificity, sensitivity, precision, dice-coefficient, average accuracy, and Jaccard index. Previously used methods are considered inefficient, asking for better and smarter methods for cancer diagnosis. Artificial intelligence and cancer diagnosis are gaining attention as a way to define better diagnostic tools. In particular, deep neural networks can be successfully used for intelligent image analysis. The basic framework of how this machine learning works on medical imaging is provided in this study, i.e., pre-processing, image segmentation and post-processing. The second part of this manuscript describes the different deep learning techniques, such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs), generative adversarial models (GANs), deep autoencoders (DANs), restricted Boltzmann’s machine (RBM), stacked autoencoders (SAE), convolutional autoencoders (CAE), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), long short-term memory (LTSM), multi-scale convolutional neural network (M-CNN), multi-instance learning convolutional neural network (MIL-CNN). For each technique, we provide Python codes, to allow interested readers to experiment with the cited algorithms on their own diagnostic problems. The third part of this manuscript compiles the successfully applied deep learning models for different types of cancers. Considering the length of the manuscript, we restrict ourselves to the discussion of breast cancer, lung cancer, brain cancer, and skin cancer. The purpose of this bibliographic review is to provide researchers opting to work in implementing deep learning and artificial neural networks for cancer diagnosis a knowledge from scratch of the state-of-the-art achievements
Adversarial Multi-task Learning for Text Classification
Neural network models have shown their promising opportunities for multi-task
learning, which focus on learning the shared layers to extract the common and
task-invariant features. However, in most existing approaches, the extracted
shared features are prone to be contaminated by task-specific features or the
noise brought by other tasks. In this paper, we propose an adversarial
multi-task learning framework, alleviating the shared and private latent
feature spaces from interfering with each other. We conduct extensive
experiments on 16 different text classification tasks, which demonstrates the
benefits of our approach. Besides, we show that the shared knowledge learned by
our proposed model can be regarded as off-the-shelf knowledge and easily
transferred to new tasks. The datasets of all 16 tasks are publicly available

Thirty Years of Machine Learning: The Road to Pareto-Optimal Wireless Networks
Future wireless networks have a substantial potential in terms of supporting
a broad range of complex compelling applications both in military and civilian
fields, where the users are able to enjoy high-rate, low-latency, low-cost and
reliable information services. Achieving this ambitious goal requires new radio
techniques for adaptive learning and intelligent decision making because of the
complex heterogeneous nature of the network structures and wireless services.
Machine learning (ML) algorithms have great success in supporting big data
analytics, efficient parameter estimation and interactive decision making.
Hence, in this article, we review the thirty-year history of ML by elaborating
on supervised learning, unsupervised learning, reinforcement learning and deep
learning. Furthermore, we investigate their employment in the compelling
applications of wireless networks, including heterogeneous networks (HetNets),
cognitive radios (CR), Internet of things (IoT), machine to machine networks
(M2M), and so on. This article aims for assisting the readers in clarifying the
motivation and methodology of the various ML algorithms, so as to invoke them
for hitherto unexplored services as well as scenarios of future wireless
networks.Comment: 46 pages, 22 fig
