A Survey on Deep Learning in Medical Image Analysis
Deep learning algorithms, in particular convolutional networks, have rapidly
become a methodology of choice for analyzing medical images. This paper reviews
the major deep learning concepts pertinent to medical image analysis and
summarizes over 300 contributions to the field, most of which appeared in the
last year. We survey the use of deep learning for image classification, object
detection, segmentation, registration, and other tasks and provide concise
overviews of studies per application area. Open challenges and directions for
future research are discussed.Comment: Revised survey includes expanded discussion section and reworked
introductory section on common deep architectures. Added missed papers from
before Feb 1st 201
Machine Learning for Neuroimaging with Scikit-Learn
Statistical machine learning methods are increasingly used for neuroimaging
data analysis. Their main virtue is their ability to model high-dimensional
datasets, e.g. multivariate analysis of activation images or resting-state time
series. Supervised learning is typically used in decoding or encoding settings
to relate brain images to behavioral or clinical observations, while
unsupervised learning can uncover hidden structures in sets of images (e.g.
resting state functional MRI) or find sub-populations in large cohorts. By
considering different functional neuroimaging applications, we illustrate how
scikit-learn, a Python machine learning library, can be used to perform some
key analysis steps. Scikit-learn contains a very large set of statistical
learning algorithms, both supervised and unsupervised, and its application to
neuroimaging data provides a versatile tool to study the brain.Comment: Frontiers in neuroscience, Frontiers Research Foundation, 2013, pp.1
Deep Learning via Stacked Sparse Autoencoders for Automated Voxel-Wise Brain Parcellation Based on Functional Connectivity
Functional brain parcellation – the delineation of brain regions based on functional connectivity – is an active research area lacking an ideal subject-specific solution independent of anatomical composition, manual feature engineering, or heavily labelled examples. Deep learning is a cutting-edge area of machine learning on the forefront of current artificial intelligence developments. Specifically, autoencoders are artificial neural networks which can be stacked to form hierarchical sparse deep models from which high-level features are compressed, organized, and extracted, without labelled training data, allowing for unsupervised learning. This thesis presents a novel application of stacked sparse autoencoders to the problem of parcellating the brain based on its components’ (voxels’) functional connectivity, focusing on the medial parietal cortex. Various depths of autoencoders are investigated, yielding results of up to (68 ± 3)% accuracy compared with ground truth parcellations using Dice’s coefficient. This data-driven functional parcellation technique offers promising growth to both the neuroimaging and machine learning communities
