A novel approach to jointly address localization and classification of breast cancer using bio-inspired approach
Localization of the cancerous region as well as classification of the type of the cancer is highly inter-linked with each other. However, investigation towards existing approaches depicts that these problems are always iindividually solved where there is still a big research gap for a generalized solution towards addressing both the problems. Therefore, the proposed manuscript presents a simple, novel, and less-iterative computational model that jointly address the localization-classification problems taking the case study of early diagnosis of breast cancer. The proposed study harnesses the potential of simple bio-inspired optimization technique in order to obtained better local and global best outcome to confirm the accuracy of the outcome. The study outcome of the proposed system exhibits that proposed system offers higher accuracy and lower response time in contrast with other existing classifiers that are freqently witnessed in existing approaches of classification in medical image process
Engineering derivatives from biological systems for advanced aerospace applications
The present study consisted of a literature survey, a survey of researchers, and a workshop on bionics. These tasks produced an extensive annotated bibliography of bionics research (282 citations), a directory of bionics researchers, and a workshop report on specific bionics research topics applicable to space technology. These deliverables are included as Appendix A, Appendix B, and Section 5.0, respectively. To provide organization to this highly interdisciplinary field and to serve as a guide for interested researchers, we have also prepared a taxonomy or classification of the various subelements of natural engineering systems. Finally, we have synthesized the results of the various components of this study into a discussion of the most promising opportunities for accelerated research, seeking solutions which apply engineering principles from natural systems to advanced aerospace problems. A discussion of opportunities within the areas of materials, structures, sensors, information processing, robotics, autonomous systems, life support systems, and aeronautics is given. Following the conclusions are six discipline summaries that highlight the potential benefits of research in these areas for NASA's space technology programs
Label-Efficient Deep Learning in Medical Image Analysis: Challenges and Future Directions
Deep learning has seen rapid growth in recent years and achieved
state-of-the-art performance in a wide range of applications. However, training
models typically requires expensive and time-consuming collection of large
quantities of labeled data. This is particularly true within the scope of
medical imaging analysis (MIA), where data are limited and labels are expensive
to be acquired. Thus, label-efficient deep learning methods are developed to
make comprehensive use of the labeled data as well as the abundance of
unlabeled and weak-labeled data. In this survey, we extensively investigated
over 300 recent papers to provide a comprehensive overview of recent progress
on label-efficient learning strategies in MIA. We first present the background
of label-efficient learning and categorize the approaches into different
schemes. Next, we examine the current state-of-the-art methods in detail
through each scheme. Specifically, we provide an in-depth investigation,
covering not only canonical semi-supervised, self-supervised, and
multi-instance learning schemes, but also recently emerged active and
annotation-efficient learning strategies. Moreover, as a comprehensive
contribution to the field, this survey not only elucidates the commonalities
and unique features of the surveyed methods but also presents a detailed
analysis of the current challenges in the field and suggests potential avenues
for future research.Comment: Update Few-shot Method
Social work with airports passengers
Social work at the airport is in to offer to passengers social services. The main
methodological position is that people are under stress, which characterized by a
particular set of characteristics in appearance and behavior. In such circumstances
passenger attracts in his actions some attention. Only person whom he trusts can help him
with the documents or psychologically
