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
Elephant Search with Deep Learning for Microarray Data Analysis
Even though there is a plethora of research in Microarray gene expression
data analysis, still, it poses challenges for researchers to effectively and
efficiently analyze the large yet complex expression of genes. The feature
(gene) selection method is of paramount importance for understanding the
differences in biological and non-biological variation between samples. In
order to address this problem, a novel elephant search (ES) based optimization
is proposed to select best gene expressions from the large volume of microarray
data. Further, a promising machine learning method is envisioned to leverage
such high dimensional and complex microarray dataset for extracting hidden
patterns inside to make a meaningful prediction and most accurate
classification. In particular, stochastic gradient descent based Deep learning
(DL) with softmax activation function is then used on the reduced features
(genes) for better classification of different samples according to their gene
expression levels. The experiments are carried out on nine most popular Cancer
microarray gene selection datasets, obtained from UCI machine learning
repository. The empirical results obtained by the proposed elephant search
based deep learning (ESDL) approach are compared with most recent published
article for its suitability in future Bioinformatics research.Comment: 12 pages, 5 Tabl
Medical imaging analysis with artificial neural networks
Given that neural networks have been widely reported in the research community of medical imaging, we provide a focused literature survey on recent neural network developments in computer-aided diagnosis, medical image segmentation and edge detection towards visual content analysis, and medical image registration for its pre-processing and post-processing, with the aims of increasing awareness of how neural networks can be applied to these areas and to provide a foundation for further research and practical development. Representative techniques and algorithms are explained in detail to provide inspiring examples illustrating: (i) how a known neural network with fixed structure and training procedure could be applied to resolve a medical imaging problem; (ii) how medical images could be analysed, processed, and characterised by neural networks; and (iii) how neural networks could be expanded further to resolve problems relevant to medical imaging. In the concluding section, a highlight of comparisons among many neural network applications is included to provide a global view on computational intelligence with neural networks in medical imaging
