Research of the active reflector antenna using laser angle metrology system
Active reflector is one of the key technologies for constructing large
telescopes, especially for the millimeter/sub-millimeter radio telescopes. This
article introduces a new efficient laser angle metrology system for the active
reflector antenna of the large radio telescopes, with a plenty of active
reflector experiments mainly about the detecting precisions and the maintaining
of the surface shape in real time, on the 65-meter radio telescope prototype
constructed by Nanjing Institute of Astronomical Optics and Technology (NIAOT).
The test results indicate that the accuracy of the surface shape segmenting and
maintaining is up to micron dimension, and the time-response can be of the
order of minutes. Therefore, it is proved to be workable for the sub-millimeter
radio telescopes.Comment: 10 pages, 15 figure
Enlarged Training Dataset by Pairwise GANs for Molecular-Based Brain Tumor Classification
This paper addresses issues of brain tumor subtype classification using Magnetic Resonance Images (MRIs) from different scanner modalities like T1 weighted, T1 weighted with contrast-enhanced, T2 weighted and FLAIR images. Currently most available glioma datasets are relatively moderate in size,and often accompanied with incomplete MRIs in different modalities. To tackle the commonly encountered problems of insufficiently large brain tumor datasets and incomplete modality of image for deep learning, we propose to add augmented brain MR images to enlarge the training dataset by employing a pairwise Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) model. The pairwise GAN is able to generate synthetic MRIs across different modalities. To achieve the patient-level diagnostic result, we propose a post-processing strategy to combine the slice-level glioma subtype classification results by majority voting. A two-stage course-to-fine training strategy is proposed to learn the glioma feature using GAN-augmented MRIs followed by real MRIs. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme, experiments have been conducted on a brain tumor dataset for classifying glioma molecular subtypes: isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) mutation and IDH1 wild-type. Our results on the dataset have shown good performance (with test accuracy 88.82%). Comparisons with several state-of-the-art methods are also included
Measuring Significance of Community Structure in Complex Networks
Many complex systems can be represented as networks and separating a network
into communities could simplify the functional analysis considerably. Recently,
many approaches have been proposed for finding communities, but none of them
can evaluate the communities found are significant or trivial definitely. In
this paper, we propose an index to evaluate the significance of communities in
networks. The index is based on comparing the similarity between the original
community structure in network and the community structure of the network after
perturbed, and is defined by integrating all the similarities. Many artificial
networks and real-world networks are tested. The results show that the index is
independent from the size of network and the number of communities. Moreover,
we find the clear communities always exist in social networks, but don't find
significative communities in proteins interaction networks and metabolic
networks.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures, 1 tabl
Deep semi-supervised learning for brain tumor classification
Background: This paper addresses issues of brain tumor, glioma, classification from four modalities of Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) scans (i.e., T1 weighted MRI, T1 weighted MRI with contrast-enhanced, T2 weighted MRI and FLAIR). Currently, many available glioma datasets often contain some unlabeled brain scans, and many datasets are moderate in size. Methods: We propose to exploit deep semi-supervised learning to make full use of the unlabeled data. Deep CNN features were incorporated into a new graph-based semi-supervised learning framework for learning the labels of the unlabeled data, where a new 3D-2D consistent constraint is added to make consistent classifications for the 2D slices from the same 3D brain scan. A deep-learning classifier is then trained to classify different glioma types using both labeled and unlabeled data with estimated labels. To alleviate the overfitting caused by moderate-size datasets, synthetic MRIs generated by Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) are added in the training of CNNs. Results: The proposed scheme has been tested on two glioma datasets, TCGA dataset for IDH-mutation prediction (molecular-based glioma subtype classification) and MICCAI dataset for glioma grading. Our results have shown good performance (with test accuracies 86.53% on TCGA dataset and 90.70% on MICCAI dataset). Conclusions: The proposed scheme is effective for glioma IDH-mutation prediction and glioma grading, and its performance is comparable to the state-of-the-art
