Machine learning based small bowel video capsule endoscopy analysis: Challenges and opportunities
YesVideo capsule endoscopy (VCE) is a revolutionary technology for the early diagnosis of gastric disorders. However, owing to the high redundancy and subtle manifestation of anomalies among thousands of frames, the manual construal of VCE videos requires considerable patience, focus, and time. The automatic analysis of these videos using computational methods is a challenge as the capsule is untamed in motion and captures frames inaptly. Several machine learning (ML) methods, including recent deep convolutional neural networks approaches, have been adopted after evaluating their potential of improving the VCE analysis. However, the clinical impact of these methods is yet to be investigated. This survey aimed to highlight the gaps between existing ML-based research methodologies and clinically significant rules recently established by gastroenterologists based on VCE. A framework for interpreting raw frames into contextually relevant frame-level findings and subsequently merging these findings with meta-data to obtain a disease-level diagnosis was formulated. Frame-level findings can be more intelligible for discriminative learning when organized in a taxonomical hierarchy. The proposed taxonomical hierarchy, which is formulated based on pathological and visual similarities, may yield better classification metrics by setting inference classes at a higher level than training classes. Mapping from the frame level to the disease level was structured in the form of a graph based on clinical relevance inspired by the recent international consensus developed by domain experts. Furthermore, existing methods for VCE summarization, classification, segmentation, detection, and localization were critically evaluated and compared based on aspects deemed significant by clinicians. Numerous studies pertain to single anomaly detection instead of a pragmatic approach in a clinical setting. The challenges and opportunities associated with VCE analysis were delineated. A focus on maximizing the discriminative power of features corresponding to various subtle lesions and anomalies may help cope with the diverse and mimicking nature of different VCE frames. Large multicenter datasets must be created to cope with data sparsity, bias, and class imbalance. Explainability, reliability, traceability, and transparency are important for an ML-based diagnostics system in a VCE. Existing ethical and legal bindings narrow the scope of possibilities where ML can potentially be leveraged in healthcare. Despite these limitations, ML based video capsule endoscopy will revolutionize clinical practice, aiding clinicians in rapid and accurate diagnosis

UAV based wilt detection system via convolutional neural networks
YesThe significant role of plants can be observed through the dependency of animals and humans on them. Oxygen, materials, food and the beauty of the world are contributed by plants. Climate change, the decrease in pollinators, and plant diseases are causing a significant decline in both quality and coverage ratio of the plants and crops on a global scale. In developed countries, above 80 percent of rural production is produced by sharecropping. However, due to widespread diseases in plants, yields are reported to have declined by more than a half. These diseases are identified and diagnosed by the agricultural and forestry department. Manual inspection on a large area of fields requires a huge amount of time and effort, thereby reduces the effectiveness significantly. To counter this problem, we propose an automatic disease detection and classification method in radish fields by using a camera attached to an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to capture high quality images from the fields and analyze them by extracting both color and texture features, then we used K-means clustering to filter radish regions and feeds them into a fine-tuned GoogleNet to detect Fusarium wilt of radish efficiently at early stage and allow the authorities to take timely action which ensures the food safety for current and future generations.Supported by Korea Institute of Planning and Evaluation for Technology in Food, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries(IPET) through Agri-Bio Industry Technology Development Program, funded by Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs(MAFRA) (316033-04-2-338 SB030)
A novel sentiment aware dictionary for multi-domain sentiment classification
Sentiment Analysis is a sub area of Natural Language Processing (NLP) which extracts user's opinion and classifies it according to its polarity. This task has many applications but it is domain dependent and a costly task to annotate the corpora in every possible domain of interest before training the classifier. We are making an attempt to solve this problem by creating a sentiment aware dictionary using multiple domain data. This dictionary is created using labeled data from the source domain and unlabeled data from both source and target domains. Next, this dictionary is used to classify the unlabeled reviews of the target domain. The work is carried out in Hindi, the official language of India. The web pages in Hindi language is booming after the introduction of UTF-8 encoding style. When compared with labeling done by Hindi Sentiwordnet (HSWN), a general lexicon for word polarity, the proposed method is able to label 23-24 more number of words of target domain. The labels assigned by our method and the labels given by HSWN, for the available words, are compared and found matching with 76 accuracy. © 2017 Elsevier Ltd
