Infant Cry Signal Diagnostic System Using Deep Learning and Fused Features

Deep learning has gained immense popularity in scientific computing, and its algorithms are widely used in complex problem-solving industries. Every deep learning algorithm use different types of neural networks to perform indented tasks. Deep learning (DL) algorithms have emerged from different machine learning and soft computing methodologies. Since then, a number of deep learning (DL) algorithms have been recently introduced in the scientific community and applied in various application fields. Today, the use of DLs has become indispensable due to their intelligence, effective learning, accuracy and reliability in model creation. However, a comprehensive list of DL algorithms has not yet been presented in the scientific literature. This article lists the most popular DL algorithms and their application areas. Deep learning uses ANN artificial neural networks to perform convoluted calculations on huge amounts of data. It is a type of machine learning based on the structure and function of the human brain. Deep learning algorithms train machines by learning from examples. Industries such as healthcare, e-commerce, entertainment and advertising often use deep learning.

Improving the performance of machine learning algorithms to overcome the curse of dimensionality while maintaining interpretability is still a challenging issue for researchers in artificial intelligence. Patch learning (PL), based on the improved adaptive network-based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and continuous local optimization for the input domain, is characterized by high accuracy. However, PL can only handle low-dimensional data set regression. Based on the parallel and serial ensembles, two deep patch learning algorithms with embedded adaptive fuzzy systems (DPLFSs) are proposed in this paper. First, using the maximum information coefficient (MIC) and Pearson's correlation coefficients for feature selection, the variables with the least relationship (linear or nonlinear) are excluded. Second, principal component analysis is used to reduce the complexity further of DPLFSs. Meanwhile, fuzzy C-means clustering is used to enhance the interpretability of DPLFSs. Then, an improved PL method is put forward for the training of each sub-fuzzy system in a fashion of bottom-up layer-by-layer, and finally, the structure optimization is performed to significantly improve the interpretability of DPLFSs. Experiments on several benchmark data sets show the advantages of a DPLFS: (1) it can handle medium-scale data sets; (2) it can overcome the curse of dimensionality faced by PL; (3) its precision and generalization are greatly improved; and (4) it can overcome the poor interpretability of deep learning networks. Compared with shallow and deep learning algorithms, DPLFSs have the advantages of interpretability, self-learning, and high precision. DPLFS1 is superior for medium-scale data; DPLFS2 is more efficient and effective for high-dimensional problems, has a faster convergence, and is more interpretable.

BACKGROUNDTraditional methods of developing predictive models in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) rely on using statistical regression approaches to deriving clinical scores such as the Crohn's disease (CD) activity index. However, traditional approaches are unable to take advantage of more complex data structures such as repeated measurements. Deep learning methods have the potential ability to automatically find and learn complex, hidden relationships between predictive markers and outcomes, but their application to clinical prediction in CD and IBD has not been explored previously.AIMTo determine and compare the utility of deep learning with conventional algorithms in predicting response to anti-tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) therapy in CD.METHODSThis was a retrospective single-center cohort study of all CD patients who commenced anti-TNF therapy (either adalimumab or infliximab) from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2015. Remission was defined as a C-reactive protein (CRP) < 5 mg/L at 12 mo after anti-TNF commencement. Three supervised learning algorithms were compared: (1) A conventional statistical learning algorithm using multivariable logistic regression on baseline data only; (2) A deep learning algorithm using a feed-forward artificial neural network on baseline data only; and (3) A deep learning algorithm using a recurrent neural network on repeated data. Predictive performance was assessed using area under the receiver operator characteristic curve (AUC) after 10× repeated 5-fold cross-validation.RESULTSA total of 146 patients were included (median age 36 years, 48% male). Concomitant therapy at anti-TNF commencement included thiopurines (68%), methotrexate (18%), corticosteroids (44%) and aminosalicylates (33%). After 12 mo, 64% had CRP < 5 mg/L. The conventional learning algorithm selected the following baseline variables for the predictive model: Complex disease behavior, albumin, monocytes, lymphocytes, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration and gamma-glutamyl transferase, and had a cross-validated AUC of 0.659, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.562-0.756. A feed-forward artificial neural network using only baseline data demonstrated an AUC of 0.710 (95%CI: 0.622-0.799; P = 0.25 vs conventional). A recurrent neural network using repeated biomarker measurements demonstrated significantly higher AUC compared to the conventional algorithm (0.754, 95%CI: 0.674-0.834; P = 0.036).CONCLUSIONDeep learning methods are feasible and have the potential for stronger predictive performance compared to conventional model building methods when applied to predicting remission after anti-TNF therapy in CD.

Machine Learning (ML) is increasingly being used in intelligent systems that can perform Artificial Intelligence (AI) functions. Analytical model development and solving problems related with it may be automated by machine learning, which explains the ability of computers to learn from problem-specific learning algorithm. Depending on artificial neural networks, "deep learning" is a kind of machine learning. The performance of deep learning techniques is superior to that of superficial machine learning techniques and conventional methods of data analysis in many situations. Deep Machine Learning (DML) algorithms and frameworks that have been implemented to and supported by wireless communication systems have been thoroughly analyzed in this paper. User associations, power latency and allocation; bandwidth assignment and user selections, and; cloud computing technology on the edge have both been suggested as potential DML implementations.

Background Machine learning (ML) algorithm support vector machine (SVM) performed better than Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) score for ASIAN STEMI patients. However, Deep Learning (DL) effectiveness in the multiethnic ASIAN population has yet to be determined. DL has automatic learning of the feature from a given dataset without the need to conduct feature selection. However, the selected features by the algorithm is black box. Identifying features associated with mortality is essential to recognize characteristics of patients with high risk for better patient management. Purpose To develop a DL algorithm for in-hospital mortality in multiethnic STEMI patients using predictors identified from the SVM algorithm. To investigate DL performance constructed using predictors from SVM feature extraction and expert-recommended predictors. Methods We constructed four algorithms; a) DL and SVM algorithms with predictors identified from the SVM variable importance b) DL and SVM using predictors based on expert recommendation. We used registry data from the National Cardiovascular Disease Database of 11397 patient's. Fifty parameters including demographics, cardiovascular risk, medications and clinical variables were considered. The Area under the curve (AUC) is the performance evaluation metric. Algorithms were validated against the TIMI and tested using the same validation data. SVM variable importance with backward elimination was used to select and rank important variables. Results DL algorithms outperform SVM and TIMI on the validation dataset; i) DL with SVM selected predictors (15 predictors, AUC = 0.97), ii) DL with expert-recommended predictors (16 predictors, AUC = 0.96), iii) SVM with selected predictors (15 predictors, AUC = 0.92), iv) SVM with expert-recommended predictors (AUC = 0.89) and TIMI (AUC = 0.82). Common predictors across SVM feature selection, expert-recommendation and TIMI are: age, heart rate, Killip class, fasting blood glucose, systolic blood pressure, comorbid diseases and ST-elevation. SVM feature selection also identified diuretics, PCI and pharmacotherapy drugs as predictors that improve mortality prediction in STEMI patients. Our findings suggest that the TIMI score underestimates patients risk of mortality. DL algorithm using selected predictors classified 35% of nonsurvival patients as high risk (risk probabilities &amp;gt;50%) compared to only 12.7% nonsurvival patients by TIMI (score &amp;gt;5) (Figure below). Conclusions In the ASIAN population, patients with STEMI can be better classified using the DL algorithm compared to the ML and TIMI score. Combining ML feature selection with DL allows the identification of distinct factors in a unique ASIAN population for better mortality prediction than relying solely on an expert recommendation as it is a very subjective approach. Continuous validation on population-specific algorithms using DL and ML is needed before implementing in a real clinical setting.

Recent technological advancements allow deep learning to be employed in practically every aspect of life. Because deep learning techniques are so precise, they can be used in medicine to classify and detect various diseases. The coronavirus (SARSCoV2) epidemic has recently affected global health systems. One of the ways to diagnose SARSCoV2 is with a chest X-ray. This paper proposes a deep learning technique to distinguish SARSCoV2 positive and normal cases. In this study, we fine-tuned the deep learning models and hyperparameters, and the fine-tuned deep learning models performed significantly better. To classify X-ray images, we developed a system based on deep learning algorithms that includes five models: Xception, VGG19, ResNet50, DenseNet121, and Inception. We offer deep learning models and algorithms that have been trained and evaluated to support medical efforts and reduce medical staff workload when dealing with SARSCoV2. In addition, the classification model that was proposed yields positive results because it makes use of accurate classification of the SARSCoV2 disease based on medical images. Additionally, the performance of our proposed CNN classification method for medical imaging was evaluated using various edge-based neural networks. The accuracy of tertiary classification with CNN will decrease as the number of classes in the training network grows. In tertiary classification, which includes normal and SARSCoV2 positive images, the proposed model achieved a 0.9897 accuracy. The proposed algorithm achieves a high level of classification accuracy when using the DenseNet121 model for binary classification.

Speaker recognition is an Artificial Intelligent (AI) technology that lets the machine to process, interpret and respond to human language. In this work, the recorded speech developed from a collection of audio speeches is used as a database. Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC) and gammatone frequency cepstral coefficients (GFCC) are two different cepstral features used in this work. These extracted features are then used to train, validate and test the classifier. Support Vector Machine (SVM) is the classifier used in developing the speaker identification system. This classifier is trained to classify the input speech into one of the ethnicity classes: Malay, Chinese, Indian or Bumiputera. The results are based on the two different usages of cepstral features from the same speech utterances by speakers. Finally, the comparative analysis of the speaker identification system is made concerning features and classifier. The results revealed that a combination of GFCC and pitch as the feature vectors (Model 4) produced the highest accuracy rate of 86.1%.

In recent years, differential privacy technology has been introduced into deep learning to satisfy the protection of personal privacy data. However, the existing differential privacy technology will weaken the generalization ability of deep learning networks. To address the problem, a differential privacy noise Bayesian gradient descent algorithm (Dif-NoBa) in Deep Learning was proposed. For the method, the privacy protection algorithm acts on a single neuron in the neural network. Therefore, no matter how complex the network is, it only focuses on a single neuron, so that each neuron can satisfy its own differential privacy, and then the whole network can meet the differential privacy, effectively solving the problem of insufficient generalization ability of neural network caused by adding arbitrary noise.

The aim of this study is to develop a predictive model utilizing deep learning and machine learning techniques that will inform clinical decision-making by predicting the 1-year postoperative recovery of patients with lumbar disk herniation. The clinical data of 470 inpatients who underwent tubular microdiscectomy (TMD) between January 2018 and January 2021 were retrospectively analyzed as variables. The dataset was randomly divided into a training set (n = 329) and a test set (n = 141) using a 10-fold cross-validation technique. Various deep learning and machine learning algorithms including Random Forests, Extreme Gradient Boosting, Support Vector Machines, Extra Trees, K-Nearest Neighbors, Logistic Regression, Light Gradient Boosting Machine, and MLP (Artificial Neural Networks) were employed to develop predictive models for the recovery of patients with lumbar disk herniation 1 year after surgery. The cure rate score of lumbar JOA score 1 year after TMD was used as an outcome indicator. The primary evaluation metric was the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), with additional measures including decision curve analysis (DCA), accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and others. The heat map of the correlation matrix revealed low inter-feature correlation. The predictive model employing both machine learning and deep learning algorithms was constructed using 15 variables after feature engineering. Among the eight algorithms utilized, the MLP algorithm demonstrated the best performance. Our study findings demonstrate that the MLP algorithm provides superior predictive performance for the recovery of patients with lumbar disk herniation 1 year after surgery.

Oral pronunciation refers to the way words are spoken aloud, encompassing aspects like accent, intonation, and clarity. It plays a crucial role in effective communication, influencing listeners to understand the speaker. The purpose of this research is to construct an English oral pronunciation evaluation model based on a deep learning algorithm. In this research, we propose a novel Dung Beetle Optimization-driven Customized Deep Belief Network (DBO-CDBN) for accurate detection and evaluation of English oral pronunciation. We obtain a dataset that comprises audio recordings of English speech, including both correct and mispronounced samples to train and evaluate the suggested pronunciation evaluation model. Data normalization is used to pre-process the gathered raw audio data, it enhances the overall quality of the data. The Gammatone Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (GFCC) algorithm is employed to extract the crucial features from the obtained audio data. In our proposed model, the DBO optimization algorithm iteratively finetunes the CDBN architecture to enhance the evaluation accuracy. The approach, which is executed in python, is shown to be more successful in pronunciation evaluation and to provide prospective advances in the area when its performance is examined and compared to other approaches in terms of precision (96.78%), recall (93.65%), and [Formula: see text]-measure (94.53%). The established model is implemented using Python software. During the outcome analysis phase, we evaluate our model’s performance across various parameters. In addition, we also performed a comparative analysis using diverse existing methodologies. The findings demonstrate the excellence and effectiveness of the suggested future economic forecasting model.
