A deep learning framework to discern and count microscopic nematode eggs.

In order to identify and control the menace of destructive pests via microscopic image-based identification state-of-the art deep learning architecture is demonstrated on the parasitic worm, the soybean cyst nematode (SCN), Heterodera glycines. Soybean yield loss is negatively correlated with the density of SCN eggs that are present in the soil. While there has been progress in automating extracti...

Protein-Protein Interactions Prediction via Multimodal Deep Polynomial Network and Regularized Extreme Learning Machine.

Predicting the protein-protein interactions (PPIs) has played an important role in many applications. Hence, a novel computational method for PPIs prediction is highly desirable. PPIs endow with protein amino acid mutation rate and two physicochemical properties of protein (e.g., hydrophobicity and hydrophilicity). Deep polynomial network (DPN) is well-suited to integrate these modalities since it...
