Towards a guideline for evaluation metrics in medical image segmentation.

BMC research notes
In the last decade, research on artificial intelligence has seen rapid growth with deep learning models, especially in the field of medical image segmentation. Various studies demonstrated that these models have powerful prediction capabilities and a...

Immediate effects of hybrid assistive limb gait training on lower limb function in a chronic myelopathy patient with postoperative late neurological deterioration.

BMC research notes
OBJECTIVE: The Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL) has recently been used to treat movement disorders. Although studies have shown its effectiveness for chronic myelopathy, the immediate effects of HAL gait training on lower limb function have not been clari...

Assessment of deep learning algorithms to predict histopathological diagnosis of breast cancer: first Moroccan prospective study on a private dataset.

BMC research notes
OBJECTIVE: Breast cancer is a critical public health issue and a leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women worldwide. Its early diagnosis and detection can effectively help in increasing the chances of survival rate. For this reason, the dia...

A toolkit for haptic force feedback in a telerobotic ultrasound system.

BMC research notes
OBJECTIVE: To develop a collision engine (haptic force feedback simulator) compatible with a 5-degrees-of-freedom (DOF) haptic wand. This has broad applications such as telerobotic ultrasound systems. Integrating force feedback into systems is critic...

SeqEnhDL: sequence-based classification of cell type-specific enhancers using deep learning models.

BMC research notes
OBJECTIVE: To address the challenge of computational identification of cell type-specific regulatory elements on a genome-wide scale.

Can pre-trained convolutional neural networks be directly used as a feature extractor for video-based neonatal sleep and wake classification?

BMC research notes
OBJECTIVE: In this paper, we propose to evaluate the use of pre-trained convolutional neural networks (CNNs) as a features extractor followed by the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to find the best discriminant features to perform classification u...

A decision support system based on support vector machine for diagnosis of periodontal disease.

BMC research notes
OBJECTIVE: Early diagnosis of many diseases is essential for their treatment. Furthermore, the existence of abundant and unknown variables makes more complicated decision making. For this reason, the diagnosis and classification of diseases using mac...

Disease prediction via Bayesian hyperparameter optimization and ensemble learning.

BMC research notes
OBJECTIVE: Early disease screening and diagnosis are important for improving patient survival. Thus, identifying early predictive features of disease is necessary. This paper presents a comprehensive comparative analysis of different Machine Learning...

Assessment of factors affecting tourism satisfaction using K-nearest neighborhood and random forest models.

BMC research notes
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to identify factors affecting the satisfaction of tourists traveling to the city of Hamadan as Asian urban tourism capital in 2018. The data a random sample of 300 tourists were collected using a designed questionnaire. We...

An efficient prototype method to identify and correct misspellings in clinical text.

BMC research notes
OBJECTIVE: Misspellings in clinical free text present challenges to natural language processing. With an objective to identify misspellings and their corrections, we developed a prototype spelling analysis method that implements Word2Vec, Levenshtein...
