A novel retinal vessel detection approach based on multiple deep convolution neural networks.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Computer aided detection (CAD) offers an efficient way to assist doctors to interpret fundus images. In a CAD system, retinal vessel (RV) detection is a crucial step to identify the retinal disease regions. However, RV detec...

A systematic literature review and classification of knowledge discovery in traditional medicine.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE: Despite the importance of machine learning methods application in traditional medicine there is a no systematic literature review and a classification for this field. This is the first comprehensive literature review of th...

End-to-End syndrome differentiation of Yin deficiency and Yang deficiency in traditional Chinese medicine.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Yin and Yang, two concepts adapted from classical Chinese philosophy, play a diagnostic role in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The Yin and Yang in harmonious balance indicate health, whereas imbalances to either side in...

An improved support vector machine-based diabetic readmission prediction.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: In healthcare systems, the cost of unplanned readmission accounts for a large proportion of total hospital payment. Hospital-specific readmission rate becomes a critical issue around the world. Quantification and early ident...

A semi-supervised deep learning method based on stacked sparse auto-encoder for cancer prediction using RNA-seq data.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Cancer has become a complex health problem due to its high mortality. Over the past few decades, with the rapid development of the high-throughput sequencing technology and the application of various machine learning methods...

Diagnosis of urinary tract infection based on artificial intelligence methods.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common disease affecting the vast majority of people. UTI involves a simple infection caused by urinary tract inflammation as well as a complicated infection that may be caused by an inflam...

Single-view 2D CNNs with fully automatic non-nodule categorization for false positive reduction in pulmonary nodule detection.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: In pulmonary nodule detection, the first stage, candidate detection, aims to detect suspicious pulmonary nodules. However, detected candidates include many false positives and thus in the following stage, false positive redu...

Transfer learning for classification of cardiovascular tissues in histological images.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Automatic classification of healthy tissues and organs based on histology images is an open problem, mainly due to the lack of automated tools. Solutions in this regard have potential in educational medicine and medical prac...

Automated ontology generation framework powered by linked biomedical ontologies for disease-drug domain.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
OBJECTIVE AND BACKGROUND: The exponential growth of the unstructured data available in biomedical literature, and Electronic Health Record (EHR), requires powerful novel technologies and architectures to unlock the information hidden in the unstructu...

Complex-valued unsupervised convolutional neural networks for sleep stage classification.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Despite numerous deep learning methods being developed for automatic sleep stage classification, almost all the models need labeled data. However, obtaining labeled data is a subjective process. Therefore, the labels will be...
