The COVID-19 pandemic has had a devastating effect on many people, creating severe anxiety, fear, and complicated feelings or emotions. After the initiation of vaccinations against coronavirus, people's feelings have become more diverse and complex. ...
In this research, a novel sound source localization model is introduced that integrates a convolutional neural network with a regression model (CNN-R) to estimate the sound source angle and distance based on the acoustic characteristics of the intera...

The field of medical imaging diagnostic makes use of a modality of imaging tests, e.g., X-rays, ultrasounds, computed tomographies, and magnetic resonance imaging, to assist physicians with the diagnostic of patients' illnesses. Due to their state-of...
We present a simple and efficient hypothesis-free machine learning pipeline for risk factor discovery that accounts for non-linearity and interaction in large biomedical databases with minimal variable pre-processing. In this study, mortality models ...
For various forms of skin lesion, many different feature extraction methods have been investigated so far. Indeed, feature extraction is a crucial step in machine learning processes. In general, we can distinct handcrafted and deep learning features....
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Cancer metastasis into distant organs is an evolutionarily selective process. A better understanding of the driving forces endowing proliferative plasticity of tumor seeds in distant soils is required to develop and adapt better tr...

BACKGROUND: In surgical department, CPT code assignment has been a complicated manual human effort, that entails significant related knowledge and experience. While there are several studies using CPTs to make predictions in surgical services, litera...
Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy is widely used but effective only in a subset of gastric cancers. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive and microsatellite instability (MSI) / mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) tumors have been reported to be high...
