Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a pervasive pediatric white blood cell cancer across the globe. With the popularity of convolutional neural networks (CNNs), computer-aided diagnosis of cancer has attracted considerable attention. Such tools are...
Thyroid cancer is a disease in which the first symptom is a nodule in the thyroid region of the neck. It is one of the cancers with the highest incidences, and has the highest increase rate in the last thirty years. Ultrasonography is one of the most...
Objective and quantitative assessment of fundus image quality is essential for the diagnosis of retinal diseases. The major factors in fundus image quality assessment are image artifact, clarity, and field definition. Unfortunately, most of existing ...

BACKGROUND: Automated machine-learning systems are able to de-identify electronic medical records, including free-text clinical notes. Use of such systems would greatly boost the amount of data available to researchers, yet their deployment has been ...
In the last decades, large datasets of fundus photographs have been collected in diabetic retinopathy (DR) screening networks. Through deep learning, these datasets were used to train automatic detectors for DR and a few other frequent pathologies, w...
Determining intrinsic number of clusters in a multidimensional dataset is a commonly encountered problem in exploratory data analysis. Unsupervised clustering algorithms often rely on specification of cluster number as an input parameter. However, th...
Deep neural networks have gained immense popularity in the Big Data problem; however, the availability of training samples can be relatively limited in specific application domains, particularly medical imaging, and consequently leading to overfittin...
Aesthetic perception is a human instinct that is responsive to multimedia stimuli. Giving computers the ability to assess human sensory and perceptual experience of aesthetics is a well-recognized need for the intelligent design industry and multimed...
Segmentation is fundamental to medical image analysis. Recent advances in fully convolutional networks has enabled automatic segmentation; however, high labeling efforts and difficulty in acquiring sufficient and high-quality training data is still a...
Protein structure prediction can be used to determine the three-dimensional shape of a protein from its amino acid sequence. This problem is of fundamental importance as the structure of a protein largely determines its function; however, protein str...
