This paper studies quasi-projective synchronization (QPS) and complete synchronization (CS) for a class of fractional-order complex-valued neural networks with time delays by designing suitable controllers. To realize QPS and CS, linear feedback cont...
This paper presents a method for automatic breast pectoral muscle segmentation in mediolateral oblique mammograms using a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) inspired by the Holistically-nested Edge Detection (HED) network. Most of the existing method...

Performance of robot-assisted endovascular surgery (ES) remains highly dependent on an individual surgeon's skills, due to common adoption of master-slave robotic structure. Surgeons' skill modeling and unstructured surgical state perception pose pro...
BACKGROUND: Microbiome profiles in the human body and environment niches have become publicly available due to recent advances in high-throughput sequencing technologies. Indeed, recent studies have already identified different microbiome profiles in...
The classification of benign and malignant lung nodules has great significance for the early detection of lung cancer, since early diagnosis of nodules can greatly increase patient survival. In this paper, we propose a novel classification method for...
An accurate prediction of achievable dose distribution on a patient specific basis would greatly improve IMRT/VMAT planning in both efficiency and quality. Recently machine learning techniques have been proposed for IMRT dose prediction based on pati...

Facial landmark detection is to localize multiple facial key-points for a given facial image. While many methods have achieved remarkable performance in recent years, the accuracy remains unsatisfactory due to some uncontrolled conditions such as occ...
Subterranean termites live in large colonies under the ground where they build an elaborate network of tunnels for foraging. In this study, we explored how the termite population size can be estimated using partial information on tunnel patterns. To ...
