Establishment of noninvasive diabetes risk prediction model based on tongue features and machine learning techniques.

International journal of medical informatics
BACKGROUND: Diabetes is a chronic noncommunicable disease with high incidence rate. Diabetics without early diagnosis or standard treatment may contribute to serious multisystem complications, which can be life threatening. Timely detection and inter...

Automatic Construction of Chinese Herbal Prescriptions From Tongue Images Using CNNs and Auxiliary Latent Therapy Topics.

IEEE transactions on cybernetics
The tongue image provides important physical information of humans. It is of great importance for diagnoses and treatments in clinical medicine. Herbal prescriptions are simple, noninvasive, and have low side effects. Thus, they are widely applied in...

Effect of cross-cultural differences on thickness, firmness and sweetness sensitivity.

Food research international (Ottawa, Ont.)
Sensitivity of the somatosensory system may be influenced by multiple physiological parameters. Variations in oral physiology can arise from cross-cultural differences which may potentially affect sensory sensitivity. The aim of this case study was t...

Comparison of manual and machine learning image processing approaches to determine fungiform papillae on the tongue.

Scientific reports
Human taste perception is associated with the papillae on the tongue as they contain a large proportion of chemoreceptors for basic tastes and other chemosensation. Especially the density of fungiform papillae (FP) is considered as an index for respo...

Flexible electromagnetic capturer with a rapid ejection feature inspired by a biological ballistic tongue.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Bionics is the inspiration resource of state-of-the-art science and technology. The chameleon can capture prey at great distances with the assistance of its highly stretchable and ballistic tongue. Inspired by this biological structure, here we demon...

Grouping attributes zero-shot learning for tongue constitution recognition.

Artificial intelligence in medicine
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) considers that the personal constitution determines the occurrence trend and therapeutic effects of certain diseases, which can be recognized by machine learning through tongue images. However, current machine learn...

TISNet-Enhanced Fully Convolutional Network with Encoder-Decoder Structure for Tongue Image Segmentation in Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Computational and mathematical methods in medicine
Extracting the tongue body accurately from a digital tongue image is a challenge for automated tongue diagnoses, as the blurred edge of the tongue body, interference of pathological details, and the huge difference in the size and shape of the tongue...

Survival prediction for oral tongue cancer patients via probabilistic genetic algorithm optimized neural network models.

The British journal of radiology
OBJECTIVES: High throughput pre-treatment imaging features may predict radiation treatment outcome and guide individualized treatment in radiotherapy (RT). Given relatively small patient sample (as compared with high dimensional imaging features), id...

Encoder-decoder CNN models for automatic tracking of tongue contours in real-time ultrasound data.

Methods (San Diego, Calif.)
One application of medical ultrasound imaging is to visualize and characterize human tongue shape and motion in real-time to study healthy or impaired speech production. Due to the low-contrast characteristic and noisy nature of ultrasound images, it...

Multi-Task Joint Learning Model for Segmenting and Classifying Tongue Images Using a Deep Neural Network.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
Automatic tongue image segmentation and tongue image classification are two crucial tongue characterization tasks in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Due to the complexity of tongue segmentation and fine-grained traits of tongue image classificati...
