AI Article Synopsis

  • Neural networks are intelligent learning systems that identify relationships among real-world object descriptors.
  • They are used as computational algorithms for optimization tasks like parameter estimation, model selection, and improving generalization.
  • In bioinformatics, supervised neural networks are crucial for tasks such as classification, function approximation, knowledge discovery, and data visualization.

Article Abstract

Neural networks are a class of intelligent learning machines establishing the relationships between descriptors of real-world objects. As optimisation tools they are also a class of computational algorithms implemented using statistical/numerical techniques for parameter estimate, model selection, and generalisation enhancement. In bioinformatics applications, neural networks have played an important role for classification, function approximation, knowledge discovery, and data visualisation. This chapter will focus on supervised neural networks and discuss their applications to bioinformatics.

Speech Technology for Automatic Recognition and Assessment of Dysarthric Speech: An Overview.

J Speech Lang Hear Res

January 2025

Centre for Language Studies, Radboud University, Nijmegen, the Netherlands.

Purpose: In this review article, we present an extensive overview of recent developments in the area of dysarthric speech research. One of the key objectives of speech technology research is to improve the quality of life of its users, as evidenced by the focus of current research trends on creating inclusive conversational interfaces that cater to pathological speech, out of which dysarthric speech is an important example. Applications of speech technology research for dysarthric speech demand a clear understanding of the acoustics of dysarthric speech as well as of speech technologies, including machine learning and deep neural networks for speech processing.

Intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS) and intracranial aneurysms are prevalent conditions in the cerebrovascular system. ICAS causes a narrowing of the arterial lumen, thereby restricting blood flow, while aneurysms involve the ballooning of blood vessels. Both conditions can lead to severe outcomes, such as stroke or vessel rupture, which can be fatal.

Background: Hemorrhagic transformation (HT) is a complication of reperfusion therapy following acute ischemic stroke (AIS). We aimed to develop and validate a model for predicting HT and its subtypes with poor prognosis-parenchymal hemorrhage (PH), including PH-1 (hematoma within infarcted tissue, occupying < 30%) and PH-2 (hematoma occupying ≥ 30% of the infarcted tissue)-in AIS patients following intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) based on noncontrast computed tomography (NCCT) and clinical data.

Methods: In this six-center retrospective study, clinical and imaging data from 445 consecutive IVT-treated AIS patients were collected (01/2018-06/2023).

Unlabelled: This study utilized deep learning for bone mineral density (BMD) prediction and classification using biplanar X-ray radiography (BPX) images from Huashan Hospital Medical Checkup Center. Results showed high accuracy and strong correlation with quantitative computed tomography (QCT) results. The proposed models offer potential for screening patients at a high risk of osteoporosis and reducing unnecessary radiation and costs.

Purpose To develop and evaluate a deep learning-based prognostic model for predicting survival in locoregionally- advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (LA-NPC) using serial MRI before and after induction chemotherapy (IC). Materials and Methods This multicenter retrospective study included 1039 LA-NPC patients (779 male, 260 female, mean age 44 [standard deviation: 11]) diagnosed between April 2009 and December 2015. A radiomics- clinical prognostic model (Model RC) was developed using pre-and post-IC MRI and other clinical factors using graph convolutional neural networks (GCN).
