AI Article Synopsis

  • * The CNN consisted of multiple convolutional and residual layers, implemented with dropout and L2 normalization, and trained using the Adam optimizer, achieving a diagnostic accuracy of 72.5% in classifying patients based on their chemotherapy response.
  • * Results showed that the model provided a reasonable prediction capability, making it feasible to utilize CNN algorithms for predicting NAC response across multiple institutions in breast cancer patients.

Article Abstract

Purpose: To apply our convolutional neural network (CNN) algorithm to predict neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) response using the I-SPY TRIAL breast MRI dataset.

Methods: From the I-SPY TRIAL breast MRI database, 131 patients from 9 institutions were successfully downloaded for analysis. First post-contrast MRI images were used for 3D segmentation using 3D slicer. Our CNN was implemented entirely of 3 × 3 convolutional kernels and linear layers. The convolutional kernels consisted of 6 residual layers, totaling 12 convolutional layers. Dropout with a 0.5 keep probability and L2 normalization was utilized. Training was implemented by using the Adam optimizer. A 5-fold cross validation was used for performance evaluation. Software code was written in Python using the TensorFlow module on a Linux workstation with one NVidia Titan X GPU.

Results: Of 131 patients, 40 patients achieved pCR following NAC (group 1) and 91 patients did not achieve pCR following NAC (group 2). Diagnostic accuracy of our CNN two classification model distinguishing patients with pCR vs non-pCR was 72.5 (SD ± 8.4), with sensitivity 65.5% (SD ± 28.1) and specificity of 78.9% (SD ± 15.2). The area under a ROC Curve (AUC) was 0.72 (SD ± 0.08).

Conclusion: It is feasible to use our CNN algorithm to predict NAC response in patients using a multi-institution dataset.

Facial expression recognition faces great challenges due to factors such as face similarity, image quality, and age variation. Although various existing end-to-end Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architectures have achieved good classification results in facial expression recognition tasks, these network architectures share a common drawback that the convolutional kernel can only compute the correlation between elements of a localized region when extracting expression features from an image. This leads to difficulties for the network to explore the relationship between all the elements that make up a complete expression.
