Article Abstract

Liquid-based cytology (LBC) for cervical cancer screening is now more common than the conventional smears, which when digitised from glass slides into whole-slide images (WSIs), opens up the possibility of artificial intelligence (AI)-based automated image analysis. Since conventional screening processes by cytoscreeners and cytopathologists using microscopes is limited in terms of human resources, it is important to develop new computational techniques that can automatically and rapidly diagnose a large amount of specimens without delay, which would be of great benefit for clinical laboratories and hospitals. The goal of this study was to investigate the use of a deep learning model for the classification of WSIs of LBC specimens into neoplastic and non-neoplastic. To do so, we used a dataset of 1605 cervical WSIs. We evaluated the model on three test sets with a combined total of 1468 WSIs, achieving ROC AUCs for WSI diagnosis in the range of 0.89-0.96, demonstrating the promising potential use of such models for aiding screening processes.

The scattering of tiny particles in the atmosphere causes a haze effect on remote sensing images captured by satellites and similar devices, significantly disrupting subsequent image recognition and classification. A generative adversarial network named TRPC-GAN with texture recovery and physical constraints is proposed to mitigate this impact. This network not only effectively removes haze but also better preserves the texture information of the original remote sensing image, thereby enhancing the visual quality of the dehazed image.

This study aimed to explore a deep learning radiomics (DLR) model based on grayscale ultrasound images to assist radiologists in distinguishing between benign breast lesions (BBL) and malignant breast lesions (MBL). A total of 382 patients with breast lesions were included, comprising 183 benign lesions and 199 malignant lesions that were collected and confirmed through clinical pathology or biopsy. The enrolled patients were randomly allocated into two groups: a training cohort and an independent test cohort, maintaining a ratio of 7:3.

Failure to predict stroke promptly may lead to delayed treatment, causing severe consequences like permanent neurological damage or death. Early detection using deep learning (DL) and machine learning (ML) models can enhance patient outcomes and mitigate the long-term effects of strokes. The aim of this study is to compare these models, exploring their efficacy in predicting stroke.

The study aims to address the critical issue of toxic side effects resulting from drug combinations, which can significantly increase health risks, clinical complications, and lead to drug being withdrawn from the market. A model named TSEDDI (toxic side effects of drug-drug interaction) has been developed to improve the identification of drug pairs that may induce toxicity or adverse reactions. By utilizing drug chemical structures and diverse proteins, we employ a convolutional neural network (CNN) to extract features from molecular images, enzyme proteins, transporter proteins, and target proteins.

Lithofacies classification and identification are of great significance in the exploration and evaluation of tight sandstone reservoirs. Existing methods of lithofacies identification in tight sandstone reservoirs face issues such as lengthy manual classification, strong subjectivity of identification, and insufficient sample datasets, which make it challenging to analyze the lithofacies characteristics of these reservoirs during oil and gas exploration. In this paper, the Fuyu oil formation in the Songliao Basin is selected as the target area, and an intelligent method for recognizing the lithophysics reservoirs in tight sandstone based on hybrid multilayer perceptron (MLP) and multivariate time series (MTS-Mixers) is proposed.
