Abstract Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative condition marked by decline in cognitive functions with no validated modifying treatment. It critical for timely treatment to detect AD its earlier stage before clinical manifestation. Mild impairment (MCI) an intermediate between cognitively normal older adults and AD. To predict conversion from MCI probable AD, we applied deep learning approach, multimodal recurrent neural network. We developed integrative framework that...

Brain age estimation from anatomical features has been attracting more attention in recent years. This interest brain is motivated by the importance of biological prediction health informatics, with an application to early neurocognitive disorders. It well-known that normal aging follows a specific pattern, which enables researchers and practitioners predict human's its degeneration. In this paper, we model predicted cortical thickness data gathered large cohort images. We collected 2,911...

Recent progress in deep learning-based models has improved photo-realistic (or perceptual) single-image super-resolution significantly. However, despite their powerful performance, many methods are difficult to apply real-world applications because of the heavy computational requirements. To facilitate use a model under such demands, we focus on keeping network efficient while maintaining its performance. In detail, design an architecture that implements cascading mechanism residual boost...

Image distortion classification and detection is an important task in many applications. For example when compressing images, if we know the exact location of distortion, then it possible to re-compress images by adjusting local compression level dynamically. In this paper, address problem detecting region classifying type a given image. We show that our model significantly outperforms state-of-the-art classifier, report accurate results for first time. expect such prove usefulness approach...

Investigators have studied the treatment effects on human health or disease, microbiome, and roles of microbiome disease. Especially, in a clinical trial, investigators commonly trace disease status over lengthy period to survey sequential progression for different groups (e.g., versus placebo, new old treatment). Hence, responses are often available form survival (i.e., time-to-event) stratified by groups. While recent web cloud platforms enabled user-friendly data processing analytics,...

We propose a novel method for identifying and classifying motions that offers significantly reduced computational cost as compared to deep convolutional neural network systems with comparable performance. Our new approach is inspired by the information processing architecture of biological visual systems, whereby spatial pyramid kernel features are efficiently extracted in real-time from temporally-differentiated image data. In this paper, we describe evaluate its performance hand motion...

Accessing medical data from multiple institutions is difficult owing to the interinstitutional diversity of vocabularies. Standardization schemes, such as common model, have been proposed solutions this problem, but schemes require expensive human supervision. This study aims construct a trainable system that can automate process semantic code mapping.To mapping between source and target codes, we compute embedding-based similarity corresponding descriptive sentences. We also implement...

It has become common practice now to use random initialization schemes, rather than the pre-trained embeddings, when training transformer based models from scratch. Indeed, we find that word embeddings GloVe, and some sub-word extracted language such as T5 mT5 fare much worse compared initialization. This is counter-intuitive given well-known representational transfer-learning advantages of pre-training. Interestingly, also BERT mBERT better initialization, showing representations. In this...

Unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) have emerged as a promising solution for reconnaissance missions, overcoming labor cost, frequency, and subjectivity issues associated with manual procedures. However, dynamic environments such construction sites, the constantly changing conditions hinder manager from planning UGV’s paths. For an autonomous monitoring mission, path should be dealt by having map site’s most recent scene. In this study, we develop mobile app capable of local updates overlaying...
