MRI-Based Brain Tumor Instance Segmentation Using Mask R-CNN

2024-10-01T11:55:04+08:00

Brain tumor segmentation is a crucial step in medical image analysis for the accurate diagnosis and treatment of patients. Traditional methods for tumor segmentation often require extensive manual effort and are prone to variability. In this study, we propose an automated approach for brain tumor segmentation using Mask R-CNN, a state-of-the-art deep learning model for instance segmentation. Our method leverages MRI images to identify and delineate brain tumors with high precision. We trained the Mask R-CNN model on a dataset of annotated MRI images and evaluated its performance using the mean Average Precision (mAP) metric. The results demonstrate that our model achieves a high mAP of 90.3%, indicating its effectiveness in accurately segmenting brain tumors. This automated approach not only reduces the manual effort required for tumor segmentation but also provides consistent and reliable results, potentially improving clinical outcomes.

2024-10-01T11:55:07+08:00

Obesity is defined as excessive fat accumulation and abnormal accumulation of adipose tissue in the human body that poses health risks. The causes of obesity are multifactorial and include environmental and individual factors. Several factors that cause obesity include genetic, behavioral and environmental factors. Obesity causes various problems in various fields, including health, employment, demographics, economics and family. The problem of obesity has a significant impact on public health. Therefore, understanding and predicting the level of obesity risk is important in efforts to prevent and treat obesity risk. Data on eating habits, physical activity, and other factors associated with obesity levels in certain populations can provide an important basis for understanding obesity risk. This research clusters the risk of obesity to find hidden patterns in the data. The stages in this research consist of pre-processing, clustering, and analysis. The clustering methods used are K-means and DBSCAN. In clustering using the K-means method with a parameter value of k , results are obtained with the same pattern as clustering using the DBSCAN method with a parameter value of epsilon and a minimum sample . In clustering using the K-means method with a parameter value of k , Four clusters were formed which had different patterns. The clustering results obtained in this research can be used as an effort to prevent and treat the risk of obesity.

2024-10-01T11:55:13+08:00

The spread of fake news in the digital age threatens the integrity of online information, influences public opinion, and creates confusion. This study developed and tested a fake news detection model using an enhanced CNN-BiLSTM architecture with GloVe word embedding techniques. The WELFake dataset comprising 72,000 samples was used, with training and testing data ratios of 90:10, 80:20, and 70:30. Preprocessing involved GloVe 100-dimensional word embedding, tokenization, and stopword removal. The CNN-BiLSTM model was optimized with hyperparameter tuning, achieving an accuracy of 96%. A larger training data ratio demonstrated better performance. Results indicate the effectiveness of this model in distinguishing fake news from real news. This study shows that the CNN-BiLSTM architecture with GloVe embedding can achieve high accuracy in fake news detection, with recommendations for further research to explore preprocessing techniques and alternative model architectures for further improvement.

The study aims to improve the diagnosis, management, and prevention of HIV/AIDS by using classification algorithms. The dataset used consists of 707,379 records and 89 columns. Data preprocessing includes removing irrelevant attributes, handling inconsistencies, and balancing the data using the NearMiss method, resulting in a balanced proportion of reactive and non-reactive HIV cases. Once the data is balanced, it is split into several ratios: 60:40, 70:30, 80:20, and 90:10. The classification models used in this study are Naive Bayes and SVM. The models are evaluated using the metrics Accuracy, Precision, Recall, and F1-Score. The results show that the SVM model achieves the highest accuracy of 82.6% with a 90:10 data split at a 6-fold value, and 82.2% with a 60:40 data split at a 5-fold value. On the other hand, Naive Bayes achieves the highest accuracy of 61.1% with a 60:40 data split.

The Eye and Nose Identification Chip Controller-Based on Robot Vision Using Weightless Neural Network Method

2024-10-01T11:55:22+08:00

Increasingly advanced image analysis in computer vision, allowing computers to interpret, identify, and analyze pictures with accuracy comparable to humans. The availability of data sources in decimal, hexadecimal, or binary forms enables researchers to take the initiative in applying their study findings. Decimal formats are typically used on traditional computers like desktops and minicomputers, whereas hexadecimal and binary formats were utilized on single-chip controllers. Weightless Neural Network is a method that can be implemented in a single chip controller. The aim of this research is to develop a facial recognition system, for eye and mouth identification, that works in a single chip controller or also called a microcontroller. The suggested method is a Weightless Neural Network with Immediate Scan approach for processing and identifying eye and nose patterns. The data will be handled in many memory locations that are specifically designed to handle massive volumes of data. The data is made up of primary face data sheets and face input data. The data sets utilized are (x,y) pixels, and frame sizes range from 90x90 pixels to 110x110 pixels. Each face shot will be processed by selecting the region of the eyes and nose and saving it as an image file. The eye and nose will identify the face frame. Next, the photos will be converted to binary format. A magazine matrix will be used to transmit binary data from a minicomputer to a microcontroller via serial connection. Based on a known pattern, the resultant similarity accuracy is 83,08% for the eye and 84,09% for the sternum. In contrast, the similarity percentage for an eye ranges from 70% to 85% for an undefined pattern.

The Turbofan Engine Remaining Useful Life Prediction Using 1-Dimentional Convolutional Neural Network

2024-10-01T11:55:28+08:00

Turbofan engines have been the dominant type of engine in aircraft for the last forty years. Ensuring the quality of these engines is crucial for flight safety, particularly for long-distance flights. However, their performance degrades over time, impacting flight safety. To address this issue, it is essential to predict potential engine failures by estimating the Remaining Useful Life (RUL) of the engines Deep learning, especially Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), has demonstrated exceptional proficiency in handling intricate, non-linear data, leading to improved RUL predictionsdue to their ability to process complex and non-linear data. In this project, a 1-D CNN is used to predict RUL using the NASA C-MAPSS FD001 dataset, which consists of 3 settings and 21 sensors, though sensors with stagnant readings are excluded. The dataset is normalized using min-max and z-score methods, and then segmented into sequences for input into the 1-D CNN model. Various training scenarios were evaluated, with the best RMSE of 3.26 achieved using 10 epochs, a learning rate of 0.0001, and z-score normalization. The results indicate that feature selection can produce a lower RMSE compared to scenarios without feature selection.
