This study conducts a benchmarking study, comparing 23 different statistical and machine learning methods in a credit scoring application. In order to do so, the models' performance is evaluated over four different data sets in combination…
Malaria is mosquito-borne blood disease caused by parasites of the genus Plasmodium. Conventional diagnostic tool for malaria is the examination of stained blood cell of patient in microscope. The blood to be tested is placed in a slide and…
Plasma is defined as the fourth state of matter and non-thermal plasma can be produced at atmospheric pressure under a high electrical field. The strong and broad-spectrum antimicrobial effect of plasma-activated liquids (PALs) is now well…
This paper shows the machine learning system which performs instance segmentation of cytological images in veterinary medicine. Eleven cell types were used directly and indirectly in the experiments, including damaged and unrecognized…
We study the early stages of viral infection, and the distribution of times to obtain a persistent infection. The virus population proliferates by entering and reproducing inside a target cell until a sufficient number of new virus…
This article presents the results of the research carried out on the development of a medical diagnostic system applied to the Acute Bacterial Meningitis, using the Case Based Reasoning methodology. The research was focused on the…
Red blood cells are highly deformable and present in various shapes. In blood cell disorders, only a subset of all cells is morphologically altered and relevant for the diagnosis. However, manually labeling of all cells is laborious,…
Rapidly assaying the diversity of a bacterial species present in a sample obtained from a hospital patient or an evironmental source has become possible after recent technological advances in DNA sequencing. For several applications it is…
Human blood primarily comprises plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. It plays a vital role in transporting nutrients to different organs, where it stores essential health-related data about the human body. Blood cells…
We present an application of the well-known Mask R-CNN approach to the counting of different types of bacterial colony forming units that were cultured in Petri dishes. Our model was made available to lab technicians in a modern SPA…
Chronic diseases are long-lasting conditions that require lifelong medical attention. Using big EMR data, we have developed early disease risk prediction models for five common chronic diseases: diabetes, hypertension, CKD, COPD, and…
During an infectious disease pandemic, it is critical to share electronic medical records or models (learned from these records) across regions. Applying one region's data/model to another region often have distribution shift issues that…
Active learning for classification seeks to reduce the cost of labeling samples by finding unlabeled examples about which the current model is least certain and sending them to an annotator/expert to label. Bayesian theory can provide a…
Toward robust malware detection, we explore the attack surface of existing malware detection systems. We conduct root-cause analyses of the practical binary-level black-box adversarial malware examples. Additionally, we uncover the…
Virus-like particles (VLPs) are valuable for vaccine development due to their immune-triggering properties. Understanding their stoichiometry, the number of protein subunits to form a VLP, is critical for vaccine optimisation. However,…
Standardized body region labelling of individual images provides data that can improve human and computer use of medical images. A CNN-based classifier was developed to identify body regions in CT and MRI. 17 CT (18 MRI) body regions…
The identification of essential proteins in protein-protein interaction networks (PINs) can help to discover drug targets and prevent disease. In order to improve the accuracy of the identification of essential proteins, researchers…
The immune response to an acute primary infection is a coupled process of antigen proliferation, molecular recognition by naive B cells, and their subsequent proliferation and antibody shedding. This process contains a fundamental problem:…
The presence of bacteria or fungi in the bloodstream of patients is abnormal and can lead to life-threatening conditions. A computational model based on a bidirectional long short-term memory artificial neural network, is explored to assist…
Automatic classification of skin disease plays an important role in healthcare especially in dermatology. Dermatologists can determine different skin diseases with the help of an android device and with the use of Artificial Intelligence.…
