我们提出了一个数据收集和注释管道，该数据从越南放射学报告中提取信息，以提供胸部X射线（CXR）图像的准确标签。这可以通过注释与其特有诊断类别的数据相匹配，这些数据可能因国家而异。为了评估所提出的标签技术的功效，我们构建了一个包含9,752项研究的CXR数据集，并使用该数据集的子集评估了我们的管道。以F1得分为至少0.9923，评估表明，我们的标签工具在所有类别中都精确而始终如一。构建数据集后，我们训练深度学习模型，以利用从大型公共CXR数据集传输的知识。我们采用各种损失功能来克服不平衡的多标签数据集的诅咒，并使用各种模型体系结构进行实验，以选择提供最佳性能的诅咒。我们的最佳模型（CHEXPERT-FRECTER EDIDENENET-B2）的F1得分为0.6989（95％CI 0.6740，0.7240），AUC为0.7912，敏感性为0.7064，特异性为0.8760，普遍诊断为0.8760。最后，我们证明了我们的粗分类（基于五个特定的异常位置）在基准CHEXPERT数据集上获得了可比的结果（十二个病理），以进行一般异常检测，同时在所有类别的平均表现方面提供更好的性能。

无人驾驶汽车（UAV）在许多领域都受雇于摄影，紧急，娱乐，国防，农业，林业，采矿和建筑。在过去的十年中，无人机技术在许多施工项目阶段中找到了应用程序，从现场映射，进度监控，建筑物检查，损坏评估和材料交付等等。尽管已经对无人机在各种施工相关的过程中的优势进行了广泛的研究，但关于提高任务能力和效率的无人机协作的研究仍然很少。本文提出了一种基于塔格狩猎游戏和粒子群优化（PSO）的多个无人机的新合作路径计划算法。首先，定义了每个无人机的成本函数，并包含多个目标和约束。然后，开发了无人机游戏框架，以将多功能路径计划制定到寻找回报优势均衡的问题。接下来，提出了基于PSO的算法来获得无人机的最佳路径。由三个无人机检查的大型建筑工地的仿真结果表明，在检查任务期间，提出的算法在为无人机形成的可行和高效飞行路径生成可行，高效的飞行路径上的有效性。

最近的人工智能（AI）算法已在各种医学分类任务上实现了放射科医生级的性能。但是，只有少数研究涉及CXR扫描异常发现的定位，这对于向放射学家解释图像级分类至关重要。我们在本文中介绍了一个名为Vindr-CXR的可解释的深度学习系统，该系统可以将CXR扫描分类为多种胸部疾病，同时将大多数类型的关键发现本地化在图像上。 Vindr-CXR接受了51,485次CXR扫描的培训，并通过放射科医生提供的边界盒注释进行了培训。它表现出与经验丰富的放射科医生相当的表现，可以在3,000张CXR扫描的回顾性验证集上对6种常见的胸部疾病进行分类，而在接收器操作特征曲线（AUROC）下的平均面积为0.967（95％置信区间[CI]：0.958---------0.958------- 0.975）。 VINDR-CXR在独立患者队列中也得到了外部验证，并显示出其稳健性。对于具有14种类型病变的本地化任务，我们的自由响应接收器操作特征（FROC）分析表明，VINDR-CXR以每扫描确定的1.0假阳性病变的速率达到80.2％的敏感性。还进行了一项前瞻性研究，以衡量VINDR-CXR在协助六名经验丰富的放射科医生方面的临床影响。结果表明，当用作诊断工具时，提出的系统显着改善了放射科医生本身之间的一致性，平均Fleiss的Kappa的同意增加了1.5％。我们还观察到，在放射科医生咨询了Vindr-CXR的建议之后，在平均Cohen的Kappa中，它们和系统之间的一致性显着增加了3.3％。

表示技术的快速发展和大规模医学成像数据的可用性必须在3D医学图像分析中快速增加机器学习的使用。特别是，深度卷积神经网络（D-CNN）是关键参与者，并被医学成像界采用，以协助临床医生和医学专家进行疾病诊断。然而，培训深层神经网络，例如在高分辨率3D体积的计算机断层扫描（CT）扫描中进行诊断任务的D-CNN带来了强大的计算挑战。这提出了开发基于深度学习的方法，这些方法在2D图像中具有强大的学习表示形式，而是3D扫描。在本文中，我们提出了一种新的策略，以根据沿轴的相邻切片的描述来训练CT扫描上的\ emph {slice level}分类器。特别是，每一个都是通过卷积神经网络（CNN）提取的。该方法适用于具有每片标签的CT数据集，例如RSNA颅内出血（ICH）数据集，该数据集旨在预测ICH的存在并将其分类为5个不同的子类型。我们在RSNA ICH挑战的最佳4 \％最佳解决方案中获得了单个模型，其中允许模型集成。实验还表明，所提出的方法显着优于CQ500上的基线模型。所提出的方法是一般的，可以应用于其他3D医学诊断任务，例如MRI成像。为了鼓励该领域的新进步，我们将在接受论文后制定我们的代码和预培训模型。

高级深度学习（DL）算法可以预测患者基于乳房成像报告和数据系统（BI-RAD）和密度标准的患者发育乳腺癌的风险。最近的研究表明，多视图分析的结合改善了整体乳房考试分类。在本文中，我们提出了一种新的多视图DL方法，用于乳房X线照片的Bi-RAD和密度评估。所提出的方法首先部署深度卷积网络，用于分别对每个视图进行特征提取。然后将提取的特征堆叠并馈入光梯度升压机（LightGBM）分类器中以预测Bi-RAD和密度分数。我们对内部乳房数据集和公共数据集数字数据库进行广泛的实验，用于筛选乳房X线摄影（DDSM）。实验结果表明，所提出的方法在两个基准数据集中突出了巨大的边距（内部数据集5％，DDSM数据集10％）优于两个基准分类方法。这些结果突出了组合多视图信息来改善乳腺癌风险预测性能的重要作用。

雇用无人驾驶航空公司（无人机）吸引了日益增长的兴趣，并成为互联网（物联网）网络中的数据收集技术的最先进技术。在本文中，目的是最大限度地减少UAV-IOT系统的总能耗，我们制定了联合设计了UAV的轨迹和选择IOT网络中的群集头作为受约束的组合优化问题的问题，该问题被归类为NP-努力解决。我们提出了一种新的深度加强学习（DRL），其具有顺序模型策略，可以通过无监督方式有效地学习由UAV的轨迹设计来实现由序列到序列神经网络表示的策略。通过广泛的模拟，所获得的结果表明，与其他基线算法相比，所提出的DRL方法可以找到无人机的轨迹，这些轨迹需要更少的能量消耗，并实现近乎最佳性能。此外，仿真结果表明，我们所提出的DRL算法的训练模型具有出色的概括能力，对更大的问题尺寸而没有必要恢复模型。

Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of vision loss in the world, and early DR detection is necessary to prevent vision loss and support an appropriate treatment. In this work, we leverage interactive machine learning and introduce a joint learning framework, termed DRG-Net, to effectively learn both disease grading and multi-lesion segmentation. Our DRG-Net consists of two modules: (i) DRG-AI-System to classify DR Grading, localize lesion areas, and provide visual explanations; (ii) DRG-Expert-Interaction to receive feedback from user-expert and improve the DRG-AI-System. To deal with sparse data, we utilize transfer learning mechanisms to extract invariant feature representations by using Wasserstein distance and adversarial learning-based entropy minimization. Besides, we propose a novel attention strategy at both low- and high-level features to automatically select the most significant lesion information and provide explainable properties. In terms of human interaction, we further develop DRG-Net as a tool that enables expert users to correct the system's predictions, which may then be used to update the system as a whole. Moreover, thanks to the attention mechanism and loss functions constraint between lesion features and classification features, our approach can be robust given a certain level of noise in the feedback of users. We have benchmarked DRG-Net on the two largest DR datasets, i.e., IDRID and FGADR, and compared it to various state-of-the-art deep learning networks. In addition to outperforming other SOTA approaches, DRG-Net is effectively updated using user feedback, even in a weakly-supervised manner.

Research has shown that climate change creates warmer temperatures and drier conditions, leading to longer wildfire seasons and increased wildfire risks in the United States. These factors have in turn led to increases in the frequency, extent, and severity of wildfires in recent years. Given the danger posed by wildland fires to people, property, wildlife, and the environment, there is an urgency to provide tools for effective wildfire management. Early detection of wildfires is essential to minimizing potentially catastrophic destruction. In this paper, we present our work on integrating multiple data sources in SmokeyNet, a deep learning model using spatio-temporal information to detect smoke from wildland fires. Camera image data is integrated with weather sensor measurements and processed by SmokeyNet to create a multimodal wildland fire smoke detection system. We present our results comparing performance in terms of both accuracy and time-to-detection for multimodal data vs. a single data source. With a time-to-detection of only a few minutes, SmokeyNet can serve as an automated early notification system, providing a useful tool in the fight against destructive wildfires.

In the era of Internet of Things (IoT), network-wide anomaly detection is a crucial part of monitoring IoT networks due to the inherent security vulnerabilities of most IoT devices. Principal Components Analysis (PCA) has been proposed to separate network traffics into two disjoint subspaces corresponding to normal and malicious behaviors for anomaly detection. However, the privacy concerns and limitations of devices' computing resources compromise the practical effectiveness of PCA. We propose a federated PCA-based Grassmannian optimization framework that coordinates IoT devices to aggregate a joint profile of normal network behaviors for anomaly detection. First, we introduce a privacy-preserving federated PCA framework to simultaneously capture the profile of various IoT devices' traffic. Then, we investigate the alternating direction method of multipliers gradient-based learning on the Grassmann manifold to guarantee fast training and the absence of detecting latency using limited computational resources. Empirical results on the NSL-KDD dataset demonstrate that our method outperforms baseline approaches. Finally, we show that the Grassmann manifold algorithm is highly adapted for IoT anomaly detection, which permits drastically reducing the analysis time of the system. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first federated PCA algorithm for anomaly detection meeting the requirements of IoT networks.

The number of international benchmarking competitions is steadily increasing in various fields of machine learning (ML) research and practice. So far, however, little is known about the common practice as well as bottlenecks faced by the community in tackling the research questions posed. To shed light on the status quo of algorithm development in the specific field of biomedical imaging analysis, we designed an international survey that was issued to all participants of challenges conducted in conjunction with the IEEE ISBI 2021 and MICCAI 2021 conferences (80 competitions in total). The survey covered participants' expertise and working environments, their chosen strategies, as well as algorithm characteristics. A median of 72% challenge participants took part in the survey. According to our results, knowledge exchange was the primary incentive (70%) for participation, while the reception of prize money played only a minor role (16%). While a median of 80 working hours was spent on method development, a large portion of participants stated that they did not have enough time for method development (32%). 25% perceived the infrastructure to be a bottleneck. Overall, 94% of all solutions were deep learning-based. Of these, 84% were based on standard architectures. 43% of the respondents reported that the data samples (e.g., images) were too large to be processed at once. This was most commonly addressed by patch-based training (69%), downsampling (37%), and solving 3D analysis tasks as a series of 2D tasks. K-fold cross-validation on the training set was performed by only 37% of the participants and only 50% of the participants performed ensembling based on multiple identical models (61%) or heterogeneous models (39%). 48% of the respondents applied postprocessing steps.
