Fast and reliable diagnosis based on technological tools can support medical professionals to manage this bottleneck situation, such as the diagnostic based on image techniques, which allows non-intrusive procedures. In this paper, we propose a practical methodology using deep learning to detect and classify lungs affected by COVID-19 using Chest X-ray radiography. RetinaNet architecture is considered here. This architecture is an one-stage object detection using focal loss often applied with dense, small and imbalance objects. We consider a dataset with 2500 images for model training and 1000 images to validate the model. Besides, a set of 1000 images from two different datasets are applied to test the pipeline approach. The obtained results show a specificity score of 0.54, precision of 0.68, recall of 0.994, and mAP of 0.913. The high recall score explains that a patient with COVID-19 will be classified correctly.","PeriodicalId":431041,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Latin American Conference on Computational Intelligence (LA-CCI)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132013382","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A space parameter allows to define the number of synthetic items to be generated, with this is possible to enlarge the original time series and improve the precision of the regression models.

However, this type of data is difficult to analyze due to its complexity, and sometimes it is impossible to make a correct labeling. To address this problem, advanced data analysis techniques such as machine learning (ML) methods can be applied. This research proposes a methodology to classify mass spectrometry (MS) data applying a semi-supervised learning (SSL) approach called self-training. This type of learning uses labeled and unlabeled data simultaneously in the training process to alleviate the scarcity of data labels. To demonstrate the efficiency of this proposal, MS data of healthy salmon infected with the pathogen Piscirickettsia salmonis was analyzed. Experimental results showed that self-training with random forest performs appropriately, achieving an accuracy of 0.9. Furthermore, feature selection allows the identification of seven potential biomarkers that define healthy and sick salmon profiles accurately.","PeriodicalId":431041,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Latin American Conference on Computational Intelligence (LA-CCI)","volume":"163 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122655988","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Vista Variable in the Via Lactea (VVV) survey aims to understand how our galaxy was formed and finding large quantities of RR Lyrae is key to accomplish this. In this work we evaluate convolutional neural networks for the automatic classification of RR Lyrae using a subset of the light curves of the VVV survey. To address the differences in length between light curves we compare padding, partial-convolution and subsampling based strategies. The experiments show that the best test-set results are achieved using conventional convolutional layers with a global max pooling operator over zero-padded light curves. Future work includes testing with continuous-time convolutions, exploring synergies with feature-based models and evaluating on more classes of periodic variable star.","PeriodicalId":431041,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Latin American Conference on Computational Intelligence (LA-CCI)","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123628094","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We performed our experiments with a real dataset containing multiple process logs from a Brazilian justice system. We generated non-process graphs with Barabási, Duplication-Divergence, Erdõs-Rényi, Gaussian Random Partition, and Newman Watts Strogatz generators. Our results suggest that the metrics used are highly efficient to distinguish among the analysed graphs. The process graphs presented particular characteristics such as higher clustering coefficient and lower assortativity than non-process graphs.

Nevertheless, it is an important stage for vulcanological monitoring because it can locate the origin of the seismic event and obtain physical parameters crucial to forecast the state of a volcano’s activity. In general, this process is done manually by analysts in volcano observatories; however, due to the large number of volcanos monitored by the Observatorio Vulcanológico de los Andes Sur (OVDAS) in Chile, it must be automated.
