Uncertainty estimation is an efficient solution to this problem, as it provides a measure of confidence in the segmentation results. The current uncertainty estimation methods based on quantile regression, Bayesian neural network, ensemble, and Monte Carlo dropout are limited by their high computational cost and inconsistency. In order to overcome these challenges, Evidential Deep Learning (EDL) was developed in recent work but primarily for natural image classification and showed inferior segmentation results. In this paper, we proposed a region-based EDL segmentation framework that can generate reliable uncertainty maps and accurate segmentation results, which is robust to noise and image corruption. We used the Theory of Evidence to interpret the output of a neural network as evidence values gathered from input features. Following Subjective Logic, evidence was parameterized as a Dirichlet distribution, and predicted probabilities were treated as subjective opinions. To evaluate the performance of our model on segmentation and uncertainty estimation, we conducted quantitative and qualitative experiments on the BraTS 2020 dataset. The results demonstrated the top performance of the proposed method in quantifying segmentation uncertainty and robustly segmenting tumors. Furthermore, our proposed new framework maintained the advantages of low computational cost and easy implementation and showed the potential for clinical application.</p>","PeriodicalId":49766,"journal":{"name":"Neural Computing & Applications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10505106/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10309470","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is used to reduce feature size and increase model generalization. In addition to minimizing feature dimensionality, it also enhances classification accuracy and reduces model complexity, which are essential in several applications. Traditional methods for feature selection often fail in the optimal global solution due to the large search space. Many hybrid techniques have been proposed depending on merging several search strategies which have been used individually as a solution to the FS problem. This study proposes a modified hunger games search algorithm (mHGS), for solving optimization and FS problems. The main advantages of the proposed mHGS are to resolve the following drawbacks that have been raised in the original HGS; (1) avoiding the local search, (2) solving the problem of premature convergence, and (3) balancing between the exploitation and exploration phases. The mHGS has been evaluated by using the IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation 2020 (CEC'20) for optimization test and ten medical and chemical datasets. The data have dimensions up to 20000 features or more. The results of the proposed algorithm have been compared to a variety of well-known optimization methods, including improved multi-operator differential evolution algorithm (IMODE), gravitational search algorithm, grey wolf optimization, Harris Hawks optimization, whale optimization algorithm, slime mould algorithm and hunger search games search. The experimental results suggest that the proposed mHGS can generate effective search results without increasing the computational cost and improving the convergence speed.

Inspired by ground glass opacity, a common finding in COIVD-19 patient's CT scans, we proposed in this paper a novel self-supervised pretraining method based on pseudo-lesion generation and restoration for COVID-19 diagnosis. We used Perlin noise, a gradient noise based mathematical model, to generate lesion-like patterns, which were then randomly pasted to the lung regions of normal CT images to generate pseudo-COVID-19 images. The pairs of normal and pseudo-COVID-19 images were then used to train an encoder-decoder architecture-based U-Net for image restoration, which does not require any labeled data. The pretrained encoder was then fine-tuned using labeled data for COVID-19 diagnosis task. Two public COVID-19 diagnosis datasets made up of CT images were employed for evaluation. Comprehensive experimental results demonstrated that the proposed self-supervised learning approach could extract better feature representation for COVID-19 diagnosis, and the accuracy of the proposed method outperformed the supervised model pretrained on large-scale images by 6.57% and 3.03% on SARS-CoV-2 dataset and Jinan COVID-19 dataset, respectively.</p>","PeriodicalId":49766,"journal":{"name":"Neural Computing & Applications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10038387/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9439693","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
