Abstract Birds play a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance, making bird recognition technology a hot research topic. Traditional recognition methods have not achieved high accuracy in bird identification. This paper proposes an improved ResNet18 model to enhance the recognition rate of local bird species in Yunnan. First, a dataset containing five species of local birds in Yunnan was established: C. amherstiae, T. caboti, Syrmaticus humiae, Polyplectron bicalcaratum, and Pucrasia macrolopha. The improved ResNet18 model was then used to identify these species. This method replaces traditional convolution with depth wise separable convolution and introduces an SE (Squeeze and Excitation) module to More >

Abstract Considerable resources, technology, and efforts are being utilized worldwide to eradicate the coronavirus. Although certain measures taken to prevent the further spread of the disease have been successful, efforts to completely wipe out the coronavirus have been insufficient. Coronavirus patients have symptoms similar to those of chest Tuberculosis (TB) or pneumonia patients. Chest tuberculosis and coronavirus are similar because both diseases affect the lungs, cause coughing and produce an irregular respiratory system. Both diseases can be confirmed through X-ray imaging. It is a difficult task to diagnose COVID-19, as coronavirus testing kits are neither excessively… More >

Abstract For the problems of complex model structure and too many training parameters in facial expression recognition algorithms, we proposed a residual network structure with a multi-headed channel attention (MCA) module. The migration learning algorithm is used to pre-train the convolutional layer parameters and mitigate the overfitting caused by the insufficient number of training samples. The designed MCA module is integrated into the ResNet18 backbone network. The attention mechanism highlights important information and suppresses irrelevant information by assigning different coefficients or weights, and the multi-head structure focuses more on the local features of the pictures, which More >

Abstract Accurately, reliably and rapidly identifying intrinsically disordered (IDPs) proteins is essential as they often play important roles in various human diseases; moreover, they are related to numerous important biological activities. However, current computational methods have yet to develop a network that is sufficiently deep to make predictions about IDPs and demonstrate an improvement in performance. During this study, we constructed a deep neural network that consisted of five identical variant models, ResNet18, combined with an MLP network, for classification. Resnet18 was applied for the first time as a deep model for predicting IDPs, which allowed More >

Abstract Even though much advancements have been achieved with regards to the recognition of handwritten characters, researchers still face difficulties with the handwritten character recognition problem, especially with the advent of new datasets like the Extended Modified National Institute of Standards and Technology dataset (EMNIST). The EMNIST dataset represents a challenge for both machine-learning and deep-learning techniques due to inter-class similarity and intra-class variability. Inter-class similarity exists because of the similarity between the shapes of certain characters in the dataset. The presence of intra-class variability is mainly due to different shapes written by different writers for… More >

Abstract The latest studies with radiological imaging techniques indicate that X-ray images provide valuable details on the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The usage of sophisticated artificial intelligence technology (AI) and the radiological images can help in diagnosing the disease reliably and addressing the problem of the shortage of trained doctors in remote villages. In this research, the automated diagnosis of Coronavirus disease was performed using a dataset of X-ray images of patients with severe bacterial pneumonia, reported COVID-19 disease, and normal cases. The goal of the study is to analyze the achievements for medical image recognition… More >
