Neurological deterioration ranging from complete spinal cord injury (SCI) to incomplete SCI or single radiculopathy are potential consequences of the blunt trauma over this region. The subaxial cervical spine accounts the vast majority of cervical injuries, making up two thirds of all cervical fractures (Alday, 1996). Few classifications (Holdsworth, 1970; White et al., 1975; Mien et al., 1982; Denis, 1984; Vaccaro et al., 2007) have been proposed to describe injuries of the cervical spine for several reasons. First, to delineate the best treatment in each case; second, to determinate an accurate neurological prognosis, and third, to establish a standard way to communicate and describe specific characteristics of cervical injuries patterns. Classical systems are primarily descriptive and no single system has gained widespread use, largely because of restrictions in clinical relevance and its complexity.展开更多

In this study, we propose cross entropy as a performance evaluation metric for image classifier models and apply it to the CT image classification of lung cancer. A convolutional neural network is employed as the deep neural network (DNN) image classifier, with the residual network (ResNet) 50 chosen as the DNN archi-tecture. The image data used comprise a lung CT image set. Two classification models are built from datasets with varying amounts of data, and lung cancer is categorized into four classes using 10-fold cross-validation. Furthermore, we employ t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding to visually explain the data distribution after classification. Experimental results demonstrate that cross en-tropy is a highly useful metric for evaluating the reliability of image classifier models. It is noted that for a more comprehensive evaluation of model perfor-mance, combining with other evaluation metrics is considered essential. .展开更多

Dolphin whistles have typically been characterized in terms of their instantaneous frequency as a function of time, which is also known as "whistle contour". The frequency variation features of a whistle were extracted according to its contour. Then, the frequency variation features were used for learning grammatical patterns. A whistle was classified according to grammatical pattern of its frequency variation features. The exper- imental results showed that the classification accuracy of the proposed method was 95%. The method can provide technical support for acoustic study of dolphins' biological behavior.展开更多

With the aid of the signal processing and the learning of the computer, disfferent samples can be classifeid and recognized in a dimension reduction space of the characteristics because of the differences of their character -istics. To realize dimension reduction transformation, a nonlinear mapping method was discussed in this paper. To prove that the cluster analysis is suitable for quite different fields of samples, in this paper some ship noises and some EEG as the samples belong to two different fields are classified and shown. And it is worthy to point out that an adaptive step size expression of adaptive iteration deduced here will also be effective if it is applied to speed adaptive algorithm convergence of general signal processing.展开更多

文摘Indoor microorganisms impact asthma and allergic rhinitis(AR),but the associated microbial taxa often vary extensively due to climate and geographical variations.To provide more consistent environmental assessments,new perspectives on microbial exposure for asthma and AR are needed.Home dust from 97 cases(32 asthma alone,37 AR alone,28 comorbidity)and 52 age-and gender-matched controls in Shanghai,China,were analyzed using high-throughput shotgun metagenomic sequencing and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.Homes of healthy children were enriched with environmental microbes,including Paracoccus,Pseudomonas,and Psychrobacter,and metabolites like keto acids,indoles,pyridines,and flavonoids(astragalin,hesperidin)(False Discovery Rate<0.05).A neural network co-occurrence probability analysis revealed that environmental microorganisms were involved in producing these keto acids,indoles,and pyridines.Conversely,homes of diseased children were enriched with mycotoxins and synthetic chemicals,including herbicides,insecticides,and food/cosmetic additives.Using a random forest model,characteristic metabolites and microorganisms in Shanghai homes were used to classify high and low prevalence of asthma/AR in an independent dataset in Malaysian schools(N=1290).Indoor metabolites achieved an average accuracy of 74.9%and 77.1%in differentiating schools with high and low prevalence of asthma and AR,respectively,whereas indoor microorganisms only achieved 51.0%and 59.5%,respectively.These results suggest that indoor metabolites and chemicals rather than indoor microbiome are potentially superior environmental indicators for childhood asthma and AR.This study extends the traditional risk assessment focusing on allergens or air pollutants in childhood asthma and AR,thereby revealing potential novel intervention strategies for these diseases.

Two classification models are built from datasets with varying amounts of data, and lung cancer is categorized into four classes using 10-fold cross-validation. Furthermore, we employ t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding to visually explain the data distribution after classification. Experimental results demonstrate that cross en-tropy is a highly useful metric for evaluating the reliability of image classifier models. It is noted that for a more comprehensive evaluation of model perfor-mance, combining with other evaluation metrics is considered essential. .

文摘The way to deal with flexible data from their stochastic presence point of view as output or input in the evaluation of efficiency of the decision-making units(DMUs)motivates new perspectives in modeling and solving data envelopment analysis(DEA)in the presence of flexible variables.Because the orientation of flexible data is not pre-determined,and because the number of DMUs is fixed and all the DMUs are independent,flexible data can be treated as random variable in terms of both input and output selection.As a result,the selection of flexible variable as input or output for n DMUs can be regarded as binary random variable.Assuming the randomness of choosing flexible data as input or output,we deal with DEA models in the presence of flexible data whose input or output orientation determines a binomial distribution function.This study provides a new insight to classify flexible variable and investigates the input or output status of a variable using a stochastic model.The proposed model obviates the problems caused by the use of the large M number and using its different values in previous models.In addition,it can obtain the most appropriate efficiency value for decision-making units by assigning the chance of choosing the orientation of flexible variable to the model itself.The proposed method is compared with other available methods by employing numerical and empirical examples.

文摘A method based on syntactic pattern recognition was presented to automatically classify whistles of bottlenose dolphin. Dolphin whistles have typically been characterized in terms of their instantaneous frequency as a function of time, which is also known as "whistle contour". The frequency variation features of a whistle were extracted according to its contour. Then, the frequency variation features were used for learning grammatical patterns. A whistle was classified according to grammatical pattern of its frequency variation features. The exper- imental results showed that the classification accuracy of the proposed method was 95%. The method can provide technical support for acoustic study of dolphins' biological behavior.

文摘Cluster analysis is a method often used in pattern recognition. With the aid of the signal processing and the learning of the computer, disfferent samples can be classifeid and recognized in a dimension reduction space of the characteristics because of the differences of their character -istics. To realize dimension reduction transformation, a nonlinear mapping method was discussed in this paper. To prove that the cluster analysis is suitable for quite different fields of samples, in this paper some ship noises and some EEG as the samples belong to two different fields are classified and shown. And it is worthy to point out that an adaptive step size expression of adaptive iteration deduced here will also be effective if it is applied to speed adaptive algorithm convergence of general signal processing.
文摘Voice classification is important in creating more intelligent systems that help with student exams,identifying criminals,and security systems.The main aim of the research is to develop a system able to predicate and classify gender,age,and accent.So,a newsystem calledClassifyingVoice Gender,Age,and Accent(CVGAA)is proposed.Backpropagation and bagging algorithms are designed to improve voice recognition systems that incorporate sensory voice features such as rhythm-based features used to train the device to distinguish between the two gender categories.It has high precision compared to other algorithms used in this problem,as the adaptive backpropagation algorithm had an accuracy of 98%and the Bagging algorithm had an accuracy of 98.10%in the gender identification data.Bagging has the best accuracy among all algorithms,with 55.39%accuracy in the voice common dataset and age classification and accent accuracy in a speech accent of 78.94%.

文摘Subclassification of tumors based on molecular features may facilitate therapeutic choice and increase the response rate of cancer patients.However,the highly complex cell origin involved in osteosarcoma(OS)limits the utility of traditional bulk RNA sequencing for OS subclassification.Single-cell RNA sequencing(sc RNA-seq)holds great promise for identifying cell heterogeneity.However,this technique has rarely been used in the study of tumor subclassification.By analyzing sc RNA-seq data for six conventional OS and nine cancellous bone(CB)samples,we identified 29 clusters in OS and CB samples and discovered three differentiation trajectories from the cancer stem cell(CSC)-like subset,which allowed us to classify OS samples into three groups.The classification model was further examined using the TARGET dataset.Each subgroup of OS had different prognoses and possible drug sensitivities,and OS cells in the three differentiation branches showed distinct interactions with other clusters in the OS microenvironment.In addition,we verified the classification model through IHC staining in 138 OS samples,revealing a worse prognosis for Group B patients.Furthermore,we describe the novel transcriptional program of CSCs and highlight the activation of EZH2 in CSCs of OS.These findings provide a novel subclassification method based on sc RNA-seq and shed new light on the molecular features of CSCs in OS and may serve as valuable references for precision treatment for and therapeutic development in OS.
