چکیده

We present a deep learning framework for computer-aided lung cancer diagnosis. Our multi-stage framework detects nodules in 3D lung CAT scans, determines if each nodule is malignant, and €nally assigns a cancer probability based on these results. We discuss the challenges and advantages of our framework. In the Kaggle Data Science Bowl 2017, our framework ranked 41st out of 1972 teams.

Evaluate the Malignancy of Pulmonary Nodules Using the 3D Deep Leaky Noisy-or Network

Automatic diagnosing lung cancer from Computed Tomography (CT) scans involves two steps: detect all suspicious lesions (pulmonary nodules) and evaluate the wholelung/pulmonary malignancy. Currently, there are many studies about the first step, but few about the second step. Since the existence of nodule does not definitely indicate cancer, and the morphology of nodule has a complicated relation...

Multi-Task Deep Networks for Drug Target Prediction

An important computational tool in drug design is target prediction where either for a given chemical structure the interacting biomolecules (e.g. proteins) must be identified. Chemical structures interact with different biomolecules if they have similar 3D structure. Thus, the outputs of the prediction are highly interdependent from each other. Furthermore, we have partially labelled molecules...

Deep Learning as an Opportunity in Virtual Screening

Deep learning excels in vision and speech applications where it pushed the stateof-the-art to a new level. However its impact on other fields remains to be shown. The Merck Kaggle challenge on chemical compound activity was won by Hinton’s group with deep networks. This indicates the high potential of deep learning in drug design and attracted the attention of big pharma. However, the unrealist...

A multi-scale convolutional neural network for automatic cloud and cloud shadow detection from Gaofen-1 images

The reconstruction of the information contaminated by cloud and cloud shadow is an important step in pre-processing of high-resolution satellite images. The cloud and cloud shadow automatic segmentation could be the first step in the process of reconstructing the information contaminated by cloud and cloud shadow. This stage is a remarkable challenge due to the relatively inefficient performanc...
