Modeling the Intra-class Variability for Liver Lesion Detection Using a Multi-class Patch-Based CNN

چکیده
Automatic detection of liver lesions in CT images poses a great challenge for researchers. In this work we present a deep learning approach that models explicitly the variability within the non-lesion class ,based on prior knowledge of the data, to support an automated lesion detection system. A multi-class convolutional neural network (CNN) is proposed to categorize input image patches into sub-categories of boundary and interior patches, the decisions of which are fused to reach a binary lesion vs non-lesion decision. For validation of our system, we use CT images of 132 livers and 498 lesions. Our approach shows highly improved detection results that outperform the state-of-the-art fully convolutional network. Automated computerized tools, as shown in this work, have the potential in the future to support the radiologists towards improved detection.

Feature-based Malicious URL and Attack Type Detection Using Multi-class Classification
Nowadays, malicious URLs are the common threat to the businesses, social networks, net-banking etc. Existing approaches have focused on binary detection i.e. either the URL is malicious or benign. Very few literature is found which focused on the detection of malicious URLs and their attack types. Hence, it becomes necessary to know the attack type and adopt an effective countermeasure. This pa...
متن کاملUnderstanding Intra-Class Knowledge Inside CNN
Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) has been successful in image recognition tasks, and recent works shed lights on how CNN separates different classes with the learned inter-class knowledge through visualization [8, 10, 13]. In this work, we instead visualize the intra-class knowledge inside CNN to better understand how an object class is represented in the fully-connected layers. To invert the...

Extracting, harvesting and building large-scale annotated radiological image datasets is a greatly important yet challenging problem. It is also the bottleneck to designing more effective data-hungry computing paradigms (e.g., deep learning) for medical image analysis. Yet, vast amounts of clinical annotations (usually associated with disease image findings and marked using arrows, lines, lesio...
متن کاملDetection of Fake Accounts in Social Networks Based on One Class Classification
Detection of fake accounts on social networks is a challenging process. The previous methods in identification of fake accounts have not considered the strength of the users’ communications, hence reducing their efficiency. In this work, we are going to present a detection method based on the users’ similarities considering the network communications of the users. In the first step, similarity ...
