ENet-21: An Optimized light CNN Structure for Lane Detection

Lane detection for autonomous vehicles is an important concept, yet it is a challenging issue of driver assistance systems in modern vehicles. The emergence of deep learning leads to significant progress in self-driving cars. Conventional deep learning-based methods handle lane detection problems as a binary segmentation task and determine whether a pixel belongs to a line. These methods rely on the assumption of a fixed number of lanes, which does not always work. This study aims to develop an optimal structure for the lane detection problem, offering a promising solution for driver assistance features in modern vehicles by utilizing a machine learning method consisting of binary segmentation and Affinity Fields that can manage varying numbers of lanes and lane change scenarios. In this approach, the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), is selected as a feature extractor, and the final output is obtained through clustering of the semantic segmentation and Affinity Field outputs. Our method uses less complex CNN architecture than existing ones. Experiments on the TuSimple dataset support the effectiveness of the proposed method.

COVID-19 Detection Based on Blood Test Parameters using Various Artificial Intelligence Methods

In 2019, the world faced a new challenge: a COVID-19 disease caused by the novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2. The virus rapidly spread across the globe, leading to a high rate of mortality, which prompted health organizations to take measures to control its transmission. Early disease detection is crucial in the treatment process, and computer-based automatic detection systems have been developed to aid in this effort. These systems often rely on artificial intelligence (AI) approaches such as machine learning, neural networks, fuzzy systems, and deep learning to classify diseases. This study aimed to differentiate COVID-19 patients from others using self-categorizing classifiers and employing various AI methods. This study used two datasets: the blood test samples and radiography images. The best results for the blood test samples obtained from San Raphael Hospital, which include two classes of individuals, those with COVID-19 and those with non-COVID diseases, were achieved through the use of the Ensemble method (a combination of a neural network and two machines learning methods). The results showed that this approach for COVID-19 diagnosis is cost-effective and provides results in a shorter amount of time than other methods. The proposed model achieved an accuracy of 94.09% on the dataset used. Secondly, the radiographic images were divided into four classes: normal, viral pneumonia, ground glass opacity, and COVID-19 infection. These were used for segmentation and classification. The lung lobes were extracted from the images and then categorized into specific classes. We achieved an accuracy of 91.1% on the image dataset. Generally, this study highlights the potential of AI in detecting and managing COVID-19 and underscores the importance of continued research and development in this field.

An overview of artificial intelligence techniques for diagnosis of Schizophrenia based on magnetic resonance imaging modalities: Methods, challenges, and future works

Schizophrenia (SZ) is a mental disorder that typically emerges in late adolescence or early adulthood. It reduces the life expectancy of patients by 15 years. Abnormal behavior, perception of emotions, social relationships, and reality perception are among its most significant symptoms. Past studies have revealed that SZ affects the temporal and anterior lobes of hippocampus regions of the brain. Also, increased volume of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and decreased volume of white and gray matter can be observed due to this disease. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the popular neuroimaging technique used to explore structural/functional brain abnormalities in SZ disorder, owing to its high spatial resolution. Various artificial intelligence (AI) techniques have been employed with advanced image/signal processing methods to accurately diagnose SZ. This paper presents a comprehensive overview of studies conducted on the automated diagnosis of SZ using MRI modalities. First, an AI-based computer aided-diagnosis system (CADS) for SZ diagnosis and its relevant sections are presented. Then, this section introduces the most important conventional machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) techniques in the diagnosis of diagnosing SZ. A comprehensive comparison is also made between ML and DL studies in the discussion section. In the following, the most important challenges in diagnosing SZ are addressed. Future works in diagnosing SZ using AI techniques and MRI modalities are recommended in another section. Results, conclusion, and research findings are also presented at the end.

A Novel Deep Learning Method for Textual Sentiment Analysis

Sentiment analysis is known as one of the most crucial tasks in the field of natural language processing and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is one of those prominent models that is commonly used for this aim. Although convolutional neural networks have obtained remarkable results in recent years, they are still confronted with some limitations. Firstly, they consider that all words in a sentence have equal contributions in the sentence meaning representation and are not able to extract informative words. Secondly, they require a large number of training data to obtain considerable results while they have many parameters that must be accurately adjusted. To this end, a convolutional neural network integrated with a hierarchical attention layer is proposed which is able to extract informative words and assign them higher weight. Moreover, the effect of transfer learning that transfers knowledge learned in the source domain to the target domain with the aim of improving the performance is also explored. Based on the empirical results, the proposed model not only has higher classification accuracy and can extract informative words but also applying incremental transfer learning can significantly enhance the classification performance.

Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Extended Kalman Filtering for Robot Localization

Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) has been a popular approach to localization a mobile robot. However, the performance of the EKF and the quality of the estimation depends on the correct a priori knowledge of process and measurement noise covariance matrices (Qk and Rk, respectively). Imprecise knowledge of these statistics can cause significant degradation in performance. This paper proposed the development of an Adaptive Neuro- Fuzzy Extended Kalman Filtering (ANFEKF) for localization of robot. The Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy attempts to estimate the elements of Qk and Rk matrices of the EKF algorithm, at each sampling instant when measurement update step is carried out. The ANFIS supervises the performance of the EKF with the aim of reducing the mismatch between the theoretical and actual covariance of the innovation sequences. The free parameters of ANFIS are trained using the steepest gradient descent (SD) to minimize the differences of the actual value of the covariance of the residual with its theoretical value as much possible. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
