Computer Aided Diagnosis System For Breast Cancer Using Deep Learning., Asma Baccouche
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The recent rise of big data technology surrounding the electronic systems and developed toolkits gave birth to new promises for Artificial Intelligence (AI). With the continuous use of data-centric systems and machines in our lives, such as social media, surveys, emails, reports, etc., there is no doubt that data has gained the center of attention by scientists and motivated them to provide more decision-making and operational support systems across multiple domains. With the recent breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, the use of machine learning and deep learning models have achieved remarkable advances in computer vision, ecommerce, cybersecurity, and healthcare. Particularly, numerous …
Skincan Ai: A Deep Learning-Based Skin Cancer Classification And Segmentation Pipeline Designed Along With A Generative Model, Shivang Rana
Skincan Ai: A Deep Learning-Based Skin Cancer Classification And Segmentation Pipeline Designed Along With A Generative Model, Shivang Rana
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The rarity of Melanoma skin cancer accounts for the dataset collected to be limited and highly skewed, as benign moles can easily mimic the impression of the melanoma-affected area. Such an imbalanced dataset makes training any deep learning classifier network harder by affecting the training stability. We have an intuition that synthesizing such skin lesion medical images could help solve the issue of overfitting in training networks and assist in enforcing the anonymization of actual patients. Despite multiple previous attempts, none of the models were practical for the fast-paced clinical environment. In this thesis, we propose a novel pipeline named …
Smart Distributed Generation System Event Classification Using Recurrent Neural Network-Based Long Short-Term Memory, Shuva Das
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
High penetration of distributed generation (DG) sources into a decentralized power system causes several disturbances, making the monitoring and operation control of the system complicated. Moreover, because of being passive, modern DG systems are unable to detect and inform about these disturbances related to power quality in an intelligent approach. This paper proposed an intelligent and novel technique, capable of making real-time decisions on the occurrence of different DG events such as islanding, capacitor switching, unsymmetrical faults, load switching, and loss of parallel feeder and distinguishing these events from the normal mode of operation. This event classification technique was designed …

Receptive Fields Optimization In Deep Learning For Enhanced Interpretability, Diversity, And Resource Efficiency., Babajide Odunitan Ayinde
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In both supervised and unsupervised learning settings, deep neural networks (DNNs) are known to perform hierarchical and discriminative representation of data. They are capable of automatically extracting excellent hierarchy of features from raw data without the need for manual feature engineering. Over the past few years, the general trend has been that DNNs have grown deeper and larger, amounting to huge number of final parameters and highly nonlinear cascade of features, thus improving the flexibility and accuracy of resulting models. In order to account for the scale, diversity and the difficulty of data DNNs learn from, the architectural complexity and …
Distribution Level Building Load Prediction Using Deep Learning, Abdulaziz S. Almalaq
Distribution Level Building Load Prediction Using Deep Learning, Abdulaziz S. Almalaq
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Load prediction in distribution grids is an important means to improve energy supply scheduling, reduce the production cost, and support emission reduction. Determining accurate load predictions has become more crucial than ever as electrical load patterns are becoming increasingly complicated due to the versatility of the load profiles, the heterogeneity of individual load consumptions, and the variability of consumer-owned energy resources. However, despite the increase of smart grids technologies and energy conservation research, many challenges remain for accurate load prediction using existing methods. This dissertation investigates how to improve the accuracy of load predictions at the distribution level using artificial …
A Non-Invasive Diagnostic System For Early Assessment Of Acute Renal Transplant Rejection., Mohamed Nazih Mohamed Ibrahim Shehata
A Non-Invasive Diagnostic System For Early Assessment Of Acute Renal Transplant Rejection., Mohamed Nazih Mohamed Ibrahim Shehata
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Early diagnosis of acute renal transplant rejection (ARTR) is of immense importance for appropriate therapeutic treatment administration. Although the current diagnostic technique is based on renal biopsy, it is not preferred due to its invasiveness, recovery time (1-2 weeks), and potential for complications, e.g., bleeding and/or infection. In this thesis, a computer-aided diagnostic (CAD) system for early detection of ARTR from 4D (3D + b-value) diffusion-weighted (DW) MRI data is developed. The CAD process starts from a 3D B-spline-based data alignment (to handle local deviations due to breathing and heart beat) and kidney tissue segmentation with an evolving geometric (level-set-based) …
Learning Hierarchical Representations For Video Analysis Using Deep Learning, Yang Yang
Learning Hierarchical Representations For Video Analysis Using Deep Learning, Yang Yang
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
With the exponential growth of the digital data, video content analysis (e.g., action, event recognition) has been drawing increasing attention from computer vision researchers. Effective modeling of the objects, scenes, and motions is critical for visual understanding. Recently there has been a growing interest in the bio-inspired deep learning models, which has shown impressive results in speech and object recognition. The deep learning models are formed by the composition of multiple non-linear transformations of the data, with the goal of yielding more abstract and ultimately more useful representations. The advantages of the deep models are three fold: 1) They learn …
