Simulation And Optimization Of A New Multi-Channel Contact Center System, Junxiang Li, Lichao Li, Kun Ma

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: In the actual operation of a contact center, it often encounters a large number of calls caused by an emergency. A traditional call center with a simple first-come-first-served queuing rule can hardly handle the rapid increase of calls properly. In this regard, without changing the number of seats, the call-back service channel for evacuating tasks and the special service channel for ensuring the service level are added. Considering customer abandonment, a new multi-channel queuing model for a contact center is built. This model is simulated by FlexSim software, and the results are comparatively analyzed. It is found that …

Representation Learning For Chemical Activity Predictions, Mohamed S. Ayed

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

Computational prediction of a phenotypic response upon the chemical perturbation on a biological system plays an important role in drug discovery and many other applications. Chemical fingerprints derived from chemical structures are a widely used feature to build machine learning models. However, the fingerprints ignore the biological context, thus, they suffer from several problems such as the activity cliff and curse of dimensionality. Fundamentally, the chemical modulation of biological activities is a multi-scale process. It is the genome-wide chemical-target interactions that modulate chemical phenotypic responses. Thus, the genome-scale chemical-target interaction profile will more directly correlate with in vitro and in …

Despite the introduction of vaccines, Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) remains a worldwide dilemma, continuously developing new variants such as Delta and the recent Omicron. The current standard for testing is through polymerase chain reaction (PCR). However, PCRs can be expensive, slow, and/or inaccessible to many people. X-rays on the other hand have been readily used since the early 20th century and are relatively cheaper, quicker to obtain, and typically covered by health insurance. With a careful selection of model, hyperparameters, and augmentations, we show that it is possible to develop models with 83% accuracy in binary classification and 64% in multi-class …

Deep Learning-Based Quality Assessment Of Clinical Protocol Adherence In Fetal Ultrasound Dating Scans, Sevim Cengiz, Mohammad Yaqub

Computer Vision Faculty Publications

To assess fetal health during pregnancy, doctors use the gestational age (GA) calculation based on the Crown Rump Length (CRL) measurement in order to check for fetal size and growth trajectory. However, GA estimation based on CRL, requires proper positioning of calipers on the fetal crown and rump view, which is not always an easy plane to find, especially for an inexperienced sonographer. Finding a slightly oblique view from the true CRL view could lead to a different CRL value and therefore incorrect estimation of GA. This study presents an AI-based method for a quality assessment of the CRL view …

Is Contrastive Learning Suitable For Left Ventricular Segmentation In Echocardiographic Images?, Mohamed Saeed, Rand Muhtaseb, Mohammad Yaqub Jan 2022

Is Contrastive Learning Suitable For Left Ventricular Segmentation In Echocardiographic Images?, Mohamed Saeed, Rand Muhtaseb, Mohammad Yaqub

Computer Vision Faculty Publications

Contrastive learning has proven useful in many applications where access to labelled data is limited. The lack of annotated data is particularly problematic in medical image segmenta-tion as it is difficult to have clinical experts manually annotate large volumes of data. One such task is the segmentation of cardiac structures in ultrasound images of the heart. In this paper, we argue whether or not contrastive pretraining is helpful for the segmentation of the left ventricle in echocardiography images. Furthermore, we study the effect of this on two segmentation networks, DeepLabV3, as well as the commonly used segmentation net-work, UNet. Our …

Glioblastoma is a common brain malignancy that tends to occur in older adults and is almost always lethal. The effectiveness of chemotherapy, being the standard treatment for most cancer types, can be improved if a particular genetic sequence in the tumor known as MGMT promoter is methylated. However, to identify the state of the MGMT promoter, the conventional approach is to perform a biopsy for genetic analysis, which is time and effort consuming. A couple of recent publications proposed a connection between the MGMT promoter state and the MRI scans of the tumor and hence suggested the use of deep …
