Article Abstract

Background: As of Feb 27, 2022, coronavirus (COVID-19) has caused 434,888,591 infections and 5,958,849 deaths worldwide, dealing a severe blow to the economies and cultures of most countries around the world. As the virus has mutated, its infectious capacity has further increased. Effective diagnosis of suspected cases is an important tool to stop the spread of the pandemic. Therefore, we intended to develop a computer-aided diagnosis system for the diagnosis of suspected cases.

Methods: To address the shortcomings of commonly used pre-training methods and exploit the information in unlabeled images, we proposed a new pre-training method based on transfer learning with self-supervised learning (TS). After that, a new convolutional neural network based on attention mechanism and deep residual network (RANet) was proposed to extract features. Based on this, a hybrid ensemble model (TSRNet) was proposed for classifying lung CT images of suspected patients as COVID-19 and normal.

Results: Compared with the existing five models in terms of accuracy (DarkCOVIDNet: 98.08%; Deep-COVID: 97.58%; NAGNN: 97.86%; COVID-ResNet: 97.78%; Patch-based CNN: 88.90%), TSRNet has the highest accuracy of 99.80%. In addition, the recall, f1-score, and AUC of the model reached 99.59%, 99.78%, and 1, respectively.

Conclusion: TSRNet can effectively diagnose suspected COVID-19 cases with the help of the information in unlabeled and labeled images, thus helping physicians to adopt early treatment plans for confirmed cases.

Spatial transcriptomics allows for the measurement of gene expression within the native tissue context. However, despite technological advancements, computational methods to link cell states with their microenvironment and compare these relationships across samples and conditions remain limited. To address this, we introduce Tissue Motif-Based Spatial Inference across Conditions (TissueMosaic), a self-supervised convolutional neural network designed to discover and represent tissue architectural motifs from multi-sample spatial transcriptomic datasets.

Self-supervised representation learning with continuous training data improves the feel and performance of myoelectric control.

Pattern recognition-based myoelectric control is traditionally trained with static or ramp contractions, but this fails to capture the dynamic nature of real-world movements. This study investigated the benefits of training classifiers with continuous dynamic data, encompassing transitions between various movement classes. We employed both conventional (LDA) and deep learning (LSTM) classifiers, comparing their performance when trained with ramp data, continuous dynamic data, and an LSTM pre-trained with a self-supervised learning technique (VICReg).

Motivation: Due to the intricate etiology of neurological disorders, finding interpretable associations between multiomics features can be challenging using standard approaches.

Results: We propose COMICAL, a contrastive learning approach using multiomics data to generate associations between genetic markers and brain imaging-derived phenotypes. COMICAL jointly learns omics representations utilizing transformer-based encoders with custom tokenizers.
