Public Medical Imaging Datasets For Artificial Intelligence Models

 Gathering imaging data is a fundamental part of creating artificial intelligence models for diagnostic radiology. These datasets can be used for various functions, such as training and testing machine learning algorithms, segmentation, classification, and other purposes. While many convolutional neural networks for image recognition tasks require at least thousands of images for training, lesser amounts of data are more useful other analyzing textures, transfer learning, fine-tuning, and other techniques.
Given the sensitivity of patient privacy, numerous commercial artificial intelligence models are based on exclusive data sets or individual hospital data sets that are not available. Despite this, there are a few sets of radiological images and/or reports publicly accessible on the following websites. In this post, we will list some of the best available medical imaging and healthcare-related datasets.

Text-to-Text Transformer (T5-Base Model) Testing For Summarization, Sentiment Classification, and Translation Using Pytorch and Torchtext

The Text-to-Text Transformer is a type of neural network architecture that is particularly well-suited for natural language processing tasks involving the generation of text. It was introduced in the paper " Attention is All You Need " by Vaswani et al. and has since become a popular choice for many NLP tasks, including language translation, summarization, and text generation. One of the key features of the Transformer architecture is its use of self-attention mechanisms, which allow the model to "attend" to different parts of the input text and weights their importance in generating the output. This is in contrast to traditional sequence-to-sequence models, which rely on recurrent neural networks (RNNs) and can be more difficult to parallelize and optimize. To fine-tune a text-to-text Transformer in Python, you will need to start by installing the necessary libraries, such as TensorFlow or PyTorch. You will then need to prepare your dataset, which should consist o

Introduction to CNNs with Attention Layers

  Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have been a popular choice for tasks such as image classification, object detection, and natural language processing. They have achieved state-of-the-art performance on a variety of tasks due to their ability to learn powerful features from data. However, one limitation of CNNs is that they may not always be able to capture long-range dependencies or relationships in the data. This is where attention mechanisms come into play. Attention mechanisms allow a model to focus on specific parts of the input when processing it, rather than processing the entire input equally. This can be especially useful for tasks such as machine translation, where the model needs to pay attention to different parts of the input at different times. In this tutorial, we will learn how to implement a CNN with an attention layer in Keras and TensorFlow. We will use a dataset of images of clothing items and train the model to classify them into different categories. Setting

How to Deploy a Jupyter Notebook File to Docker!

Jupyter Notebook is a powerful tool for data analysis and visualization, and it is widely used in the data science community. One of the great things about Jupyter Notebook is that it can be easily deployed on a variety of platforms, including Docker. In this blog, we will go through the steps of deploying a Jupyter Notebook on Docker, including a practical example with code.    What is Docker?   Docker is a containerization platform that allows you to package an application and its dependencies into a single container that can be easily deployed on any machine. Containers are lightweight, standalone, and executable packages that contain everything an application needs to run, including code, libraries, dependencies, and runtime. Using Docker, you can easily deploy and run applications in a consistent and reproducible manner, regardless of the environment. This makes it a great platform for deploying Jupyter Notebooks, as it allows you to share your notebooks with others in a consist

Intelligent Medicine and Health Care: Applications of Deep Learning in Computational Medicine

Machine learning is a subset of deep learning (DL), commonly referred to as deep structured learning or hierarchical learning. It is loosely based on how neurons interact with one another in animal brains to process information. Artificial neural networks (ANNs), a layered algorithmic design used in deep learning (DL), evaluate data to mimic these connections. A DL algorithm can "learn" to identify correlations and connections in the data by examining how data is routed through an ANN's layers and how those levels communicate with one another. Due to these features, DL algorithms are cutting-edge tools with the potential to transform healthcare. The most prevalent varieties in the sector have a range of applications.    Deep learning is a growing trend in healthcare artificial intelligence, but what are the use cases for the various types of deep learning? Deep learning and transformers have been used in a variety of medical applications. Here are some examples: Diagnosis

An Introduction to NeRF: Neural Radiance Fields

  Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) is a machine learning model that can generate high-resolution, photorealistic 3D models of scenes or objects from a set of 2D images. It does this by learning a continuous 3D function that maps positions in 3D space to the radiance (intensity and color) of the light that would be observed at that position in the scene. To create a NeRF model, the model is trained on a dataset of 2D images of the scene or object, along with their corresponding 3D positions and orientations. The model learns to predict the radiance at each 3D position in the scene by using a combination of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and a differentiable renderer. Why Use Neural Fields? The Neural Fields model has a number of key features that make it particularly well-suited for generating high-quality 3D models from 2D images: Continuity: Because the NeRF model learns a continuous 3D function, it can generate smooth, continuous 3D models that do not have any "gaps" or

How to write a Systematic Review Article: Steps and Limitations

Systematic reviews are a type of literature review that aim to identify, appraise, and synthesize all the available evidence on a particular research question or topic. They are considered the highest level of evidence in the hierarchy of evidence and are widely used to inform clinical practice and policy decisions. Therefore, it is important that systematic reviews are conducted in a thorough and rigorous manner. Steps to Write a Good Systematic Review Article This article provides an overview of the steps involved in conducting and writing a systematic review article. That said, these are the steps that should be considered in order to write a systematic review: Identify the research question: The first step in conducting a systematic review is to define the research question. This should be done in a clear and specific manner, using the PICO (Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome) format if applicable. Conduct a comprehensive literature search: The next step is to conduct a
