Download or read book Automated Reasoning for Systems Biology and Medicine written by Pietro Liò and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-06-11 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents outstanding contributions in an exciting, new and multidisciplinary research area: the application of formal, automated reasoning techniques to analyse complex models in systems biology and systems medicine. Automated reasoning is a field of computer science devoted to the development of algorithms that yield trustworthy answers, providing a basis of sound logical reasoning. For example, in the semiconductor industry formal verification is instrumental to ensuring that chip designs are free of defects (or “bugs”). Over the past 15 years, systems biology and systems medicine have been introduced in an attempt to understand the enormous complexity of life from a computational point of view. This has generated a wealth of new knowledge in the form of computational models, whose staggering complexity makes manual analysis methods infeasible. Sound, trusted, and automated means of analysing the models are thus required in order to be able to trust their conclusions. Above all, this is crucial to engineering safe biomedical devices and to reducing our reliance on wet-lab experiments and clinical trials, which will in turn produce lower economic and societal costs. Some examples of the questions addressed here include: Can we automatically adjust medications for patients with multiple chronic conditions? Can we verify that an artificial pancreas system delivers insulin in a way that ensures Type 1 diabetic patients never suffer from hyperglycaemia or hypoglycaemia? And lastly, can we predict what kind of mutations a cancer cell is likely to undergo? This book brings together leading researchers from a number of highly interdisciplinary areas, including: · Parameter inference from time series · Model selection · Network structure identification · Machine learning · Systems medicine · Hypothesis generation from experimental data · Systems biology, systems medicine, and digital pathology · Verification of biomedical devices “This book presents a comprehensive spectrum of model-focused analysis techniques for biological systems ...an essential resource for tracking the developments of a fast moving field that promises to revolutionize biology and medicine by the automated analysis of models and data.”Prof Luca Cardelli FRS, University of Oxford

Download or read book Informed Learning for Image Restoration and Understanding written by Mohammad Tofighi and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Images captured by variety of imaging devices are often corrupted by artifacts. Hence, they require quality enhancement and/or analysis techniques to remove the artifacts to be visually appealing and amenable for analysis. Many of these approaches are model based methods, which use physically inspired formulations to address the problems. On the other hand, there are learning based approaches which act as a black-box and learn a mapping between input data and desired output without using any explicit knowledge about the structure of data. In this dissertation, we pursue the combination of learning based methods and domain knowledge towards important real-world image processing and vision problems. Specifically, for blind image deconvolution we model the problem as a rank-1 matrix and use structured sparse representations to recover the image and the blur kernel. In the second part, to enhance cell nucleus detection in microscopic imagery, we incorporate shape prior information to regularize the learning of a convolutional neural network. In the last part, for blind video deblurring problem, we propose a solution which combines the interpretablity merits of model-based iterative algorithms with data-driven enhanced performance and fast inference merits of deep learning approaches by unrolling an iterative algorithm to construct a neural network.In the first part of the dissertation, we propose an algorithm based on structured sparse representations for image deblurring. Blind image deblurring is a particularly challenging inverse problem where the blur kernel is unknown and must be estimated en route to recover the deblurred image. The problem is of strong practical relevance since many imaging devices such as cellphone cameras must rely on deblurring algorithms to yield satisfactory image quality. Despite significant research effort, handling large motions remains an open problem. Here, we develop a new method called Blind Image Deblurring using Row-Column Sparsity (BD-RCS) to address this issue. Specifically, we model the outer product of kernel and image coefficients in certain transformation domains as a rank-one matrix, and recover it by solving a rank minimization problem. Our central contribution then includes solving {\em two new} optimization problems involving row and column sparsity to automatically determine blur kernel and image support sequentially. The kernel and image can then be recovered through a singular value decomposition (SVD). The second part of the dissertation addresses accurate cell nucleus detection in medical images. Nuclei detection is a challenging research topic because of limitations in cellular image quality and diversity of nuclear morphology, i.e. varying nuclei shapes, sizes, and overlaps between multiple cell nuclei. This has been a topic of enduring interest with promising recent success shown by deep learning methods. These methods train Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) with a training set of input images and known, labeled nuclei locations. Many such methods are supplemented by spatial or morphological processing. Using a set of canonical cell nuclei shapes, prepared with the help of a domain expert, we develop a new approach that we call Shape Priors with Convolutional Neural Networks (SP-CNN). We further extend the network to introduce a shape prior (SP) layer and then allowing it to become trainable (i.e. optimizable). We call this network tunable SP-CNN (TSP-CNN). In summary, we present new network structures that can incorporate `expected behavior' of nucleus shapes via two components: {\em learnable} layers that perform the nucleus detection and a {\em fixed} processing part that guides the learning with prior information. Analytically, we formulate two new regularization terms that are targeted at: 1) learning the shapes, 2) reducing false positives while simultaneously encouraging detection inside the cell nucleus boundary.While neural networks have achieved vastly enhanced performance over traditional iterative methods in many cases, they are generally empirically designed and the underlying structures are difficult to interpret. In recent years, an approach called algorithm unrolling has helped connect iterative algorithms to neural network architectures by incarnating each iteration as one layer and train the network in a cascade manner. However, such connections have not been made yet for blind image/video deblurring. In the last part of this dissertation, we propose a neural network architecture that advances this idea. We first present an iterative algorithm based on total-variation regularization method on the gradient domain, and subsequently unroll the half-quadratic splitting algorithm to construct a neural network. Key algorithm parameters are learned with the help of training data using backpropagation, for which we derive analytically simple forms that are amenable to fast implementation. Considering that the blur in consecutive frames is often unequal, some frames may remain sharp. Hence, our network incorporates spatio-temporal features to enhance the deblurring performance. We call this approach Algorithm Unrolling for Deep Video Deblurring (AUDVD), which achieves practical performance gains while enjoying interpretability at the same time.
