Cervix cancer is the most common gynecological malignancy and second most common cancer among female in Malaysia after breast cancer. The objective of this study is to extract the size of nucleus and cytoplasm, as well as gray level values of cervical cells from ThinPrep images so that accurate value of those parameters can easily be obtained. An alternative approach of extracting features for Pap...
This paper aims to assess the effectiveness of three different clustering algorithms, used to detect breast cancer recurrent events. The performance of a classical k-means algorithm is compared with a much more sophisticated Self-Organizing Map (SOM-Kohonen network) and a cluster network, closely related to both k-means and SOM. The three clustering algorithms have been applied on a concrete breast...
The liver is a common site for the occurrence of tumors. Automatic hepatic lesion segmentation is a crucial step for diagnosis and surgery planning. This paper presents a new fully automatic technique to segment the tumors in liver structure with no interaction from user. Contrast enhancement is applied to the slices of segmented liver, then adding each image to itself to have a white image with some...
Mining techniques are needed to extract important information from huge high dimensional gene expression sets. Targeting unique expression behavior as over/under-expression is specific to gene expression data and is needed to explore another direction in the relation of genes to tumor conditions. This research proposes criteria for filtering over-expression genes, identifying over-expression related...
Feature selection is a very important preprocessing step in data classification. By applying it we are able to reduce the dimensionality of the problem by removing redundant or irrelevant data. High dimensional data sets are becoming usual nowadays specially in bio-informatics, biology, signal processing or text classification, increasing the need for efficient feature selection methods. In this paper...
One of the major issues concerning the Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) design is a proper adjustment of the weights of the network. There have been a number of studies comparing the performance of evolutionary and gradient based ANNs learning. But the results of the studies, sometime conflicting to each other although the same and standard dataset development had been used. Motivated by this finding,...
