This paper proposes a new design technique that can be used for BSB (brain-state-in-a-box) neural networks to realize autoassociative memories. The proposed method is based on the parametrization of solution space and optimization using genetic algorithm. The applicability of the established technique is demonstrated by means of a simulation example, which illustrates its strengths.

In this paper, we propose a design method for GBSB (generalized brain-state-in-a-box) based associative memories. Based on the theoretical investigation about the properties of GBSB, we parameterize the solution space utilizing the limited number of parameters sufficient to represent the solution space and appropriate to be searched. Next we formulate the problem of finding a GBSB that can store the given pattern as stable states in the form of constrained optimization problems. Finally, we transform the constrained optimization problem into a SDP(semidefinite program), which can be solved by recently developed interior point methods. The applicability of the proposed method is illustrated via design examples.

In this paper, we propose a reliable method for searching the optimally performing generalized brain-state-in-a-box (GBSB) neural associative memory using an evolution program (EP) given a set of prototype patterns to be stored as stable equilibrium points. First, we exploit some qualitative guidelines necessary to synthesize the GBSB model. Next, we parameterize the solution space utilizing the limited number of parameters to represent the solution space. Then, we recast the synthesis of GBSB neural associative memories as two constrained optimization problems, which are equivalent to finding a solution to the original synthesis problem. Finally, we employ an evolution program (EP), which enables us to find an optimal set of parameters related to the size of domains of attraction (DOA) for prototype patterns. The validity of this approach is illustrated by a design example and computer simulations.

This paper proposes transfer learning and fine-tuning techniques for a deep learning model to detect three distinct brain tumors from Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans. In this work, the recent YOLOv4 model trained using a collection of 3064 T1-weighted Contrast-Enhanced (CE)-MRI scans that were pre-processed and labeled for the task. This work trained with the partial 29-layer YOLOv4-Tiny and fine-tuned to work optimally and run efficiently in most platforms with reliable performance. With the help of transfer learning, the model had initial leverage to train faster with pre-trained weights from the COCO dataset, generating a robust set of features required for brain tumor detection. The results yielded the highest mean average precision of 93.14%, a 90.34% precision, 88.58% recall, and 89.45% F1-Score outperforming other previous versions of the YOLO detection models and other studies that used bounding box detections for the same task like Faster R-CNN. As concluded, the YOLOv4-Tiny can work efficiently to detect brain tumors automatically at a rapid phase with the help of proper fine-tuning and transfer learning. This work contributes mainly to assist medical experts in the diagnostic process of brain tumors.

This paper considers a new synthesis of the optimally performing brain-state-in-a-box (BSB) neural associative memory given a set of prototype patterns to be stored as asymptotically stable equilibrium points with the large and uniform size of the domain of attraction (DOA). First, we propose a new theorem that will be used to provide a guideline in design of the BSB neural associative memory. Finally, a design example is given to illustrate the proposed approach and to compare with existing synthesis methods.

In order to diagnose and prevent Alzheimer's Disease (AD), it is becoming increasingly important to develop a CAD(Computer-aided Diagnosis) system for AD diagnosis, which provides effective treatment for patients by analyzing 3D MRI images. It is essential to apply powerful deep learning algorithms in order to automatically classify stages of Alzheimer's Disease and to develop a Alzheimer's Disease support diagnosis system that has the function of detecting hippocampus and CSF(Cerebrospinal fluid) which are important biomarkers in diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease. In this paper, for AD diagnosis, we classify a given MRI data into three categories of AD, mild cognitive impairment, and normal control according by applying 3D brain MRI image to the Faster R-CNN model and detect hippocampus and CSF in MRI image. To do this, we use the 2D MRI slice images extracted from the 3D MRI data of the Faster R-CNN, and perform the widely used majority voting algorithm on the resulting bounding box labels for classification. To verify the proposed method, we used the public ADNI data set, which is the standard brain MRI database. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves impressive classification performance compared with other state-of-the-art methods.
