Machine Learning Approaches for Developing Land Cover Mapping by Ali Alzahrani, Awos Kanan

“…Novelty of the research done in this area is focused on extracting features from high-resolution satellite images to be used in the classification process. However, it is well known in machine learning literature that some of the extracted features are irrelevant to the classification process with a negative or no effect on its accuracy. …”

The Application of Differing Machine Learning Algorithms and Their Related Performance in Detecting Skin Cancers and Melanomas by Suboh Alkhushayni, Du’a Al-zaleq, Luwis Andradi, Patrick Flynn

“…We tested combinations of models, including convolutional neural networks (CNNs), and various layers of data manipulation, such as the application of Gaussian functions and trimming of images to improve accuracy. We also created more traditional data models, including support vector classification, K-nearest neighbor, Naïve Bayes, random forest, and gradient boosting algorithms, and compared them to the CNN-based models we had created. …”

Labiodentals /r/ here to stay: Deep learning shows us why by Hannah King, Emmanuel Ferragne

“…Techniques from deep learning were used to automatically classify and measure the lip postures for /r/ and /w/ from static images of the lips in 23 speakers. Our results suggest that there is a recognisable difference between the lip postures for /r/ and /w/, which a convolutional neural network is able to detect with a very high degree of accuracy. …”

Music videos as cultural artefacts of the eighties by Retha Van Niekerk

“…A semiological approach Incorporating concepts from structuralism, psychoanalysis, feminism and post-structuralism is used to construct a theoretical model for the analysis of meanings in the visual images of music videos. In the theoretical model three levels of meaning, namely denotative, connotative and mythical, are distinguished with certain qualititative elements defined on each level The denotative level or the level of reality contains iconic signs, indexical signs and symbolical signs. …”

Incidental Findings of Asymptomatic Fungal Infection by Nisha Manila, Madhu Nair, Hui Liang

“…There was a significant expansion of the borders of the right ethmoid sinus, and discontinuity or perforation of the sphenoid sinus floor was suspected from CBCT images. Non-contrasted multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) exhibited opacification and extension of the lesion into the majority of sinuses with dense inspissated materials in the center, which resembled radiographic features of invasive fungal sinusitis. …”
