    Abstract The bendability of genomic DNA impacts chromatin packaging and protein-DNA binding. However, we do not have a comprehensive understanding of the motifs influencing DNA bendability. Recent high-throughput technologies such as Loop-Seq offer an opportunity to address this gap but the lack of accurate and interpretable machine learning models still remains. Here we introduce DeepBend, a convolutional neural network model with convolutions designed to directly capture the motifs underlying DNA bendability and their periodic occurrences or relative arrangements that modulate bendability. DeepBend consistently performs on par with alternative models while giving an extra edge through mechanistic interpretations. Besides confirming the known motifs of DNA bendability, DeepBend also revealed several novel motifs and showed how the spatial patterns of motif occurrences influence bendability. DeepBend's genome-wide prediction of bendability further showed how bendability is linked to chromatin conformation and revealed the motifs controlling the bendability of topologically associated domains and their boundaries.

    Abstract Unpaired domain translation models with distribution matching loss such as CycleGAN are now widely being used to shift domain in medical images. However, synthesizing medical images using CycleGAN can lead to misdiagnosis of a medical condition as it might hallucinate unwanted features, especially if theres a data bias. This can potentially change the original class of the input image, which is a very serious problem. In this paper, we have introduced a modified distribution matching loss for CycleGAN to eliminate feature hallucination on the malaria dataset. In the context of the malaria dataset, unintentional feature hallucination may introduce a facet that resembles a parasite or remove the parasite after the translation. Our proposed approach has enabled us to shift the domain of the malaria dataset without the risk of changing their corresponding class. We have presented experimental evidence that our modified loss significantly reduced feature hallucination by preserving original class labels. The experimental results are better in comparison to the baseline (classic CycleGAN) that targets the translating domain. We believe that our approach will expedite the process of developing unsupervised unpaired GAN that is safe for clinical use.

    Abstract Customer churn is one of the most critical issues faced by the telecommunication industry (TCI). Researchers and analysts leverage customer relationship management (CRM) data through the use of various machine learning models and data transformation methods to identify the customers who are likely to churn. While several studies have been conducted in the customer churn prediction (CCP) context in TCI, a review of performance of the various models stemming from these studies show a clear room for improvement. Therefore, to improve the accuracy of customer churn prediction in the telecommunication industry, we have investigated several machine learning models, as well as, data transformation methods. To optimize the prediction models, feature selection has been performed using univariate technique and the best hyperparameters have been selected using the grid search method. Subsequently, experiments have been conducted on several publicly available TCI datasets to assess the performance of our models in terms of the widely used evaluation metrics, such as AUC, precision, recall, and F-measure. Through a rigorous experimental study, we have demonstrated the benefit of applying data transformation methods as well as feature selection while training an optimized CCP model. Our proposed technique improved the prediction performance by up to 26.2% and 17% in terms of AUC and F-measure, respectively.

    Abstract Lung cancer is a leading cause of death throughout the world. Because the prompt diagnosis of tumors allows oncologists to discern their nature, type, and mode of treatment, tumor detection and segmentation from CT scan images is a crucial field of study. This paper investigates lung tumor segmentation via a two-dimensional Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) on the LOTUS dataset (31,247 training, and 4458 testing samples) and a Deeply Supervised MultiResUNet model. Coupling the DWT, which is used to achieve a more meticulous textural analysis while integrating information from neighboring CT slices, with the deep supervision of the model architecture results in an improved dice coefficient of 0.8472. A key characteristic of our approach is its avoidance of 3D kernels (despite being used for a 3D segmentation task), thereby making it quite lightweight.

    Abstract The inception of next generations sequencing technologies have exponentially increased the volume of biological sequence data. Protein sequences, being quoted as the 'language of life', has been analyzed for a multitude of applications and inferences. Owing to the rapid development of deep learning, in recent years there have been a number of breakthroughs in the domain of Natural Language Processing. Since these methods are capable of performing different tasks when trained with a sufficient amount of data, off-the-shelf models are used to perform various biological applications. In this study, we investigated the applicability of the popular Skip-gram model for protein sequence analysis and made an attempt to incorporate some biological insights into it. We propose a novel k-mer embedding scheme, Align-gram, which is capable of mapping the similar k-mers close to each other in a vector space. Furthermore, we experiment with other sequence-based protein representations and observe that the embeddings derived from Align-gram aids modeling and training deep learning models better. Our experiments with a simple baseline LSTM model and a much complex CNN model of DeepGoPlus shows the potential of Align-gram in performing different types of deep learning applications for protein sequence analysis.

    Abstract Lysine succinylation is a kind of post-translational modification (PTM) that plays a crucial role in regulating the cellular processes. Aberrant succinylation may cause inflammation, cancers, metabolism diseases and nervous system diseases. The experimental methods to detect succinylation sites are time-consuming and costly. This thus calls for computational models with high efficacy, and attention has been given in the literature to develop such models, albeit with only moderate success in the context of different evaluation metrics. One crucial aspect in this context is the biochemical and physicochemical properties of amino acids, which appear to be useful as features for such computational predictors. However, some of the existing computational models did not use the biochemical and physicochemical properties of amino acids. In contrast, some others used them without considering the inter-dependency among the properties. The combinations of biochemical and physicochemical properties derived through our optimization process achieve better results than the results achieved by combining all the properties. We propose three deep learning architectures: CNN+Bi-LSTM (CBL), Bi-LSTM+CNN (BLC) and their combination (CBL_BLC). We find that CBL_BLC outperforms the other two. Ensembling of different models successfully improves the results. Notably, tuning the threshold of the ensemble classifiers further improves the results. Upon comparing our work with other existing works on two datasets, we successfully achieve better sensitivity and specificity by varying the threshold value.

    Abstract In recent years Deep Learning has brought about a breakthrough in Medical Image Segmentation. In this regard, U-Net has been the most popular architecture in the medical imaging community. Despite outstanding overall performance in segmenting multimodal medical images, through extensive experimentations on some challenging datasets, we demonstrate that the classical U-Net architecture seems to be lacking in certain aspects. Therefore, we propose some modifications to improve upon the already state-of-the-art U-Net model. Following these modifications, we develop a novel architecture, MultiResUNet, as the potential successor to the U-Net architecture. We have tested and compared MultiResUNet with the classical U-Net on a vast repertoire of multimodal medical images. Although only slight improvements in the cases of ideal images are noticed, remarkable gains in performance have been attained for the challenging ones. We have evaluated our model on five different datasets, each with their own unique challenges, and have obtained a relative improvement in performance of 10.15%, 5.07%, 2.63%, 1.41%, and 0.62% respectively. We have also discussed and highlighted some qualitatively superior aspects of MultiResUNet over classical U-Net that are not really reflected in the quantitative measures.

    Abstract The dynamic evolution of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 virus is primarily driven by mutations in its genetic sequence, culminating in the emergence of variants with increased capability to evade host immune responses. Accurate prediction of such mutations is fundamental in mitigating pandemic spread and developing effective control measures. This study introduces a robust and interpretable deep-learning approach called PRIEST. This innovative model leverages time-series viral sequences to foresee potential viral mutations. Our comprehensive experimental evaluations underscore PRIEST's proficiency in accurately predicting immune-evading mutations. Our work represents a substantial step in utilizing deep-learning methodologies for anticipatory viral mutation analysis and pandemic response.

    Abstract In this work, we have presented a way to increase the contrast of an image. Our target is to find a transformation that will be image specific. We have used a fuzzy system as our transformation function. To tune the system according to an image, we have used Genetic Algorithm and Hill Climbing in multiple ways to evolve the fuzzy system and conducted several experiments. Different variants of the method are tested on several images and two variants that are superior to others in terms of fitness are selected. We have also conducted a survey to assess the visual improvement of the enhancements made by the two variants. The survey indicates that one of the methods can enhance the contrast of the images visually.
