A model with capability for precisely predicting readmission is a target being pursued worldwide. The objective of this study is to design predictive models using artificial intelligence methods and data retrieved from the National Health Insurance Research Database of Taiwan for identifying high-risk pneumonia patients with 30-day all-cause readmissions. An integrated genetic algorithm (GA) and support vector machine (SVM), namely IGS, were used to design predictive models optimized with three objective functions. In IGS, GA was used for selecting salient features and optimal SVM parameters, while SVM was used for constructing the models. For comparison, logistic regression (LR) and deep neural network (DNN) were also applied for model construction. The IGS model with AUC used as the objective function achieved an accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and area under ROC curve (AUC) of 70.11%, 73.46%, 69.26%, and 0.7758, respectively, outperforming the models designed with LR (65.77%, 78.44%, 62.54%, and 0.7689, respectively) and DNN (61.50%, 79.34%, 56.95%, and 0.7547, respectively), as well as previously reported models constructed using thedata of electronic health records with an AUC of 0.71–0.74. It can be used for automatically detecting pneumonia patients with a risk of all-cause readmissions within 30 days after discharge so as to administer suitable interventions to reduce readmission and healthcare costs.

With the increasing use of multi-purpose artificial intelligence of things (AIOT) devices, embedded field-programmable gate arrays (FPGA) represent excellent platforms for deep neural network (DNN) acceleration on edge devices. FPGAs possess the advantages of low latency and high energy efficiency, but the scarcity of FPGA development resources challenges the deployment of DNN-based edge devices. Register-transfer level programming, hardware verification, and precise resource allocation are needed to build a high-performance FPGA accelerator for DNNs. These tasks present a challenge and are time consuming for even experienced hardware developers. Therefore, we propose an automated, collaborative design process employing an automatic design space exploration tool; an automatic DNN engine enables the tool to reshape and parse a DNN model from software to hardware. We also introduce a long short-term memory (LSTM)-based model to predict performance and generate a DNN model that suits the developer requirements automatically. We demonstrate our design scheme with three FPGAs: a zcu104, a zcu102, and a Cyclone V SoC (system on chip). The results show that our hardware-based edge accelerator exhibits superior throughput compared with the most advanced edge graphics processing unit. Full article

The healthcare industry is being transformed by the Internet of Things (IoT), as it provides wide connectivity among physicians, medical devices, clinical and nursing staff, and patients to simplify the task of real-time monitoring. As the network is vast and heterogeneous, opportunities and challenges are presented in gathering and sharing information. Focusing on patient information such as health status, medical devices used by such patients must be protected to ensure safety and privacy. Healthcare information is confidentially shared among experts for analyzing healthcare and to provide treatment on time for patients. Cryptographic and biometric systems are widely used, including deep-learning (DL) techniques to authenticate and detect anomalies, andprovide security for medical systems. As sensors in the network are energy-restricted devices, security and efficiency must be balanced, which is the most important concept to be considered while deploying a security system based on deep-learning approaches. Hence, in this work, an innovative framework, the deep Q-learning-based neural network with privacy preservation method (DQ-NNPP), was designed to protect data transmission from external threats with less encryption and decryption time. This method is used to process patient data, which reduces network traffic. This process also reduces the cost and error of communication. Comparatively, the proposed model outperformed some standard approaches, such as thesecure and anonymous biometric based user authentication scheme (SAB-UAS), MSCryptoNet, and privacy-preserving disease prediction (PPDP). Specifically, the proposed method achieved accuracy of 93.74%, sensitivity of 92%, specificity of 92.1%, communication overhead of 67.08%, 58.72 ms encryption time, and 62.72 ms decryption time.

There has been a recent surge in publications related to binarized neural networks (BNNs), which use binary values to represent both the weights and activations in deep neural networks (DNNs). Due to the bitwise nature of BNNs, there have been many efforts to implement BNNs on ASICs and FPGAs. While BNNs are excellent candidates for these kinds of resource-limited systems, most implementations still require very large FPGAs or CPU-FPGA co-processing systems. Our work focuses on reducing the computational cost of BNNs even further, making them more efficient to implement on FPGAs. We target embedded visual inspection tasks, like quality inspection sorting on manufactured parts and agricultural produce sorting. We propose a new binarized convolutional layer, called the neural jet features layer, that learns well-known classic computer vision kernels that are efficient to calculate as a group. We show that on visual inspection tasks, neural jet features perform comparably to standard BNN convolutional layers while using less computational resources. We also show that neural jet features tend to be more stable than BNN convolution layers when training small models. Full article
