Atrophic gastritis (AG) is commonly caused by the infection of the Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) bacteria. If untreated, AG may develop into a chronic condition leading to gastric cancer, which is deemed to be the third primary cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Precursory detection of AG is crucial to avoid such cases. This work focuses on H. pylori-associated infection located at the gastric antrum, where the classification is of binary classes of normal versus atrophic gastritis. Existing work developed the Deep Convolution Neural Network (DCNN) of GoogLeNet with 22 layers of the pre-trained model. Another study employed GoogLeNet based on the Inception Module, fast and robust fuzzy C-means (FRFCM), and simple linear iterative clustering (SLIC) superpixel algorithms to identify gastric disease. GoogLeNet with Caffe framework and ResNet-50 are machine learners that detect H. pylori infection. Nonetheless, the accuracy may become abundant as the network depth increases. An upgrade to the current standards method is highly anticipated to avoid untreated and inaccurate diagnoses that may lead to chronic AG. The proposed work incorporates improved techniques revolving within DCNN with pooling as pre-trained models and channel shuffle to assist streams of information across feature channels to ease the training of networks for deeper CNN. In addition, Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA) feature fusion method and ReliefF feature selection approaches are intended to revamp the combined techniques. CCA models the relationship between the two data sets of significant features generated by pre-trained ShuffleNet. ReliefF reduces and selects essential features from CCA and is classified using the Generalized Additive Model (GAM). It is believed the extended work is justified with a 98.2% testing accuracy reading, thus providing an accurate diagnosis of normal versus atrophic gastritis.
The main objective of this study is to measure the relative efficiency of Indonesian universities in 2015. There are twenty five DMUs with four inputs and five outputs that are analyzed. Due to the low number of Indonesian scientific publications, this study analyses the performance of the top 25 universities based on the Webometrics ranking as it has been used as one of the indicators of university achievements by the Higher Education of Indonesia. The Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is used to obtain the scores of efficiency, while the Fuzzy approach is applied to address the possibility of errors from the auditor's assessment in determining the input and output variables correctly. The FDEA can be used in measuring the universities performances under imprecise inputs and outputs. Both the CRS (constant returns to scale) and the VRS (variable returns to scale) models are presented. The empirical results show that 36 percent of universities perform efficiently on the CRS model while 52 percent of universities have efficient performances under the VRS model. Furthermore, the well-known universities have shown relatively low scores, which indicate they need to improve their performances in publishing scientific work, as well as providing useful information to the public through the official websites. Generally, the results of the VRS model are better than the CRS model for both the DEA and the FDEA methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
