Multi-Stage Segmentation and Cascade Classification Methods for Improving Cardiac MRI Analysis

Vitalii Slobodzian, Pavlo Radiuk, Oleksander Barmak et al.

The segmentation and classification of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging are critical for diagnosing heart conditions, yet current approaches face challenges in accuracy and generalizability. In this study, we aim to further advance the segmentation and classification of cardiac magnetic resonance images by introducing a novel deep learning-based approach. Using a multi-stage process with U-Net and ResNet models for segmentation, followed by Gaussian smoothing, the method improved segmentation accuracy, achieving a Dice coefficient of 0.974 for the left ventricle and 0.947 for the right ventricle. For classification, a cascade of deep learning classifiers was employed to distinguish heart conditions, including hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, myocardial infarction, and dilated cardiomyopathy, achieving an average accuracy of 97.2%. The proposed approach outperformed existing models, enhancing segmentation accuracy and classification precision. These advancements show promise for clinical applications, though further validation and interpretation across diverse imaging protocols is necessary.

Integration of Contextual Descriptors in Ontology Alignment for Enrichment of Semantic Correspondence

Eduard Manziuk, Oleksander Barmak, Pavlo Radiuk et al.

This paper proposes a novel approach to semantic ontology alignment using contextual descriptors. A formalization was developed that enables the integration of essential and contextual descriptors to create a comprehensive knowledge model. The hierarchical structure of the semantic approach and the mathematical apparatus for analyzing potential conflicts between concepts, particularly in the example of "Transparency" and "Privacy" in the context of artificial intelligence, are demonstrated. Experimental studies showed a significant improvement in ontology alignment metrics after the implementation of contextual descriptors, especially in the areas of privacy, responsibility, and freedom & autonomy. The application of contextual descriptors achieved an average overall improvement of approximately 4.36%. The results indicate the effectiveness of the proposed approach for more accurately reflecting the complexity of knowledge and its contextual dependence.
