Transpose Convolutions vs Resizing Images in Segmentation of Mammograms

I have written previously about adapting my convolutional classifier for mammograms to a network that will do dense prediction for each pixel, resulting in the segmentation of the images into normal and abnormal. I recently made two major changes, both of which drastically improved the results. The changes were using…

Dense Prediction of CBIS-DDSM Images

My original work with the DDSM and CBIS-DDSM dataset yielded good accuracy and recall on the test and validation data, but the model didn’t perform so well when applied to the MIAS images, which came from a completely different dataset. …

ConvNets for Detecting Abnormalities in DDSM Mammograms

Introduction Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in women worldwide. About 1 in 8 U.S. women (about 12.4%) will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime. The five year survival rates for stage 0 or stage 1 breast cancers are close to 100%, but the rates…

Facebook and Data Privacy

Lately I keep hearing about Facebook’s “data breach” and how Cambridge Analytica “stole” private data from Facebook. I am not a big fan of Facebook, but in this case I feel I have to come to their defense. This was absolutely not a “data breach.” I have never installed third…

On Bitcoin

In 2011 or so I bought $1,000 worth of Bitcoins. At the price at the time that was about 100 BTC which would today be worth about $1 million. I could easily be kicking myself for not having kept them for years but I never bought them in the hopes…

En 1960 John Kennedy et Richard Nixon a dépensé $19.8 millions sur ses campagnes présidentielles. L’ajustement de ces montants pour l’inflation…
