• Authors: Minghao Wang,
• Abstract summary: This paper proposes a cows' teats self-attention residual convolutional neural network (CTSAR-CNN) model. It combines residual connectivity and self-attention mechanisms to assist commercial farms in the health assessment of cows' teats. The results showed that upon integrating residual connectivity and self-attention mechanisms, the accuracy of CTSAR-CNN has been improved.

• Abstract: Milk is a highly important consumer for Americans and the health of the cows' teats directly affects the quality of the milk. Traditionally, veterinarians manually assessed teat health by visually inspecting teat-end hyperkeratosis during the milking process which is limited in time, usually only tens of seconds, and weakens the accuracy of the health assessment of cows' teats. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been used for cows' teat-end health assessment. However, there are challenges in using CNNs for cows' teat-end health assessment, such as complex environments, changing positions and postures of cows' teats, and difficulty in identifying cows' teats from images. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a cows' teats self-attention residual convolutional neural network (CTSAR-CNN) model that combines residual connectivity and self-attention mechanisms to assist commercial farms in the health assessment of cows' teats by classifying the magnitude of teat-end hyperkeratosis using digital images. The results showed that upon integrating residual connectivity and self-attention mechanisms, the accuracy of CTSAR-CNN has been improved. This research illustrates that CTSAR-CNN can be more adaptable and speedy to assist veterinarians in assessing the health of cows' teats and ultimately benefit the dairy industry.

  Cows were shown to produce two types vocalizations: low-frequency calls (LF), produced with the mouth closed, or partially closed, for close distance contacts, and high-frequency calls (HF), produced for long distance communication. Here we present two computational frameworks - deep learning based and explainable machine learning based, to classify high and low-frequency cattle calls, and individual cow voice recognition.

  Cortical prostheses are devices implanted in the visual cortex that attempt to restore lost vision by electrically stimulating neurons. Currently, the vision provided by these devices is limited, and accurately predicting the visual percepts resulting from stimulation is an open challenge. We propose to address this challenge by utilizing 'brain-like' convolutional neural networks (CNNs), which have emerged as promising models of the visual system.

  Early lameness detection helps farmers address illnesses early and avoid negative effects caused by the degeneration of cows' condition. We collected a dataset of short clips of cows exiting a milking station and annotated the degree of lameness of the cows. We proposed a lameness detection method that leverages pre-trained neural networks to extract discriminative features from videos and assign a binary score to each cow indicating its condition: "healthy" or "lame"

  We demonstrate that the eye movement of radiologists reading medical images can be a new form of supervision to train the DNN-based computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system. We record the tracks of the radiologists' gaze when they are reading images. The gaze information is processed and then used to supervise the DNN's attention via an Attention Consistency module.

  Fetoscopy laser photocoagulation is a widely used procedure for the treatment of Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS) This may lead to increased procedural time and incomplete ablation, resulting in persistent TTTS. Computer-assisted intervention may help overcome these challenges by expanding the fetoscopic field of view through video mosaicking and providing better visualization of the vessel network. We present a large-scale multi-centre dataset for the development of generalized and robust semantic segmentation and video mosaicking algorithms for the fetal environment with a focus on creating drift-free mosaics from long duration fetoscopy videos.

  Lameness, a prevalent health disorder in dairy cows, is commonly detected by analyzing the gait of cows. A cow's gait can be tracked in videos using pose estimation models because models learn to automatically localize anatomical landmarks in images and videos. Most animal pose estimation models are static, that is, videos are processed frame by frame and do not use any temporal information.

  Deep neural networks (DNNs) show promise in breast cancer screening, but their robustness to input perturbations must be better understood before they can be clinically implemented. We measure the sensitivity of a radiologist-level screening mammogram image classifier to four commonly studied input perturbations. We also perform a detailed analysis on the effects of low-pass filtering, and find that it degrades the visibility of clinically meaningful features.
