Aim: This study aims to establish an artificial intelligence model, ThyroidNet, to diagnose thyroid nodules using deep learning techniques accurately.

Methods: A novel method, ThyroidNet, is introduced and evaluated based on deep learning for the localization and classification of thyroid nodules. First, we propose the multitask TransUnet, which combines the TransUnet encoder and decoder with multitask learning. Second, we propose the DualLoss function, tailored to the thyroid nodule localization and classification tasks. It balances the learning of the localization and classification tasks to help improve the model's generalization ability. Third, we introduce strategies for augmenting the data. Finally, we submit a novel deep learning model, ThyroidNet, to accurately detect thyroid nodules.

Results: ThyroidNet was evaluated on private datasets and was comparable to other existing methods, including U-Net and TransUnet. Experimental results show that ThyroidNet outperformed these methods in localizing and classifying thyroid nodules. It achieved improved accuracy of 3.9% and 1.5%, respectively.

Conclusion: ThyroidNet significantly improves the clinical diagnosis of thyroid nodules and supports medical image analysis tasks. Future research directions include optimization of the model structure, expansion of the dataset size, reduction of computational complexity and memory requirements, and exploration of additional applications of ThyroidNet in medical image analysis.

Over the years, the continuous development of new technology has promoted research in the field of posture recognition and also made the application field of posture recognition have been greatly expanded. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the latest methods of posture recognition and review the various techniques and algorithms of posture recognition in recent years, such as scale-invariant feature transform, histogram of oriented gradients, support vector machine (SVM), Gaussian mixture model, dynamic time warping, hidden Markov model (HMM), lightweight network, convolutional neural network (CNN). We also investigate improved methods of CNN, such as stacked hourglass networks, multi-stage pose estimation networks, convolutional pose machines, and high-resolution nets. The general process and datasets of posture recognition are analyzed and summarized, and several improved CNN methods and three main recognition techniques are compared. In addition, the applications of advanced neural networks in posture recognition, such as transfer learning, ensemble learning, graph neural networks, and explainable deep neural networks, are introduced. It was found that CNN has achieved great success in posture recognition and is favored by researchers. Still, a more in-depth research is needed in feature extraction, information fusion, and other aspects. Among classification methods, HMM and SVM are the most widely used, and lightweight network gradually attracts the attention of researchers. In addition, due to the lack of 3D benchmark data sets, data generation is a critical research direction.

Problems: For people all over the world, cancer is one of the most feared diseases. Cancer is one of the major obstacles to improving life expectancy in countries around the world and one of the biggest causes of death before the age of 70 in 112 countries. Among all kinds of cancers, breast cancer is the most common cancer for women. The data showed that female breast cancer had become one of the most common cancers.

Aims: A large number of clinical trials have proved that if breast cancer is diagnosed at an early stage, it could give patients more treatment options and improve the treatment effect and survival ability. Based on this situation, there are many diagnostic methods for breast cancer, such as computer-aided diagnosis (CAD).

Methods: We complete a comprehensive review of the diagnosis of breast cancer based on the convolutional neural network (CNN) after reviewing a sea of recent papers. Firstly, we introduce several different imaging modalities. The structure of CNN is given in the second part. After that, we introduce some public breast cancer data sets. Then, we divide the diagnosis of breast cancer into three different tasks: 1. classification; 2. detection; 3. segmentation.

Conclusion: Although this diagnosis with CNN has achieved great success, there are still some limitations. (i) There are too few good data sets. A good public breast cancer dataset needs to involve many aspects, such as professional medical knowledge, privacy issues, financial issues, dataset size, and so on. (ii) When the data set is too large, the CNN-based model needs a sea of computation and time to complete the diagnosis. (iii) It is easy to cause overfitting when using small data sets.
