The oceans and other marine ecosystems are indispensable to life, so the understanding and knowledge of their biodiversity is crucial to the use of their resources and exploration. These environments are complex and difficult to access, so different types of remote sensing technologies are used to study them. These intelligent sensors can collect a massive amount of data, which, once reviewed and analyzed, can help to draw conclusions and increase knowledge of these underwater environments. Manually reviewing and organizing through this large amount of information is both time-consuming and costly. Therefore, it is advisable to employ automated techniques from machine learning and deep learning fields. In recent years, these methods have proven to be efficient and have obtained very good results in solving different problems applied to the marine world: image enhancement, image classification, segmentation and object detection. This paper presents a systematic review, conducted in accordance with the PRISMA 2020 guidelines, aimed at summarizing the methods used to address underwater problems and their reported results.
Quantum computing, with its foundational principles of superposition and entanglement, has the potential to provide significant quantum advantages, addressing challenges that classical computing may struggle to overcome. As data generation continues to grow exponentially and tech…
Deep learning models are widely used for medical image analysis and require large datasets, while sufficient high-quality medical data for training are scarce. Data augmentation has been used to improve the performance of these models. The lack of transparency of complex deep-lea…
Classifying brain tumour transcriptomic data is crucial for precision medicine but remains challenging due to high dimensionality and limited interpretability of conventional models. This study benchmarks three image-based deep learning approaches, DeepInsight, Fotomics, and a no…
Transfer learning is a machine learning technique that uses previously acquired knowledge from a source domain to enhance learning in a target domain by reusing learned weights. This technique is ubiquitous because of its great advantages in achieving high performance while savin…
Human capability to perform routine tasks declines with age and age-related problems. Remote human activity recognition (HAR) is beneficial for regular monitoring of the elderly population. This paper addresses the problem of the continuous detection of daily human activities usi…
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most prevalent neurodegenerative disorder worldwide, affecting approximately 56.9 million people in 2021 and projected to reach 152 million by 2050. Its defining pathological features, amyloid-beta plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, accumulate fo…
