Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Deep Learning for document text analysis and manipulation of augmented medical data represents a remarkable convergence of cutting-edge technologies aimed at revolutionizing healthcare. This Special Issue focuses on the innovative application of deep learning algorithms in the processing of hyperspectral textual data and medical documents and manipulating augmented medical data.

Within this domain, deep learning models demonstrate unparalleled capabilities in extracting meaningful insights from vast amounts of unstructured medical text, such as clinical notes, tabular data, research papers, and patient records. These models employ advanced natural language processing techniques to accurately interpret and categorize textual data, enabling healthcare professionals to efficiently access relevant information for diagnosis, treatment planning, and research purposes.

Moreover, the integration of deep learning with augmented medical data introduces a new dimension to medical analysis and decision-making. Augmented medical data encompasses a variety of sources, including electronic health records, medical imaging, genomic data, and wearable sensor data. By using deep learning techniques, researchers can manipulate and analyze these augmented data to uncover hidden patterns, predict patient outcomes, personalize treatment strategies, and ultimately enhance the quality of patient care.

This Special Issue invites contributions that explore the latest advancements, challenges, and applications of deep learning for document text analysis and the manipulation of augmented medical data, offering valuable insights into the future of healthcare informatics.

In recent years, significant progress has been achieved in understanding and processing tabular data. However, existing approaches often rely on task-specific features and model architectures, posing challenges in accurately extracting table structures amidst diverse layouts, styles, and noise contamination. This study introduces a comprehensive deep learning methodology that is tailored for the precise identification and extraction of rows and columns from document images that contain tables. The proposed model employs table detection and structure recognition to delineate table and column areas, followed by semantic rule-based approaches for row extraction within tabular sub-regions. The evaluation was performed on the publicly available Marmot data table datasets and demonstrates state-of-the-art performance. Additionally, transfer learning using VGG-19 is employed for fine-tuning the model, enhancing its capability further. Furthermore, this project fills a void in the Marmot dataset by providing it with extra annotations for table structure, expanding its scope to encompass column detection in addition to table identification.
