Abstract: Biclustering is a data mining technique used to analyze gene expression data. It consists of classifying subgroups of genes that behave similarly under subgroups of conditions and can behave independently under other conditions. These discovered co-expressed genes (called biclusters) can help to find specific biological aims like finding characteristics of a specific disease. A large number of biclustering algorithms have been developed. Generally, these algorithms give as output a large number of overlapped biclusters. The visualization of these biclusters is still a non-trivial task. In this paper, we present a new approach to display biclustering results from gene expression data on the same screen. It is based on a two-dimensional matrix where each bicluster is represented as a column and each overlap between a set of biclusters is represented as a row. We illustrated the usefulness of our method with biclustering results from real and synthetic datasets and we compared it to other techniques that concentrate on biclustering overlaps issue. The method is implemented in a web-based interactive visualization tool called VisBicluster available at http://vis.usal.es/~visusal/visbicluster.

Abstract: Managing fisheries requires regular monitoring and assessment of fish populations. Traditional methods of evaluating fish stocks, particularly their size, can be time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inaccurate. Recently, digital image processing (DIP) and machine learning (ML) have emerged as promising technologies to automate fish measurement and classification. In this study, we aim to develop deep learning models to predict, and classify shape and size of the fish using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and DIP techniques. The study utilizes publicly available fish datasets and evaluates the efficiency of the proposed models using metrics such as precision, recall, and F1 score. The developed models utilize Python programming language with TensorFlow and Keras libraries. The regression component investigates the intricate relationship between various physical attributes of fish, uncovering the connections between body length, height, and weight. This analysis provides valuable insights into the correlations among these attributes, enhancing our understanding of fish characteristics. Simultaneously, the classification segment introduces an innovative approach to fish classification, incorporating shape and size attributes. Through a combination of classifiers and ensemble learning with stacking, exceptional accuracy is achieved in identifying distinct fish classes. This integration of techniques facilitates a more nuanced classification process, allowing for comprehensive categorization based on visual attributes. Our study establishes a robust framework for fish analysis and classification, Utilizing the combined strengths of digital image processing (DIP) and machine learning (ML). The developed models not only enhance the accuracy and efficiency of size classification but also contribute to the broader goal of sustainable fisheries management. This research sets a foundation for future endeavors in automating fish stock assessments, contributing to the advancement of fisheries science and management practices.
