DReX: Pure Vision Fusion of Self-Supervised and Convolutional Representations for Image Complexity Prediction

A new study introduces a balanced few-shot episodic learning framework aimed at improving the accuracy of automated retinal disease diagnosis, particularly for conditions like diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration. This method utilizes the Retinal Fundus Multi-Disease Image Dataset (RFMiD) and addresses the challenge of imbalanced datasets in conventional deep learning approaches.

A new study has introduced a Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) system that utilizes Deep Convolutional Generative Adversarial Networks (DCGANs) to augment data for training a fine-tuned ResNet-50 classifier, achieving an impressive accuracy of 92.50% in classifying seven skin disease categories. The integration of Explainable AI techniques, LIME and SHAP, enhances the transparency of predictions based on clinically relevant features.

A recent study has investigated the use of machine learning models, specifically ResNet-50 and SqueezeNet, for diagnosing tuberculosis (TB) through chest X-ray images. The research utilized a dataset of 4,200 X-rays from Kaggle, highlighting the limitations of traditional diagnostic methods in resource-limited settings. Results indicated that SqueezeNet achieved a notable performance with a loss of 32% and accuracy metrics that underscore the potential of deep learning in TB detection.

A study has compared baseline and 24-hour diffusion MRI to predict three-month outcomes after acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in 74 patients. The research utilized three-dimensional ResNet-50 embeddings combined with clinical data, achieving a predictive performance of AUC = 0.923 for the 24-hour MRI, surpassing the baseline's AUC of 0.86. Incorporating lesion-volume features enhanced model stability and interpretability.
