Unlocking the Potential of Convolutional Neural Networks

In the world of neural networks, there's a lot of talk about how to make them better. One big issue is the back-propagation algorithm. It's been around for a while, but it has some problems. It can overfit data, which means it learns the noise instead of the actual pattern. It can also have vanishing or exploding gradients, which mess up the learning process. Plus, i...

Skin Cancer: The Role of AI in Early Detection

Skin cancer is a widespread and potentially deadly condition. It is crucial to catch it early for successful treatment. Skin cancer makes up 1 in 5 of all cancer cases worldwide. Melanoma alone causes over 60, 000 deaths each year. This highlights the need for effective early detection methods. Traditional skin cancer screening by doctors is time-consuming and cos...

Solving Medical Image Puzzles: A New Approach

Medical image classification has seen a huge boost from deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs). These networks are like super-smart detectors that can spot patterns in medical images. However, there are two big hurdles to overcome. First, medical data from different places isn't always the same. This is because each hospital or clinic might have different types of...

Skin Cancer Detection: A Fresh Look with Deep Learning

Imagine if detecting skin cancer could be as simple as snapping a picture. Scientists are working on just that! They're using a special kind of computer program called convolutional neural networks (CNNs), and these aren't your average programs. They're like super-smart detectives that can spot patterns in images, like skin lesions. But how do they make these progra...

Simplified Eye Images Help Explain AI Glaucoma Diagnoses

Researchers have been using special maps called saliency maps to understand why certain AI models make specific decisions about glaucoma. They trained these AI models, called convolutional neural networks, to diagnose glaucoma using pictures of the eye's fundus, which is the inner lining of the eye. But instead of using full images, they simplified things by only sho...
