  2. A survey on Image Data Augmentation for Deep Learning

    Connor Shorten, Taghi M. Khoshgoftaar · 2019 · Journal Of Big Data · 12,599 citations

    Deep convolutional neural networks have performed remarkably well on many Computer Vision tasks. However, these networks are heavily reliant on big data to avoid overfitting. Overfitting refers to the phenomenon when a network learns a function with very high variance such as to perfectly model the training data. Unfortunately, many application domains do not have access to big data, such as medical image analysis. This survey focuses on Data Augmentation, a data-space solution to the problem of limited data. Data Augmentation encompasses a suite of techniques that enhance the size and quality of training datasets such that better Deep Learning models can be built using them. The image augme

  6. The potential for artificial intelligence in healthcare

    Thomas H. Davenport, Ravi Kalakota · 2019 · Future Healthcare Journal · 3,688 citations

    The complexity and rise of data in healthcare means that artificial intelligence (AI) will increasingly be applied within the field. Several types of AI are already being employed by payers and providers of care, and life sciences companies. The key categories of applications involve diagnosis and treatment recommendations, patient engagement and adherence, and administrative activities. Although there are many instances in which AI can perform healthcare tasks as well or better than humans, implementation factors will prevent large-scale automation of healthcare professional jobs for a considerable period.

    Junaid Aftab, Muhammad Attique Khan, Sobia Arshad, et al. · 2025 · Scientific Reports · 18 citations

    Classifying medical images is essential in computer-aided diagnosis (CAD). Although the recent success of deep learning in the classification tasks has proven advantages over the traditional feature extraction techniques, it remains challenging due to the inter and intra-class similarity caused by the diversity of imaging modalities (i.e., dermoscopy, mammography, wireless capsule endoscopy, and CT). In this work, we proposed a novel deep-learning framework for classifying several medical imaging modalities. In the training phase of the deep learning models, data augmentation is performed at the first stage on all selected datasets. After that, two novel custom deep learning architectures we
