Deep learning for AI-based diagnosis of skin-related neglected tropical diseases: a pilot study
Background Deep learning, which is a part of a broader concept of artificial intelligence (AI) and/or machine learning has achieved remarkable success in vision tasks. While there is growing interest in the use of this technology in diagnostic support for skin-related neglected tropical diseases (skin NTDs), there have been limited studies in this area and fewer focused on dark skin. In this study, we aimed to develop deep learning based AI models with clinical images we collected for five skin NTDs, namely, Buruli ulcer, leprosy, mycetoma, scabies, and yaws, to understand how diagnostic accuracy can or cannot be improved using different models and training patterns. Methodology This study used photographs collected prospectively in Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana through our ongoing studies with use of digital health tools for clinical data documentation and for teledermatology. Our dataset included a total of 1,709 images from 506 patients.

An Online Learning Approach for Dengue Fever Classification
Srivastava, Siddharth, Soman, Sumit, Rai, Astha
This paper introduces a novel approach for dengue fever classification based on online learning paradigms. The proposed approach is suitable for practical implementation as it enables learning using only a few training samples. With time, the proposed approach is capable of learning incrementally from the data collected without need for retraining the model or redeployment of the prediction engine. Additionally, we also provide a comprehensive evaluation of machine learning methods for prediction of dengue fever. The input to the proposed pipeline comprises of recorded patient symptoms and diagnostic investigations. Offline classifier models have been employed to obtain baseline scores to establish that the feature set is optimal for classification of dengue. The primary benefit of the online detection model presented in the paper is that it has been established to effectively identify patients with high likelihood of dengue disease, and experiments on scalability in terms of number of training and test samples validate the use of the proposed model.
