Dermoscopic images are often contaminated by artifacts including clinical pen markings, immersion fluid air bubbles, dark corners, and most importantly hair, which makes interpreting them more challenging for clinicians and computer-aided diagnostic algorithms. Hence, automated artifact recognition and inpainting systems have the potential to aid t...

Over the past few decades, different clinical diagnostic algorithms have been proposed to diagnose malignant melanoma in its early stages. Furthermore, the detection of skin moles driven by current deep learning based approaches yields impressive results in the classification of malignant melanoma. However, in all these approaches, the researchers...

One of the biggest challenge in the field of deep learning is the parameter selection and optimization process. In recent years different algorithms have been proposed including bio-inspired solutions to solve this problem, however, there are many challenges including local minima, saddle points, and vanishing gradients. In this paper, we introduce...

The International Skin Imaging Collaboration (ISIC) datasets have become a leading repository for researchers in machine learning for medical image analysis, especially in the field of skin cancer detection and malignancy assessment. They contain tens of thousands of dermoscopic photographs together with gold-standard lesion diagnosis metadata. The...

The article presents the possibilities of using artificial neural networks for parametric prediction in borehole profiles, the application of which supplemented the set of information in all boreholes located within the analyzed area. The approach presented in the article will be used when there is no possibility of specialized interpretation of th...

Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is an enteric bacterial disease that is increasing in incidence worldwide. Symptoms of CDI range from mild diarrhea to severe life-threatening inflammation of the colon. While antibiotics are standard-of-care treatments for CDI, they are also the biggest risk factor for development of CDI and recurrence. The...

Deep learning methods, used in machine vision challenges, often face the problem of the amount and quality of data. To address this issue, we investigate the transfer learning method. In this study, we briefly describe the idea and introduce two main strategies of transfer learning. We also present the widely-used neural network models, that in rec...
