Systematic Review of Deep Learning Techniques in Skin Cancer Detection

Skin cancer is a serious health condition, as it can locally evolve into disfiguring states or metastasize to different tissues. Early detection of this disease is critical because it increases the effectiveness of treatment, which contributes to improved patient prognosis and reduced healthcare costs. Visual assessment and histopathological examination are the gold standards for diagnosing these types of lesions. Nevertheless, these processes are strongly dependent on dermatologists’ experience, with excision advised only when cancer is suspected by a physician. Multiple approaches have surfed over the last few years, particularly those based on deep learning (DL) strategies, with the goal of assisting medical professionals in the diagnosis process and ultimately diminishing diagnostic uncertainty. This systematic review focused on the analysis of relevant studies based on DL applications for skin cancer diagnosis. The qualitative assessment included 164 records relevant to the topic. The AlexNet, ResNet-50, VGG-16, and GoogLeNet architectures are considered the top choices for obtaining the best classification results, and multiclassification approaches are the current trend. Public databases are considered key elements in this area and should be maintained and improved to facilitate scientific research.

Breaking the data barrier: a review of deep learning techniques for democratizing AI with small datasets

Justifiably, while big data is the primary interest of research and public discourse, it is essential to acknowledge that small data remains prevalent. The same technological and societal forces that generate big datasets also produce a more significant number of small datasets. Contrary to the notion that more data is inherently superior, real-world constraints such as budget limitations and increased analytical complexity present critical challenges. Quality versus quantity trade-offs necessitate strategic decision-making, where small data often leads to quicker, more accurate, and cost-effective insights. Concentrating AI research, particularly in deep learning (DL), on big datasets exacerbates AI inequality, as tech giants such as Meta, Amazon, Apple, Netflix and Google (MAANG) can easily lead AI research due to their access to vast datasets, creating a barrier for small and mid-sized enterprises that lack similar access. This article addresses this imbalance by exploring DL techniques optimized for small datasets, offering a comprehensive review of historic and state-of-the-art DL models developed specifically for small datasets. This study aims to highlight the feasibility and benefits of these approaches, promoting a more inclusive and equitable AI landscape. Through a PRISMA-based literature search, 175+ relevant articles are identified and subsequently analysed based on various attributes, such as publisher, country, utilization of small dataset technique, dataset size, and performance. This article also delves into current DL models and highlights open research problems, offering recommendations for future investigations. Additionally, the article highlights the importance of developing DL models that effectively utilize small datasets, particularly in domains where data acquisition is difficult and expensive.

Covid-19 Diagnosis using Deep Learning Approaches: A Systematic Review

The utilisation of deep learning techniques has witnessed a surge in popularity within the realm of medical image analysis, particularly in the context of identifying COVID-19. Following the occurrence of the COVID-19 pandemic, extensive investigations have been conducted to identify the existence of Sars-Cov-2 through the utilisation of several deep learning algorithms. The objective of this study is to conduct a comprehensive review of deep learning techniques utilised for the detection of COVID-19. "Can deep learning methodologies serve as a viable substitute for radiologists in the diagnostic process of COVID-19?" is the research inquiry. In order to compile research articles for the purpose of conducting a systematic review, two scientific databases were employed as primary sources. Databases such as PubMed and IEEE Xplore have been utilised for this purpose till January 2022. The published studies were examined in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. The study established predetermined criteria for exclusion and inclusion, and subsequently identified relevant works based on these criteria. The findings indicated that a total of 543 out of the 634 articles that were initially retrieved were excluded due to their lack of conformity with the predetermined criteria. Conversely, 87 articles met the inclusion criteria and were retained for further analysis. The research articles presented in this compilation are categorised into three distinct groups: the types of visual representations utilised, the methods employed for applying deep learning techniques, and the programming languages that are most frequently utilised. The exclusive reliance on deep learning algorithms is insufficient for substituting the visual diagnostic performed by physicians and radiologists in the detection of COVID-19. Due to the lack of substantiation by the medical establishment. CT and x-ray imaging modalities are commonly utilised in various fields. However, alternative imaging techniques, such as Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and Ultrasonic imaging, are either overlooked or not given due consideration. The predominant focus of study is on retrospective (theoretical) rather than prospective (pragmatic) investigations. Consequently, there exists a significant need for researchers to enhance the practicality of their investigations.

A Comprehensive Review of Deep Learning Techniques for Identifying Parkinson's Disease from Gait Analysis

A group of neurological disorders that manifests in a wide range of motor and cognitive symptoms, Parkinson's Disease (PD) ranks second among those affecting older adults. Many people mistakenly believe that PD symptoms are caused by other conditions, such as essential tremor or natural aging. There may not be a cure for PD, but there are numerous medications that can help with symptoms. Since gait impairment is a prominent and early sign of PD in a clinical context, doctors typically use visual observations to analyse gait abnormalities as one of many manifestations to determine the severity of PD. Nevertheless, therapists' reliance on their own knowledge and judgment makes gait examination a difficult and subjective process. Extracting useful gait features from various input signals for gait analysis has recently been used Deep Learning (DL) models. Intermediate Medical Unit (IMU) patients with movement problems may benefit from a quick and clinically relevant evaluation of gait abnormalities performed automatically utilizing DL algorithms. Using gait analysis, this study provides a comprehensive overview of various DL frameworks that have been created for the purpose of PD prediction and categorization. At the outset, In the first part of the study, various PD prediction and classification systems that have been developed by various researchers and that rely on DL algorithms via gait analysis are reviewed briefly. To find a better way to identify and categorize the PD, we next undertake a comparative analysis to learn about the shortcomings of those algorithms.
