• Abstract: Accurate diagnostics of a skin lesion is a critical task in classification dermoscopic images. In this research, we form a new type of image features, called hybrid features, which has stronger discrimination ability than single method features. This study involves a new technique where we inject the handcrafted features or feature transfer into the fully connected layer of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model during the training process. Based on our literature review until now, no study has examined or investigated the impact on classification performance by injecting the handcrafted features into the CNN model during the training process. In addition, we also investigated the impact of segmentation mask and its effect on the overall classification performance. Our model achieves an 92.3% balanced multiclass accuracy, which is 6.8% better than the typical single method classifier architecture for deep learning.

  We present a novel technique to discover and exploit weak causal signals directly from images via neural networks for classification purposes.

• Retinopathy of Prematurity Stage Diagnosis Using Object Segmentation and Convolutional Neural Networks [68.96150598294072]
  Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) is an eye disorder primarily affecting premature infants with lower weights. It causes proliferation of vessels in the retina and could result in vision loss and, eventually, retinal detachment, leading to blindness. In recent years, there has been a significant effort to automate the diagnosis using deep learning. This paper builds upon the success of previous models and develops a novel architecture, which combines object segmentation and convolutional neural networks (CNN) Our proposed system first trains an object segmentation model to identify the demarcation line at a pixel level and adds the resulting mask as an additional "color" channel in
