Assessing Generalization Capabilities of AI Models for Malaria Diagnosis Using Blood Smear Images
摘要
In many regions of the world, malaria is still a serious public health concern that requires prompt and precise diagnosis in order to be effectively treated. The generalization capacities of AI-based diagnosis models trained on thin blood smear pictures are assessed in this work. To evaluate their suitability for use in various clinical settings, a variety of datasets and AI methodologies were examined. Important issues were noted, including model robustness, dataset diversity, and site-specific biases. In order to provide greater clinical utility, the suggested strategies—which include incremental learning and transfer learning—strive to enhance these models’ generalization performance.
