Automating airborne pollen classification: Identifying and interpreting hard samples for classifiers by Manuel Milling, Simon D.N. Rampp, Andreas Triantafyllopoulos, Maria P. Plaza, Jens O. Brunner, Claudia Traidl-Hoffmann, Björn W. Schuller, Athanasios Damialis

“…Yet, despite an abundance of available datasets, little effort has been spent to investigate which aspects pose the biggest challenges to the (often black-box- resembling) pollen classification approaches. To shed some light on this issue, we conducted a sample-level difficulty analysis based on the likelihood for one of the largest automatically-generated datasets of pollen grains on microscopy images and investigated the reason for which certain airborne samples and specific pollen taxa pose particular problems to deep learning algorithms. …”

Fluorescence images of skin lesions and automated diagnosis using convolutional neural networks by Matheus B. Rocha, Sebastiao Pratavieira, Renan Souza Vieira, Juliana Duarte Geller, Amanda Lima Mutz Stein, Fernanda Sales Soares de Oliveira, Tania R.P. Canuto, Luciana de Paula Vieira, Renan Rossoni, Maria C.S. Santos, Patricia H.L. Frasson, Renato A. Krohling

“…An alternate technology for diagnosing skin cancer is fluorescence widefield imaging, where the skin lesion is illuminated with excitation light, causing it to emit fluorescence. Since there is no public dataset of fluorescence images for skin lesions, to the best of our knowledge, an effort has been made and resulted in 1,563 fluorescence images of major skin lesions taken by smartphones using the handheld LED wieldfield fluorescence device. …”
