Active Learning on Medical Image
The development of medical science greatly depends on the increased
utilization of machine learning algorithms. By incorporating machine learning,
the medical imaging field can significantly improve in terms of the speed and
accuracy of the diagnostic process. Computed tomography (CT), magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI), X-ray imaging, ultrasound imaging, and positron
emission tomography (PET) are the most commonly used types of imaging data in
the diagnosis process, and machine learning can aid in detecting diseases at an
early stage. However, training machine learning models with limited annotated
medical image data poses a challenge. The majority of medical image datasets
have limited data, which can impede the pattern-learning process of
machine-learning algorithms. Additionally, the lack of labeled data is another
critical issue for machine learning. In this context, active learning
techniques can be employed to address the challenge of limited annotated
medical image data. Active learning involves iteratively selecting the most
informative samples from a large pool of unlabeled data for annotation by
experts. By actively selecting the most relevant and informative samples,
active learning reduces the reliance on large amounts of labeled data and
maximizes the model's learning capacity with minimal human labeling effort. By
incorporating active learning into the training process, medical imaging
machine learning models can make more efficient use of the available labeled
data, improving their accuracy and performance. This approach allows medical
professionals to focus their efforts on annotating the most critical cases,
while the machine learning model actively learns from these annotated samples
to improve its diagnostic capabilities.Comment: 12 pages, 8 figures; Acceptance of the chapter for the Springer book

Deep representation learning: Fundamentals, Perspectives, Applications, and Open Challenges
Machine Learning algorithms have had a profound impact on the field of
computer science over the past few decades. These algorithms performance is
greatly influenced by the representations that are derived from the data in the
learning process. The representations learned in a successful learning process
should be concise, discrete, meaningful, and able to be applied across a
variety of tasks. A recent effort has been directed toward developing Deep
Learning models, which have proven to be particularly effective at capturing
high-dimensional, non-linear, and multi-modal characteristics. In this work, we
discuss the principles and developments that have been made in the process of
learning representations, and converting them into desirable applications. In
addition, for each framework or model, the key issues and open challenges, as
well as the advantages, are examined
