of AI technology to generate and validate the task plan for assembling furniture in the real and virtual environment by understanding the unstructured multi-modal information from the assembly manual) ABSTRACT Herpes zoster (HZ) is a common cutaneous disease affecting one out of five people; hence, early diagnosis of HZ is crucial as it can progress to chronic pain syndrome if antiviral treatment is not provided within 72 hr. Mobile diagnosis of HZ with the assistance of artificial intelligence can prevent neuropathic pain while reducing clinicians' fatigue and diagnosis cost. However, the clinical images captured from daily mobile devices likely contain visual corruptions, such as motion blur and noise, which can easily mislead the automated system. Hence, this paper aims to train a robust and mobile deep neural network (DNN) that can distinguish HZ from other skin diseases using user-submitted images. To enhance robustness while retaining low computational cost, we propose a knowledge distillation from ensemble via curriculum training (KDE-CT) wherein a student network learns from a stronger teacher network progressively. We established skin diseases dataset for HZ diagnosis and evaluated the robustness against 75 types of corruption. A total of 13 different DNNs was evaluated on both clean and corrupted images. The experiment result shows that the proposed KDE-CT significantly improves corruption robustness when compared with other methods. Our trained MobileNetV3-Small achieved more robust performance (93.5% overall accuracy, 67.6 mean corruption error) than the DNN ensemble with smaller computation (549x fewer multiply-and-accumulate operations), which makes it suitable for mobile skin lesion analysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
