“…Thirdly, starting in the mid-1990s, more sophisticated machine learning algorithms (than just simple thresholding) were available, which all have extensively been explored and applied for the aforementioned polyp-detection experiments based on the extracted texture features, such as “Bayes classifiers” [33, 34], “linear discriminators” [29], “nearest neighbor classifier” [20, 28-30, 39, 40], “artificial neural networks” (ANNs) [22-24, 26-28, 32, 36, 41, 42], “support vector machines” (SVMs) [10, 21, 28, 30, 31, 39, 40], and “random forest classifiers” [43].…”
