Measles Rash Identification Using Residual Deep Convolutional Neural Network
Measles is extremely contagious and is one of the leading causes of vaccine-preventable illness and death in developing countries, claiming more than 100,000 lives each year. Measles was declared eliminated in the US in 2000 due to decades of successful vaccination for the measles. As a result, an increasing number of US healthcare professionals and the public have never seen the disease. Unfortunately, the Measles resurged in the US in 2019 with 1,282 confirmed cases. To assist in diagnosing measles, we collected more than 1300 images of a variety of skin conditions, with which we employed residual deep convolutional neural network to distinguish measles rash from other skin conditions, in an aim to create a phone application in the future. On our image dataset, our model reaches a classification accuracy of 95.2%, sensitivity of 81.7%, and specificity of 97.1%, indicating the model is effective in facilitating an accurate detection of measles to help contain measles outbreaks.

Early life exposure to measles and later-life outcomes: Evidence from the introduction of a vaccine
Until the mid 1960s, the UK experienced regular measles epidemics, with the vast majority of children being infected in early childhood. The introduction of a measles vaccine substantially reduced its incidence. The firs…
Statistical Models for Outbreak Detection of Measles in North Cotabato, Philippines
A measles outbreak occurs when the number of cases of measles in the population exceeds the typical level. Outbreaks that are not detected and managed early can increase mortality and morbidity and incur costs from activ…
EpidemiologyDeep Convolutional Neural Network for Roadway Incident Surveillance Using Audio Data
Crash events identification and prediction plays a vital role in understanding safety conditions for transportation systems. While existing systems use traffic parameters correlated with crash data to classify and train …
Data AugmentationA modeling approach for estimating dynamic measles case detection rates
The main idea in this paper is that the age associated with reported measles cases can be used to estimate the number of undetected measles infections. Somewhat surprisingly, even with age only to the nearest year, estim…
RSwinV2-MD: An Enhanced Residual SwinV2 Transformer for Monkeypox Detection from Skin Images
In this paper, a deep learning approach for Mpox diagnosis named Customized Residual SwinTransformerV2 (RSwinV2) has been proposed, trying to enhance the capability of lesion classification by employing the RSwinV2 tool-…
