A Computational Deep Fuzzy Network-Based Neuroimaging Analysis for Brain Hemorrhage Classification

The boundaries and regions between individual classes in biomedical image classification are hazy and overlapping. These overlapping features make predicting the correct classification result for biomedical imaging data a difficult diagnostic task. Thus, in precise classification, it is frequently necessary to obtain all necessary information before making a decision. This paper presents a novel deep-layered design architecture based on Neuro-Fuzzy-Rough intuition to predict hemorrhages using fractured bone images and head CT scans. To deal with data uncertainty, the proposed architecture design employs a parallel pipeline with rough-fuzzy layers. In this case, the rough-fuzzy function functions as a membership function, incorporating the ability to process rough-fuzzy uncertainty information. It not only improves the deep model's overall learning process, but it also reduces feature dimensions. The proposed architecture design improves the model's learning and self-adaptation capabilities. In experiments, the proposed model performed well, with training and testing accuracies of 96.77% and 94.52%, respectively, in detecting hemorrhages using fractured head images. The comparative analysis shows that the model outperforms existing models by an average of 2.6$\pm$0.90% on various performance metrics.
