From Mushroom-Peaches to Disease Prediction: Deep Learning Approaches

Recent years have seen a noticeable shift towards the use of automated mechanisms by medical professionals for disease identification with an aim to also eventually predict life threatening diseases. The use of Artificial Intelligence is at the centre of such automated approaches, generally powered by the magnitude of rich datasets of medical imaging. Current approaches involving Machine Learning and other associated technologies have shown promising results in this domain with somewhat accurate detection of certain diseases. However, there are limitations with respect to resource consumption and accurate detection and a significant lack of accurate prediction models. This paper presents a thorough analysis to understand the origins of disease detection through object localisation. Discussion in this paper is based on the identification of certain fruits and vegetables that have complicated visual attributes from machine’s perspective. This analogy is then used to enhance the understanding of disease detection that can lead to accurate prediction.
