• Dissecting deep neural networks for better medical image classification and classification understanding 

      Hicks, Steven Alexander; Riegler, Michael; Pogorelov, Konstantin; Ånonsen, Kim Vidar; de Lange, Thomas; Johansen, Dag; Jeppsson, Mattis; Randel, Kristin Ranheim; Eskeland, Sigrun Losada; Halvorsen, Pål (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-07-23)
      Neural networks, in the context of deep learning, show much promise in becoming an important tool with the purpose assisting medical doctors in disease detection during patient examinations. However, the current state of deep learning is something of a "black box", making it very difficult to understand what internal processes lead to a given result. This is not only true for non-technical users but ...
    • Efficient disease detection in gastrointestinal videos – global features versus neural networks 

      Pogorelov, Konstantin; Riegler, Michael; Eskeland, Sigrun Losada; de Lange, Thomas; Johansen, Dag; Griwodz, Carsten; Schmidt, Peter Thelin; Halvorsen, Pål (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-07-19)
      Analysis of medical videos from the human gastrointestinal (GI) tract for detection and localization of abnormalities like lesions and diseases requires both high precision and recall. Additionally, it is important to support efficient, real-time processing for live feedback during (i) standard colonoscopies and (ii) scalability for massive population-based screening, which we conjecture can be done ...
    • HyperKvasir, a comprehensive multi-class image and video dataset for gastrointestinal endoscopy 

      Borgli, Hanna; Thambawita, Vajira; Smedsrud, Pia H; Hicks, Steven; Jha, Debesh; Eskeland, Sigrun Losada; Randel, Kristin Ranheim; Pogorelov, Konstantin; Lux, Mathias; Dang Nguyen, Duc Tien; Johansen, Dag; Griwodz, Carsten; Stensland, Håkon Kvale; Garcia-Ceja, Enrique; Schmidt, Peter T; Hammer, Hugo Lewi; Riegler, Michael; Halvorsen, Pål; de Lange, Thomas (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-28)
      Artificial intelligence is currently a hot topic in medicine. However, medical data is often sparse and hard to obtain due to legal restrictions and lack of medical personnel for the cumbersome and tedious process to manually label training data. These constraints make it difficult to develop systems for automatic analysis, like detecting disease or other lesions. In this respect, this article ...
    • Kvasir-Capsule, a video capsule endoscopy dataset 

      Smedsrud, Pia H; Thambawita, Vajira L B; Hicks, Steven; Gjestang, Henrik; Olsen Nedrejord, Oda; Næss, Espen; Borgli, Hanna; Jha, Debesh; Berstad, Tor Jan; Eskeland, Sigrun Losada; Lux, Mathias; Espeland, Håvard; Petlund, Andreas; Dang Nguyen, Duc Tien; Garcia, Enrique; Johansen, Dag; Schmidt, Peter Thelin; Toth, Ervin; Hammer, Hugo Lewi; de Lange, Thomas; Riegler, Michael Alexander; Halvorsen, Pål (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-27)
      Artificial intelligence (AI) is predicted to have profound effects on the future of video capsule endoscopy (VCE) technology. The potential lies in improving anomaly detection while reducing manual labour. Existing work demonstrates the promising benefits of AI-based computer-assisted diagnosis systems for VCE. They also show great potential for improvements to achieve even better results. Also, ...
