The diagnostic phase of the treatment process is essential for patient guidance and follow-up. The accuracy and effectiveness of this phase can determine the life or death of a patient. For the same symptoms, different doctors may come up with different diagnoses whose treatments may, instead of curing a patient, be fatal. Machine learning (ML) brings new solutions to healthcare professionals to save time and optimize the appropriate diagnosis. ML is a data analysis method that automates the creation of analytical models and promotes predictive data. There are several ML models and algorithms that rely on features extracted from, for example, a patient’s medical images to indicate whether a tumor is benign or malignant. The models differ in the way they operate and the method used to extract the discriminative features of the tumor. In this article, we review different ML models for tumor classification and COVID-19 infection to evaluate the different works. The computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems, which we referred to as classical, are based on accurate feature identification, usually performed manually or with other ML techniques that are not involved in classification. The deep learning-based CAD systems automatically perform the identification and extraction of discriminative features. The results show that the two types of DAC have quite close performances but the use of one or the other type depends on the datasets. Indeed, manual feature extraction is necessary when the size of the dataset is small; otherwise, deep learning is used.
This paper discusses new implementations of the predictive alternate test strategy that exploit model redundancy in order to improve test confidence. The key idea is to build during the training phase, not only one regression model for each specification as in the classical implementation, but several regression models. This redundancy is then used during the testing phase to identify suspect predictions and remove the corresponding devices from the alternate test flow. In this paper, we explore various options for implementing model redundancy, based on the use of different indirect measurement combinations and/or different partitions of the training set. The proposed implementations are evaluated on a real case study for which we have production test data from 10,000 devices.
