“…On the other hand, deep learning-based algorithms have been increasingly popular in the previous decade as computer performance and the number of available image datasets have both improved 14 , 15 . Deep learning has demonstrated remarkable efficiency in a variety of disciplines, including text recognition, computer-assisted diagnosis, facial identification, and drug development 16 . Deep learning, particularly the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), stimulates novel parasite classification research in the parasite egg detection task because of its promising performance and speed in object recognition 4 , 5 , 8 , 13 , 17 , 18 .…”
