Ischemic Stroke Classification using Random Forests Based on Feature Extraction of Convolutional Neural Networks

Abstract

Stroke has become a global health problem, due to high mortality and disability, with two-thirds of all strokes occurring in developing countries. In Indonesia, stroke is a disease with the highest mortality rate, namely in the first rank for more than two decades, 1990-2017. Stroke is divided into two types, ischemic and hemorrhagic; however, 87% of stroke sufferers are ischemic stroke. Suppose an ischemic stroke is found, and the patient is a new sufferer. In that case, the patient should get direct treatment because there is a golden period in stroke management that is if 4.5 hours to help and reduce the risk of death or permanent disability. High mortality and disability raise awareness of the importance of early detection of ischemic stroke; therefore, research has been carried out, especially in technology. To carry out automatic diagnosis, machine learning and deep learning can be used, especially because of their ability to provide high accuracy prediction results. In this study, the authors will provide an update in the detection of ischemic stroke based on patient CT scan by replacing NN's role on CNN with random forests. Thus, after feature extraction on CNN, the fully connected layer on CNN is completely replaced by random forests in classifying data. Based on the proposed method, the accuracy of testing is 100% when the percentage of the testing dataset is 10% and the number of trees more than 100 with criterion Gini or entropy.

Skin Lesion Detection and Classification Using Convolutional Neural Network for Deep Feature Extraction and Support Vector Machine

“…FE has been reported as a suitable method that provides acceptable accuracy for classification models [20], [24]; it extracts relevant attributes from images and avoids redundant characteristics that do not contribute to the process [34]. Besides, many scientific publications have introduced Support Vector Machine systems to classify images [8], [14], [37], [38].…”

“…CNN's are a class of deep learning neural networks that have been widely applied to image classification tasks in medicine [20]. In the last decades, skin cancer detection and classification by CNNs have been broadly studied to achieve facile and accurate recognition [21]- [24]. However, training deep CNNs from scratch for the classification of images requires a large amount of labeled training data, extensive computational and memory resources, and a great deal of expertise to ensure proper convergence, which results in an extremely time-consuming process [20].…”

An Ensemble of Deep Learning Enabled Brain Stroke Classification Model in Magnetic Resonance Images

“…Currently, deep learning (DL) method was widely utilized as a classifcation system since it calculates features automatically within the convolution layer of the deep system [9]. Te major beneft of utilizing DL method is that it outperforms other traditional methodologies for the classifcation of images.…”

Deep Learning Approach for Prediction of Brain Tumor from Small Number of MRI Images

“…MobileNet is built on a complex design. The core structure is built on top of numerous levels of abstraction, which are components of various convolutions that appear to be quantized configurations that thoroughly examine the complexity of ordinary situations [32]. Point-wise complexity refers to the complexity of 1x1 points.…”
