Robust active learning for the diagnosis of parasites

作者:

Highlights:

• A robust active learning method, called RDS, based on a priori data organization.

• RDS properly balances sample diversity and uncertainty for useful sample selection.

• It provides high classification accuracy for the automated diagnosis of parasites.

• Comparisons with different clustering, classification and other literature methods.

• RDS was evaluated by an experienced expert in parasitology using a realistic scenario.
