- Abstract:

To address the problems that medical features can not effectively express the chronological order of a patient’s condition, feature construction incurs high labor costs, and the number of diagnosed cases of skin diseases is relatively low, this study proposes binary classification and multi-classification diagnostic methods based on neural network and transfer learning of multisource data for diagnosing skin diseases. The text classification model based on three neural network models, namely, TextLSTM(long short term memory neural network for text), TextCNN(convolutional neural network for text), and RCNN(recurrent convolutional neural networks for text classification), is applied to dermatological auxiliary diagnosis. At the same time, the method incorporates transfer learning, which can transfer theoretical knowledge of skin diseases obtained from books to the diagnostic models to a certain degree. Results show that the accuracy rate of the multi-classification diagnostic method is higher than that of the binary classification diagnostic method. By contrast, the recall rate of the binary classification diagnostic method is higher than that of the multi-classification diagnostic method. Thus, transfer learning has a positive effect on more than 75% of the experimental results.
