Deep-CLASS at ISIC Machine Learning Challenge 2018

Abstract: This paper reports the method and evaluation results of MedAusbild team for ISIC challenge task. Since early 2017, our team has worked on melanoma classification [1][6], and has employed deep learning since beginning of 2018 [7]. Deep learning helps researchers absolutely to treat and detect diseases by analyzing medical data (e.g., medical images). One of the representative models among the various deep-learning models is a convolutional neural network (CNN). Although our team has an experience with segmentation and classification of benign and malignant skin-lesions, we have participated in the task 3 of ISIC Challenge 2018 for classification of seven skin diseases, explained in this paper.
