Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The disease known as malaria is a communicable illness that is spread by the bites of mosquitoes. There are already diagnostic approaches that include manually counting the amount of red blood cells (RBC) that are contaminated. This is accomplished by doing a microscopic examination of the stained blood cells of the individual who is suffering from the disease. However, this is a hard job that requires careful attention both visually and intellectually. In order to accomplish this, a comprehensive manual examination must be undertaken by an expert who is informed about the subject matter. It is possible that the implementation of deep learning algorithms will simplify the process of disease diagnosis and make this analysis more straightforward. Furthermore, because they are diagnosing malaria, they are expected to manage a vast quantity of data, which includes photographs of microscopic blood smears. This is because they are responsible for finding the disease. In order to get a better level of accuracy, it is necessary to train models that are more in-depth. This requires fast computing since it requires a substantial amount of computer resources. An accelerated convolutional neural network technique that is based on a graphics processing unit (GPU) is utilized by the Accelerated Malaria Diagnosis System (AMDS) that has been created in order to diagnose malaria.
