Few-shot learning pipeline aids Monkeypox skin disease classification with CNNs

Researchers have developed a few-shot learning pipeline to classify Monkeypox and similar skin diseases using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). This approach addresses the challenge of limited annotated data for rare conditions by employing a lightweight classifier called SimpleShot with pretrained CNN backbones. Experiments across multiple datasets and configurations showed that MobileNetV2_100 performed best, and cross-dataset evaluations highlighted the importance of domain robustness for clinical deployment. AI

IMPACT Demonstrates a practical method for applying AI to rare disease classification with limited data, potentially improving diagnostic capabilities in underserved areas.
