Item Performance evaluation of deep learning frameworks on computer vision problems(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2019) Nara, M.; Mukesh, B.R.; Padala, P.; Kinnal, B.Deep Learning (DL) applications have skyrocketed in recent years and are being applied in various domains. There has been a tremendous surge in the development of DL frameworks to make implementation easier. In this paper, we aim to make a comparative study of GPU-accelerated deep learning software frameworks such as Torch and TenserFlow (with Keras API). We attempt to benchmark the performance of these frameworks by implementing three different neural networks, each designed for a popular Computer Vision problem (MNIST, CIFAR10, Fashion MNIST). We performed this experiment on both CPU and GPU(Nvidia GeForce GTX 960M) settings. The performance metrics used here include evaluation time, training time, and accuracy. This paper aims to act as a guide to selecting the most suitable framework for a particular problem. The special interest of the paper is to evaluate the performance lost due to the utility of an API like Keras and a comparative study of the performance over a user-defined neural network and a standard network. Our interest also lies in their performance when subjected to networks of different sizes. ©2019 IEEE.Item Utilizing Deep Learning Models and Transfer Learning for COVID-19 Detection from X-Ray Images(Springer, 2023) Agrawal, S.; Venkatesh, V.; Nara, M.; Patil, N.COVID-19 has been a global pandemic. Flattening the curve requires intensive testing, and the world has been facing a shortage of testing equipment and medical personnel with expertise. There is a need to automate and aid the detection process. Several diagnostic tools are currently being used for COVID-19, including X-Rays and CT-scans. This study focuses on detecting COVID-19 from X-Rays. We pursue two types of problems: binary classification (COVID-19 and No COVID-19) and multi-class classification (COVID-19, No COVID-19 and Pneumonia). We examine and evaluate several classic models, namely VGG19, ResNet50, MobileNetV2, InceptionV3, Xception, DenseNet121, and specialized models such as DarkCOVIDNet and COVID-Net and prove that ResNet50 models perform best. We also propose a simple modification to the ResNet50 model, which gives a binary classification accuracy of 99.20% and a multi-class classification accuracy of 86.13%, hence cementing the ResNet50’s abilities for COVID-19 detection and ability to differentiate pneumonia and COVID-19. The proposed model’s explanations were interpreted via LIME which provides contours, and Grad-CAM, which provides heat-maps over the area(s) of interest of the classifier, i.e., COVID-19 concentrated regions in the lungs, and realize that LIME explains the results better. These explanations support our model’s ability to generalize. The proposed model is intended to be deployed for free use. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
