Unsupervised online clustering and detection algorithms using crowdsourced data for malaria diagnosis

作者:

Highlights:

• An unsupervised method with crowdsourced data to detect forms in images is proposed.

• The procedure consists of a clustering and a detection stage based on the EM algorithm.

• The method accounts for outliers and is robust to unreliable annotators.

• An online implementation of the method suited for streaming data is presented.

• Experimental results with real data for Malaria diagnose support the approach.
