An increase in accuracy requires a significant complication of the architecture, which, in turn, leads to an increase in the required computing resources, as well as the consumption of video memory and the cost of learning/output time. Therefore, the problem arises of determining such methods for modifying basic architectures that improve the classification accuracy and require insignificant additional computing resources.</p> <p><strong>Main scientific results:</strong>&nbsp;based on the analysis of existing methods for improving the classification accuracy on the convolutional networks of basic architectures, it is determined what is most effective: scaling the ScanNet architecture, learning the ensemble of TreeNet models, integrating several CBNet backbone networks. For computational experiments, these modifications of the basic architectures are implemented, as well as their combinations: ScanNet + TreeNet, ScanNet + CBNet.</p> <p>The effectiveness of these methods in comparison with basic architectures has been proven when solving the problem of recognizing malignant tumors with diagnostic images – SIIM-ISIC Melanoma Classification, the train/test set of which is presented on the Kaggle platform. The accuracy value for the area under the ROC curve metric has increased from 0.94489 (basic architecture network) to 0.96317 (network with ScanNet + CBNet modifications). At the same time, the output compared to the basic architecture (EfficientNet-b5) increased from 440 to 490 seconds, and the consumption of video memory increased from 8 to 9.2 gigabytes, which is acceptable.</p> <p><strong>Innovative technological product:</strong>&nbsp;methods for achieving high recognition accuracy from a diagnostic signal based on deep learning neural networks of basic architectures.</p> <p><strong>Scope of application of the innovative technological product:&nbsp;</strong>automatic diagnostics systems in the following areas: medicine, seismology, astronomy (classification by images) onboard control systems and systems for monitoring transport and vehicle flows or visitors (recognition of scenes with camera frames).</p&gt;}, number={6}, journal={ScienceRise}, author={Shapovalova, Svitlana and Moskalenko, Yurii}, year={2020}, month={Dec.}, pages={10-16} }
