The Artificial Intelligence RITA

VIDIX presents RITA, the Artificial Intelligence developed in collaboration with the AlmageLab of Modena.

RITA can classified skin lesions into 8 different classes, such as:

• Vascular lesions
• Basal cell carcinoma
• Squamous cell carcinoma
• Benign keratosis
• Actinic keratosis
• Dermatofibroma
• Melanocytic nevus
• Melanoma

Through a long learning process on an extremely vast dataset, the convolutional neural network (CNN) performs a video recognition of the images in order to find out the class of belonging. If the CNN makes a mistake it modifies the filters in order to improve constantly its ability as a classifier.

The effective architecture of the CNN together with the correct processing of the images in the phase of learning allows the algorithm to get an extremely high accuracy. The use of the algorithm however is made extremely easy, user friendly and quick for the final user of the device.
