AO_SCPLOWBSTRACTC_SCPLOWBurns are the fourth most prevalent unintentional injury around the world, and when left untreated can become permanent and sometimes fatal. An important aspect of treating burn injuries is accurate and efficient diagnosis. Classifying the three primary types of burns - superficial dermal, deep dermal, and full thickness - is essential in determining the necessity of surgery, which is often critical to the afflicted patients survival. Unfortunately, reconstructive burn surgeons and dermatologists are merely able to diagnose these types of burns with approximately 50-75% accuracy. As a result, we propose the use of an eight-layer convolutional neural network, BurnNet, for rapid and precise burn classification with 99.87% accuracy. We applied affine transformations to artificially augment our dataset and found that our model attained near perfect metrics across the board, demonstrating the high propensity of deep learning architectures in burn classification.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
