Quantitative Analysis and Development of Alopecia Areata Classification Frameworks

This study addresses the classification of Alopecia Areata using deep learning techniques, specifically focusing on two newly optimized Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). The research involved training these models on datasets containing images of healthy and alopecia-affected hair, sourced from Figaro1k and an independently created dataset. The modified Inception-Resnet-v2 model demonstrated superior performance, achieving a validation accuracy of 97.94% and a loss of 10.4%. The findings suggest that this algorithm provides an effective framework for classifying Alopecia Areata, highlighting the potential of early identification to improve treatment outcomes.
