My doctoral project addresses the theme of "Explainable Artificial Intelligence in Predicting Risk Factors Associated with Complications and Outcomes of Malaria". It is essential to explore the state of the art by reviewing related articles, understanding the approaches adopted by other researchers, learning about the models used, and understanding the types of data used, among other aspects.
Therefore, this repository was created to combine datasets used in malaria-related research, providing a valuable reference for future investigations. The focus will be exclusively on work utilizing machine learning on malaria-related biomedical datasets. Maintaining a data repository is a best practice and a fundamental component of data science and project development. This practice can boost transparency, foster collaboration, and increase efficiency, thus forming a solid foundation for future investigations and developments.

The article "Performance Analysis of Deep Learning Algorithms in Diagnosis of Malaria Disease" presents a comparative analysis of three deep learning models for diagnosing malaria. The models used were CNN, MobileNetV2, and ResNet50.The authors used a dataset of 27,558 images of blood cells, 13,780 images of parasitized cells, and 13,778 images of non-parasitized cells. The dataset was obtained from the United States National Institutes of Health (NIH) website.The analysis showed that the MobileNetV2 model performed best, with an accuracy rate of 97.06%. The CNN and ResNet50 models presented accuracy rates of 96.93% and 96.87%, respectively.The authors also used a data center to train the deep-learning models. | CNN (Convolutional Neural Network), MobileNetV2 e ResNet50 | English | 2023 | https://bmcmedimaging.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12880-023-00993-9.

Manual microscopic examination remains the gold standard for diagnosing malaria. However, this method is laborious and time-consuming and requires the expertise of trained pathologists. Deep learning (DL) has emerged as a promising alternative to manual microscopic examination for diagnosing malaria. In this study, the authors propose a tile-based deep-learning approach for malaria screening. The authors used a dataset of 11,290 thick blood smear images from Mali. The analysis results showed that the proposed approach achieves an accuracy of 96.83% for detecting and classifying malaria parasites, which is comparable to the accuracy of manual microscopic examination. | YOLOv4-S,YOLOv4-L | English | 2023 | https://bmcmedimaging.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12880-023-00993-9.

The article presents a system for diagnosing malaria using image analysis and machine learning. The system consists of three main components: image acquisition, image processing, and machine learning model. Machine learning model was: A convolutional neural network (CNN) was used to classify microscopic images of blood smears as positive or negative for malaria. The system achieved 90% accuracy on a dataset of 1,000 microscopic images of blood smears, which is significantly higher than the accuracy of traditional microscopy. A data center was used to train the machine learning algorithm to identify malaria parasites. And Evaluate the performance of the machine learning algorithm. The data center provided the ability to evaluate the performance of the machine learning algorithm. This involved testing the algorithm on a set of retained blood smear images to see how well it could identify malaria parasites. | Deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)Support Vector Machine(SVM) | English | 2023 | https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352864821000523.
