ملخص: ( Aim ) Multiple sclerosis is a neurological condition that may cause neurologic disability. Convolutional neural network can achieve good results, but tuning hyperparameters of CNN needs expert knowledge and are difficult and time-consuming. To identify multiple sclerosis more accurately, this article proposed a new transfer-learning-based approach. ( Method ) DenseNet-121, DenseNet-169, and DenseNet-201 neural networks were compared. In addition, we proposed the use of a composite learning factor (CLF) that assigns different learning factor to three types of layers: early frozen layers, middle layers, and late replaced layers. How to allocate layers into those three layers remains a problem. Hence, four transfer learning settings (viz., Settings A, B, C, and D) were tested and compared. A precomputation method was utilized to reduce the storage burden and accelerate the program. ( Results ) We observed that DenseNet-201-D (the layers from CP to T3 are frozen, the layers of D4 are updated with learning factor of 1, and the final new layers of FCL are randomly initialized with learning factor of 10) can achieve the best performance. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of DenseNet-201-D was 98.27± 0.58, 98.35± 0.69, and 98.31± 0.53, respectively. ( Conclusion ) Our method gives better performances than state-of-the-art approaches. Furthermore, this composite learning rate gives superior results to traditional simple learning factor (SLF) strategy.
