Abstract

BACKGROUND: The automated classification of Helicobacter pylori infection status is gaining attention, distinguishing among uninfected (no history of H. pylori infection), current infection, and post-eradication. However, this classification has relatively low performance, primarily due to the intricate nature of the task. This study aims to develop a new multistage deep learning method for automatically classifying H. pylori infection status.
