Deep learning approaches for challenging species and gender identification of mosquito vectors

Abstract Microscopic observation of mosquito species, which is the basis of morphological identification, is a time-consuming and challenging process, particularly owing to the different skills and experience of public health personnel. We present deep learning models based on the well-known you-onl...
