Abstract:

This paper presents a highly accurate interpretable solution for pill shape classification. We arrived at a human-machine hybrid approach that achieved an overall classification rate of 97.83% and a mean precision of 98.4%. The only misclassifications occurred between ovals and capsules. This corresponds to an average outperformance of 94% compared to the results of other approaches when using mean precision. Our final model used a decision tree where each node classified meta-classes, or groups of classes. Each node used support vector machines with a polynomial kernel. The tree was able to overcome imbalanced data between the classes by using meta-classes. Each node of the decision tree was limited to using only two variables. This made each node interpretable as the final decision boundaries can be plotted on a 2D scatterplot.
