The problem of sketch semantic segmentation is far from being solved. Despite existing methods exhibiting near-saturating performances on simple sketches with high recognisability, they suffer serious setbacks when the target sketches are products of an imaginative process with high degree of creativity. We hypothesise that human creativity, being highly individualistic, induces a significant shift in distribution of sketches, leading to poor model generalisation.

General practice plays a prominent role in primary health care (PHC). However, evidence has shown that the quality of PHC is still unsatisfactory, and the accuracy of clinical diagnosis and treatment must be improved in China. Decision making tools based on artificial intelligence can help general practitioners diagnose diseases, but most existing research is not sufficiently scalable and explainable.

Sketch is a well-researched topic in the vision community by now. Sketch semantic segmentation in particular, serves as a fundamental step towards finer-level sketch interpretation. Recent works use various means of extracting discriminative features from sketches and have achieved considerable improvements on segmentation accuracy.

Aim: The aim of the study was to develop a deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) algorithm for automated assessment of stool consistency from diaper photographs and test its performance under real-world conditions.

Methods: Diaper photographs were enrolled via a mobile phone application. The stool consistency was assessed independently according to the Brussels Infant and Toddler Stool Scale (BITSS) by paediatricians.
