Abstract

The study advances microorganism image classification through a hybrid approach that integrates a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), modified from the VGG19 architecture, with an ensemble model powered by H2O AutoML. Employing data augmentation and feature extraction, the approach enhances performance on a dataset encapsulating a broad spectrum of microorganism classes. The CNN model shows significant accuracy enhancements in complex bacteria classes, as depicted by the confusion matrix. Concurrently, the AutoML ensemble delivers comparable accuracy, notably in some classes where CNNs struggles. This research highlights the complementary strengths of deep learning and AutoML, demonstrating their impact in achieving high-precision microorganism recognition. Such advancements promise to significantly benefit bioinformatics and diagnostic applications, addressing the complexity of multi-class image classification tasks. The results indicate a successful combination of CNN and AutoML methodologies, setting a benchmark in automated microorganism classification, and also showcase the unique contributions and nuances of each method.
