Validation Criteria (Measurement Criteria)
Validate (Measure) the solution in each journal paper as below:
 How to measure the technique?. Effectiveness of each work should be quantified. What are the parameters (Dependent variables) you are going
to use in assessing you the techniques?; e.g. accuracy, tissue classification, depth perception, speed … etc.
 e.g. the parameters to assess the visualisation technique in our samples are accuracy and processing time (speed). You need to be very specific when
you give the evaluation parameters, e.g. you should be very specific which accuracy you measure, registration accuracy, tracking accuracy,
visualisation accuracy … etc.
 When you identify the 'Dependent Variables' in each work, you need to identify the parameters (independent variables) that will measure each
dependent variable. e.g. what are the parameters in each work to measure accuracy.

goal, , and WHY got this good feature.
Based on Critical thinking, each paper you
are working on it, compare it with other you
reviewed and provide YOUR OPINION if
it is better on not than others you reviewed.
You also MUST to JUSTIFY why it is
better or why not ... always link with your
goal when you analyze>
<Analyze the solution and find what
is/are the limitation/s of it, and WHY

e.g. the noise level is still unacceptably
high as the patient berating during the
surgery hasn't considered by the

e.g. Gu et al. (2014) investigated the impact of noise on the clarity
of pictures in facial recognition procedures. They offer a solution to
the problem by combining two algorithms that are energy
functionality with deep learning, leading to 78% clarity
improvement. Place the reference citation

e.g. the end user in our sample is the
surgeon, to evaluate one of the system
based on the usefulness for the surgeon:

e.g. Whilst the accuracy improvement
over the current solution of 72% , the
noise level is still unacceptably high. As
a result, the combination of algorithms
does not bring forth possibilities for
refinement

Process Steps Advantage (Purpose of this step) Disadvantage (Limitation/Challenge)
1 Giving the inputs:
The AI takes into the inputs given by the
datasets created by previous processes.
This serves as a briefing for the AI about a
number of methods or actions that are taken up
in order to deal with that process.
Insufficient or incorrect data may lead to the
AI resulting in bad initial results until it
learns from its own results later.
2 Analysing:
The results obtained from the corresponding
inputs are analysed by the AI.
This gives an insight of the best probable
solutions over the different possible actions
that could be undertaken.
Incorrect data might mislead the AI into
making up wrong analysis and thereafter
suggesting in the wrong results.
3 Determination:
The best method is identified from studying the
results obtained from the various inputs.
From its analysis of the millions of actions, AI
could suggest the actions that provide the best
results for the particular case.
In cases involving factors other than the
input data, the AI would not be able to
consider them for making a proper
determination for the situation.

sufficient enough or is incorrect or if it lacks some
of the factors associated with the problem, it may
not enable the AI to determine the best solutions.
(Describe the research/current solution) Evaluation Criteria How this research/current solution is valuable
for your project
The research is aimed at using AI to optimize the
processes of health industry. It mentions the use
of techniques like deep learning and machine
learning by the help of big data and ANNs in
order to come to the best possible solutions for
medical cases that are increasing in criticality
day-by-day.
The AI helps the surgeon or the medical personnel
to attain better results by providing to them many of
the results of some course of actions. It helps to
choose the best probable solution to be taken up.
The research describes how AI has been helpful in
a lot of practical industrial applications. It gives an
outlook over how we can achieve great heights in
healthcare by working in synchronization of man
and machine.
