DeepFert: An Intelligent Fertility Rate Prediction Approach for Men Based on Deep Learning Neural Networks

Men’s fertility depends on their bodies making normal sperm and delivering them. Semen analysis has been the test of choice for assessing the male partner in an infertile couple using a single threshold value to distinguish ‘abnormal’ and ‘normal’ parameters. In the semen analysis process, rA©gime issues might affect the semen morphology, quality, and spermatozoa, and also reduce the risks of fertility due to food regimen including glycemic content and limited intake of nutrients. Determination of the connotation between adjustable rA©gime and semen morphology is a complex task to determine fertility. The goal is this study is the prediction of men’s fertility rate to analyze the connection between spermatozoa and the level of lifeblood. Impaired semen parameters alone cannot be used to predict fertility more accurately. Some factors might affect the spermatozoa, like impairing sperm function, morphology, and sustainability, and can reduce the men’s fertility rate. In this article, deep learning on convolutional neural network (DLNN) is used to predict the men’s fertility rate more quickly, accurately, and consistently from different age spam of men between 18–50 years old. The convolutional neural network performs the segmentation of sperm heads, while the deep learning algorithm allows us to calculate the movement speed of sperm heads. After the application of DLNN, we have achieved semen prediction 80.952% and sperm concentration 85.714% accuracy of sperm head detection on human spermatozoa sperm samples. The results of the experiments presented below will show the applicability of the proposed method to be used in automated artificial insemination workflow.
