The PLOS One Editors retract this article [1] due to concerns about:
- Compliance with PLOS policies on Submission and Publication of Related Studies.
- Similarities to a previous publication [2].
- The use of terminology that differs from standards in the field (e.g. “deep gaining knowledge” instead of “deep learning”).
- The reliability of the reported results and conclusions.
All authors agreed with retraction.
The retracted article [1] was removed from the PLOS One website at the time of retraction due to the similarities with [2]. The article’s Copyright and Data Availability statements were also updated at the time of retraction, and the removed contents are no longer offered under the Creative Commons Attribution License.
