The paper proposes a new approach to calibrating convolutional neural networks (convnets) for diagnostic decision making in medical imaging. The goal is to minimize expected costs by tuning the classifier’s calibration in regions of probability simplex that are most likely to affect decisions. This is achieved by modifying temperature scaling calibration and training convnets to classify dermoscopy images. The approach shows improved calibration where it matters.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
The paper aims to help doctors make better diagnoses by calibrating their computer models, which can be used for medical imaging analysis. It’s like trying to guess the right answer from a list of possibilities. The researchers came up with a new way to do this using special algorithms and training data, which shows they are able to improve the accuracy when it counts.
