The proposed ProtoAL method combines an interpretable deep learning model with the Deep Active Learning framework to address challenges in medical imaging-based Computer-aided diagnosis (AI-CAD) solutions. This approach aims to provide both interpretability and efficient data usage, utilizing prototypes as the foundation for its inherently interpretable model. The evaluation on the Messidor dataset yielded a precision-recall curve area under 0.79 while using only 76.54% of labeled data. This can enhance the practical usability of deep learning models in medical imaging applications, enabling trust calibration with domain experts and addressing data scarcity issues.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
The paper proposes a new method for using artificial intelligence (AI) to help doctors analyze medical images. The current AI-based tools have limitations because they are hard to understand and require a lot of data. To solve these problems, the researchers created a new approach called ProtoAL. It combines an easy-to-understand AI model with another technique that helps learn from limited data. They tested this method on some medical image data and found it was quite accurate while only needing a small amount of labeled information. This could make AI more practical for use in hospitals, allowing doctors to trust the results and making it easier to work with limited data.
