• Abstract summary: We take advantage of the raw multi-rater gradings to improve the deep learning model performance for the glaucoma classification task. A multi-branch model structure is proposed to predict the most sensitive, most specifical and a balanced fused result for the input images. Compared with models trained only with the final ground-truth labels, the proposed method using multi-rater consensus information has achieved superior performance.

• Abstract: Medical images are generally labeled by multiple experts before the final ground-truth labels are determined. Consensus or disagreement among experts regarding individual images reflects the gradeability and difficulty levels of the image. However, when being used for model training, only the final ground-truth label is utilized, while the critical information contained in the raw multi-rater gradings regarding the image being an easy/hard case is discarded. In this paper, we aim to take advantage of the raw multi-rater gradings to improve the deep learning model performance for the glaucoma classification task. Specifically, a multi-branch model structure is proposed to predict the most sensitive, most specifical and a balanced fused result for the input images. In order to encourage the sensitivity branch and specificity branch to generate consistent results for consensus labels and opposite results for disagreement labels, a consensus loss is proposed to constrain the output of the two branches. Meanwhile, the consistency/inconsistency between the prediction results of the two branches implies the image being an easy/hard case, which is further utilized to encourage the balanced fusion branch to concentrate more on the hard cases. Compared with models trained only with the final ground-truth labels, the proposed method using multi-rater consensus information has achieved superior performance, and it is also able to estimate the difficulty levels of individual input images when making the prediction.

  We propose Decompose-and-Compose (DaC) to improve correlation shift by combining elements of images. Based on our observations, models trained with Empirical Risk Minimization (ERM) usually highly attend to either the causal components or the components having a high spurious correlation with the label. We propose a group-balancing method by intervening on images without requiring group labels or information regarding the spurious features during training.
