• Abstract summary: We propose a technique to reduce false positive detections made by a neural network using an SVM classifier trained with features derived from the uncertainty map of the neural network prediction. We find that the use of a dropout rate of 0.5 produces the least number of false positives in the neural network predictions.

• Abstract: Despite the successes of deep learning techniques at detecting objects in medical images, false positive detections occur which may hinder an accurate diagnosis. We propose a technique to reduce false positive detections made by a neural network using an SVM classifier trained with features derived from the uncertainty map of the neural network prediction. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this method for the detection of liver lesions on a dataset of abdominal MR images. We find that the use of a dropout rate of 0.5 produces the least number of false positives in the neural network predictions and the trained classifier filters out approximately 90% of these false positives detections in the test-set.

  We propose a novel descriptor, HAct, for OOD detection, that is, probability distributions (approximated by histograms) of output values of neural network layers under the influence of incoming data. We demonstrate that HAct is significantly more accurate than state-of-the-art in OOD detection on multiple image classification benchmarks.

  We develop a classification-based post-processing step for different uncertainty estimation methods. We show that features computed from neural network uncertainty estimates tend not to contribute much toward reducing false positives. Our results show that factors like class imbalance (true over false positive ratio) and shape-based features extracted from uncertainty maps play an important role in distinguishing false positive from true positive predictions.

  Anomaly detection for Magnetic Resonance Images (MRIs) can be solved with unsupervised methods. We have proposed a slice-wise semi-supervised method for tumour detection based on the computation of a dissimilarity function in the latent space of a Variational AutoEncoder. We show that by training the models on higher resolution images and by improving the quality of the reconstructions, we obtain results which are comparable with different baselines.
