• Title: Evaluating Deep Neural Networks Trained on Clinical Images in Dermatology with the Fitzpatrick 17k Dataset
• Authors: Matthew Groh, Caleb Harris, Luis Soenksen, Felix Lau, Rachel Han, Aerin Kim, Arash Koochek, Omar Badri
• Abstract summary: This dataset includes 16,577 clinical images sourced from two dermatology atlases with Fitzpatrick skin type labels. We train a deep neural network model to classify 114 skin conditions and find that the model is most accurate on skin types similar to those it was trained on.

• Abstract: How does the accuracy of deep neural network models trained to classify clinical images of skin conditions vary across skin color? While recent studies demonstrate computer vision models can serve as a useful decision support tool in healthcare and provide dermatologist-level classification on a number of specific tasks, darker skin is underrepresented in the data. Most publicly available data sets do not include Fitzpatrick skin type labels. We annotate 16,577 clinical images sourced from two dermatology atlases with Fitzpatrick skin type labels and open-source these annotations. Based on these labels, we find that there are significantly more images of light skin types than dark skin types in this dataset. We train a deep neural network model to classify 114 skin conditions and find that the model is most accurate on skin types similar to those it was trained on. In addition, we evaluate how an algorithmic approach to identifying skin tones, individual typology angle, compares with Fitzpatrick skin type labels annotated by a team of human labelers.

  We review and compare four ITA-based approaches of skin tone classification on the ISIC18 dataset. Our analyses reveal a high disagreement among previously published studies demonstrating the risks of ITA-based skin tone estimation methods. We investigate the causes of such large discrepancy among these approaches and find that the lack of diversity in the ISIC18 dataset limits its use as a testbed for fairness analysis.
