• Abstract summary: This paper proposes a noise-tolerant medical image classification framework named Co-Correcting. It significantly improves classification accuracy and obtains more accurate labels through dual-network mutual learning, label probability estimation, and curriculum label correcting. Experiments show that Co-Correcting achieves the best accuracy and generalization under different noise ratios in various tasks.

• Abstract: With the development of deep learning, medical image classification has been significantly improved. However, deep learning requires massive data with labels. While labeling the samples by human experts is expensive and time-consuming, collecting labels from crowd-sourcing suffers from the noises which may degenerate the accuracy of classifiers. Therefore, approaches that can effectively handle label noises are highly desired. Unfortunately, recent progress on handling label noise in deep learning has gone largely unnoticed by the medical image. To fill the gap, this paper proposes a noise-tolerant medical image classification framework named Co-Correcting, which significantly improves classification accuracy and obtains more accurate labels through dual-network mutual learning, label probability estimation, and curriculum label correcting. On two representative medical image datasets and the MNIST dataset, we test six latest Learning-with-Noisy-Labels methods and conduct comparative studies. The experiments show that Co-Correcting achieves the best accuracy and generalization under different noise ratios in various tasks.

  We propose a new framework for training with ordinal'' noisy labels. Our framework uses two techniques: clean sample selection and dual-network architecture. By appropriately using the soft and hard labels in the two techniques, we achieve more accurate sample selection and robust network training.

  Noisy labels can significantly impact medical image classification, particularly in deep learning. Self-supervised pretraining, which doesn't rely on labeled data, can enhance robustness against noisy labels. Our results show that DermNet, among five datasets, is the most challenging but exhibits greater robustness against noisy labels.

We also design a novel global and local representation learning scheme to implicitly regularize the networks to utilize noisy samples.

  Robust Label Refurbishment (Robust LR) is a new hybrid method that integrates pseudo-labeling and confidence estimation techniques to refurbish noisy labels. We show that our method successfully alleviates the damage of both label noise and confirmation bias. For example, Robust LR achieves up to 4.5% absolute top-1 accuracy improvement over the previous best on the real-world noisy dataset WebVision.

We show that the majority of label noise on Chest X-ray14 is present in the class 'No Finding', which is intuitively correct because this is the most likely class to contain one or more of the 14 diseases due to labelling mistakes.

We construct a graphical representation of the unlabeled data to encode these relationships and obtain new beliefs on the graph when noisy labels are available. This is demonstrated in three different applications: scene classification, activity classification, and document classification.
