• Abstract: Deep learning models have gained remarkable performance on a variety of image classification tasks. However, many models suffer from limited performance in clinical or medical settings when data are imbalanced. To address this challenge, we propose a medical-knowledge-guided one-class classification approach that leverages domain-specific knowledge of classification tasks to boost the model's performance. The rationale behind our approach is that some existing prior medical knowledge can be incorporated into data-driven deep learning to facilitate model learning. We design a deep learning-based one-class classification pipeline for imbalanced image classification, and demonstrate in three use cases how we take advantage of medical knowledge of each specific classification task by generating additional middle classes to achieve higher classification performances. We evaluate our approach on three different clinical image classification tasks (a total of 8459 images) and show superior model performance when compared to six state-of-the-art methods. All codes of this work will be publicly available upon acceptance of the paper.

  Supervised learning deeply relies on large-scale annotated data, which is expensive, time-consuming, and impractical to acquire in medical imaging applications. Active Learning (AL) methods have been widely applied in natural image classification tasks to reduce annotation costs. We propose an AL-based method that can be simultaneously applied to 2D medical image classification, segmentation, and 3D medical image segmentation tasks.

  Foundation models, often pre-trained with large-scale data, have achieved paramount success in jump-starting various vision and language applications. Recent advances further enable adapting foundation models in downstream tasks efficiently using only a few training samples. Yet, the application of such learning paradigms in medical image analysis remains scarce due to the shortage of publicly accessible data and benchmarks.

We apply active learning to medical image classification, a method which aims to maximise model performance on a minimal subset from a larger pool of data.
