• Abstract: Knee-Joint Osteoarthritis (KOA) is a prevalent cause of global disability and is inherently complex to diagnose due to its subtle radiographic markers and individualized progression. One promising classification avenue involves applying deep learning methods; however, these techniques demand extensive, diversified datasets, which pose substantial challenges due to medical data collection restrictions. Existing practices typically resort to smaller datasets and transfer learning. However, this approach often inherits unnecessary pre-learned features that can clutter the classifier's vector space, potentially hampering performance. This study proposes a novel paradigm for improving post-training specialized classifiers by introducing adaptive variance thresholding (AVT) followed by Neural Architecture Search (NAS). This approach led to two key outcomes: an increase in the initial accuracy of the pre-trained KOA models and a 60-fold reduction in the NAS input vector space, thus facilitating faster inference speed and a more efficient hyperparameter search. We also applied this approach to an external model trained for KOA classification. Despite its initial performance, the application of our methodology improved its average accuracy, making it one of the top three KOA classification models.

  Model attacks (MIAs) aim to reconstruct private images from a target classifier's training set, thereby raising privacy concerns in AI applications. Previous GAN-based MIAs tend to suffer from inferior generative fidelity due to GAN's inherent flaws and biased optimization within latent space. We propose Diffusion-based Model Inversion (Diff-MI) attacks to alleviate these issues.
