• Abstract: The remarkable success of deep learning in recent years has prompted applications in medical image classification and diagnosis tasks. While classification models have demonstrated robustness in classifying simpler datasets like MNIST or natural images such as ImageNet, this resilience is not consistently observed in complex medical image datasets where data is more scarce and lacks diversity. Moreover, previous findings on natural image datasets have indicated a potential trade-off between data likelihood and classification accuracy. In this study, we explore the use of score-based generative models as classifiers for medical images, specifically mammographic images. Our findings suggest that our proposed generative classifier model not only achieves superior classification results on CBIS-DDSM, INbreast and Vin-Dr Mammo datasets, but also introduces a novel approach to image classification in a broader context.

  We study the dependence of the GAN-based augmentation performance on dataset size with a focus on small samples. We train StyleGAN2-ADA with both sets and then, after validating the quality of generated images, we use trained GANs as one of the augmentations approaches in multi-class classification problems. The GAN-based augmentation approach is found to be comparable with classical augmentation in the case of medium and large datasets but underperforms in the case of smaller datasets.

  The biggest challenge in the application of deep learning to the medical domain is the availability of training data. Data augmentation is a typical methodology used in machine learning when confronted with a limited data set. In this work, a StyleGAN2-ADA model of Generative Adversarial Networks is trained on the limited COVID-19 chest X-ray image set.

  We propose a novel medical image classification algorithm called Weakly-Supervised Generative Adversarial Networks (WSGAN) WSGAN only uses a small number of real images without labels to generate fake images or mask images to enlarge the sample size of the training set. We show that WSGAN can obtain relatively high learning performance by using few labeled and unlabeled data.
