• Abstract: Accurate diagnosis of spitzoid tumors (ST) is critical to ensure a favorable prognosis and to avoid both under- and over-treatment. Epigenetic data, particularly DNA methylation, provide a valuable source of information for this task. However, prior studies assume complete data, an unrealistic setting as methylation profiles frequently contain missing entries due to limited coverage and experimental artifacts. Our work challenges these favorable scenarios and introduces ReMAC, an extension of ReMasker designed to tackle classification tasks on high-dimensional data under complete and incomplete regimes. Evaluation on real clinical data demonstrates that ReMAC achieves strong and robust performance compared to competing classification methods in the stratification of ST.

• DMDSC: A Dynamic-Margin Deep Simplex Classifier for Open-Set Recognition on Medical Image Datasets [1.6076071340549412]
  Medical imaging datasets are often characterized by extreme class imbalances, where rare pathologies are significantly underrepresented compared to common conditions.<n>This imbalance poses a dual challenge for Open-Set Recognition (OSR): models must maintain high classification accuracy on known classes while reliably rejecting unknown samples during unseen training in the clinical settings.<n>In this paper, we propose an enhanced framework featuring a dynamic margin approach. Our approach automatically adapts class-specific margins based on frequency, enforcing a higher penalty and tighter feature clustering for rare pathologies to counteract the effects of data imbalance.
