Test-Time Selection for Robust Skin Lesion Analysis

1 code implementation10 Aug 2023 Alceu Bissoto, Catarina Barata, Eduardo Valle, Sandra Avila

Skin lesion analysis models are biased by artifacts placed during image acquisition, which influence model predictions despite carrying no clinical information.

Even Small Correlation and Diversity Shifts Pose Dataset-Bias Issues

no code implementations9 May 2023 Alceu Bissoto, Catarina Barata, Eduardo Valle, Sandra Avila

Our protocol reveals three findings: 1) Models learn and propagate correlation shifts even with low-bias training; this poses a risk of accumulating and combining unaccountable weak biases; 2) Models learn robust features in high- and low-bias scenarios but use spurious ones if test samples have them; this suggests that spurious correlations do not impair the learning of robust features; 3) Diversity shift can reduce the reliance on spurious correlations; this is counter intuitive since we expect biased models to depend more on biases when invariant features are missing.

Artifact-Based Domain Generalization of Skin Lesion Models
