CheXpert++: Approximating the CheXpert labeler for Speed,Differentiability, and Probabilistic Output

1 code implementation26 Jun 2020 Matthew B. A. McDermott, Tzu Ming Harry Hsu, Wei-Hung Weng, Marzyeh Ghassemi, Peter Szolovits

CheXpert is very useful, but is relatively computationally slow, especially when integrated with end-to-end neural pipelines, is non-differentiable so can't be used in any applications that require gradients to flow through the labeler, and does not yield probabilistic outputs, which limits our ability to improve the quality of the silver labeler through techniques such as active learning.
