This paper introduces a deep-learning based efficient classifier for common dermatological conditions, aimed at people without easy access to skin specialists. We report approximately 80% accuracy, in a situation where primary care doctors have attained 57% success rate, according to recent literature. The rationale of…

Study evaluates deep learning methods for dermatology, finding they perform poorly under non-ideal conditions.
problem Lack of robustness of deep learning methods in dermatology under real-world conditions.
method Simulated non-ideal conditions on user-submitted dermatology images.
result Deep learning methods show significant drop in accuracy and prediction changes under non-ideal conditions.
The paper investigates skin tone estimation and its impact on dermatology model performance.
problem The impact of skin tone on dermatology model performance is not well understood.

result Derm2Vec outperforms other methods in real-world dermatology dataset.
In this paper, we demonstrate the potential of applying Variational Autoencoder (VAE) [10] for anomaly detection in skin disease images. VAE is a class of deep generative models which is trained by maximizing the evidence lower bound of data distribution [10]. When trained on only normal data, the resulting model is ab…
Loss estimator improves model calibration and generalization.
problem Ensuring models generalize to unseen data.
method Train a loss estimator alongside the model using contrastive training.

Bayesian generative models can flag performance loss, bias, and out-of-distribution image contentcs.LG
SLUG method detects bias and out-of-distribution content in generative models.
problem Generative models can underrepresent certain groups and fail on out-of-distribution data.
method SLUG: A new uncertainty quantification method for VAEs combining Laplace approximations and stochastic trace estimators.
result SLUG's UQ score correlates with bias and out-of-distribution content.
We consider the problem of inferring the values of an arbitrary set of variables (e.g., risk of diseases) given other observed variables (e.g., symptoms and diagnosed diseases) and high-dimensional signals (e.g., MRI images or EEG). This is a common problem in healthcare since variables of interest often differ for dif…
While the costs of human violence have attracted a great deal of attention from the research community, the effects of the network-on-network (NoN) violence popularised by Generative Adversarial Networks have yet to be addressed. In this work, we quantify the financial, social, spiritual, cultural, grammatical and derm…
Study finds little progress in medical machine learning benchmarks over 3 years.
problem Lack of meaningful progress in medical machine learning benchmarks for structured healthcare data.
method Comprehensive review and meta-analysis of benchmarks in medical machine learning for structured data.
result Deep recurrent models perform only better than logistic regression on certain clinical prediction tasks.
