ABSTRACTDeep learning-based systems can achieve a diagnostic performance comparable to physicians in a variety of medical use cases including the diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy. To be useful in clinical practise, it is necessary to have well calibrated measures of the uncertainty with which these systems report their decisions. However, deep neural networks (DNNs) are being often overconfident in their predictions, and are not amenable to a straightforward probabilistic treatment. Here, we describe an intuitive framework based on test-time data augmentation for quantifying the diagnostic uncertainty of a state-of-the-art DNN for diagnosing diabetic retinopathy. We show that the derived measure of uncertainty is well-calibrated and that experienced physicians likewise find cases with uncertain diagnosis difficult to evaluate. This paves the way for an integrated treatment of uncertainty in DNN-based diagnostic systems.

The human eye contains valuable information about an individual’s identity and health. Therefore, segmenting the eye into distinct regions is an essential step towards gathering this useful information precisely. The main challenges in segmenting the human eye include low light conditions, reflections on the eye, variations in the eyelid, and head positions that make an eye image hard to segment. For this reason, there is a need for deep neural networks, which are preferred due to their success in segmentation problems. However, deep neural networks need a large amount of manually annotated data to be trained. Manual annotation is a labor-intensive task, and to tackle this problem, we used data augmentation methods to improve synthetic data. In this paper, we detail the exploration of the scenario, which, with limited data, whether performance can be enhanced using similar context data with image augmentation methods. Our training and test set consists of 3D synthetic eye images generated from the UnityEyes application and manually annotated real-life eye images, respectively. We examined the effect of using synthetic eye images with the Deeplabv3+ network in different conditions using image augmentation methods on the synthetic data. According to our experiments, the network trained with processed synthetic images beside real-life images produced better mIoU results than the network, which only trained with real-life images in the Base dataset. We also observed mIoU increase in the test set we created from MICHE II competition images.

Action Sequences

When a model makes a consequential decision, e.g., denying someone a loan, it needs to additionally generate actionable, realistic feedback on what the person can do to favorably change the decision. We cast this problem through the lens of program synthesis, in which our goal is to synthesize an optimal (realistically cheapest or simplest) sequence of actions that if a person executes successfully can change their classification. We present a novel and general approach that combines search-based program synthesis and test-time adversarial attacks to construct action sequences over a domain-specific set of actions. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach on a number of deep neural networks.

The Cost

Classification of ships and icebergs in the Arctic in satellite images is an important problem. We study how to train deep neural networks for improving the discrimination of ships and icebergs in multispectral satellite images. We also analyze synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) images for comparison. The annotated datasets of ships and icebergs are collected from multispectral Sentinel-2 data and taken from the C-CORE dataset of Sentinel-1 SAR images. Convolutional Neural Networks with a range of hyperparameters are tested and optimized. Classification accuracies are considerably better for deep neural networks than for support vector machines. Deeper neural nets improve the accuracy per epoch but at the cost of longer processing time. Extending the datasets with semi-supervised data from Greenland improves the accuracy considerably whereas data augmentation by rotating and flipping the images has little effect. The resulting classification accuracies for ships and icebergs are 86% for the SAR data and 96% for the MSI data due to the better resolution and more multispectral bands. The size and quality of the datasets are essential for training the deep neural networks, and methods to improve them are discussed. The reduced false alarm rates and exploitation of multisensory data are important for Arctic search and rescue services.
