MIFR: A Modality-Invariant and Fair Representation Framework for Skin Disease Classification

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

The paper introduces MIFR, a modality‑invariant and fair representation framework for skin disease classification that jointly processes clinical photographs and dermoscopic images using ViT‑based encoders. It employs a five‑component multi‑objective loss to balance classification accuracy, fairness across skin tones, class alignment, and modality invariance. Experiments on paired and external datasets demonstrate competitive predictive performance and fairness, with t‑SNE visualizations confirming alignment of embeddings from different modalities.

Controllable Generation of Diverse Dermatological Imagery for Fair and Efficient Malignancy Classification

Accurate dermatological diagnosis naturally necessitates equitable performance across diverse populations, yet a systematic lack of expertly annotated images, especially for underrepresented skin tones and rare diseases, impedes progress toward measurably fair methods. We introduce cgDDI (Controllable Generation of Diverse Dermatological Imagery), a hybrid framework that (1) synthesizes realistic healthy skin samples without disturbing other input properties, (2) maps single-sample rare lesions onto novel skin-tones and locations non-parametrically, and (3) allows for efficient parametric generation with as few as 10 training samples.

Towards Modality-Agnostic Medical Image Anomaly Detection: A Training-Free Manifold Refinement Approach

arXiv:2604. 19191v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Deploying AI-based anomaly detection across diverse clinical imaging settings remains challenging because most existing methods rely on modality-specific architectures, anatomical priors, or extensive retraining, limiting their use as general-purpose screening tools.

Uncertainty-Aware and Explainable Ensemble Deep Learning Framework for Multi-Class Skin Lesion Classification

Skin cancer diagnosis from dermoscopic images remains challenging due to high intra-class variability, inter-class similarity, class imbalance, and the limited interpretability of deep learning models. This paper proposes an uncertainty-aware and explainable deep learning framework for multi-class skin lesion classification.
