Dermatology

Comprehensive Summary

In this study, Golkarieh et al. seeks to address several shortcomings of the melanoma detecting semi-supervised generative adversarial network (SS-GAN) by incorporating four key enhancements. They added reconstruction loss to mitigate mode collapse, self-attention elements to capture global context, consistency regularization to improve discriminator outputs, and confidence-based pseudo-labeling for better use of unlabeled data. These improvements were optimized by a mutual learning-based artificial bee colony algorithm with Random Key. The enhanced model was successful in distinguishing between melanoma and non-melanoma images, with F-values in the 90% range. Moreover, the SS-GAN outperformed machine and other semi-supervised learning models, increasing the F-values by 5% and 14-18% respectively, when tested against datasets like DermNet. The study strongly suggests that enhanced SS-GAN models will evolve to be more accurate than traditional models used.

Outcomes and Implications

Traditional models are not easy to use in clinical settings for various reasons, including their inability to accurately process unlabeled data. In contrast, the proposed framework is able to process and learn from the unlabeled data. Furthermore, it can speedily classify melanoma versus non-melanoma lesions, making it a useful diagnostic tool for dermatologists. Golkarieh et al. also state that the model’s reconstruction loss and self-attention elements can be used for analyzing fine-grain images like those found in histology, retinal disease detection, and MRIs.
