Skin Lesion Segmentation Based on Improved U-net
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Melanoma is one of the most common and dangerous skin cancers, accounting for 75% of deaths associated with skin cancer. Detection of melanoma in early stages can significantly improve the survival rate. Automatic segmentation of melanoma is an important and essential step for accurate detection of melanoma. Many existing works based on traditional segmentation methods and deep learning methods have been proposed for high-resolution dermoscopy images. However, due to the intrinsic visual complexity and ambiguity among different skin conditions, automatic melanoma segmentation is still a challenging task for existing methods. Among these methods, the deep learning methods have obtained more attention recently due to its high performance by training an end-to-end framework, which needs no human interaction. U-net is a very popular deep learning model for medical image segmentation. In this paper, we propose an efficient skin lesion segmentation based on improved U-net model. Experiments conducted on the 2017 ISIC Challenge dataset towards melanoma detection shows that the proposed method can obtain state-of-the-art performance on skin lesion segmentation task.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
