Visual attribution using Adversarial Latent Transformations
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The ability to accurately locate all indicators of disease within medical images is vital for comprehending the effects of the disease, as well as for weakly-supervised segmentation and localization of the diagnostic correlators of disease. Existing methods either use classifiers to make predictions based on class-salient regions or else use adversarial learning based image-to-image translation to capture such disease effects. However, the former does not capture all relevant features for visual attribution (VA) and are prone to data biases; the latter can generate adversarial (misleading) and inefficient solutions when dealing in pixel values. To address this issue, we propose a novel approach Visual Attribution using Adversarial Latent Transformations (VA2LT). Our method uses adversarial learning to generate counterfactual (CF) normal images from abnormal images by finding and modifying discrepancies in the latent space. We use cycle consistency between the query and CF latent representations to guide our training. We evaluate our method on three datasets including a synthetic dataset, the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative dataset, and the BraTS dataset. Our method outperforms baseline and related methods on all datasets.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
