Pulmonary diseases accurate recognition using adaptive multiscale feature fusion in chest radiography
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Pulmonary disease can severely impair respiratory function and be life-threatening. Accurately recognizing pulmonary diseases in chest X-ray images is challenging due to overlapping body structures and the complex anatomy of the chest. We propose an adaptive multiscale feature fusion model for recognizing Chest X-ray images of pneumonia, tuberculosis, and COVID-19, which are common pulmonary diseases. We introduce an Adaptive Multiscale Fusion Network (AMFNet) for pulmonary disease classification in chest X-ray images. AMFNet consists of a lightweight Multiscale Fusion Network (MFNet) and ResNet50 as the secondary feature extraction network. MFNet employs Fusion Blocks with self-calibrated convolution (SCConv) and Attention Feature Fusion (AFF) to capture multiscale semantic features, and integrates a custom activation function, MFReLU, which is employed to reduce the model's memory access time. A fusion module adaptively combines features from both networks. Experimental results show that AMFNet achieves 97.48% accuracy and an F1 score of 0.9781 on public datasets, outperforming models like ResNet50, DenseNet121, ConvNeXt-Tiny, and Vision Transformer while using fewer parameters.

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.
