Medical Image Classification Task
Medical image classification aims to automatically categorize medical images (e.g., X-rays, CT scans) into predefined classes, assisting in diagnosis and treatment planning. Current research emphasizes addressing challenges like limited data, class imbalance, and the need for explainable AI, leading to exploration of various model architectures including vision transformers, convolutional neural networks, and ensemble methods like gradient boosting decision trees, often enhanced by techniques such as prompt tuning, self-supervised pre-training, and knowledge distillation. These advancements hold significant potential for improving diagnostic accuracy, efficiency, and reliability in healthcare, ultimately impacting patient care and clinical decision-making.
