Abstract

AbstractBrain tumors pose a serious threat in our modern society, with a clear increase in global cases each year. Therefore, developing robust solutions that could automatically and reliably detect brain tumors in their early stages is of utmost importance. In our paper, we revisit the problem of building performant ensembles for clinical usage by maximizing the diversity of the member models during the training procedure. We present an improved, more robust, extended version of our framework and propose solutions that could be integrated into a Computer-Aided Diagnosis system to accurately classify some of the most common types of brain tumors: meningioma, glioma, and pituitary tumors. We show that the new framework based on the histogram loss can be seen as a natural extension of the former approach, as it also calculates the inner products of the latent vectors produced by each member to measure similarity, but at the same time, it also makes it possible to capture more complex patterns. We also present several variants of our framework to incorporate member models with varying dimensional feature vectors and to cope with imbalanced datasets. We evaluate our solutions on a clinically tested dataset of 3,064 T1-weighted contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance images and show that they greatly outperform other state-of-the-art approaches and the base architectures as well, achieving over 92% accuracy, 92% macro and weighted precision, 91% macro and 92% weighted $$F_{1}$$ F 1 score, and over 90% macro and 92% weighted sensitivity.
