Melanoma is the most lethal subtype of skin cancer, and early and accurate detection of this disease can greatly improve patients' outcomes. Although machine learning models, especially convolutional neural networks (CNNs), have shown great…

The potential of deep neural networks in skin lesion classification has already been demonstrated to be on-par if not superior to the dermatologists diagnosis. However, the performance of these models usually deteriorates when the test data…

Deep learning-based models in medical imaging often struggle to generalize effectively to new scans due to data heterogeneity arising from differences in hardware, acquisition parameters, population, and artifacts. This limitation presents…

The reliance of text classifiers on spurious correlations can lead to poor generalization at deployment, raising concerns about their use in safety-critical domains such as healthcare. In this work, we propose to use counterfactual data…

While domain-specific data augmentation can be useful in training neural networks for medical imaging tasks, such techniques have not been widely used to date. Here, we test whether domain-specific data augmentation is useful for medical…

Melanoma is regarded as the most threatening among all skin cancers. There is a pressing need to build systems which can aid in the early detection of melanoma and enable timely treatment to patients. Recent methods are geared towards…

Image manipulation detection algorithms designed to identify local anomalies often rely on the manipulated regions being ``sufficiently'' different from the rest of the non-tampered regions in the image. However, such anomalies might not be…

One of the more significant obstacles in classification of skin cancer is the presence of artifacts. This paper investigates the effect of dark corner artifacts, which result from the use of dermoscopes, on the performance of a deep…

Data-driven predictive solutions predominant in commercial applications tend to suffer from biases and stereotypes, which raises equity concerns. Prediction models may discover, use, or amplify spurious correlations based on gender or other…

Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)-based accurate prediction typically requires large-scale annotated training data. In Medical Imaging, however, both obtaining medical data and annotating them by expert physicians are challenging; to…
