Abstract

This paper aims to identify uncommon cardiothoracic diseases and patterns on chest X-ray images. Training a machine learning model to classify rare diseases with multi-label indications is challenging without sufficient labeled training samples. Our model leverages the information from common diseases and adapts to perform on less common mentions. We propose to use multi-label few-shot learning (FSL) schemes including neighborhood component analysis loss, generating additional samples using distribution calibration and fine-tuning based on multi-label classification loss. We utilize the fact that the widely adopted nearest neighbor-based FSL schemes like ProtoNet are Voronoi diagrams in feature space. In our method, the Voronoi diagrams in the features space generated from multi-label schemes are combined into our geometric DeepVoro Multi-label ensemble. The improved performance in multi-label few-shot classification using the multi-label ensemble is demonstrated in our experiments (The code is publicly available at https://github.com/Saurabh7/Few-shot-learning-multilabel-cxray).
