Exploring Advances in Transformers and CNN for Skin Lesion Diagnosis on Small Datasets

30 May 2022  ·  Leandro M. de Lima, Renato A. Krohling ·

Skin cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in the world. Different computer-aided diagnosis systems have been proposed to tackle skin lesion diagnosis, most of them based in deep convolutional neural networks. However, recent advances in computer vision achieved state-of-art results in many tasks, notably Transformer-based networks. We explore and evaluate advances in computer vision architectures, training methods and multimodal feature fusion for skin lesion diagnosis task. Experiments show that PiT ($0.800 \pm 0.006$), CoaT ($0.780 \pm 0.024$) and ViT ($0.771 \pm 0.018$) backbone models with MetaBlock fusion achieved state-of-art results for balanced accuracy metric in PAD-UFES-20 dataset.
