Skin Lesion Classification Through Test Time Augmentation and Explainable Artificial Intelligence by Loris Cino, Cosimo Distante, Alessandro Martella, Pier Luigi Mazzeo

“…Additionally, the research investigates the impact of Test Time Augmentation (TTA) on the performance of six Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architectures, which include models from the EfficientNet, ResNet (Residual Network), and ResNeXt (an enhanced variant of ResNet) families. To improve the interpretability of the models’ decision-making processes, techniques such as t-distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding (t-SNE) and Gradient-weighted Class Activation Mapping (Grad-CAM) are employed. t-SNE is utilized to visualize the high-dimensional latent features of the CNNs in a two-dimensional space, providing insights into how the models group different skin lesion classes. …”
