Model-data-driven Adversarial Active Learning for Brain Tumor Segmentation
Computers in Biology and Medicine(2024)
摘要
Active learning (AL) attempts to select informative samples in a dataset to minimize the number of required labels while maximizing the performance of the model. Current AL in segmentation tasks is limited to the expansion of popular classification-based methods including entropy, MC-dropout, etc. Meanwhile, most applications in the medical field are simply migrations that fail to consider the nature of medical images, such as high class imbalance, high domain difference, and data scarcity. In this study, we address these challenges and propose a novel AL framework for medical image segmentation task. Our approach introduces a pseudo-label-based filter addressing excessive blank patches in medical abnormalities segmentation tasks, e.g., lesions, and tumors, used before the AL selection. This filter helps reduce resource usage and allows the model to focus on selecting more informative samples. For the sample selection, we propose a novel query strategy that combines both model impact and data stability by employing adversarial attack. Furthermore, we harness the adversarial samples generated during the query process to enhance the robustness of the model. The experimental results verify our framework's effectiveness over various state-of-the-art methods. Our proposed method only needs less than 14% annotated patches in 3D brain MRI multiple sclerosis (MS) segmentation tasks and 20% for Low-Grade Glioma (LGG) tumor segmentation to achieve competitive results with full supervision. These promising outcomes not only improve performance but alleviate the time burden associated with expert annotation, thereby facilitating further advancements in the field of medical image segmentation.
