Terminology
Kappa Score
Statistic that measures the agreement between two raters that classify items into mutually exclusive categories and takes into account the probability of random agreement. If two raters are in complete agreement, then the kappa score could be close to 1. If two raters are in complete disagreement, then the kappa score could be close to 0 or even negative if they are agreeing less than the probability of random agreement.
Confusion Matrix
A table that is used to display the performance of a classification model on a test data set as compared to the ground truth. Each square has a unique row and column combination. The square in row 1 and column 2 says that the ground truth classified those test data points as category 1 but the classification model classified those same test data points as category 2. All of the squares along the diagonal of the table display the number of test cases when the ground truth and classification model are in agreement. All squares off the diagonal represent any disagreement between the ground truth and classification model; the further away from the diagonal, the larger the disagreement. If there is complete agreement between the ground truth and classification model, then all of the off diagonal squares will be zero. If there is complete disagreement between the ground truth and classification model, then all of the diagonal squares will be zero.
Binary Threshold
Change the minimum probability threshold value required to classify the study as the positive class. If the probability that a study is in the positive class is greater than or equal to the threshold value, then the study is classified as positive. A threshold of 0.75 requires that the model be 75% sure that the study is in the positive class in order for it to be classified as positive. Whereas a threshold of 0.1 requires that the model only be 10% sure that the study is in the positive class in order for it to be classified as positive. Moving the threshold slider changes the statistics calculated for the specific data element.

The square in row 1 and column 2 says that the ground truth classified those test data points as category 2 but the classification model classified those same test data points as category 1. All of the squares along the diagonal of the table display the number of test cases when the ground truth and classification model are in agreement. All squares off the diagonal represent any disagreement between the ground truth and classification model; the further away from the diagonal, the larger the disagreement.

If there is complete disagreement between the ground truth and classification model, then all of the diagonal squares will be zero.
Kappa Score
Statistic that measures the agreement between two raters that classify items into mutually exclusive categories and takes into account the probability of random agreement. If two raters are in complete agreement, then the kappa score could be close to 1. If two raters are in complete disagreement, then the kappa score could be close to 0 or even negative if they are agreeing less than the probability of random agreement.
AUC Score
(Area Under the the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) Curve or AUC, also known as the C-statistic) Performance measurement for classification problems that measures how well a model separates categories. An AUC score close to 1 means that the model is good at separating categories; it classifies 0s as 0s and 1s as 1s. An AUC score close to 0 means that the model is separating into opposite categories; it classifies 0s as 1s and 1s as 0s. An AUC score close to 0.5 means that the model is no better at separating categories than random chance.
Sensitivity
Statistic that measures the ability of a binary classification model to correctly identify the positive (present) cases. It is the ratio of true positives (both the radiologist and model classify the case as positive) to ground truth positives (all cases the radiologist classifies as positive). Also commonly referred to as true positive rate. A model with 100% sensitivity identifies all positive cases and has few false negatives. However, sensitivity does not factor in false positives.
Specificity
Statistic that measures the ability of a binary classification model to correctly identify the negative (absent) cases. It is the ratio of true negatives (both the radiologist and model classify the case as negative) to ground truth negatives (all cases the radiologist classifies as negative). Also commonly referred to as selectivity or true negative rate. A model with 100% specificity identifies all negative cases and has few false positives. However, specificity does not factor in false negatives.
Linnear Kappa
Statistic that measures the agreement between two raters that classify items into mutually exclusive categories and takes into account the probability of random agreement. If two raters are in complete agreement, then the kappa score could be close to 1. If two raters are in complete disagreement, then the kappa score could be close to 0 or even negative if they are agreeing less than the probability of random agreement.
Scatterplot of Volumes
A scatterplot that compares the size of the predicted volumes to the size of the ground truth volumes. If all of the points fall on the dotted line, then the size of the predicted volumes is equal to the size of the ground truth volumes. If the points fall below the dotted line, then the model is generally predicting smaller volumes than the ground truth. If the points fall above the dotted line, then the model is generally predicting larger volumes.
Bland-Altman Plot
The Bland-Altman plot shows the agreement between two quantitative measurements. The x-axis shows the average of the two measures and the y-axis shows the difference between the two measures. The mean difference is shown as a solid horizontal line and indicates the bias between the two measurements. If mean difference line is at 0, then on average, there is no bias between the measurements. Additionally, there are two more solid horizontal lines indicating the ±2 standard deviations of the mean difference (about 95% of the points should fall between the two lines). The Bland-Altman plot is helpful in discovering biases in quantitative measurements.
Mean Dice Coefficient
Statistic that measures the average similarity between two sets (segmentations or bounding boxes for example). A dice coefficient close to 1 signifies the sets are very similar; there is a large overlap between the predicted set and the ground truth set. A dice coefficient close to 0 signifies the sets are very dissimilar; there is very little overlap. The dice coefficient is positively correlated with Intersection over Union statistic. Generally, the mean dice coefficient will be higher for larger ground truth volumes (the radiologist's segmentation is large compared to the original image) than for smaller ground truth volumes (the radiologist's segmentation is small).
Mean Average Precision
Statistic that measures the Average Precision of the volumes at different Intersection over Union thresholds. Average Precision is the ratio of true positives to true positives, false positives, and false negatives. Average Precision is not concerned with true negatives. A Mean Average Precision close to 1 indicates that on average, there is a large overlap of predicted volumes and ground truth volumes. A Mean Average Precision close to 0 indicates that the predicted volumes are generally missing the ground truth volumes. Because this statistic is for volumes and not classes, another statistic (Intersection over Union) is used to calculate which volumes are labeled true positives. An IoU Threshold (T) is used as the minimum IoU required to label a volume as a true positive. For example, if the IoU Threshold is set to T=0.5, then a predicted volume that overlaps 75% with the ground truth (IoU = 0.75 which is greater than T) is considered a true positive. However, a predicted volume that overlaps 49% with the ground truth (IoU = 0.49 which is less than T) is considered a false negative. The Mean Average Precision statistic is the mean Average Precision of all images over the range of IoU Thresholds.
Mean Intersection over Union
Statistic that measures the average ratio of the intersection (volume of overlap) and the union (combined volumes) of the predicted and ground truth volumes. If the prediction matches the ground truth exactly, then the overlap and the union would be the same, resulting in an Intersection over Union (IoU)=1. If the prediction completely misses the ground truth, then the overlap is zero, resulting in an Intersection over Union (IoU)=0. The Mean IoU is the average intersection over union of all the bounding boxes.
Random Sampling
Sample the studies randomly, in the distribution they are found in the original dataset.
Positives Only
Sample only the positive cases in the training dataset.
Equal Class Ratios
Sample the studies so that each class is represented equally – 25% almost entirely fat, 25% scattered fibroglandular densities etc.
Sigmoid Focal Loss
Sigmoid Focal Loss reduces the importance of easy cases and increases the importance of the more difficult cases. This is very helpful when using imbalanced datasets - when there are a lot more of one class than the other. Sigmoid Focal Loss allows the model to focus on the more difficult cases.
Predicted Probability over Time
Predicted Probability over Time uses the Study Date field in the DICOM header to monitor the model's predictions over time. The y-axis is the probability that the case is in the positive class (present) according to the model. The horizontal line indicates the Binary Threshold; the model classifies all cases above the threshold line as positive (present) and all cases below as negative (absent). In instances where the radiologist disagrees with the model's classification, the color will indicate if it is a false positive or a false negative.
RoC Curve
Receiver operating Characteristic (RoC) Curve shows the trade-off between sensitivity and specificity for all thresholds. The blue circle will move depending on the Binary Threshold. A curve that is close to diagonal indicates that the model is no better than random chance. A curve that hugs the top left corner indicates good model performance. The area under the RoC curve is the AUC score.

Kappa Score
Statistic that measures the agreement between two raters that classify items into mutually exclusive categories and takes into account the probability of random agreement. If two raters are in complete agreement, then the kappa score could be close to 1. If two raters are in complete disagreement, then the kappa score could be close to 0 or even negative if they are agreeing less than the probability of random agreement.
AUC Score
(Area under the curve of the Receiver operating characteristic) Performance measurement for classification problems that measures how well a model separates categories. An AUC score close to 1 means that the model is good at separating categories; it classifies 0s as 0s and 1s as 1s. An AUC score close to 0 means that the model is separating into opposite categories; it classifies 0s as 1s and 1s as 0s. An AUC score close to 0.5 means that the model is no better at separating categories than random chance.

All of the squares along the diagonal of the table display the number of test cases when the ground truth and classification model are in agreement. All squares off the diagonal represent any disagreement between the ground truth and classification model; the further away from the diagonal, the larger the disagreement.

Loss Functions
How the model knows what to learn
-
Mean Absolute Error
- Treat all successes differently depending on confidence, treat all failures differently depending on confidence.
- If the model got the right category and was very confident in the choice, then it was a large success. If the model got the right category and was not confident in the choice, then it was a small success. If the model got the wrong category and was not confident in the choice, then it was a small failure. If the model got the wrong category and was very confident in the choice, then it was a large failure.
- Assume that the distance between the categories is the same.
-
Categorical Cross-Entropy
- Treat all successes differently depending on confidence, treat all failures equally.
- If the model got the right category and was very confident in the choice, then it was a large success. If the model got the right category and was not confident in the choice, then it was a small success. If the model got the wrong category, then it was a failure and all failures are treated the same.
-
Mean-Squared Error
- Treat all successes differently depending on confidence, treat all failures differently depending on confidence.
- If the model got the right category and was very confident in the choice, then it was a large success. If the model got the right category and was not confident in the choice, then it was a small success. If the model got the wrong category and was not confident in the choice, then it was a small failure. If the model got the wrong category and was very confident in the choice, then it was a large failure.
- Heavily penalize large failures and assume that the distance between the categories is the same.
Loss function Videos
Pretraining
Whether or not the model has been trained on a different task before training on a new task
- Random Initialization: Randomly start the model, it has not been pretrained on another task.
- Pretrained Weights (ImageNet): Start with a pretrained model that was previously trained to classify natural images, such as photos of cars, dogs, and buildings.
Batch Size
The number of training examples the model learns from during a single step. If the batch size is too small, it can lead to chaotic training because the model doesn't see enough examples at once. If the batch size is too large, the training may fail due to memory constraints of the server. If the training keeps failing, try the smallest batch size possible and increase until the memory limit is exceeded.
Initial Learning Rate
How much the model should change while learning from the training data. A learning rate that is too small can lead to long training times and could cause the model to get 'stuck'. A learning rate that is too high can lead to chaotic training because the model is changing too much.
Improvement Interval
Number of epochs the model will wait for improvement before early stopping. If early stopping is True, then the model will continue to train for a minimum improvement interval. If no improvement is made, then the model will stop training early. If there is improvement, the interval restarts. If early stopping is False, the model will not stop training early.
Early Stopping
If there is early stopping, the model will stop learning once its performance is no longer improving.
Performance Metric
The metric being used to measure the performance of the algorithm.
Kappa Score
Statistic that measures the agreement between two raters that classify items into mutually exclusive categories and takes into account the probability of random agreement. If two raters are in complete agreement, then the kappa score could be close to 1. If two raters are in complete disagreement, then the kappa score could be close to 0 or even negative if they are agreeing less than the probability of random agreement.
AUC Score
(Area under the curve of the Receiver operating characteristic) Performance measurement for classification problems that measures how well a model separates categories. An AUC score close to 1 means that the model is good at separating categories; it classifies 0s as 0s and 1s as 1s. An AUC score close to 0 means that the model is separating into opposite categories; it classifies 0s as 1s and 1s as 0s. An AUC score close to 0.5 means that the model is no better at separating categories than random chance.

A table that is used to display the performance of a classification model on a test data set as compared to the ground truth. Each square has a unique row and column combination. The square in row 1 and column 2 says that the ground truth classified those test data points as category 1 but the classification model classified those same test data points as category 2. All of the squares along the diagonal of the table display the number of test cases when the ground truth and classification model are in agreement. All squares off the diagonal represent any disagreement between the ground truth and classification model; the further away from the diagonal, the larger the disagreement. If there is complete agreement between the ground truth and classification model, then all of the off diagonal squares will be zero. If there is complete disagreement between the ground truth and classification model, then all of the diagonal squares will be zero.
