The only "innovation" here is feeding full view mammograms to a ResNet18(2016 model). The traditional risk factors regression is nothing special (barely machine learning). They don't go in depth about how they combine the two for the hybrid model, ~~so it's probably safe to assume it is something simple (merely combining the results, so nothing special in the training step).~~ edit: I stand corrected, commenter below pointed out the appendix, and the regression does in fact come into play in the training step
As a different commenter mentioned, the data collection is largely the interesting part here.
I'll admit I was wrong about my first guess as to the network topology used though, I was thinking they used something like auto encoders (but that is mostly used in cases where examples of bad samples are rare)
Actually they did, it's in Appendix E (PDF warning) . A GitHub repo would have been nice, but I think there would be enough info to replicate this if we had the data.
Yeah it's not the most interesting paper in the world. But it's still a cool use IMO even if it might not be novel enough to deserve a news article.
ResNet18 is ancient and tiny…I don’t understand why they didn’t go with a deeper network. ResNet50 is usually the smallest I’ll use.
