Deep Learning Training Setup



Key observations:
- ~29K training images, 4K test images
- Highly imbalanced: only 1.77% positive (melanoma) cases
- Images are available in JPEG format
- Features include: age, sex, anatomical site, diagnosis

Strategy:
1. Start with EfficientNet-B0 (fast, proven for medical imaging)
2. Use strong augmentation (flips, rotations, color jitter)
3. Address class imbalance with weighted loss or focal loss
4. Train multiple resolutions and ensemble

Test-Time Augmentation (TTA)



Strategy: Apply multiple augmentations at inference time and average predictions.
- Horizontal flip
- Vertical flip
- Both flips
- Original

This typically gives +1-2% AUC improvement without additional training.

Message to agent: Great news - I already tried the ensemble! Averaging B0 and B3 predictions gave us: **Ensemble AUC: 0.89628** - This is our new best! (up from 0.88611) I've promoted this to the output path. The ens…
