Disentangling Sampling from Training Budget in Class-Imbalanced CT Body Composition Segmentation
The paper discusses the challenge of class imbalance in medical image segmentation, particularly in CT body composition. It introduces episodic sampling as a method to achieve class-balanced batch construction and evaluates its effectiveness against traditional sampling strategies. The findings suggest that episodic sampling offers advantages in low-data training scenarios and highlights the importance of considering training iteration budgets in sampling strategies.
- ▪Class imbalance is a significant issue in medical image segmentation, affecting the representation of rare classes.
- ▪Episodic sampling was compared to random and weighted sampling on muscle and adipose tissues from the SAROS dataset.
- ▪Under low-data training conditions, episodic sampling outperformed other methods, indicating its effectiveness in class-imbalanced scenarios.
