A deep vision-transformer metadata-fusing framework is developed for skin lesion classification. In this framework, a novel Deep Metadata Fusion Module (DMFM) is proposed to embed encoded metadata onto the image embedding during the compression, mimicking the process of "forging" decoration onto a metal piece, hence the name DeepMetaForge

DeepMetaForge: Revolutionizing Skin Lesion Classification with Vision-Transformers and Metadata Fusion (2023 Study)

Introduction: The Urgent Need for Accurate Skin Cancer Detection Skin cancer is one of the most prevalent and potentially deadly diseases globally, with early detection being crucial for successful treatment. According to the American Cancer Society, melanoma alone accounts for over 7,000 deaths annually in the United States. Traditional diagnostic methods rely heavily on visual […]
