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
