Ensemble of ConvNeXt V2 and MaxViT for Long-Tailed CXR Classification with View-Based Aggregation

원문 초록

In this work, we present our solution for the MICCAI 2024 CXR-LT challenge, achieving 4th place in Subtask 2 and 5th in Subtask 1. We leveraged an ensemble of ConvNeXt V2 and MaxViT models, pretrained on an external chest X-ray dataset, to address the long-tailed distribution of chest findings. The proposed method combines state-of-the-art image classification techniques, asymmetric loss for handling class imbalance, and view-based prediction aggregation to enhance classification performance. Through experiments, we demonstrate the advantages of our approach in improving both detection accuracy and the handling of the long-tailed distribution in CXR findings.
