Session Title: The Robots are Coming! AI for Breast Imaging Interpretation
Question 1: What is the main challenge in building robust deep learning CNN (DL-CNN) models for detection and characterization of breast cancer?
Reference:Chan H- P, Samala RK, Hadjiiski LM. CAD and AI for breast cancer—recent development and challenges. Br J Radiol 2020; 93: 20190580.
Choice A:Lack of freely available DL-CNN software packages
Choice B:Lack of sufficiently large memory to hold the DL-CNN structure
Choice C:Lack of a large enough well-annotated data set to have independent training, validation, and test partitions
Choice D:To reach high accuracy on the training data set
Question 2: The transfer learning technique for the deep learning networks is characterized best by:
Reference:Yosinski J., Clune J., Bengio Y., Lipson H., How transferable are features in deep neural networks?, Advances in Neural Information Processing Systems 27, pp. 3320-3328, Dec. 2014.
Choice A:Fast training of the entire deep learning CNN structure.
Choice B:Freezing the parameters/weights of part of a deep learning CNN already trained with a large data set and retraining/fine-tuning the rest of the structure with a new data set relevant to the specific application of interest.
Choice C:Backpropagation
Choice D:Large learning rate
Question 3: Deep learning based feature extraction is often achieved by:

Choice A:Using the domain knowledge and expertise of human developers, who translate the perceived image characteristics to descriptors by applying relevant mathematical functions to the image data
Choice B:Random forest classifier
Choice C:Principle component analysis
Choice D:Autoencoder
Question 4: Current commercial AI algorithms can provide:
