Mammo-Clustering:A Weakly Supervised Multi-view Global-Local Context Clustering Network for Detection and Classification in Mammography
<|reference_start|>Mammo-Clustering:A Weakly Supervised Multi-view Global-Local Context Clustering Network for Detection and Classification in Mammography: Breast cancer has long posed a significant threat to women's health, making early screening crucial for mitigating its impact. However, mammography, the preferred method for early screening, faces limitations such as the burden of double reading by radiologists, challenges in widespread adoption in remote and underdeveloped areas, and obstacles in intelligent early screening development due to data constraints. To address these challenges, we propose a weakly supervised multi-view mammography early screening model for breast cancer based on context clustering. Context clustering, a feature extraction structure that is neither CNN nor transformer, combined with multi-view learning for information complementation, presents a promising approach. The weak supervision design specifically addresses data limitations. Our model achieves state-of-the-art performance with fewer parameters on two public datasets, with an AUC of 0.828 on the Vindr-Mammo dataset and 0.805 on the CBIS-DDSM dataset. Our model shows potential in reducing the burden on doctors and increasing the feasibility of breast cancer screening for women in underdeveloped regions.<|reference_end|>
