Description

Overfitting affects model interpretation when predictions are made out of random noise. To address this issue, we introduce a novel metric – Training Attention and Validation Attention Consistency (TAVAC) – for evaluating ViT model degree of overfitting on imaging datasets and quantify the reproducibility of interpretation.

Test

While in TAVAC directory:

$ python experiments/VTransformerCrossValidationTumorPred_hugface.py --patient_id 0
$ python experiments/VTransformerCrossValidationTumorPred_hugface.py --patient_id 1

Then we can run all cells in experiments/Vit2Stage_attention_consistency-st-net_tumor_classification.ipynb

Please run all cells for tst_patient = 'Stage1' and tst_patient = 'Stage2' in cell [3] respectively

In the end, run all cells in experiments/MetricsCalculation-stnet-tumorPred.ipynb.
