A neural architecture search algorithm for volumetric (3D) segmentation of the pancreas and pancreatic tumor from CT image. This model is trained using the neural network model from the neural architecture search algorithm, DiNTS [1].
The training dataset is the Panceas Task from the Medical Segmentation Decathalon. Users can find more details on the datasets at http://medicaldecathlon.com/.
The data list/split can be created with the script scripts/prepare_datalist.py
.
python scripts/prepare_datalist.py --path /path-to-Task07_Pancreas/ --output configs/dataset_0.json
The training was performed with at least 16GB-memory GPUs.
Actual Model Input: 96 x 96 x 96
The neural architecture search was performed with the following:
The training was performed with the following:
The segmentation of pancreas region is formulated as the voxel-wise 3-class classification. Each voxel is predicted as either foreground (pancreas body, tumour) or background. And the model is optimized with gradient descent method minimizing soft dice loss and cross-entropy loss between the predicted mask and ground truth segmentation.
One channel
Three channels
Dice score is used for evaluating the performance of the model. This model achieves a mean dice score of 0.62.
The loss over 3200 epochs (the bright curve is smoothed, and the dark one is the actual curve)

Users can install Graphviz for visualization of searched architectures (needed in custom/decode_plot.py). The edges between nodes indicate global structure, and numbers next to edges represent different operations in the cell searching space. An example of searched architecture is shown as follows:
In addition to the Pythonic APIs, a few command line interfaces (CLI) are provided to interact with the bundle. The CLI supports flexible use cases, such as overriding configs at runtime and predefining arguments in a file.
