In this paper a study about breast cancer detection is presented. Mammography images in DICOM format are processed using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to get a pre-diagnosis. Of course, this preliminary result needs to be checked by a trained radiologist. CNNs are trained and checked using a big database that is publicly available. Standard measurements for success are computed (accuracy, precision, recall) obtaining outstanding results better than other examples from the literature.

Matching journals

The top 4 journals account for 50% of the predicted probability mass.

50% of probability mass above

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
