Signed Laplacian Deep Learning with Adversarial Augmentation for Improved Mammography Diagnosis

Heyi Li, Dongdong Chen, William H. Nailon et al.

Computer-aided breast cancer diagnosis in mammography is limited by inadequate data and the similarity between benign and cancerous masses. To address this, we propose a signed graph regularized deep neural network with adversarial augmentation, named \textsc{DiagNet}. Firstly, we use adversarial learning to generate positive and negative mass-contained mammograms for each mass class. After that, a signed similarity graph is built upon the expanded data to further highlight the discrimination. Finally, a deep convolutional neural network is trained by jointly optimizing the signed graph regularization and classification loss. Experiments show that the \textsc{DiagNet} framework outperforms the state-of-the-art in breast mass diagnosis in mammography.
