arXiv:2606.00180v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deep learning-based Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) detection using Electroencephalography (EEG) is fundamentally constrained by the "small-sample dilemma." Prevailing generative data augmentation methods not only incur heavy computational overhead but also risk introducing synthetic noise, thereby blurring classification boundaries. To challenge the traditional "data quantity first" convention, we propose a novel framework "Beyond Augmentation": Score-Guided Classification (SGC). SGC does not synthesize pseudo-samples; instead, it utilizes an un
This research is emerging as deep learning models face increasing computational and data constraints for medical applications, driving innovation beyond traditional data augmentation techniques.
A strategic reader should care because this approach could significantly improve AI's reliability and efficiency in medical diagnostics, especially for conditions with limited data, by focusing on quality over quantity.
The paradigm shifts from brute-force data augmentation to more intelligent, score-guided classification, potentially reducing computational overhead and synthetic noise in medical AI.
