Comparison of Loss Functions for Robust Deep Learning-based Echocardiography Segmentation when Learning with Partially Labelled Data from Multiple Domains

arXiv:2607.05008v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Echocardiography is the first imaging modality used for assessing cardiac function, and accurate segmentation of cardiac structures is essential for deriving biomarkers. However, the development of effective automated segmentation models for multiple cardiac structures is challenged by the difficulty of training on datasets from different sources that are often partially-labelled. This study aims to address this challenge by evaluating the performance of three loss functions - adaptive categorical cross entropy (aCCE) loss, marginal loss, and t

Why this matters
