Interpretable and backpropagation-free Green Learning for efficient multi-task echocardiographic segmentation and classification
arXiv:2601.19743v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Echocardiography is a cornerstone for managing heart failure (HF), with Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) being a critical metric for guiding therapy. However, manual LVEF assessment suffers from high inter-observer variability, while existing Deep Learning (DL) models are often computationally intensive and data-hungry "black boxes" that impede clinical trust and adoption. Here, we propose a backpropagation-free multi-task Green Learning (MTGL) framework that performs simultaneous Left Ventricle (LV) segmentation and LVEF class
The continuous push for more efficient and interpretable AI in critical applications like healthcare is driving new research into 'Green Learning' methods.
This work addresses key limitations of current deep learning models in healthcare—computational intensity, data hunger, and lack of interpretability—which hinder clinical adoption.
The development of backpropagation-free and Green Learning AI frameworks could lead to more accessible, trustworthy, and efficient diagnostic tools in healthcare.
