Introduced here are diagnostic platforms able to verify subjects included in images in a time- and resource-efficient manner. By assessing the degree of consistency between multiple characterizations of an attribute that are derived from different data, a diagnostic platform can determine the likelihood that an image includes a given subject. An attribute could be characterized based on metadata that accompanies an image captured during a diagnostic session, information provided by an individual as part of the diagnostic session, an output produced by a classification model upon being applied to the image, or any combination thereof.

Cross-validation of data derived from images captured during diagnostic sessions

Machine learning models used in medical diagnosis should be validated after being deployed in order to reduce the number of misdiagnoses. Validation processes presented here assess a performance of the machine learning model post-deployment. In post-deployment validation, the validation process monitoring can include: (1) monitoring to ensure a model performs as well as a reference member such as another machine learning model, and (2) monitoring to detect anomalies in data. This post-deployment validation helps identify low-performing models that are already deployed, so that relevant parties can quickly take action to improve either the machine learning model or the input data.
