Leukemia detection benchmarks flawed by data leakage, study finds

A new research paper highlights significant data leakage issues in existing benchmarks for leukemia detection using machine learning models. The study establishes a more rigorous subject-disjoint evaluation protocol, revealing that previous near-perfect performance metrics were inflated due to cells from the same patient appearing in both training and testing sets. Under this stricter protocol, EfficientNet-B1 emerged as the top performer, though its results still underscore the need for careful validation in medical image analysis. AI

    A Leakage-Aware Comparative Benchmark of Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and Transformer Models for Reliable Leukemia Detection

    arXiv:2606.24944v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Automated classification of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) from peripheral blood smear images has often reported near-perfect performance on the C-NMC 2019 dataset. We show that such results can be inflated by patient-level da…
