New qZACH-ViT model enhances medical image classification with improved interpretability

Researchers have developed qZACH-ViT, a new model designed for efficient and interpretable medical image classification. This model is a quantization-aware extension of the ZACH-ViT backbone, incorporating intrinsic patch-level class evidence. A novel optimization technique called Recursive Attribution-Stabilized Optimization (RASO) was also introduced to improve gradient matching and reduce conflicting attribution components. Evaluations on MedMNIST datasets demonstrated that qZACH-ViT with RASO achieved improved performance over the baseline, with significant gains in primary metrics and minimal changes in predictions after INT8 conversion.

    qZACH-ViT: Quantization-Aware Intrinsic Explanations with Recursive Attribution-Stabilized Optimization

    arXiv:2607.15421v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Compact medical-image classifiers need efficiency and interpretable evidence, yet these goals are often addressed separately. We introduce qZACH-ViT, a quantization-aware extension of the zero-token (CLS-token-free), position-free Z…
