New hierarchical ensemble methods improve zebrafish phenotype classification

Researchers have developed and evaluated three hierarchical ensemble methods for classifying zebrafish phenotypes from embryo images. The study compared three backbone architectures: ResNet18, ViT, and ConvNeXt. ConvNeXt demonstrated the highest performance overall, with a specialized hierarchical ensemble in setup 2 achieving the best balance in F1-score, indicating its effectiveness for zebrafish phenotype recognition.

    Hierarchical Specialised Ensembles for Classification of Zebrafish Phenotypes Using the Selected Image Recognition Methods

    arXiv:2607.15698v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We propose and evaluate three hierarchical ensemble setups for zebrafish phenotype classification from embryo images. In all setups, stage 1 uses a single four-class classifier to assign images to one of the exclusive phenotypes: …
