A new research paper published on arXiv highlights significant dataset contamination issues in public brain-tumor MRI classification benchmarks. The study introduces a three-layer framework to assess dataset integrity, revealing that a substantial percentage of test data is duplicated or linked to training data at the patient or acquisition-source level. Surprisingly, removing identified leaked test images did not significantly alter reported accuracy, suggesting that current benchmarks may not accurately reflect a model's ability to recognize tumors versus exploiting dataset-specific cues. The researchers have released contaminated file lists, recovered patient identifiers, and deduplicated splits to address these findings. AI
