U-Net-and-a-half: Convolutional network for biomedical image segmentation using multiple expert-driven annotations [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Development of deep learning systems for biomedical segmentation often requires access to expert-driven, manually annotated datasets. If more than a single expert is involved in the annotation of the same images, then the inter-expert agreement is not necessarily perfect, and no single expert annotation can precisely capture the so-called ground truth ...
