Metrics for discriminative localization of benign and malignant breast masses in the weakly-supervised deep learning algorithm.

Internal validation External validation
Benign Malignant P value Benign Malignant P value
VGG16 1.00 1.00
 Correct 99 100 99 100
 Incorrect 1 0 1 0
ResNet34 1.00 0.68
 Correct 99 100 96 98
 Incorrect 1 0 4 2
GoogLeNet N/A 0.25
 Correct 100 100 97 100
 Incorrect 0 0 3 0

N/A = not applicable. For discriminative localization, we created binary images by applying a threshold of 0.3 to a class activation map (CAM) and compared them with manual annotation. Discriminative localization is regarded as correct when the segmented area overlaps with the manually annotated area.
