Abstract

Video-based deep learning (DL) algorithms often rely on segmentation models to detect clinically important features in transthoracic echocardiograms (TTEs). While effective, these algorithms can be too data hungry for practice and may be sensitive to common data quality issues. To overcome these concerns, we present a data-efficient DL algorithm, Scaled Gumbel Softmax (SGS) EchoNet, that is robust…
