ICML 2023 Topological Deep Learning Challenge : Design and Results

This paper presents the computational challenge on topological deep learning that was hosted within the ICML 2023 Workshop on Topology and Geometry in Machine Learning. The competition asked participants to provide open-source implementations of topological neural networks from the literature by contributing to the python packages TopoNetX (data processing) and TopoModelX (deep learning). The challenge attracted twenty-eight qualifying submissions in its two-month duration. This paper describes the design of the challenge and summarizes its main findings.

GANs 'N Lungs: improving pneumonia prediction

We propose a novel method to improve deep learning model performance on highly-imbalanced tasks. The proposed method is based on CycleGAN to achieve balanced dataset. We show that data augmentation with GAN helps to improve accuracy of pneumonia binary classification task even if the generative network was trained on the same training dataset.
