Enhanced Loss Functions

# Combined Tumor Loss (Segmentation)
Combined_Loss = 0.5 × Focal_Tversky + 0.3 × Dice + 0.2 × BCE

# Focal Tversky (handles class imbalance)
Tversky = (TP + ε) / (TP + α·FN + (1-α)·FP + ε)
Focal_Tversky = (1 - Tversky)^γ
# α = 0.7 (penalize false negatives for medical imaging)
# γ = 0.75 (focus on hard examples)

# Boundary-Aware Loss (precise edges)
Boundary_Loss = BCE × Edge_Weight_Map

# Unified Focal Loss (best for imbalanced data)
UFC = δ × Focal_Tversky + (1-δ) × Focal_CE

# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements-web.txt

Environment Configuration

Copy the example environment file and add your credentials:

cp .env.example .env

On Windows (Command Prompt): copy .env.example .env

Edit .env and set at least:

• FLASK_SECRET_KEY — a long random string for Flask sessions
• CLOUDINARY_CLOUD_NAME, CLOUDINARY_API_KEY, CLOUDINARY_API_SECRET — from Cloudinary
• MONGO_URI (optional) — MongoDB Atlas connection string; omit to use local JSON storage

Never commit your .env file.

Run Web App

python app.py
# Open http://localhost:5000

Train Enhanced Models

jupyter notebook index.ipynb
# Run all cells - models will train with enhanced architecture

Quick Inference with TTA

from utilities import prediction, build_attention_resunet
import tensorflow as tf

# Load enhanced models
model = tf.keras.models.load_model('classifier-enhanced-best.keras')
model_seg = tf.keras.models.load_model('AttentionResUNet-v2-weights.keras')

# Run prediction with Test Time Augmentation
image_ids, masks, has_mask = prediction(test_df, model, model_seg, use_tta=True)
