Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Experimental To verify the utility and effectiveness of our method, we perform our method on mammogram benign/malignant classification. Here the clinical attributes are those related to the masses, which are summarized in ACR (Sickles et al., 2013) and are easy to obtain. We consider four datasets (one public and three in-house) that are collected from different sources. The results on unseen domains show that our method can outperform others by 6.2%. Besides, our learned disease-related features can successfully encode the information on the lesion areas.

Pseudocode No The paper does not contain any pseudocode or clearly labeled algorithm blocks.
Open Source Code No The paper does not provide a link to open-source code for the described methodology or explicitly state that the code is being released.
Open Datasets Yes Public dataset (DDSM (Bowyer et al., 1996)) and three in-house datasets (In H1, In H2, and In H3) what we use are from different centers (center4, 1, 2, 3 respectively).
Dataset Splits Yes For each dataset, we randomly split it into training, validation, and testing sets with an 8:1:1 patient-wise ratio.
Hardware Specification No The paper does not mention any specific hardware used for running the experiments (e.g., CPU, GPU models, or cloud computing instances with specifications).
Software Dependencies No The paper mentions software like "Py Torch" and "Adam" but does not provide specific version numbers for these dependencies.
Experiment Setup Yes The weight hyperparameter in variance regularizer β is 1 in our experiments.
