Abstract(in English) Analyzing medical images with machine learning is useful not only for classifying types of diseases but for screening abnormality. Our previous work showed that a convolutional neural network (CNN) model which learned for classifying diseases detects abnormality better than a CNN model which just learned abnormality as one category. The result is regarded as that a type of disease is important information to find visual feature of abnormality in image. In this paper, we propose a hierarchical method in which a model is trained both types of diseases and abnormality simultaneously. In our method, losses for each diseases are used for training the lower layer, and a loss for abnormality calculated as simple accumulation of losses for each diseases is used for training the upper layer. Models trained by our method achieve better accuracy in both classifying diseases and screening.
