GANDLF 0.0.16.dev20230324

PyTorch-based framework that handles segmentation/regression/classification using various DL architectures for medical imaging.

GaNDLF

The Generally Nuanced Deep Learning Framework for segmentation, regression and classification.

Why use this?

• Supports multiple
  • Deep Learning model architectures
  • Data dimensions (2D/3D)
  • Channels/images/sequences
  • Prediction classes
  • Domain modalities (i.e., Radiology Scans and Digitized Histopathology Tissue Sections)
  • Problem types (segmentation, regression, classification)
  • Multi-GPU (on same machine) training
• Built-in
  • Nested cross-validation (and related combined statistics)
  • Support for parallel HPC-based computing
  • Support for training check-pointing
  • Support for Automatic mixed precision
• Robust data augmentation, courtesy of TorchIO
• Handles imbalanced classes (e.g., very small tumor in large organ)
• Leverages robust open source software
• No need to write any code to generate robust models
