Robust Lightweight Deep Learning Models for Oral Cancer Screening
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.21583v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Oral cancer is a leading cause of mortality in low-to-middle-income countries, where a shortage of specialists delays diagnosis. While point-of-care screening via smartphones offers a scalable solution, developing robust AI for resource-constrained settings poses significant challenges, including class imbalance in training data, variable data quality, and computational constraints on edge devices. In this paper, we present the optimisation of lightweight deep learning models for smartphone-based oral cancer screening. Using a diverse, multi-cent
