Title
Using Hierarchy label classification to Chest X-ray images
Summary
Because chest diseases often has relationship with each other, I want to compare the result of hierarchy classification with flat classification on chest x-ray to see whether a relationship-cared tree label can get better results.
Aims

I aim to use both PLCO dataset and ChestX-ray dataset created by Xiaosong to get better results.

Because I used tree-based label, it will learn patterns instead of specific labels more. So it can reduce the influence of variance of radiologists.

I want to get better performance on Chest X-ray classification.
