Data

Chaoyang

• Chaoyang dataset contains 1111 normal, 842 serrated, 1404 adenocarcinoma, 664 adenoma, and 705 normal, 321 serrated, 840 adenocarcinoma, 273 adenoma samples for training and testing, respectively. (Notes: "0" means normal, "1" means serrated, "2" means adenocarinoma, and "3" means adenoma in our dataset files.)

Using instructions

• Notes: step1.py is the label correction phase, NSHE.py is the NSHE phase.

• Getting started:

  Run step1.py first to generate the "Almost clean dataset". Then run NSHE.py to train the model by the "Almost clean dataset".

  Take Chaoyang dataset as an example:

  First, run python step1.py --dataset chaoyang and get the "Almost clean dataset" file named "chaoyang_15_step1.p".

  Then, run the command below to train the model by the generated "Almost clean dataset".

  python NSHE.py --dataset chaoyang --forget_rate 0.01 --pickle_path chaoyang_15_step1.p

  (Remember to modify the dataset path before using.)
