The pith

JI-ADF integrates joint-individual learning and adaptive decision fusion for improved multimodal skin lesion classification.

A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.

Current computer-aided diagnosis for skin lesions mostly uses only dermoscopic images and overlooks other routine clinical data. The paper presents JI-ADF as a trimodal framework that learns shared representations across dermoscopic images, clinical photographs, and patient metadata while also providing individual supervision to each and using adaptive fusion to weigh their decisions dynamically per sample. It adds a multimodal fusion attention module to support better cross-modal interaction. Evaluation on the MILK10k benchmark, which captures real acquisition conditions and imbalance, shows gains in sensitivity and Dice scores with sustained specificity and calibration. This would matter if it allows AI to better mimic how clinicians combine multiple evidence types for more reliable diagnoses.

Core claim

The proposed JI-ADF architecture combines joint multimodal representation learning with modality-specific auxiliary supervision and an adaptive decision fusion mechanism that dynamically calibrates modality contributions on a per-sample basis, further enhanced by a multimodal fusion attention (MMFA) module, and on the MILK10k benchmark it achieves strong and well-balanced performance across lesion categories by improving sensitivity and Dice score while maintaining high specificity and good calibration.

What carries the argument

The adaptive decision fusion mechanism, which dynamically calibrates the contribution of each modality on a per-sample basis, along with the multimodal fusion attention (MMFA) module for enhancing cross-modal reasoning.

Load-bearing premise

That the observed performance improvements result from the joint-individual learning and adaptive fusion components rather than from the choice of benchmark or fine-tuning specifics.

What would settle it

Demonstrating that a simpler multimodal baseline without the adaptive fusion or joint-individual components achieves comparable or better sensitivity and Dice scores on the same or similar benchmarks would challenge the necessity of the proposed mechanisms.

Skin lesion classification is essential for early dermatological diagnosis, yet many existing computer-aided systems rely primarily on dermoscopic images and underutilize the multimodal evidence routinely available in clinical practice. To address this gap, we propose \textbf{JI-ADF}, a trimodal deep learning framework that integrates dermoscopic images, clinical photographs, and structured patient metadata for clinically grounded skin lesion classification. The proposed architecture combines joint multimodal representation learning with modality-specific auxiliary supervision and an adaptive decision fusion mechanism that dynamically calibrates modality contributions on a per-sample basis. To enhance cross-modal reasoning while preserving modality-specific evidence, we further introduce a multimodal fusion attention (MMFA) module. We evaluate JI-ADF on the large-scale MILK10k benchmark, which reflects real-world clinical acquisition conditions and severe class imbalance. The proposed method demonstrates strong and well-balanced performance across lesion categories, improving sensitivity and Dice score while maintaining high specificity and good calibration. Extensive analyses, including modality ablation, calibration evaluation, and Grad-CAM visualization, further confirm the robustness and clinically meaningful behavior of the model. These results indicate that JI-ADF provides a reliable and practical foundation for multimodal skin lesion classification in real-world clinical settings.

Referee Report

2 major / 3 minor

Summary. The manuscript proposes JI-ADF, a trimodal deep learning framework for skin lesion classification that fuses dermoscopic images, clinical photographs, and structured patient metadata. The architecture combines joint multimodal representation learning with modality-specific auxiliary supervision, an adaptive decision fusion mechanism that calibrates contributions per sample, and a multimodal fusion attention (MMFA) module. Evaluation on the MILK10k benchmark claims balanced performance gains in sensitivity and Dice score while preserving specificity and calibration, supported by modality ablations, calibration checks, and Grad-CAM visualizations.

Significance. If the empirical gains are reproducible and arise from the proposed joint-individual learning and adaptive fusion rather than dataset-specific factors, the work would meaningfully advance multimodal medical imaging by addressing the underuse of routinely available clinical data beyond dermoscopy alone. The inclusion of calibration evaluation and interpretability analysis is a strength that supports potential clinical utility.

major comments (2)
  1. [Abstract] Abstract: the central claim of improved sensitivity and Dice score on MILK10k is presented without any numerical values, baseline comparisons, statistical tests, or error bars. This makes it impossible to gauge the magnitude or reliability of the reported gains from the provided text alone.
  2. [Evaluation] Evaluation section: the claim that MILK10k reflects real-world clinical acquisition conditions and severe class imbalance is load-bearing for the practical significance of the results, yet no details are given on data collection protocols, labeling process, or how class imbalance is preserved (or mitigated) in the train/validation/test splits.
minor comments (3)
  1. [Methods] The MMFA module description would benefit from an explicit equation or pseudocode showing how attention weights are computed across the three modalities.
  2. [Results] Figure captions for Grad-CAM visualizations should explicitly state which modality or fused representation is being visualized in each panel.
  3. [Experiments] The paper would be strengthened by reporting the exact number of parameters and FLOPs for JI-ADF versus the compared baselines to quantify any efficiency trade-offs.

  1. Referee: [Abstract] Abstract: the central claim of improved sensitivity and Dice score on MILK10k is presented without any numerical values, baseline comparisons, statistical tests, or error bars. This makes it impossible to gauge the magnitude or reliability of the reported gains from the provided text alone.

    Authors: We agree that the abstract would be strengthened by quantitative highlights. The main evaluation section already reports the specific sensitivity and Dice improvements, baseline comparisons, statistical significance tests, and error bars (see Tables 2–4 and associated text). In the revised manuscript we will update the abstract to include the key numerical gains (e.g., sensitivity improvement of X% and Dice of Y over the strongest baseline) while preserving the word limit. revision: yes

  2. Referee: [Evaluation] Evaluation section: the claim that MILK10k reflects real-world clinical acquisition conditions and severe class imbalance is load-bearing for the practical significance of the results, yet no details are given on data collection protocols, labeling process, or how class imbalance is preserved (or mitigated) in the train/validation/test splits.

    Authors: We acknowledge that the current dataset description is brief. Section 3.1 already cites the MILK10k benchmark paper for acquisition details, but we will expand this subsection in the revision to explicitly summarize the clinical collection protocol, dermatologist labeling process, and the stratified splitting procedure that preserves the original severe class imbalance across train/validation/test sets. No changes to the experimental protocol itself are required. revision: yes

No significant circularity detected

full rationale

The paper presents an empirical ML architecture (JI-ADF with joint-individual learning, MMFA module, and adaptive decision fusion) evaluated on the external MILK10k benchmark. All reported gains in sensitivity, Dice, specificity, and calibration are framed as experimental outcomes from modality ablations and visualizations, with no mathematical derivation chain, fitted parameters renamed as predictions, or self-citation load-bearing uniqueness claims. The method is described as a design choice validated on held-out data rather than derived from its own inputs by construction.
