Description

I'm using the slicer/monailabel duo with CT images (82) and going on the single label route (several times).

As I observed the training process, I realised a possible "cheat"/"error" in the system which can be misleading: While the segmentation process is going on, I use auto-learning; every time I upload a new label to the virtual server, it restarts the learning process. The validation dice is usually great in the first 3-10 epochs.

As the learning restarts, it resets the training/validation pool. I believe the "last times" training gets into the "next times" validation pool. This is not a big problem but probably gives misleading accuracy measures.

Research direction

Start by tracing the auto-learning restart triggered when a new label is uploaded, then inspect how the training and validation pools are reset between runs. Confirm whether samples from earlier training can enter later validation, and consider the issue done when validation data remains independent across restarts.
