GaNDLF

The Generally Nuanced Deep Learning Framework for segmentation, regression and classification.

Why use this?

• Supports multiple
  • Deep Learning model architectures
  • Data dimensions (2D/3D)
  • Channels/images/sequences
  • Prediction classes
  • Domain modalities (i.e., Radiology Scans and Digitized Histopathology Tissue Sections)
  • Problem types (segmentation, regression, classifcation)
• Robust data augmentation, courtesy of TorchIO
• Built-in nested cross validation (and related combined statistics), with support for parallel HPC-based computing
• Handles imbalanced classes (e.g., very small tumor in large organ)
• Multi-GPU (on the same machine - distributed) training
• Leverages robust open source software
• No need to write any code to generate robust models
• Automatic mixed precision support
