Toward Aristotelian Medical Representations: Backpropagation-Free Layer-wise Analysis for Interpretable Generalized Metric Learning on MedMNIST

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2604.06017v1 Announce Type: new While deep learning has achieved remarkable success in medical imaging, the "black-box" nature of backpropagation-based models remains a significant barrier to clinical adoption. To bridge this gap, we propose Aristotelian Rapid Object Modeling (A-ROM), a framework built upon the Platonic Representation Hypothesis (PRH). This hypothesis posits that models trained on vast, diverse datasets converge toward a universal and objective representation of reality.
