abstract = {In recent studies, convolutional neural networks (CNNs)
outperformed dermatologists in distinguishing dermoscopic
images of melanoma and nevi. In these studies,
dermatologists and artificial intelligence were considered
as opponents. However, the combination of classifiers
frequently yields superior results, both in machine learning
and among humans. In this study, we investigated the
potential benefit of combining human and artificial
intelligence for skin cancer classification.Using 11,444
dermoscopic images, which were divided into five diagnostic
categories, novel deep learning techniques were used to
train a single CNN. Then, both 112 dermatologists of 13
German university hospitals and the trained CNN
independently classified a set of 300 biopsy-verified skin
lesions into those five classes. Taking into account the
certainty of the decisions, the two independently determined
diagnoses were combined to a new classifier with the help of
a gradient boosting method. The primary end-point of the
study was the correct classification of the images into five
designated categories, whereas the secondary end-point was
the correct classification of lesions as either benign or
malignant (binary classification).Regarding the multiclass
task, the combination of man and machine achieved an
accuracy of $82.95\%.$ This was $1.36\%$ higher than the
best of the two individual classifiers $(81.59\%$ achieved
by the CNN). Owing to the class imbalance in the binary
problem, sensitivity, but not accuracy, was examined and
demonstrated to be superior $(89\%)$ to the best individual
classifier (CNN with $86.1\%).$ The specificity in the
combined classifier decreased from $89.2\%$ to $84\%.$
However, at an equal sensitivity of $89\%,$ the CNN achieved
a specificity of only $81.5\%$ INTERPRETATION: Our findings
indicate that the combination of human and artificial
intelligence achieves superior results over the independent
results of both of these systems.},
