Improving Generalization for Hyperspectral Image Classification: The Impact of Disjoint Sampling on Deep Models (2024)
Journal Article
Ahmad, M., Mazzara, M., Distefano, S., Khan, A. M., & Altuwaijri, H. A. (2024). Improving Generalization for Hyperspectral Image Classification: The Impact of Disjoint Sampling on Deep Models. Computers, Materials & Continua, 81(1), 503-532. https://doi.org/10.32604/cmc.2024.056318

Disjoint sampling is critical for rigorous and unbiased evaluation of state-of-the-art (SOTA) models e.g., Attention Graph and Vision Transformer. When training, validation, and test sets overlap or share data, it introduces a bias that inflates perf...
