After a number of iterations, strong weights will be assigned to the reliable samples and weak weights to the others, producing an optimized pixel-level training set (in form of optimized sample weights).
The algorithm described in the previous section requires training signals in forms of triplets (g, g+, g-).
The available studies also provide support for the effectiveness of communication skills training in the form of improved communicative behaviors of clinicians [ 18] and higher patient satisfaction [ 19], whereas the effects in terms of patient outcomes [ 20– 22] are mixed.
