Model Summary
This ablation removes the PFD-B / GSTE-B guidance pathway for matched comparison with Hybrid B.
The checkpoint is a PyTorch hybrid CNN–Transformer model for four-class brain MRI classification:
- glioma
- meningioma
- pituitary
- notumor

Evaluation Summary
Recorded held-out test-set performance from the project repository:
| Model | Test Accuracy | Macro F1 |
|---|
| Ablation Without PFD-B / GSTE-B | 0.9922 | 0.9920 |
Intended Use
This model is released for research reproducibility, educational inspection, and comparison with the associated guided and ablation variants.
Limitations
- The model was evaluated on a single benchmark curation.
- The checkpoint is not externally clinically validated.
- Grad-CAM++ and attention rollout are qualitative inspection tools, not clinical annotations.
- Outputs may be incorrect and should not be used for medical decision-making.
- The dataset is not redistributed in this model repository; users should follow the GitHub reproduction instructions to obtain the benchmark dataset separately.
Medical Disclaimer
This model is for research and educational use only. It is not a certified medical device and must not be used for clinical diagnosis, patient management, treatment decisions, or emergency medical use.
