Automated grading of embroidery assignments: a multi-region deep learning framework with ResNet-50.
Article in BMC medical education, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundManual grading of dental students’ embroidery assignments is not only labor-intensive but also subjective. To address these limitations, our study proposes an automated grading model based on ResNet-50 architecture enhanced with a multi-region aggregation mechanism. This approach aims to standardize the grading process, improve fairness and efficiency in assessment.
methodsA total of 381 embroidery assignment images were collected from the 2020–2023 student cohorts. The 2022 cohort was designated as an external test set to assess model generalization with different data distributions. We proposed a multi-region aggregation mechanism based on ResNet-50 and compared two aggregation strategies: multi-head attention (MHA) aggregation and average weighting (AW) aggregation. VGG-16, DenseNet-121, ViT, and ResNet-50 were considered as baseline models. All models were trained using 5-fold cross-validation, employing a weighted CrossEntropyLoss to address class imbalance, with evaluation metrics including accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score.
resultsThe ResNet-50 AW model achieved the highest test accuracy of 80% on the test set, while the ViT and the VGG-16 models achieved 75%, second to ResNet-50 AW. Although models’ performance degraded on the external test set, ResNet-50 AW maintained the highest accuracy of 64% and reduced misclassifications of grade B and C samples. Despite excelling on the validation set, ResNet-50 MHA showed similar performance to ResNet-50 on the test set. ViT and VGG-16 achieved higher accuracy for grade A on both the test set and the external test set.
conclusionThe ResNet-50 AW model highlights the potential of deep learning methods to automate the grading of artistic assignments via a multi-region aggregation mechanism. Further validation of the model’s generalization is needed. Future work should improve dataset quality and diversity and enhance system interpretability to refine the grading process for greater accuracy and transparency.
