Uuummm not exactly. They are not coefficients. They are the actual regressed variables! Dice for hippocampus, Dice for whiter matter, Dice for cortex, etc. As for the features: we have never tried to open the “black box” of the neural network… but if you do, and you find something interesting, please share! Cheers, /Eugenio

From what I understand, the QC scores represent regressor coefficients derived from a regression algorithm. Is the main idea to use certain features extracted from the image to predict segmentation errors? If so, could you share which types of features you are using in SynthSeg?

Of course, computing the real Dice requires reference segmentations, but this estimate is pretty good at picking up bigger segmentation mistakes, insufficient field of view, etc. One way to use the QC scores is to reject the cases with one or more values under a threshold, e.g., 0.7.
