• Abstract: In many research areas, scientific progress is accelerated by multidisciplinary access to image data and their interdisciplinary annotation. However, keeping track of these annotations to ensure a high-quality multi-purpose data set is a challenging and labour intensive task. We developed the open-source online platform EXACT (EXpert Algorithm Collaboration Tool) that enables the collaborative interdisciplinary analysis of images from different domains online and offline. EXACT supports multi-gigapixel medical whole slide images as well as image series with thousands of images. The software utilises a flexible plugin system that can be adapted to diverse applications such as counting mitotic figures with a screening mode, finding false annotations on a novel validation view, or using the latest deep learning image analysis technologies. This is combined with a version control system which makes it possible to keep track of changes in the data sets and, for example, to link the results of deep learning experiments to specific data set versions. EXACT is freely available and has already been successfully applied to a broad range of annotation tasks, including highly diverse applications like deep learning supported cytology scoring, interdisciplinary multi-centre whole slide image tumour annotation, and highly specialised whale sound spectroscopy clustering.

  Single source domain generalization holds promise for more reliable and consistent image segmentation across real-world clinical settings. We propose an approach that explicitly leverages textual information by incorporating a contrastive learning mechanism guided by the text encoder features. Our approach achieves favorable performance against existing methods in literature.

  Digital whole slides images contain an enormous amount of information. Deep neural networks show high potential with respect to various tasks in the field of digital pathology. Deep learning algorithms require (manual) annotations in addition to the large amounts of image data to enable effective training. Multiple instance learning exhibits a powerful tool for learning deep neural networks in a scenario without fully annotated data.
