• Authors: Youssef Dawoud, Julia Hornauer, Gustavo Carneiro, and Vasileios Belagiannis
• Abstract summary: Automatic cell segmentation in microscopy images works well with the support of deep neural networks trained with full supervision. We propose the combination of three objective functions to segment the cells, move the segmentation results away from the classification boundary. Our experiments on five public databases show promising results from 1- to 10-shot meta-learning.

• Abstract: Automatic cell segmentation in microscopy images works well with the support of deep neural networks trained with full supervision. Collecting and annotating images, though, is not a sustainable solution for every new microscopy database and cell type. Instead, we assume that we can access a plethora of annotated image data sets from different domains (sources) and a limited number of annotated image data sets from the domain of interest (target), where each domain denotes not only different image appearance but also a different type of cell segmentation problem. We pose this problem as meta-learning where the goal is to learn a generic and adaptable few-shot learning model from the available source domain data sets and cell segmentation tasks. The model can be afterwards fine-tuned on the few annotated images of the target domain that contains different image appearance and different cell type. In our meta-learning training, we propose the combination of three objective functions to segment the cells, move the segmentation results away from the classification boundary using cross-domain tasks, and learn an invariant representation between tasks of the source domains. Our experiments on five public databases show promising results from 1- to 10-shot meta-learning using standard segmentation neural network architectures.

  We introduce object-centric embeddings (OCEs) OCEs embed image patches such that the offsets between patches cropped from the same object are preserved. We show theoretically that OCEs can be learnt through a self-supervised task that predicts the spatial offset between image patches.

  In brain mapping, learning to automatically parse images to build representations of both small-scale features and global properties is a crucial and open challenge. Our benchmark (MTNeuro) is built on volumetric, micrometer-resolution X-ray microtomography images spanning a large section of mouse brain. We generated a number of different prediction challenges and evaluated several supervised and self-supervised models for brain-region prediction and pixel-level semantic segmentation of microstructures.

In our experiments, we show that only a small number of annotated images, e.g. 10% of the original training set, is enough for our approach to reach similar performance as with the fully annotated databases on 1- to 10-shots.
