• Abstract: Automated analysis of tissue sections allows a better understanding of disease biology and may reveal biomarkers that could guide prognosis or treatment selection. In digital pathology, less abundant cell types can be of biological significance, but their scarcity can result in biased and sub-optimal cell detection model. To minimize the effect of cell imbalance on cell detection, we proposed a deep learning pipeline that considers the abundance of cell types during model training. Cell weight images were generated, which assign larger weights to less abundant cells and used the weights to regularize Dice overlap loss function. The model was trained and evaluated on myeloma bone marrow trephine samples. Our model obtained a cell detection F1-score of 0.78, a 2% increase compared to baseline models, and it outperformed baseline models at detecting rare cell types. We found that scaling deep learning loss function by the abundance of cells improves cell detection performance. Our results demonstrate the importance of incorporating domain knowledge on deep learning methods for pathological data with class imbalance.

  This paper proposes a bone marrow cell detection algorithm based on the YOLOv5 network, trained by minimizing a novel loss function. The proposed novel loss function considers the similarity between bone marrow cell classes, increases the penalty for prediction errors between dissimilar classes, and reduces the penalty for prediction errors between similar classes. The results show that the proposed loss function effectively improves the algorithm's performance, and the proposed bone marrow cell detection algorithm has achieved better performance than other cell detection algorithms.
