• Abstract summary: An important source of a domain shift is introduced by different microscopes and their camera systems, which noticeably change the color representation of digitized images. We present our submitted algorithm for the Mitosis Domain Generalization Challenge, which employs a RetinaNet trained with strong data augmentation and achieves an F1 score of 0.7138 on the preliminary test set.

• Abstract: Mitotic figure detection is a challenging task in digital pathology that has a direct impact on therapeutic decisions. While automated methods often achieve acceptable results under laboratory conditions, they frequently fail in the clinical deployment phase. This problem can be mainly attributed to a phenomenon called domain shift. An important source of a domain shift is introduced by different microscopes and their camera systems, which noticeably change the color representation of digitized images. In this method description we present our submitted algorithm for the Mitosis Domain Generalization Challenge, which employs a RetinaNet trained with strong data augmentation and achieves an F1 score of 0.7138 on the preliminary test set.

  We introduce Mew, a novel framework designed to efficiently process mIF images through the lens of multiplex network. Mew innovatively constructs a multiplex network comprising two distinct layers: a Voronoi network for geometric information and a Cell-type network for capturing cell-wise homogeneity. This framework equips a scalable and efficient Graph Neural Network (GNN), capable of processing the entire graph during training.

  We evaluate the robustness of the 7 best performing nuclear segmentation and classification models from the largest computational pathology challenge for this problem to date, the CoNIC challenge. We find that using stain normalization to address the domain shift problem can be detrimental to the model performance. On the other hand, neural style transfer is more consistent in improving test performance when presented with large color variations in the wild.

  This paper proposes a domain homogenizer for mitosis detection that attempts to alleviate domain differences in histology images via adversarial reconstruction of input images. We demonstrate our domain homogenizer's effectiveness by observing the reduction in domain differences between the preprocessed images. Using this homogenizer, along with a subsequent retina-net object detector, we were able to outperform the baselines of the 2021 MIDOG challenge in terms of average precision of the detected mitotic figures.

  Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) is an eye disorder primarily affecting premature infants with lower weights. It causes proliferation of vessels in the retina and could result in vision loss and, eventually, retinal detachment, leading to blindness. In recent years, there has been a significant effort to automate the diagnosis using deep learning. This paper builds upon the success of previous models and develops a novel architecture, which combines object segmentation and convolutional neural networks (CNN) Our proposed system first trains an object segmentation model to identify the demarcation line at a pixel level and adds the resulting mask as an additional "color" channel in
