• Abstract: In recent years, the research landscape of machine learning in medical imaging has changed drastically from supervised to semi-, weakly- or unsupervised methods. This is mainly due to the fact that ground-truth labels are time-consuming and expensive to obtain manually. Generating labels from patient metadata might be feasible but it suffers from user-originated errors which introduce biases. In this work, we propose an unsupervised approach for automatically clustering and categorizing large-scale medical image datasets, with a focus on cardiac MR images, and without using any labels. We investigated the end-to-end training using both class-balanced and imbalanced large-scale datasets. Our method was able to create clusters with high purity and achieved over 0.99 cluster purity on these datasets. The results demonstrate the potential of the proposed method for categorizing unstructured large medical databases, such as organizing clinical PACS systems in hospitals.

  Generalized category discovery (GCD) aims to automatically cluster partially labeled data. Unlabeled data contain instances that are not only from known categories of the labeled data but also from novel categories. One effective way for GCD is applying self-supervised learning to learn discriminate representation for unlabeled data. We propose a Dynamic Conceptional Contrastive Learning framework, which can effectively improve clustering accuracy.

  We propose an architecture for image stratification based on a conditional variational autoencoder. We use a continuous latent space to represent the continuum of disorders and find clusters during training, which can then be used for image/patient stratification. We demonstrate that our method outperforms baselines in terms of kNN accuracy measured on a classification task against a standard VAE.

  We propose a new semi-supervised adversarial method called Patch Confidence Adrial Training (PCA) for medical image segmentation. PCA learns the pixel structure and context information in each patch to get enough gradient feedback, which aids the discriminator in convergent to an optimal state. Our method outperforms the state-of-the-art semi-supervised methods, which demonstrates its effectiveness for medical image segmentation.

  We propose Vicinal Labels Under Uncertainty (VLUU) to bridge the methodological gaps in partially supervised learning (PSL) under data scarcity. Motivated by multi-task learning and vicinal risk minimization, VLUU transforms the partially supervised problem into a fully supervised problem by generating vicinal labels. Our research suggests a new research direction in label-efficient deep learning with partial supervision.
