• Abstract summary: We use Deep Learning methods to segment chromosomes that touch or overlap. We separate chromosome instances in a second stage, predicting the orientation of the chromosomes. We introduce a novel Double-Angle representation that a neural network can use to predict the orientation.

• Abstract: A difficult step in the process of karyotyping is segmenting chromosomes that touch or overlap. In an attempt to automate the process, previous studies turned to Deep Learning methods, with some formulating the task as a semantic segmentation problem. These models treat separate chromosome instances as semantic classes, which we show to be problematic, since it is uncertain which chromosome should be classed as #1 and #2. Assigning class labels based on comparison rules, such as the shorter/longer chromosome alleviates, but does not fully resolve the issue. Instead, we separate the chromosome instances in a second stage, predicting the orientation of the chromosomes by the model and use it as one of the key distinguishing factors of the chromosomes. We demonstrate this method to be effective. Furthermore, we introduce a novel Double-Angle representation that a neural network can use to predict the orientation. The representation maps any direction and its reverse to the same point. Lastly, we present a new expanded synthetic dataset, which is based on Pommier's dataset, but addresses its issues with insufficient separation between its training and testing sets.

  Homophily distribution differences between different classes are significantly greater than those in homophilic and heterophilic graphs. We introduce a new metric called Class Homophily Variance, which quantitatively describes this phenomenon. To mitigate its impact, we propose a novel GNN model named Homophily Edge Generation Graph Neural Network (HedGe)

  We introduce a novel semi-supervised 2D medical image segmentation framework termed Mine yOur owN Anatomy (MONA) First, prior work argues that every pixel equally matters to the model training; we observe empirically that this alone is unlikely to define meaningful anatomical features. Second, we construct a set of objectives that encourage the model to be capable of decomposing medical images into a collection of anatomical features.
