• Title: Stain-Adaptive Self-Supervised Learning for Histopathology Image Analysis
• Authors: Hai-Li Ye, Da-Han Wang
• Abstract summary: We propose a novel Stain-Adaptive Self-Supervised Learning(SASSL) method for histopathology image analysis. Our SASSL integrates a domain-adversarial training module into the SSL framework to learn distinctive features that are robust to both various transformations and stain variations. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can robustly improve the feature extraction ability of the model.

• Abstract: It is commonly recognized that color variations caused by differences in stains is a critical issue for histopathology image analysis. Existing methods adopt color matching, stain separation, stain transfer or the combination of them to alleviate the stain variation problem. In this paper, we propose a novel Stain-Adaptive Self-Supervised Learning(SASSL) method for histopathology image analysis. Our SASSL integrates a domain-adversarial training module into the SSL framework to learn distinctive features that are robust to both various transformations and stain variations. The proposed SASSL is regarded as a general method for domain-invariant feature extraction which can be flexibly combined with arbitrary downstream histopathology image analysis modules (e.g. nuclei/tissue segmentation) by fine-tuning the features for specific downstream tasks. We conducted experiments on publicly available pathological image analysis datasets including the PANDA, BreastPathQ, and CAMELYON16 datasets, achieving the state-of-the-art performance. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can robustly improve the feature extraction ability of the model, and achieve stable performance improvement in downstream tasks.

  Variability in staining protocols, such as different slide preparation techniques, chemicals, and scanner configurations, can result in a diverse set of whole slide images (WSIs) This distribution shift can negatively impact the performance of deep learning models on unseen samples. We propose a method for improving the generalizability of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to stain changes in a single-source setting for semantic segmentation.

  We propose ARCO, a semi-supervised contrastive learning framework with stratified group theory for medical image segmentation. We first propose building ARCO through the concept of variance-reduced estimation and show that certain variance-reduction techniques are particularly beneficial in pixel/voxel-level segmentation tasks. We experimentally validate our approaches on eight benchmarks, i.e., five 2D/3D medical and three semantic segmentation datasets, with different label settings.
