• Abstract summary: We use a single, pre-trained, deep embeddings extractor to convert images into deep features. We also train small, dedicated classification head on these embeddings for each classification task. This approach offers several benefits such as the ability to reuse a single pre-trained deep network for various tasks.

• Abstract: In biomedical imaging, deep learning-based methods are state-of-the-art for every modality (virtual slides, MRI, etc.) In histopathology, these methods can be used to detect certain biomarkers or classify lesions. However, such techniques require large amounts of data to train high-performing models which can be intrinsically difficult to acquire, especially when it comes to scarce biomarkers. To address this challenge, we use a single, pre-trained, deep embeddings extractor to convert images into deep features and train small, dedicated classification head on these embeddings for each classification task. This approach offers several benefits such as the ability to reuse a single pre-trained deep network for various tasks; reducing the amount of labeled data needed as classification heads have fewer parameters; and accelerating training time by up to 1000 times, which allows for much more tuning of the classification head. In this work, we perform an extensive comparison of various open-source backbones and assess their fit to the target histological image domain. This is achieved using a novel method based on a proxy classification task. We demonstrate that thanks to this selection method, an optimal feature extractor can be selected for different tasks on the target domain. We also introduce a feature space augmentation strategy which proves to substantially improve the final metrics computed for the different tasks considered. To demonstrate the benefit of such backbone selection and feature-space augmentation, our experiments are carried out on three separate classification tasks and show a clear improvement on each of them: microcalcifications (29.1% F1-score increase), lymph nodes metastasis (12.5% F1-score increase), mitosis (15.0% F1-score increase).

  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.

A meta-reinforcement learning algorithm is proposed with multiple MDPs, such that the pre-trained controller can be adapted to a new MDP. We show that the proposed adaptable prioritisation metric yields converging segmentation accuracy for the novel class of kidney.
