• Abstract summary: We propose a pre-trained deep neural network that uses a small set of labeled data from the target domain to select the most informative samples to label next. We demonstrate that our approach performs with significantly fewer labeled samples compared to traditional supervised learning approaches for similar F1-scores.

• Abstract: Accurate segmentation of tissue in histopathological images can be very beneficial for defining regions of interest (ROI) for streamline of diagnostic and prognostic tasks. Still, adapting to different domains is essential for histopathology image analysis, as the visual characteristics of tissues can vary significantly across datasets. Yet, acquiring sufficient annotated data in the medical domain is cumbersome and time-consuming. The labeling effort can be significantly reduced by leveraging active learning, which enables the selective annotation of the most informative samples. Our proposed method allows for fine-tuning a pre-trained deep neural network using a small set of labeled data from the target domain, while also actively selecting the most informative samples to label next. We demonstrate that our approach performs with significantly fewer labeled samples compared to traditional supervised learning approaches for similar F1-scores, using barely a 59\% of the training set. We also investigate the distribution of class balance to establish annotation guidelines.

  We propose a new method that employs transfer learning techniques to correct sampling selection errors introduced by sparse annotations during supervised learning for automated tumor segmentation. The proposed method derives high-quality classifiers for the different tissue classes from sparse and unambiguous annotations. Compared to training on fully labeled data, we reduced the time for labeling and training by a factor greater than 70 and 180 respectively without sacrificing accuracy.

  Medical image segmentation aims to identify and locate abnormal structures in medical images, such as chest radiographs, using deep neural networks. Our work collects explanations from well-trained classifiers to generate pseudo labels of segmentation tasks. We then use Integrated Gradients (IG) method to distill and boost the explanations obtained from the classifiers, generating massive diagnosis-oriented localization labels (DoLL) These DoLL-annotated images are used for pre-training the model before fine-tuning it for downstream segmentation tasks, including COVID-19 infectious areas, lungs, heart, and clavicles.

  We compare various transfer learning strategies and deep learning architectures for computer-aided classification of adult-type diffuse gliomas. A semi-supervised learning approach is proposed, where the fine-tuned models are utilized to predict the labels of unannotated regions of the whole slide images. The models are subsequently retrained using the ground-truth labels and weak labels determined in the previous step, providing superior performance in comparison to standard in-domain transfer learning.

  We train an attention-based MIL and calculate a confidence metric for every image in the dataset to select the most uncertain WSIs for expert annotation. With a novel attention guiding loss, this leads to an accuracy boost of the trained models with few regions annotated for each class. It may in the future serve as an important contribution to train MIL models in the clinically relevant context of cancer classification in histopathology.
