• Title: Diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori using AutoEncoders for the Detection of Anomalous Staining Patterns in Immunohistochemistry Images
• Abstract summary: Helicobacter pylori a bacterium classified since 1994 as class 1 carcinogen to humans. We propose to use autoencoders to learn latent patterns of healthy tissue and detect H. pylori as an anomaly in image staining. In particular, our model has an overall 91% of accuracy with 86% sensitivity, 96% specificity and 0.97 AUC in the detection of H. pylori.

• Abstract: This work addresses the detection of Helicobacter pylori a bacterium classified since 1994 as class 1 carcinogen to humans. By its highest specificity and sensitivity, the preferred diagnosis technique is the analysis of histological images with immunohistochemical staining, a process in which certain stained antibodies bind to antigens of the biological element of interest. This analysis is a time demanding task, which is currently done by an expert pathologist that visually inspects the digitized samples. We propose to use autoencoders to learn latent patterns of healthy tissue and detect H. pylori as an anomaly in image staining. Unlike existing classification approaches, an autoencoder is able to learn patterns in an unsupervised manner (without the need of image annotations) with high performance. In particular, our model has an overall 91% of accuracy with 86\% sensitivity, 96% specificity and 0.97 AUC in the detection of H. pylori.

  This work addresses the detection of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) in histological images withchemical staining. We propose to use autoencoders to learn the latent patterns of healthy patches and formulate a specific measure of the reconstruction error of the image in HSV space. ROC analysis is used to set the optimal threshold of this measure and the percentage of positive patches in a sample that determines the presence of H. pylori.

  Bacteria that exhibit swarming capabilities often possess unique properties crucial to the pathogenesis of infectious diseases. Here, we report a deep learning-based swarming classifier that rapidly and autonomously predicts swarming probability using a single blurry image. This adaptation would facilitate rapid, objective, on-site screening for bacterial swarming motility, potentially enhancing the early detection and treatment assessment of various diseases.
