• Title: Uncertainty Quantification for Eosinophil Segmentation
• Authors: Kevin Lin, Donald Brown, Sana Syed, Adam Greene
• Abstract summary: Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) is an allergic condition increasing in prevalence. To diagnose EoE, pathologists must find 15 or more eosinophils within a single high-power field (400X magnification). We propose an improvement of Adorno et al's approach for quantifying eosinphils using deep image segmentation.

• Abstract: Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) is an allergic condition increasing in prevalence. To diagnose EoE, pathologists must find 15 or more eosinophils within a single high-power field (400X magnification). Determining whether or not a patient has EoE can be an arduous process and any medical imaging approaches used to assist diagnosis must consider both efficiency and precision. We propose an improvement of Adorno et al's approach for quantifying eosinphils using deep image segmentation. Our new approach leverages Monte Carlo Dropout, a common approach in deep learning to reduce overfitting, to provide uncertainty quantification on current deep learning models. The uncertainty can be visualized in an output image to evaluate model performance, provide insight to how deep learning algorithms function, and assist pathologists in identifying eosinophils.

  Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic esophageal disorder marked by eosinophil-dominated inflammation. Recent advances have seen AI-assisted endoscopic imaging, guided by the EREFS system, emerge as a potential alternative to reduce reliance on invasive histologic assessments. This study seeks to improve the performance of deep learning-based EoE phenotype classification by augmenting our training data with a diverse set of images from online platforms, public datasets, and electronic textbooks.

  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.

  Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic allergic inflammatory condition of the esophagus associated with elevated esophageal eosinophils. EoE diagnosis requires enumerating the density of esophageal eosinophils in esophageal biopsies. Here, we develop an artificial intelligence platform that infers biomarkers based on semantic segmentation of intact eosinophils and basal zone distributions.
