IMAGE REPRESENTATION LEARNING IN DIGITAL PATHOLOGY
Described herein are systems, methods, and programming for analyzing and classifying digital pathology images. Some embodiments include receiving whole slide images (WSIs) and dividing each of the WSIs into tiles. For each WSI, a random subset of the tiles may be selected and augmented views of each of the selected tiles may be generated. For each of the selected tiles, a first convolutional neural network (CNN) may be trained to: generate, using a first one of the augmented views corresponding to the selected tile, a first representation of the selected tile, and predict a second representation of the selected tile to be generated by a second CNN, wherein the second representation is generated based on a second one of the augmented views of the selected tile.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ANALYZING ELECTRONIC IMAGES FOR QUALITY CONTROL
Systems and methods are disclosed for receiving a digital image corresponding to a target specimen associated with a pathology category, determining a quality control (QC) machine learning model to predict a quality designation based on one or more artifacts, providing the digital image as an input to the QC machine learning model, receiving the quality designation for the digital image as an output from the machine learning model, and outputting the quality designation of the digital image. A quality assurance (QA) machine learning model may predict a disease designation based on one or more biomarkers. The digital image may be provided to the QA model which may output a disease designation. An external designation may be compared to the disease designation and a comparison result may be output.
