Implementations of the subject matter described herein provide a solution for extracting spatial-temporal feature representation. In this solution, an input comprising a plurality of images is received at a first layer of a learning network. First features that characterize spatial presentation of the images are extracted from the input in a spatial dimension using a first unit of the first layer. Based on a type of a connection between the first unit and a second unit of the first layer, second features at least characterizing temporal changes across the images are extracted from the first features and/or the input in a temporal dimension using the second unit. A spatial-temporal feature representation of the images is generated partially based on the second features. Through this solution, it is possible to reduce learning network sizes, improve training and use efficiency of learning networks, and obtain accurate spatial-temporal feature representations.

Methods and systems are disclosed using improved training and learning for deep neural networks. In one example, a deep neural network includes a plurality of layers, and each layer has a plurality of nodes. The nodes of each L layer in the plurality of layers are randomly connected to nodes of an L+1 layer.

Parameters related to the nodes of each L+1 layers are updated. In another example, inputs for the input layer and labels for the output layer of a deep neural network are determined related to a first sample. A similarity between different pairs of inputs and labels is estimated using a Gaussian regression process.

A method of characterizing a serum and plasma portion of a specimen in regions occluded by one or more labels. The characterization method may be used to provide input to an HILN (H, I, and/or L, or N) detection method. The characterization method includes capturing one or more images of a labeled specimen container including a serum or plasma portion from multiple viewpoints, processing the one or more images to provide segmentation data including identification of a label-containing region, determining a closest label match of the label-containing region to a reference label configuration selected from a reference label configuration database, and generating a combined representation based on the segmentation information and the closest label match. Using the combined representation allows for compensation of the light blocking effects of the label-containing region. Quality check modules and testing apparatus and adapted to carry out the method are described, as are other aspects.
