  • Multiple Instance Learning for Histopathological Image Classification

    Creator:
    Lai, Phung
    Abstract:
    In histopathological image analysis, image classification as well as pattern detection play a crucial role in the diagnosis and treatment process since the goal is to not only differentiate cancer types but also identify cancerous manifestations. Fully supervised learning strategies tend to address these problems using manually annotated cancerous regions...
