TL;DR: This work proposes an automated classification method for identifying micro-architectures in breast cancer histopathology slides using an ensemble of convolutional neural networks, constructed by combining multiple networks, trained using different data subset sampling and image perturbation models.
Abstract: Accurate analysis of tissue structures in breast cancer histopathology slides is crucial for staging treatments and predicting outcome. Such analysis depends on identification of tissue architecture in different regions, and determining the different types of cancer morphology which includes in-situ carcinoma, invasive tumor, and benign tumor. We propose an automated classification method for identifying these micro-architectures using an ensemble of convolutional neural networks. This ensemble is constructed by combining multiple networks, trained using different data subset sampling and image perturbation models. Our proposed approach results in a high performing detector with robustness to data variations.

TL;DR: This paper proposes a new hybrid convolutional and recurrent deep neural network for breast cancer histopathological image classification that outperforms the state-of-the-art method and releases a dataset that covers as many different subclasses spanning different age groups as possible, thus providing enough data diversity to alleviate the problem of relatively low classification accuracy of benign images.

TL;DR: The different approaches to deep learning in pathology, the public grand challenges that have driven this innovation and a range of emerging applications in pathology are reviewed.
Abstract: There has been an exponential growth in the application of AI in health and in pathology. This is resulting in the innovation of deep learning technologies that are specifically aimed at cellular imaging and practical applications that could transform diagnostic pathology. This paper reviews the different approaches to deep learning in pathology, the public grand challenges that have driven this innovation and a range of emerging applications in pathology. The translation of AI into clinical practice will require applications to be embedded seamlessly within digital pathology workflows, driving an integrated approach to diagnostics and providing pathologists with new tools that accelerate workflow and improve diagnostic consistency and reduce errors. The clearance of digital pathology for primary diagnosis in the US by some manufacturers provides the platform on which to deliver practical AI. AI and computational pathology will continue to mature as researchers, clinicians, industry, regulatory organizations and patient advocacy groups work together to innovate and deliver new technologies to health care providers: technologies which are better, faster, cheaper, more precise, and safe.

TL;DR: This paper reviews work on the interdisciplinary attempt of training deep neural networks using whole slide images, and highlights the different ideas underlying these methodologies.
Abstract: The widespread adoption of whole slide imaging has increased the demand for effective and efficient gigapixel image analysis. Deep learning is at the forefront of computer vision, showcasing significant improvements over previous methodologies on visual understanding. However, whole slide images have billions of pixels and suffer from high morphological heterogeneity as well as from different types of artifacts. Collectively, these impede the conventional use of deep learning. For the clinical translation of deep learning solutions to become a reality, these challenges need to be addressed. In this paper, we review work on the interdisciplinary attempt of training deep neural networks using whole slide images, and highlight the different ideas underlying these methodologies.
