  • Patent number: 11842483
    Abstract: According to various embodiments, a system and method for processing an image of a biological specimen stained for a presence of at least one lymphocyte biomarker is disclosed. The system and method are configured to detect lymphocytes in the image and compute a foreground segmentation mask based on the lymphocytes detected within the image. Outlines of the detected lymphocytes are identified in the image by filtering the image with the computed foreground segmentation mask. A shape metric may be derived for each of the detected lymphocytes based on the identified lymphocytes outlines. The derived shape metric may be associated with location information for each of the detected lymphocytes and a value of each of the derived shape metric may be compared to a predetermined threshold value. A predictive cell motility label may be assigned to each of the detected lymphocytes based on the comparison.

  • Patent number: 11836187
    Abstract: In implementations of systems for generating occurrence contexts for objects in digital content collections, a computing device implements a context system to receive context request data describing an object that is depicted with additional objects in digital images of a digital content collection. The context system generates relationship embeddings for the object and each of the additional objects using a representation learning model trained to predict relationships for objects. A relationship graph is formed for the object that includes a vertex for each relationship between the object and the additional objects indicated by the relationship embeddings. The context system clusters the vertices of the relationship graph into contextual clusters that each represent an occurrence context of the object in the digital images of the digital content collection.
