  • Patent number: 10607122
    Abstract: Systems and techniques are disclosed for improvement of machine learning systems based on enhanced training data. An example method includes generating an interactive classification user interface concurrently displaying a first group of medical images and a second group of medical images, each group depicting objects associated with a respective classification. User input indicating movement of medical images from the first group to the second group is detected. The moved medical images are classified according to the second group. The re-classified medical images are provided to a machine learning system, with the machine learning system updating based on analysis of object characteristics of the re-classified medical images to increase accuracies associated with automated assignment of classifications.

  • Publication number: 20190172581
    Abstract: Systems and techniques are disclosed for improvement of machine learning systems based on enhanced training data. An example method includes accessing a database storing associations between objects included in medical images and classifications of the objects. A risk assessment model adapted to determine a risk condition for an object is accessed, the assessment based on features of the object. Risk conditions associated with respective objects are determined based on the risk assessment model. A group of objects associated with a first risk condition is identified. An interactive user interface is generated for display, the user interface concurrently displaying images of the group of objects. The interactive user interface enables a user to select subsets of images to be concurrently assigned a user-selected classification. User selected classifications are provided to a machine learning system adapted to update the risk assessment model based on the classifications to increase accuracy of the model.

  • Patent number: 9918686
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide automated systems and methods for segmentation of fibro-glandular (FG) tissue in digital mammography. A classifier is trained for breast density without the prior knowledge for FG tissue. The classifier is then used for feature selection, where the selected features are fed into a fuzzy logic module, and an adaptive threshold is obtained. Post-processing is performed on the image in order to reduce regions which may have been misclassified during the FG segmentation.
