  • Patent number: 11341370
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to training a machine learning model to classify images. An example method generally includes receiving a training data set including images in a first category and images in a second category. A convolutional neural network (CNN) is trained using the training data set, and a feature map is generated from layers of the CNN based on features of images in the training data set. A first area in the feature map including images in the first category and a second area in the feature map where images in the first category overlap with images in the second category are identified. The first category is split into a first subcategory corresponding to the first area and a second subcategory corresponding to the second area. The CNN is retrained based on the images in the first subcategory, images in the second subcategory, and images in the second category.

  • Publication number: 20220092756
    Abstract: A plurality of different images of a same region of interest in an object are input into a set of neural networks, wherein each image of the region has been captured under a different value of a variable condition. A classification for each image is generated by the set of neural networks, wherein each classification includes a confidence score in a prediction of whether a feature is present in the region. The image classifications are ensembled to generate a final classification for the region. By applying a loss function, a loss is computed based on comparing the final classification to a ground truth of whether the feature is present in the region. The parameters of the set of neural networks are adjusted based on the computed loss.
