Abstract: A pathological diagnosis support device, a pathological diagnosis support program, a pathological diagnosis support method, and a pathological diagnosis support system extract a pathological tissue for diagnosis from a pathological image and diagnose the pathological tissue. A tissue collected in a pathological inspection is stained using, for example, hematoxylin and eosin. In consideration of the state of the tissue in which a cell nucleus and its peripheral constituent items are stained in respective colors unique thereto, subimages such as a cell nucleus, a pore, cytoplasm, interstitium are extracted from the pathological image, and color information of the cell nucleus is also extracted. The subimages and the color information are stored as feature candidates so that presence or absence of a tumor and benignity or malignity of the tumor are determined.

Abstract: In a clustering apparatus comprising an input unit (1) supplied with a dataset including a plurality of samples, a data processing unit (4) for processing the samples to classify each sample into a class, and an output unit (3) for producing a processing result representative of classification, a parameter memory (51) in a memory unit (5) memorizes a target parameter obtained from past experiment. A parameter estimating section (24) of the data processing unit estimates a clustering parameter by the use of the target parameter memorized in the parameter memory. An unidentifiable sample detecting section (25) of the data processing unit detects a sample as an unidentifiable sample if posterior probabilities calculated for the sample by a probability density function produced by the clustering parameter estimated by the parameter estimating section are smaller than a predetermined value.
