Abstract: Automated systems and methods for training a multilayer neural network to classify cells and regions from a set of training images are presented. Automated systems and methods for using a trained multilayer neural network to classify cells within an unlabeled image are also presented.

Abstract: Techniques relate to object classifications using bootstrapping of region-level annotations. For each of multiple images, regions within the image can be identified. For each region, a region-specific label can be identified, a set of objects within the region can be detected, and an object-specific label can be assigned to each object. The object-specific label can be the same as the region-specific label assigned to the region within which the object is located. A training data set can be defined to include, for each image of the multiple images, object-location data (indicating intra-image location data for the detected object) and label data (indicating the object-specific labels assigned to the objects). An image-processing model can be trained using the training data. Training can include learning values for a set of parameters that define calculations performed by the image-processing model.
