  • Patent number: 11941086
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein embodiments described herein provide Contrastive Attention-Supervised Tuning (CAST), a training method to fix the visual grounding ability of contrastive SSL methods based on a data augmentation strategy using unsupervised saliency maps. In addition to the contrastive loss that encourages the model to pick the crop that comes from the corresponding image, CAST provides an explicit grounding supervision through a Grad-CAM based attention loss that enforces models to look at the specified object of interest that is common across different crops when making this decision. A new geometric transform is introduced for randomly cropping different views from an input image based on certain constraints derived from a saliency map.

  • Patent number: 11810298
    Abstract: An analytics system uses one or more machine-learned models to predict a hormone receptor status from a H&E stain image. The system partitions H&E stain images each into a plurality of non-overlapping image tiles. Bags of tiles are created through sampling of the image tiles. For each H&E stain image, the system generates a feature vector from a bag of tiles sampled from the partitioned image tiles. The analytics system trains one or more machine-learned models with training H&E stain images having a positive or negative receptor status. With the trained models, the analytics system predicts a hormone receptor status by applying a prediction model to the feature vector for a test H&E stain image.

  • Publication number: 20230154139
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide an intelligent method to select instances, by utilizing unsupervised tracking for videos. Using this freely available form of supervision, a temporal constraint is adopted for selecting instances that ensures that different instances contain the same object while sampling the temporal augmentation from the video. In addition, using the information on the spatial extent of the tracked object, spatial constraints are applied to ensure that sampled instances overlap meaningfully with the tracked object. Taken together, these spatiotemporal constraints result in better supervisory signal for contrastive learning from videos.

  • Patent number: 11508481
    Abstract: An analytics system uses one or more machine-learned models to predict a hormone receptor status from a H&E stain image. The system partitions H&E stain images each into a plurality of image tiles. Bags of tiles are created through sampling of the image tiles. The analytics system trains one or more machine-learned models with training H&E stain images having a positive or negative receptor status. The analytics system generates, via a tile featurization model, a tile feature vector for each image tile a test bag for a test H&E stain image. The analytics system generates, via an attention model, an aggregate feature vector for the test bag by aggregating the tile feature vectors of the test bag, wherein an attention weight is determined for each tile feature vector. The analytics system predicts a hormone receptor status by applying a prediction model to the aggregate feature vector for the test bag.
