Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for classifying biomedical images. A feature classifier may generate a plurality of tiles from a biomedical image. Each tile may correspond to a portion of the biomedical image. The feature classifier may select a subset of tiles from the plurality of tiles by applying an inference model. The subset of tiles may have highest scores. Each score may indicate a likelihood that the corresponding tile includes a feature indicative of the presence of the condition. The feature classifier may determine a classification result for the biomedical image by applying an aggregation model. The classification result may indicate whether the biomedical includes the presence or lack of the condition.

Abstract: Systems and methods for training and using an image classifier are provided. A plurality of points can be generated from respective patches of images annotated as either a first type or a second type.

The points in the first cluster can be assigned to a class positive, the points in the second cluster can be assigned to a class negative, and the points corresponding to the images annotated as the first type can be assigned to an anchor class. A plurality of triplets can be generated based on the points in the various classes. Parameters of an image classifier can be adjusted based on a loss function of the triplets.

Abstract: An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) includes a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that has a configurable capacitor array. Based on measurements of differential nonlinearity (DNL) and/or integral nonlinearity (INL) error by an external test computer system, an order for use of the DAC's capacitors can be determined so as to reduce DNL error aggregation, also called INL. The DAC includes a switch matrix that can be programmed by programming data supplied by the test computer system.
