  • Publication number: 20230351192
    Abstract: A method for training a model comprises obtaining a set of labeled training samples each associated with a given label. For each labeled training sample, the method includes generating a pseudo label and estimating a weight of the labeled training sample indicative of an accuracy of the given label. The method also includes determining whether the weight of the labeled training sample satisfies a weight threshold. When the weight of the labeled training sample satisfies the weight threshold, the method includes adding the labeled training sample to a set of cleanly labeled training samples. Otherwise, the method includes adding the labeled training sample to a set of mislabeled training samples. The method includes training the model with the set of cleanly labeled training samples using corresponding given labels and the set of mislabeled training samples using corresponding pseudo labels.

  • Publication number: 20220375205
    Abstract: A method includes receiving image data including a series of image patches of an image. The method includes generating, using a first set of transformers of a vision transformer (V-T) model, a first set of higher order feature representations based on the series of image patches and aggregating the first set of higher order feature representations into a second set of higher order feature representations that is smaller than the first set. The method includes generating, using a second set of transformers of the V-T model, a third set of higher order feature representations based on the second set of higher order feature representations and aggregating the third set of higher order feature representations into a fourth set of higher order feature representations that is smaller than the third set. The method includes generating, using the V-T model, an image classification of the image based on the fourth set.

  • Patent number: 10970829
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating synthesized images are provided. An input medical image of a patient in a first domain is received. A synthesized image in a second domain is generated from the input medical image of the patient in the first domain using a first generator.

  • Publication number: 20210056417
    Abstract: A method for active learning includes obtaining a set of unlabeled training samples and for each unlabeled training sample, perturbing the unlabeled training sample to generate an augmented training sample. The method includes generating, using a machine learning model, a predicted label for both samples and determining an inconsistency value for the unlabeled training sample that represents variance between the predicted labels for the unlabeled and augmented training samples. The method includes sorting the unlabeled training samples based on the inconsistency values and obtaining, for a threshold number of samples selected from the sorted unlabeled training samples, a ground truth label. The method includes selecting a current set of labeled training samples including each selected unlabeled training samples paired with the corresponding ground truth label. The method includes training, using the current set and a proper subset of unlabeled training samples, the machine learning model.
