    Abstract The incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC), one of the deadliest cancers around the world, is increasing. Tissue microenvironment (TME) features such as tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) can have a crucial impact on diagnosis or decision-making for treating patients with CRC. While clinical studies showed that TILs improve the host immune response, leading to a better prognosis, inter-observer agreement for quantifying TILs is not perfect. Incorporating machine learning (ML) based applications in clinical routine may promote diagnosis reliability. Recently, ML has shown potential for making progress in routine clinical procedures. We aim to systematically review the TILs analysis based on ML in CRC histological images. Deep learning (DL) and non-DL techniques can aid pathologists in identifying TILs, and automated TILs are associated with patient outcomes. However, a large multi-institutional CRC dataset with a diverse and multi-ethnic population is necessary to generalize ML methods.

    Abstract In many real-world prediction tasks, class labels contain information about the relative order between labels that are not captured by commonly used loss functions such as multicategory cross-entropy. Recently, the preference for unimodal distributions in the output space has been incorporated into models and loss functions to account for such ordering information. However, current approaches rely on heuristics that lack a theoretical foundation. Here, we propose two new approaches to incorporate the preference for unimodal distributions into the predictive model. We analyse the set of unimodal distributions in the probability simplex and establish fundamental properties. We then propose a new architecture that imposes unimodal distributions and a new loss term that relies on the notion of projection in a set to promote unimodality. Experiments show the new architecture achieves top-2 performance, while the proposed new loss term is very competitive while maintaining high unimodality.

    Abstract Cervical cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women, especially in low to middle-income countries. Despite the outburst of recent scientific advances, there is no totally effective treatment, especially when diagnosed in an advanced stage. Screening tests, such as cytology or colposcopy, have been responsible for a substantial decrease in cervical cancer deaths. Cervical cancer automatic screening via Pap smear is a highly valuable cell imaging-based detection tool, where cells must be classified as being within one of a multitude of ordinal classes, ranging from abnormal to normal. Current approaches to ordinal inference for neural networks are found to not sufficiently take advantage of the ordinal problem or to be too uncompromising. A non-parametric ordinal loss for neuronal networks is proposed that promotes the output probabilities to follow a unimodal distribution. This is done by imposing a set of different constraints over all pairs of consecutive labels which allows for a more flexible decision boundary relative to approaches from the literature. Our proposed loss is contrasted against other methods from the literature by using a plethora of deep architectures. A first conclusion is the benefit of using non-parametric ordinal losses against parametric losses in cervical cancer risk prediction. Additionally, the proposed loss is found to be the top-performer in several cases. The best performing model scores an accuracy of 75.6% for seven classes and 81.3% for four classes.

    Abstract Manual assessment of fragments during the pro-cessing of pathology specimens is critical to ensure that the material available for slide analysis matches that captured during grossing without losing valuable material during this process. However, this step is still performed manually, resulting in lost time and delays in making the complete case available for evaluation by the pathologist. To overcome this limitation, we developed an autonomous system that can detect and count the number of fragments contained on each slide. We applied and compared two different methods: conventional machine learning methods and deep convolutional network methods. For conventional machine learning methods, we tested a two-stage approach with a supervised classifier followed by unsupervised hierarchical clustering. In addition, Fast R-CNN and YOLOv5, two state-of-the-art deep learning models for detection, were used and compared. All experiments were performed on a dataset comprising 1276 images of colorec-tal biopsy and polypectomy specimens manually labeled for fragment/set detection. The best results were obtained with the YOLOv5 architecture with a map@0.5 of 0.977 for fragment/set detection.
