Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and apparatuses for actively and continually fine-tuning convolutional neural networks to reduce annotation requirements, in which the trained networks are then utilized in the context of medical imaging. The success of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) in computer vision is largely attributable to the availability of massive annotated datasets, such as ImageNet and Places. However, it is tedious, laborious, and time consuming to create large annotated datasets, and demands costly, specialty-oriented skills. A novel method to naturally integrate active learning and transfer learning (fine-tuning) into a single framework is presented to dramatically reduce annotation cost, starting with a pre-trained CNN to seek “worthy” samples for annotation and gradually enhances the (fine-tuned) CNN via continual fine-tuning. The described method was evaluated using three distinct medical imaging applications, demonstrating that it can reduce annotation efforts by at least half compared with random selection.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and media for selecting candidates for annotation for use in training classifiers are provided. In some embodiments, the method comprises: identifying, for a trained Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), a group of candidate training samples, wherein each candidate training sample includes a plurality of patches; for each patch of the plurality of patches, determining a plurality of probabilities, each probability being a probability that the patch corresponds to a label of a plurality of labels; identifying a subset of the patches in the plurality of patches; for each patch in the subset of the patches, calculating a metric that indicates a variance of the probabilities assigned to each patch; selecting a subset of the candidate training samples based on the metric; labeling candidate training samples in the subset of the candidate training samples by querying an external source; and re-training the CNN using the labeled candidate training samples.

Abstract: Systems for selecting candidates for labelling and use in training a convolutional neural network (CNN) are provided, the systems comprising: a memory device; and at least one hardware processor configured to: receive a plurality of input candidates, wherein each candidate includes a plurality of identically labelled patches; and for each of the plurality of candidates: determine a plurality of probabilities, each of the plurality of probabilities being a probability that a unique patch of the plurality of identically labelled patches of the candidate corresponds to a label using a pre-trained CNN; identify a subset of candidates of the plurality of input candidates, wherein the subset does not include all of the plurality of candidates, based on the determined probabilities; query an external source to label the subset of candidates to produce labelled candidates; and train the pre-trained CNN using the labelled candidates.
