Diagnostic classification in toxicologic pathology using attention-guided weak supervision and whole slide image features: a pilot study in rat livers by Philip Zehnder, Jeffrey Feng, Trung Nguyen, Philip Shen, Ruth Sullivan, Reina N. Fuji, Fangyao Hu

“…We propose an innovative weakly supervised learning method that leverages minimal annotations, a state-of-the-art self-supervised vision transformer for embedding extraction, and a novel guided attention mechanism that is better suited for heavily imbalanced datasets typical in toxicologic pathology. Our model demonstrates improvements in diagnostic classification and attention heatmap quality over the previously described clustering-constrained-attention multiple-instance learning method on several lesion classes in rat livers (38% improvement in AUC). …”

Eliminating the Effect of Rating Bias on Reputation Systems by Leilei Wu, Zhuoming Ren, Xiao-Long Ren, Jianlin Zhang, Linyuan Lü

“…To give an objective evaluation of each user’s reputation and uncover an object’s intrinsic quality, we propose an iterative balance (IB) method to correct users’ rating biases. Experiments on two datasets show that the IB method is a highly self-consistent and robust algorithm and it can accurately quantify movies’ actual quality and users’ stability of rating. …”
