Article Citation - WoS: 24Citation - Scopus: 30Improved Classification of Colorectal Polyps on Histopathological Images With Ensemble Learning and Stain Normalization(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2023-04) Yengec-Tasdemir, Sena Busra; Aydin, Zafer; Akay, Ebru; Dogan, Serkan; Yilmaz, BulentBackground and Objective: Early detection of colon adenomatous polyps is critically important because correct detection of it significantly reduces the potential of developing colon cancers in the future. The key challenge in the detection of adenomatous polyps is differentiating it from its visually similar counterpart, non-adenomatous tissues. Currently, it solely depends on the experience of the pathologist. To assist the pathologists, the objective of this work is to provide a novel non-knowledge-based Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) for improved detection of adenomatous polyps on colon histopathology images. Methods: The domain shift problem arises when the train and test data are coming from different distributions of diverse settings and unequal color levels. This problem, which can be tackled by stain normalization techniques, restricts the machine learning models to attain higher classification accuracies. In this work, the proposed method integrates stain normalization techniques with ensemble of competitively accurate, scalable and robust variants of CNNs, ConvNexts. The improvement is empirically analyzed for five widely employed stain normalization techniques. The classification performance of the proposed method is evaluated on three datasets comprising more than 10k colon histopathology images. Results: The comprehensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms the stateof-the-art deep convolutional neural network based models by attaining 95% classification accuracy on the curated dataset, and 91.1% and 90% on EBHI and UniToPatho public datasets, respectively. Conclusions: These results show that the proposed method can accurately classify colon adenomatous polyps on histopathology images. It retains remarkable performance scores even for different datasets coming from different distributions. This indicates that the model has a notable generalization ability. (c) 2023 Elsevier B.V.

Incorporating class label information contained in templates with known structures has the potential to improve the accuracy of prediction methods. Building a structural profile matrix is one such technique that provides a distribution for class labels at each amino acid position of the target. Results: In this paper, a new structural profiling technique is proposed that is based on deriving PFAM families and is combined with an existing approach. Cross-validation experiments on two benchmark datasets and at various similarity intervals demonstrate that the proposed profiling strategy performs significantly better than Homolpro, a state-of-the-art method for incorporating template information, as assessed by statistical hypothesis tests.Article Citation - Scopus: 15An Effective Colorectal Polyp Classification for Histopathological Images Based on Supervised Contrastive Learning(Elsevier Ltd, 2024-04) Yengec-Tasdemir, Sena Busra; Aydin, Zafer; Akay, Ebru; Doǧan, Serkan; Yilmaz, BulentEarly detection of colon adenomatous polyps is pivotal in reducing colon cancer risk. In this context, accurately distinguishing between adenomatous polyp subtypes, especially tubular and tubulovillous, from hyperplastic variants is crucial. This study introduces a cutting-edge computer-aided diagnosis system optimized for this task. Our system employs advanced Supervised Contrastive learning to ensure precise classification of colon histopathology images. Significantly, we have integrated the Big Transfer model, which has gained prominence for its exemplary adaptability to visual tasks in medical imaging. Our novel approach discerns between in-class and out-of-class images, thereby elevating its discriminatory power for polyp subtypes. We validated our system using two datasets: a specially curated one and the publicly accessible UniToPatho dataset. The results reveal that our model markedly surpasses traditional deep convolutional neural networks, registering classification accuracies of 87.1% and 70.3% for the custom and UniToPatho datasets, respectively. Such results emphasize the transformative potential of our model in polyp classification endeavors. © 2024 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 13A Continuously Benchmarked and Crowdsourced Challenge for Rapid Development and Evaluation of Models to Predict COVID-19 Diagnosis and Hospitalization(Amer Medical Assoc, 2021-10-11) Yan, Yao; Schaffter, Thomas; Bergquist, Timothy; Yu, Thomas; Prosser, Justin; Aydin, Zafer; Mooney, SeanIMPORTANCE Machine learning could be used to predict the likelihood of diagnosis and severity of illness. Lack of COVID-19 patient data has hindered the data science community in developing models to aid in the response to the pandemic. OBJECTIVES To describe the rapid development and evaluation of clinical algorithms to predict COVID-19 diagnosis and hospitalization using patient data by citizen scientists, provide an unbiased assessment of model performance, and benchmark model performance on subgroups. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This diagnostic and prognostic study operated a continuous, crowdsourced challenge using a model-to-data approach to securely enable the use of regularly updated COVID-19 patient data from the University of Washington by participants from May 6 to December 23, 2020. A postchallenge analysis was conducted from December 24, 2020, to April 7, 2021, to assess the generalizability of models on the cumulative data set as well as subgroups stratified by age, sex, race, and time of COVID-19 test. By December 23, 2020, this challenge engaged 482 participants from 90 teams and 7 countries. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Machine learning algorithms used patient data and output a score that represented the probability of patients receiving a positive COVID-19 test result or being hospitalized within 21 days after receiving a positive COVID-19 test result. Algorithms were evaluated using area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) and area under the precision recall curve (AUPRC) scores. Ensemble models aggregating models from the top challenge teams were developed and evaluated. RESULTS In the analysis using the cumulative data set, the best performance for COVID-19 diagnosis prediction was an AUROC of 0.776 (95% CI, 0.775-0.777) and an AUPRC of 0.297, and for hospitalization prediction, an AUROC of 0.796 (95% CI, 0.794-0.798) and an AUPRC of 0.188. Analysis on top models submitting to the challenge showed consistently better model performance on the female group than the male group. Among all age groups, the best performance was obtained for the 25- to 49-year age group, and the worst performance was obtained for the group aged 17 years or younger. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE In this diagnostic and prognostic study, models submitted by citizen scientists achieved high performance for the prediction of COVID-19 testing and hospitalization outcomes. Evaluation of challenge models on demographic subgroups and prospective data revealed performance discrepancies, providing insights into the potential bias and limitations in the models.
