Learning with less data via Weakly Labeled Patch Classification in Digital Pathology
In Digital Pathology (DP), labeled data is generally very scarce due to the requirement that medical experts provide annotations. We address this issue by learning transferable features from weakly labeled data, which are collected from various parts of the body and are organized by non-medical experts. In this paper, we show that features learned from such weakly labeled datasets are indeed transferable and allow us to achieve highly competitive patch classification results on the colorectal cancer (CRC) dataset [1] and the PatchCamelyon (PCam) dataset [2] while using an order of magnitude less labeled data.

Efficient Path Prediction for Semi-Supervised and Weakly Supervised Hierarchical Text Classification
Hierarchical text classification has many real-world applications. However, labeling a large number of documents is costly. In practice, we can use semi-supervised learning or weakly supervised learning (e.g., dataless c…
