M.S. Paper Title: Evaluating and interpreting caption prediction for
histopathology images

Abstract:
The automatic generation of captions from medical images can provide
for an efficient way to annotate histopathology images with natural
language descriptions. Such large-scale annotation of medical images
may help facilitate image retrieval tasks and standardize clinical
ontologies. In this work, we focus on developing and methodically
evaluating a new caption generation framework for histopathology
whole-slide images. We introduce PathCap, a deep learning multi-scale
framework, to predict captions from histopathology images using
multi-scale views of whole-slide images. We demonstrate that our
framework outperforms a standard baseline caption model on a diverse
set of human tissues and provides interpretable contextual cues for
understanding predicted captions. Finally, we draw attention to a
novel dataset of histopathology images with captions from the
Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) project, providing a valuable
dataset for the machine learning and healthcare community to benchmark
future caption prediction and interpretation methods.

Renyu's advisor is Prof. Robert Grossman
