We\ndescribe an alternative training loss which clusters weakly labeled bags in\nlatent space to inform relevance of patch-instances during training of a\nconvolutional neural network. We evaluate our method on the Camelyon dataset\nwhich contains high-resolution digital slides of breast lymph nodes, where\nlabels are provided at the image-level and only subsets of patches are made\navailable during training.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1812.00884v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1812.00884v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"cluster-based-learning-from-weakly-labeled","repo_url":"https://github.com/shaziaakbar/cluster-mil","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"tf","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"weakly-supervised-learning","task_name":"Weakly-supervised Learning"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=1812.00884","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
