The discovery of patterns associated with diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy response in digital pathology images often requires intractable labeling of large quantities of histological objects. Here we release an open-source labeling tool, PatchSorter, which integrates deep learning with an intuitive web interface. Using >100,000 objects, we demonstrate a >7x improvement in labels per second over unaided labeling, with minimal impact on labeling accuracy, thus enabling high-throughput labeling of large datasets.

Non-blind rotary motion deblurring (RMD) aims to recover the latent clear image from a rotary motion blurred (RMB) image. The rotation center is a crucial input parameter in non-blind RMD methods. Existing methods directly estimate the rotation center from the RMB image. However they always suffer significant errors, and the performance of RMD is limited. For the assembled imaging systems, the position of the rotation center remains fixed. Leveraging this prior knowledge, we propose a geometric-based method for rotation center identification and analyze its error range. Furthermore, we construct a RMB imaging system. The experiment demonstrates that our method achieves less than 1-pixel error along a single axis (x-axis or y-axis). We utilize the constructed imaging system to capture real RMB images, and experimental results show that our method can help existing RMD approaches yield better RMD images.

We present Wasserstein introspective neural networks (WINN) that are both a generator and a discriminator within a single model. WINN provides a significant improvement over the recent introspective neural networks (INN) method by enhancing INN's generative modeling capability. WINN has three interesting properties: (1) A mathematical connection between the formulation of the INN algorithm and that of Wasserstein generative adversarial networks (WGAN) is made. (2) The explicit adoption of the Wasserstein distance into INN results in a large enhancement to INN, achieving compelling results even with a single classifier --- e.g., providing nearly a 20 times reduction in model size over INN for unsupervised generative modeling. (3) When applied to supervised classification, WINN also gives rise to improved robustness against adversarial examples in terms of the error reduction. In the experiments, we report encouraging results on unsupervised learning problems including texture, face, and object modeling, as well as a supervised classification task against adversarial attacks.
