Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Recognizing different tissue components is one of the most fundamental and essential works in digital pathology. Current methods are often based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs), which need numerous annotated samples for training. Creating large-scale histopathological datasets is labor-intensive, where interactive data annotation is a potential solution.
