Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Rapid and efficient analysis of cancer has become a focus of research. Artificial intelligence can use histopathological data to quickly determine the cancer situation, but still faces challenges. For example, the convolutional network is limited by the local receptive field, human histopathological information is precious and difficult to be collected in large quantities, and cross-domain data is hard to be used to learn histopathological features. In order to alleviate the above questions, we design a novel network, Self-attention based multi-routines cross-domains network (SMC-Net).
