Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Cancer grading in pathology image analysis is a major task due to its importance in patient care, treatment, and management. The recent developments in artificial neural networks for computational pathology have demonstrated great potential to improve the accuracy and quality of cancer diagnosis. These improvements are generally ascribable to the advance in the architecture of the networks, often leading to increase in the computation and resources. In this work, we propose an efficient convolutional neural network that is designed to conduct multi-class cancer classification in an accurate and robust manner via metric learning.
