New research on Oncology - Gliomas is the subject of a report. According to news reporting out of Hannover, Germany, by NewsRx editors, research stated, “Crowdsourcing has been used in computational pathology to generate cell and cell nuclei annotations for machine learning. Herein, we broaden its scope to the previously unsolved challenging task of glioma cell detection.” Funders for this research include Else Kroner-Fresenius-Stiftung, Bundesministerium fur Bildung und Forschung, Medizinische Hochschule Hannover (MHH). Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from Hannover Medical School, “This requires multiplexed immunofluorescence microscopy due to diffuse invasiveness and exceptional similarity between glioma cells and reactive astrocytes. In four pilot experiments, we iteratively developed a task design enabling high-quality annotations by crowdworkers on Amazon Mechanical Turk. We applied majority or weighted vote and validated them against ground truth in the final setting. On the base of a YOLO convolutional neural network architecture, we used these consensus labels for training with different image representations regarding colors, intensities, and immmunohistochemical marker combinations. A crowd of 712 workers defined aggregated point annotations in 235 images with an average [Formula: see text] score of 0.627 for majority vote. The networks resulted in acceptable [Formula: see text] scores up to 0.69 for YOLOv8 on average and indicated first evidence for transferability to images lacking tumor markers, especially in IDH-wildtype glioblastoma.”
