Abstract
The assignee for this patent application is Shanghai United Imaging Intelligence Co. Ltd. (Shanghai,People’s Republic of China).Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors:“Having annotated data is crucial to the training of machine-l earning (ML) models or artificial neuralnetworks. Conventional ways of data ann otation rely heavily on manual work (e.g., by qualified annotatorssuch as radio logists if the data includes medical images) and even when computer-based tools are provided,they still require a tremendous amount of human effort (e.g., mous e clicking, drag-and-drop, etc.). Thisstrains resources and often leads to inad equate and/or inaccurate results. Accordingly, it is highly desirableto develop systems and methods to automate the data annotation process such that more data may beobtained for ML training and/or verification.”
