Motivation
JN 04/21/23
Knowledge Systems Lab
Motivation
• Doctors and radiologists spend several hours daily analyzing patient images (ie. MRI scans of the brain)
• The patterns being searched for in the image are standard and well-known to doctors
• Why not have the doctor teach the computer to find these patterns in the images?

Knowledge Systems Lab
Motivation
• Doctors and radiologists who use supervised AI systems for image segmentation:– Usually can not interactively refine the computer’s
segmentation performance– Must be able to precisely select regions/pixels of
the image to train the computer– Often do not use an interface that facilitates
accomplishment of their task– Can easily lose where they are looking in the
image when using magnification

Simplified Fuzzy ARTMAP (SFAM)

SFAM
• In order to “teach the computer” to find tumors in neuro-images, a supervised machine learning system must be used
• Simplified Fuzzy ARTMAP (SFAM) is a neural network that was created by Grossberg in 1987 and uses a mathematical model of the way the human brain learns and encodes information
• This AI system was utilized because it allows very fast learning for interactive training (ie. seconds instead of days to weeks)

SFAM
• SFAM is a computer-based system capable of online, incremental learning
• Two “vectors” are sent to this system for learning:– Input feature vector gives the data is
available from which to learn– Supervisory signal indicates whether that
vector is an example or counterexample

SFAM
• Data from which to learn– Feature vector from slice pixel values from shunted and single-
opponency images (Whole Brain Atlas)

SFAM
• Only one tunable parameter – vigilance– Vigilance can be set from 0 to 1 and corresponds to the
generality by which things are classified(ie. vig=0.3=>human, vig=0.6=>male, 0.9=>Joshua New)

SFAM
• SFAM is sensitive to the order of the inputs

• Voting scheme of 5 Heterogeneous SFAM networks to overcome vigilance and input order dependence– 3 networks: random input order, set vigilance
– 2 networks: 3rd network order, vigilance ± 10%

Conclusions
• Doctors and radiologists can teach the computer to recognize abnormal brain tissue
• They can refine the learning systems results interactively
• They can precisely select targets/non-targets• They can zoom for precision while
maintaining context of the entire image• The interface developed facilitates task
performance through display of segmentation results and interactive training

Future Work
• Quantity of health-care can be increased by utilizing these trained “agents” to allow radiologists to only view the required images and directing their attention for the ones that are viewed
• Quality of health care can be increased by using the agents to classify an entire database of images to highlight possibly overlooked or misdiagnosed cases
