Domain shift is one of the main obstacles to the safe deployment of machine learning (ML) models. In cytology, whole slide images (WSIs) can have various characteristics due to the diversity of preparation protocols and scanners. To prevent domain shift, we propose a generic model that identifies the origin of a WSI, by detecting the preparation and the scanner used to produce it. Depending on the task, preparation or scanner detection, different WSI representations are suitable. We introduce a two-branch architecture to handle these representations. For scanner detection, we propose a method inspired by forensic research on device identification, and demonstrate its effectiveness with WSIs.

摘要

Domain shift is one of the main obstacles to the safe deployment of machine learning (ML) models. In cytology, whole slide images (WSIs) can have various characteristics due to the diversity of preparation protocols and scanners. To prevent domain shift, we propose a generic model that identifies the origin of a WSI, by detecting the preparation and the scanner used to produce it. Depending on the task, preparation or scanner detection, different WSI representations are suitable. We introduce a two-branch architecture to handle these representations. For scanner detection, we propose a method inspired by forensic research on device identification, and demonstrate its effectiveness with WSIs.
