Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical data processing, and in particular to a method and device for identifying malarial parasite types based on thin blood films. Background Art
[0002] Malaria is a parasitic disease prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions. It is caused by the bite of female Anopheles mosquitoes carrying malarial parasites. There are four main types of malarial parasites that infect humans: Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium malariae and Plasmodium ovale. The most common ones are Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax, and Plasmodium falciparum is the most dangerous. Different types of malarial parasites can show obvious differences in thin blood film morphology, including parasitized red blood cells, small trophozoites (ring bodies), large trophozoites, immature schizonts, mature schizonts, male gametocytes, and female gametocytes. Therefore, the identification of the type of malarial parasites is of great significance for studying the course of malaria.
[0003] In the existing technology, the identification of malarial parasites can be carried out by traditional medical means and artificial intelligence means. Among them, the identification of malarial parasites by traditional medical means mainly includes the following four methods:
[0004] (1) Microscopic examination: Doctors use a microscope to observe peripheral blood smears to check for malarial parasites. This is a routine method for diagnosing malaria. Usually, the entire blood slide needs to be observed under a 100x objective lens. Generally, thousands of fields of view need to be checked, which takes a day. If malarial parasites are found, the result is positive, which can be used as a reliable basis for diagnosis. A negative result cannot negate the diagnosis, and multiple reexaminations are required.
[0005] (2) Cultivation: Cultivate the microorganisms in the sample under certain nutritional conditions and observe the growth characteristics of reproduction and amplification to determine whether parasites are present;
[0006] (3) Antigen or antibody testing: by injecting specific antibodies (or antigens) into the sample and observing whether a specific reaction occurs, it is possible to infer whether the microorganism contains parasites;
[0007] (4) Genetic testing: Use nucleic acid hybridization, gene chips, polymerase reaction and other technologies to detect the nucleic acid sequence of parasites to determine whether parasites are present.
[0008] Due to the small amount of data, there are relatively few artificial intelligence technologies for malarial parasite classification. There are currently four different solutions for medical image classification tasks with a small total data volume (small sample) and unbalanced data volume. Data imbalance refers to the serious imbalance in the proportion of data volume in each category of the data set used for network training during the classification process. We call the category with a large amount of data the head category, the category with a moderate amount of data the middle category, and the category with a small amount of data the tail category.
[0009] (1) Data augmentation: This type of method usually augments the data of the tail category to increase the amount of data in the tail category, thus transforming the problem into a balanced data classification problem.
[0010] (2) Resampling: This method refers to selecting the same number of instances in each category from the existing data set to form a balanced data set to complete the classification task;
[0011] (3) Reweighting: In the process of training the neural network, different weights are assigned to different categories of data, so that the network has a greater bias towards the tail category, thereby solving the problem of data imbalance;
[0012] (4) Multi-expert model: Through a method similar to ensemble learning, multiple neural networks are established to classify data in parallel. During the training process of each network, the data received is different, and the number of rounds of tail data input is more than that of the head category, thus solving the problem of data imbalance to a certain extent.
[0013] However, for existing AI methods, in solving the long-tail problem of small data sets, data augmentation methods can cause overfitting of the network; resampling and reweighting can weaken the accuracy of the head category. None of these methods can effectively solve the problem of data imbalance, and since the overall number of native data sets is small, none of these methods can effectively solve the problem of insufficient data samples.
[0014] In view of this, a method and device for identifying the category of Plasmodium based on a thin blood film are provided, in the hope of solving the problems existing in the prior art, such as poor accuracy in identifying Plasmodium, a long identification process, and the inability to achieve artificial intelligence identification due to a small number of data samples and an imbalance in the number of sample data categories. Summary of the invention

[0049] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0050] In actual usage scenarios, malarial parasites can cause disease in the ring, macrotrophozoite, schizont and gametocyte stages. Judging the proportion of different stages is of certain significance for predicting the direction of the disease. Therefore, this embodiment sets the recognition range to four major stages of Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium malariae, Plasmodium ovale, Plasmodium knowlesi, and the ring, macrotrophozoite, schizont, and gametocyte of different parasite species, for a total of 20 categories (5 parasite species × 4 stages).
[0051] In order to solve the problems existing in the prior art, the problem of small number of data samples and unbalanced number of sample data categories in the artificial intelligence recognition process should be overcome.
[0052] In a specific embodiment, the present invention provides a method for identifying the type of Plasmodium based on thin blood film, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:
[0053] S110: Acquire a thin blood film image to be identified;
[0054] S120: inputting the thin blood film image to be identified into a pre-trained classification and recognition model to obtain a malarial parasite category recognition result output by the classification and recognition model;
[0055] The classification and recognition model is obtained by distilling multiple expert models using self-paced learning and curriculum learning. The multiple expert models are trained based on different tail category data in unlabeled data. The unlabeled data is obtained using unsupervised upstream tasks.
[0056] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the training process of the classification recognition model includes the following steps:
[0057] S210: Obtain a large amount of unlabeled data using unsupervised upstream tasks; specifically, obtain an unlabeled red blood cell image, construct a proxy task based on the red blood cell image through reconstruction loss so that the input red blood cell image has a preset degree of occlusion; restore the occluded part of the image according to context information through a generative model to obtain unlabeled data.
[0058] S220: dividing the unlabeled data into a plurality of tail category data, and performing classification training on the initial expert network based on the different tail category data to obtain a plurality of expert models;
[0059] S230: Distilling multiple expert models based on a distillation network to obtain the classification recognition model.
[0060] like Figure 3 As shown, in order to solve the problem of small samples, this embodiment introduces a semi-supervised algorithm. Because the carrier of malarial parasites is red blood cells, and unlabeled red blood cell samples are easy to obtain, therefore, in the early stage of training the neural network, unlabeled red blood cells are used to train the network first. The upstream task is the pre-training stage, and the purpose of pre-training is mainly to efficiently use unlabeled data. The cost of acquiring these unlabeled data is very low, so the amount of data is sufficient. At this stage, since the input is unlabeled red blood cell data, in order to smoothly optimize the parameters for network back propagation, reconstruction loss is used to construct the proxy task, which is mainly to occlude the input image to a certain extent, and restore the occluded part of the image according to the context information through the generative model.
[0061] In addition, the downstream task is defined as a long-tail data classification problem. Multiple expert models are selected to integrate and learn different types of features, so that more experts can focus on the tail category data, thereby alleviating the problem of data imbalance. Unlike the conventional multi-expert model method, the teacher-student distillation technology is used for multiple trained expert models, so that the student network has the ability to process all categories of data with high accuracy. In addition, in the process of distillation learning, the curriculum learning technology is used to allow the student model to perform distillation learning from simple to difficult.
[0062] In some embodiments, the unlabeled data is divided into a plurality of tail category data, and the initial expert network is classified and trained based on the different tail category data to obtain a plurality of expert models, specifically including:
[0063] Use the network structure of the upstream task as the backbone network;
[0064] The total task is divided into n subtasks according to the distribution of the data volume of each tail category data, and each expert model corresponds to one subtask; when n is 3, there are three expert models, the first expert model is responsible for predicting all categories and inputting all category data, the second expert is only responsible for the classification prediction of the middle category and the tail category data, and the third expert is only responsible for predicting the tail category;
[0065] Different tail category data are used to train each initial expert network separately to obtain multiple expert models.
[0066] Specifically, when distributing the training of the expert model, the network structure of the upstream task is first used as the backbone network, which can improve the utilization rate of malaria data. Then, the training of n expert models is carried out. The expert model can be regarded as an integrated learning model, that is, using several neural networks with similar network structures to jointly complete a set of classification tasks, and each expert network is responsible for a subtask. Regarding the classification of 20 categories (5 parasite species * 4 periods) of malarial parasites, this total task is divided into n subtasks according to the distribution of the amount of data in each category. According to the ratio of data volume, the 20 categories were divided into three subcategories, namely (1) head category (Plague falciparum - ring stage; Plague vivax - macrotrophozoite stage), (2) middle category (Plague malariae - gametocyte stage; Plague falciparum - gametocyte stage; Plague malariae - macrotrophozoite stage; Plague ovale - macrotrophozoite stage; Plague ovale - gametocyte stage), and (3) tail category (Plague knowlesi - all stages; Plague malariae - ring stage; Plague ovale - ring stage; Plague vivax - ring stage; Plague vivax - gametocyte stage; all parasite species - schizont stage; Plague falciparum - macrotrophozoite stage).
[0067] In this embodiment, n is 3, that is, there are three expert models. The first expert model is responsible for predicting all categories and inputting all category data; the second expert model is only responsible for the classification prediction of the middle category and the tail category data. The third expert is only responsible for predicting the tail category. This data input ratio method achieves a rebalance of the data volume from another perspective.
[0068] In some embodiments, multiple expert models are distilled based on a distillation network to obtain the classification recognition model, and distillation is achieved through self-paced learning and curriculum learning. Specifically, the student network is trained by self-paced learning and curriculum learning, and the teacher model is obtained through the above reverse method. Since the task of each teacher model is relatively simple, it is necessary to merge multiple teacher models into a powerful student model, so that the student network can obtain good results based on multiple tasks.
[0069] Self-paced learning is first introduced in the training process. Self-paced learning includes two supervision methods: 1) cross entropy loss of the real label of the image; 2) KL divergence between the logit of the teacher network and the logit of the student network. In the early stage of training, the teacher network takes the dominant position, while the real label takes the dominant position in the later stage.
[0070] In addition, the same course learning method is used to construct difficult samples by collecting incorrect prediction samples of the teacher model. In the early stage of network training, simple samples are input to the network to learn the network parameters, and difficult samples are input for learning in the later stage, so as to complete the course tasks from easy to difficult.
[0071] In the above specific implementation, the method for identifying the category of malarial parasites based on thin blood film provided by the present invention is to obtain a thin blood film image to be identified; input the thin blood film image to be identified into a pre-trained classification and recognition model, and obtain the malarial parasite category recognition result output by the classification and recognition model; wherein the classification and recognition model is obtained by distilling multiple expert models using self-paced learning and curriculum learning, and the multiple expert models are trained based on different tail category data in unlabeled data, and the unlabeled data is obtained using unsupervised upstream tasks. This solves the problem of poor accuracy in malarial parasite identification, long time-consuming identification process, and inability to achieve artificial intelligence identification due to a small number of data samples in the prior art.
[0072] In addition to the above method, the present invention also provides a device for identifying malarial parasites based on thin blood film, such as Figure 4 As shown, the device comprises:
[0073] A data acquisition unit 410 is used to acquire a thin blood film image to be identified;

[0080] In some embodiments, a large amount of unlabeled data is obtained by using unsupervised upstream tasks, specifically including:
[0081] Acquire label-free red blood cell images;
[0082] constructing a proxy task based on the red blood cell image through reconstruction loss so that the input red blood cell image has a preset degree of occlusion;
[0083] The occluded part of the image is restored according to the context information through the generative model to obtain unlabeled data.
[0084] In some embodiments, the unlabeled data is divided into a plurality of tail category data, and the initial expert network is classified and trained based on the different tail category data to obtain a plurality of expert models, specifically including:
[0085] Use the network structure of the upstream task as the backbone network;
[0086] The total task is divided into n subtasks according to the distribution of the data volume of each tail category data, and each expert model corresponds to a subtask;
[0087] Different tail category data are used to train each initial expert network separately to obtain multiple expert models.
[0088] In some embodiments, when n is 3, the number of expert models is three;
[0089] Among them, the first expert model is responsible for predicting all categories and inputting all category data. The second expert is only responsible for the classification prediction of the middle category and tail category data, and the third expert is only responsible for predicting the tail category.
[0090] In some embodiments, multiple expert models are distilled based on a distillation network to obtain the classification recognition model, and distillation is achieved through self-paced learning and curriculum learning.

This solves the problem of poor malarial parasite recognition accuracy, long recognition process, and inability to achieve artificial intelligence recognition due to a small number of data samples in the prior art.
