- 用循环一致性损失实现无监督多图匹配
- 在3D显微图像中达到有监督方法的标注精度
- 适合生物医学中无需人工标注的细胞研究
本文提出一种新型无监督多图匹配方法,适用于关键点特征服从高斯分布的问题。通过循环一致性作为自监督学习的损失函数,并利用贝叶斯优化确定高斯参数,实现了对大规模数据集的高效处理。该完全无监督的方法在秀丽隐杆线虫(C. elegans)三维显微图像的细胞语义标注任务中达到了当前最优有监督方法的准确率。首次构建了无需任何真实标注的C. elegans无监督细胞核图谱,即所有细胞核联合分布的模型。该进展显著提升了大规模显微图像中细胞的语义标注效率,突破了当前主要瓶颈。该方法可推广至具有固定身体结构的其他模式生物,实现以唯一语义标签为粒度的细胞级图谱构建,有望推动多种生物体的生物医学研究。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
In this work we present a novel approach for unsupervised multi-graph matching, which applies to problems for which a Gaussian distribution of keypoint features can be assumed. We leverage cycle consistency as loss for self-supervised learning, and determine Gaussian parameters through Bayesian Optimization, yielding a highly efficient approach that scales to large datasets. Our fully unsupervised approach enables us to reach the accuracy of state-of-the-art supervised methodology for the biomedical use case of semantic cell annotation in 3D microscopy images of the worm C. elegans. To this end, our approach yields the first unsupervised atlas of C. elegans, i.e. a model of the joint distribution of all of its cell nuclei, without the need for any ground truth cell annotation. This advancement enables highly efficient semantic annotation of cells in large microscopy datasets, overcoming a current key bottleneck. Beyond C. elegans, our approach offers fully unsupervised construction of cell-level atlases for any model organism with a stereotyped body plan down to the level of unique semantic cell labels, and thus bears the potential to catalyze respective biomedical studies in a range of further species.
