Title
Symbol-Based Machine Learning Approach for Supervised Segmentation of Follicular Lymphoma Images
Abstract
Lymphoma is a broad term encompassing a variety of cancers of the lymphatic system. Lymphoma is differentiated by the type of cell that multiplies and how the cancer presents itself. It is very important to get an exact diagnosis regarding lymphoma and to determine the treatments that will be most effective for the patient's condition. Our work was focused on the identification of lymphomas by finding follicles in microscopy images provided by the Laboratory of Pathology in the University Hospital of Tenerife, Spain. Roughly we can divide our work in two stages: in the first stage we did image pre-processing and feature extraction, and in the second stage we used different rough set approaches for pixel classification. These results were compared to decision tree results we obtained earlier. Symbolic machine learning approaches are often neglected when looking for image analysis tools. The results we got are very promising and show that symbolic approaches can be successful in image analysis applications.
