OKEN: A Supervised Evolutionary Optimizable Dimensionality Reduction Framework for Whole Slide Image Classification.

ABSTRACT: Classification of lung cancer subtypes is a critical clinical step; however, relying solely on H&E-stained histopathology images can pose challenges, and additional immunohistochemical analysis is sometimes required for definitive subtyping. Digital pathology facilitates the use of artificial intelligence for automatic classification of digital tissue slides. Automatic classification of Whole Slide Images (WSIs) typically involves extracting features from patches obtained from them. The aim of this study was to develop a WSI classification framework utilizing an optimizable kernel to encode features from each patch from a WSI into a desirable and adjustable latent space using an evolutionary algorithm. The encoded data can then be used for classification and segmentation while being comput
