Machine learning approach for biopsy-based identification of eosinophilic esophagitis reveals importance of global features [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Goal: Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is an allergic inflammatory condition characterized by eosinophil accumulation in the esophageal mucosa. EoE diagnosis includes a manual assessment of eosinophil levels in mucosal biopsies - a time-consuming, laborious task that is difficult to standardize. One of the main challenges in automating this process, like
