Abstract(in English) In pathological diagnosis of malignant lymphoma, a HE image is observed at first and then a set of immunostained images are observed to determine the subtype. Observing the HE image, pathologists infer the candidates of the subtypes, determine the set of immunostains needed for identifying the subtype, and finally identify the subtype by observing if the specimen is positively stained by each of the immunostains. The information from HE images is the candidates of the subtypes and a set of immunostains needed for the subtype identification. The proposed method hence constructs a decision tree for inferring the set of subtype candidates and the set of the immunostains from an input HE image. Each node of the decision tree infers if a set of specific immunostains is needed for the subtype identification. We used a set of pairs of a HE image and the text data that describes the diagnosed subtype and the set of immunostains. The multiple-instance learning (MIL) is employed for the training as we have no labels indicating the cancerous regions in the HE images. The outline of the proposed method and some results of initial studies are reported.
