Outline

In this paper, we propose a decoupled representation learning (DRL) methodology to address the problem that deep neural networks have excellent performance but poor interpretability in microscopic image analysis. Using a DRL framework that transfers learned representations from synthetic data, we demonstrate that it improves the trade-off between accuracy and interpretability on benchmark datasets of three microscopic image domains: plankton, yeast vacuoles, and human cells.

Takeaways, Limitations

Takeaways:
We demonstrate that DRL can be used to improve model interpretability in microscopy image classification.
We demonstrate that transfer learning using synthetic data can improve both performance and interpretability on real data.
We validate the utility of the DRL methodology in a variety of microscopic image domains (plankton, yeast vacuoles, and human cells).
Limitations:
Further research is needed to investigate the generalization performance of the proposed DRL methodology.
The characteristics of the synthetic data used may affect performance depending on their differences from real data.
Experiments with more diverse and complex microscopy image data are needed.
