EXECUTIVE BIO
using Samsung ’ s active learning in autolabeling images . There is no question about the value that deep learning brings to auto-labelling pathology images . We are really excited to explore the idea of a system that can learn little-by-little from pathologists .” A doctor takes 20 to 30 minutes to draw their annotation on top of a single image . And to train an AI algorithm to recognise anything meaningful , thousands of such annotated images are needed . The process is the most timeconsuming and expensive of the entire AI workflow .
It ’ s the primary obstacle that the AutoLabel facility of the Brightics AI Accelerator is there to overcome , using a technique called active learning to speed that process up by 90 %, so it will reduce the amount of human labour from 100 %
