CARTA: Active learning software for automatic classification of biomedical images. (English)

Advances in imaging systems have yielded a flood of images into the research field. To reduce the laborious task of classifying a large number of images, we developed a novel software, CARTA (Clustering-Aided Rapid Training Agent), applicable to bioimage classification that facilitates annotation and selection of features. CARTA comprises an active learning algorithm combined with a genetic algorithm and self-organizing map. The software provides an easy and interactive annotation method and accurate classification. CARTA can be applied to classification of magnetic resonance imaging of cancer cells. Moreover, CARTA can support development of customized features for classification and application of various classification schemes dependent on the user's purpose. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
