Aiforia Create feature: Annotation Assistant

Written by Aiforia | Sep 1, 2020 10:41:44 AM

Aiforia®️ Create is the most versatile tool for developing deep learning AI models for image analysis. It supports the user by automating manual steps in AI development with features such as the Annotation Assistant. 

The AI annotation tool utilizes active learning, a highly sought-after technique in artificial intelligence. It provides preconfigured annotations for the most relevant areas of training data, giving users the option to accept, modify, or reject the suggestions. Let's delve into this topic further.

Annotate more images in less time

The Annotation Assistant employs active learning, a highly sought-after method in artificial intelligence, for which Aiforia holds a U.S. patent.

The innovative tool scans images to identify areas that would offer the most valuable training data for AI model development. It then proposes these areas to the user, who can accept, modify, or reject the suggestions.

This auto-scanning method reduces training time, enhances the quality of the AI model, and is especially effective for analyzing rare cases and large, varied datasets. Additionally, it offers an efficient approach for quickly adapting pre-validated AI models to a new laboratory setting.

Benefits of using Annotation Assistant

  • Decrease AI training time
  • Improve AI training quality
  • Enhance training of AI models for rare findings and large datasets with marked variation

 

Case examples


Oncology: accelerating AI training for PD-L1 analysis 

“Annotation Assistant really saves you a lot of time. It also brings up the more difficult areas that I myself would not have realized to annotate. It really made the AI model better.”

Liesbeth Hondelink, Leiden University Medical Center

Neuroscience case example: automating AI training for neuron quantification

"Working with Aiforia is very accessible for every user. Without any previous knowledge of AI or programming/code, the user can directly start training a specific algorithm for any of his/her objects. The interface is very intuitive and it gets very simple to begin accumulating hundreds of annotations. Besides, the Annotation Assistant tool makes the first proto-algorithms gain a lot of quality very quickly. On top of it, customer care of Aiforia is always ready to help with whatever inquiry and always give the best solutions." -

Joan Compte Barrón, a predoctoral researcher at Vall d'Hebron Instituto de Investigación
