Abstract
This talk addresses data efficiency and robustness challenges in deep learning applications for optical coherence tomography (OCT) and bioimaging. It shows a comprehensive workflow for data management, annotation, and model training to overcome limitations posed by scarce annotated datasets, small datasets and image variability. Key contributions include an active learning strategy with human-in-the-loop, an efficient image grading framework, software tools for data preparation, and a curated multi-disease OCT dataset. These advancements aim to improving efficiency and human-AI collaboration for biomedical image analysis, benefiting healthcare and research applications.
