Abstract

A method for interpreting an input image by a computing device operated by at least one processor is provided. The method for interpreting an input image comprises storing an artificial intelligent (AI) model that is trained to classify a lesion detected in the input image as suspicious or non-suspicious and, under a condition of being suspicious, to classify the lesion detected in the input image as malignant or benign-hard representing that the lesion is suspicious but determined to be benign, receiving an analysis target image, by using the AI model, obtaining a classification class of a target lesion detected in the analysis target image and, when the classification class is the suspicious, obtaining at least one of a probability of being suspicious, a probability of being benign-hard, and a probability of malignant for the target lesion, and outputting an interpretation result including at least one probability obtained for the target lesion.

Abstract

A training method for specializing an artificial intelligence model in an institution for deployment and an apparatus for performing training the artificial intelligence model are provided. A method for operating a training apparatus operated by at least one processor includes extracting a dataset to be used for specialized training from data retained by a certain institution, selecting an annotation target for which annotation is required from the dataset by using a pre-trained artificial intelligence (AI) model, and performing supervised training of the pre-trained AI model by using data annotated with a label for the annotation target.
