Abstract
This paper aims to predict gene expression from a histology slide image precisely. Such a slide image has a large resolution and sparsely distributed textures. These obstruct extracting and interpreting discriminative features from the slide image for diverse gene types prediction. Existing gene expression methods mainly use general components to filter textureless regions, extract features, and aggregate features uniformly across regions. However, they ignore gaps and interactions between different image regions and are therefore inferior in the gene expression task. Instead, we present ISG framework that harnesses interactions among discriminative features from texture-abundant regions by three new modules: 1) a Shannon Selection module, based on the Shannon information content and Solomonoff's theory, to filter out textureless image regions; 2) a feature extraction network to extract expressive low-dimensional feature representations for efficient region interactions among a high-resolution image; 3) a Dual Attention network attends to regions with desired gene expression features and aggregates them for the prediction task. Extensive experiments on standard benchmark datasets show that the proposed ISG framework outperforms state-of-the-art methods significantly.Video
