Hierarchically Clustered Representation Learning
The joint optimization of representation learning and clustering in the
embedding space has experienced a breakthrough in recent years. In spite of the
advance, clustering with representation learning has been limited to flat-level
categories, which often involves cohesive clustering with a focus on instance
relations. To overcome the limitations of flat clustering, we introduce
hierarchically-clustered representation learning (HCRL), which simultaneously
optimizes representation learning and hierarchical clustering in the embedding
space. Compared with a few prior works, HCRL firstly attempts to consider a
generation of deep embeddings from every component of the hierarchy, not just
leaf components. In addition to obtaining hierarchically clustered embeddings,
we can reconstruct data by the various abstraction levels, infer the intrinsic
hierarchical structure, and learn the level-proportion features. We conducted
evaluations with image and text domains, and our quantitative analyses showed
competent likelihoods and the best accuracies compared with the baselines.Comment: 10 pages, 7 figures, Under review as a conference pape

Current Status of Image-Enhanced Endoscopy for Early Identification of Esophageal Neoplasms
Advanced esophageal cancer is known to have a poor prognosis. The early detection of esophageal neoplasms, including esophageal dysplasia and early esophageal cancer, is highly important for the accurate treatment of the disease. However, esophageal dysplasia and early esophageal cancer are usually subtle and can be easily missed. In addition to the early detection, proper pretreatment evaluation of the depth of invasion of esophageal cancer is very important for curative treatment. The progression of non-invasive diagnosis via image-enhanced endoscopy techniques has been shown to aid the early detection and estimate the depth of invasion of early esophageal cancer and, as a result, may provide additional opportunities for curative treatment. Here, we review the advancement of image-enhanced endoscopy-related technologies and their role in the early identification of esophageal neoplasms
