Résumé:
Annotation of medical images for semantic segmentation is
a very time consuming and dicult task. Moreover, clinical experts of-
ten focus on speci c anatomical structures and thus, produce partially
annotated images. In this paper, we introduce SMILE, a new deep con-
volutional neural network which addresses the issue of learning with in-
complete ground truth. SMILE aims to identify ambiguous labels in or-
der to ignore them during training, and don't propagate incorrect or
noisy information. A second contribution is SMILEr which uses SMILE
as initialization for automatically relabeling missing annotations, using
a curriculum strategy. Experiments on 3 organ classes (liver, stomach,
pancreas) show the relevance of the proposed approach for semantic seg-
mentation: with 70% of missing annotations, SMILEr performs similarly
as a baseline trained with complete ground truth annotations.
