Inference Dataset for Paper: Deep learning-based approach to the characterization and quantification of histopathology in mouse models of colitis, PLoS One

Colitis mouse models have been heavily studied to elucidate the pathophysiology of human inflammatory bowel disease. As with patients, colitis mouse models exhibit the simultaneous presence of colonic regions that are histologically involved or uninvolved with disease. We have trained a ResNet-34 classifier to detect these regions from hematoxylin and eosin-stained whole murine colons. ‘Involved’ and ‘uninvolved’ image patches were gathered to cluster and identify histological patch classes. The per mouse proportions of these patch classes were then used to train machine learning classifiers to infer mouse model and clinical score bins. This dataset contains the whole slide images (WSIs) from our prospective mouse cohort. This allows others to run our code from WSI scaling and patch extraction to 1) patch-level ‘Involved’ and ‘Uninvolved’ predictions, 2) ‘Involved’ versus ‘Uninvolved’ prediction WSI overlay generations, 3) histological patch class detection, and 4) mouse model and clinical score bin inference.
