updated May 13, 2022
This is the code repository for the paper: In Progress
We developed a web system application for users to test our proposed pipilne for predicting histopathology reports. Users can interact with the platform in 2 ways: 1) Input an excel/csv spreadsheet with a column with the biopsy diagnosis (Part A,B or C). 2) Input a single biopsy diagnosis. An example of our Web System is illustraded bellow:
![]() | ![]() |
![]() | ![]() |
We recommend using a virtual environment
If you do not already have conda installed, you can install Miniconda from this link (~450Mb). Then, check that conda is up to date:
conda update -n base -c defaults conda
And create a conda environment from the yml file:
conda env create -f environment.yml
If not already activated, activate the new conda environment using:
conda activate pathology
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/chenrui333/homebrew-core/0094d1513ce9e2e85e07443b8b5930ad298aad91/Formula/libomp.rb
brew unlink libomp
brew install --build-from-source ./libomp.rb
brew list --version libomp
Script Example to Download Models
python3 app/src/download_models.py --all_labels "single_tfidf" --higher_order "PathologyEmoryPubMedBERT"
There are several models available for download
| Higher Order Option | All Labels Options |
|---|---|
| PathologyEmoryPubMedBERT | single_tfidf |
| PathologyEmoryBERT | branch_tfidf |
| ClinicalBERT | |
| BlueBERT | |
| BioBERT | |
| BERT |
A minimal demo app is provided for you to play with the classification model!
![]() |
You can easily run your app in your default browser by running:
python3.8 -m streamlit.cli run app/src/app.py
OR
streamlit run app/src/app.py
You can also use our api to run using terminal.
The program takes an excell/csv sheet and extract the higher order and cancer characteristics from pathology reports
Example of Runing:
python3 app/src/label_extraction.py --path_to_file data.xlsx --column_name report --higher_model "PathologyEmoryPubMedBERT" --all_label_model "single_tfidf" --save_predictions predictions.xlsx --save_json output.json
Coming soon
A minimal annotation tool is provided
