1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

purposeAutomated analysis of microscopy image data typically requires complex pipelines that involve multiple methods for different image analysis tasks. To achieve best results of the analysis pipelines, method-dependent hyperparameters need to be optimized. However, complex pipelines often suffer from the fact that calculation of the gradient of the loss function is analytically or computationally infeasible. Therefore, first- or higher-order optimization methods cannot be applied.

methodsWe developed a new framework for zero-order black-box hyperparameter optimization called HyperHyper, which has a modular architecture that separates hyperparameter sampling and optimization. We also developed a visualization of the loss function based on infimum projection to obtain further insights into the optimization problem.

resultsWe applied HyperHyper in three different experiments with different imaging modalities, and evaluated in total more than 400.000 hyperparameter combinations. HyperHyper was used for optimizing two pipelines for cell nuclei segmentation in prostate tissue microscopy images and two pipelines for detection of hepatitis C virus proteins in live cell microscopy data. We evaluated the impact of separating the sampling and optimization strategy using different optimizers and employed an infimum projection for visualizing the hyperparameter space.

conclusionsThe separation of sampling and optimization strategy of the proposed HyperHyper optimization framework improves the result of the investigated image analysis pipelines. Visualization of the loss function based on infimum projection enables gaining further insights on the optimization process.
