Abstract

A computer implemented method, computer system and computer program product are provided for data classification. According to the method, an original data is received by one or more processing units. A classification of the original data with a trained classifier is determined by one or more processing units, wherein the classifier is trained by a labeled data of different granularity, and the labeled data include at least one defect object.

Claims (30)

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

receiving, by one or more hardware processors, an original data; and

determining, by the one or more hardware processors, a classification of the original data with a trained classifier,

wherein the classifier is trained by labeled data, which includes at least one defect object that is represented at a plurality of different size scales, in an order of granularity, performed over multiple epochs, with full images taking a longer stage of epochs than other size scales to improve stability.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the classifier is a convolutional neural networks (CNN).

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the original data and the labeled data are images, and the at least one defect object is selected from: a defect part of a semiconductor device, a lesion within a biological tissue, a defect part of a Micro Electro Mechanical System (MEMS), and a defect area within a metal, and a stain in a textile printing material or image.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the labeled data of different size scales are labeled images with differing numbers of pixels.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the labeled data of different size scales are patches randomly cropped from labeled original data according to different scales.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein training in the order of the granularity is from a fine granularity to a coarse granularity.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the labeled data of different size scales includes data of at least five levels of granularity according to their fineness.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the labeled data of different size scales has been preprocessed by at least one of: rotating; resizing; or masking.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one defect object is a gastric ulcer.

10. A computer system, comprising:

a processor;

a computer-readable memory coupled to the processor, the memory comprising instructions that when executed by the processor perform actions of:

receiving an original data;

determining a classification of the original data with a trained classifier,

wherein the classifier is trained by labeled data, which includes at least one defect object that is represented at a plurality of different size scales, in an order of granularity, performed over multiple epochs, with full images taking a longer stage of epochs than other size scales to improve stability.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the original data and the labeled data are images, and the at least one defect object is selected from: a defect part of a semiconductor device, a lesion within a biological tissue, a defect part of a Micro Electro Mechanical System (MEMS), a defect area within a metal, and a stain in a textile printing material or image.

12. The system of claim 10 , wherein the labeled data of different size scales are labeled images with differing numbers of pixels.

13. The system of claim 10 , wherein the labeled data of different size scales are patches randomly cropped from a labeled original data according to different scales.

14. The system of claim 10 , wherein the classifier is trained with the labeled data of different size scales in order from a fine granularity to a coarse granularity.

15. A computer program product, comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to:

receiving an original data;

determining a classification of the original data with a trained classifier,

wherein the classifier is trained by labeled data, which includes at least one defect object that is represented at a plurality of different size scales, in an order of granularity, performed over multiple epochs, with full images taking a longer stage of epochs than other size scales to improve stability, and the labeled data include at least one defect object.

16. The product of claim 15 , wherein the original data and the labeled data are images, and the at least one defect object is selected from: a defect part of a semiconductor device, a lesion within a biological tissue, a defect part of a Micro Electro Mechanical System (MEMS), a defect area within a metal, and a stain in a textile printing material or image.

17. The product of claim 15 , wherein the labeled data of different size scales are labeled images with differing numbers of pixels.

18. The product of claim 15 , wherein the labeled data of different size scales are patches randomly cropped from labeled original data according to different scales.

19. The product of claim 15 , wherein the classifier is trained with the labeled data of different size scales in order from a fine granularity to a coarse granularity.
