Abstract : This chapter discusses a few applications of deep learning networks in cytopathology. Specifically, the detection of malaria from slide images of blood smear and classification of leukaemia cell-lines are addressed. The chapter starts with relevant theory for traditional (deep) multi-layer neural networks with back-propagation, followed by motivation, theory and training in Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), the trending deep-learning based classifier. The detection of malaria from blood smear slide images using CNN is addressed followed by a discussion on the transfer learning capability of CNN by taking the classification of leukaemia cell-lines: K562, MOLT & HL60 as an example. The transfer learning capability of CNN is of particular interest especially when there are only very limited number of training samples to come up with a stand alone deep CNN classifier.
