    Abstract: A breast ultrasound diagnosis method using weakly supervised deep-learning artificial intelligence comprises: an ultrasound image preprocessing step of generating input data including only an image region necessary for learning, by deleting personal information about a patient from a breast ultrasound image; a deep-learning step of receiving the input data, obtaining a feature map from the received input data by using a convolutional neural network (CNN) and global average pooling (GAP), and carrying out re-learning; a differential diagnosis step of determining the input data as one of normal, benign, and malignant by using the GAP, and when the input data is determined to be malignant, calculating a probability of malignancy (POM) indicating accuracy of the determination; and a contribution region determination and visualization step of backpropagating a determination result through the CNN, calculating a contribution degree of each pixel that has contributed to the determination result as a gradient and a feature value, and visualizing a contribution region that has contributed to the determination, together with the POM, on the basis of the calculated contribution degree of each pixel, wherein, in the deep-learning step, learning is carried out on the basis of verified performance of the contribution region and the POM.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for classifying a target feature in a medical video are presented herein. Some methods may include the steps of: receiving a plurality of frames of the medical video, where the plurality of frames include the target feature; generating, by a first pretrained machine learning model, an embedding vector for each frame of the plurality of frames, each embedding vector having a predetermined number of values; and generating, by a second pretrained machine learning model, a classification of the target feature using the plurality of embedding vectors, where the second pretrained machine learning model analyzes the plurality of embedding vectors jointly.
