The mixtures-of-experts (ME) methodology provides a tool of classification when experts of logistic regression models or Bernoulli models are mixed according to a set of local weights. We show that the Vapnik-Chervonenkis dimension of the ME architecture is bounded below by the number of experts m and above by O(m4s2), where s is the dimension of the input. For mixtures of Bernoulli experts with a scalar input, we show that the lower bound m is attained, in which case we obtain the exact result that the VC dimension is equal to the number of experts.
In this decade, the pathological information system has gradually been settled in many hospitals in Japan. Pathological reports and images are now digitized and managed in the database, and are referred by clinicians at the peripherals. Tele-pathology is also developing; and its users are increasing. However, in many occasions, the problem solving in diagnostic pathology is completely dependent on the solo-pathologist. Considering the need for timely and efficient supports to the solo-pathologist, I reviewed the papers on the knowledge-based interactive expert systems. The interpretations of the histopathological images are dependent on the pathologist, and these expert systems have been evaluated as "educational". With the view of the success in the cytological screening, the development of "image-analysis-based" automatic "histopathological image" classifier has been on ongoing challenges. Our 3 years experience of the development of the pathological image classifier using the artificial neural networks technology is briefly presented. This classifier provides us a "fitting rate" for the individual diagnostic pattern of the breast tumors, such as "fibroadenoma pattern". The diagnosis assisting system with computer technology should provide pathologists, especially solo-pathologists, a useful tool for the quality assurance and improvement of pathological diagnosis.
