There have been few efforts made to automate the cytomorphological categorization of bone marrow cells. For bone marrow cell categorization, deep-learning algorithms have been limited to a small number of samples or disease classifications. In this paper, we proposed a pipeline to classify the bone marrow cells despite these limitations. Data augmentation was used throughout the data to resolve any class imbalances. Then, random transformations such as rotating between 0∘ to 90∘, zooming in/out, flipping horizontally and/or vertically, and translating were performed. The model used in the pipeline was a CoAtNet and that was compared with two baseline models, EfficientNetV2 and ResNext50. We then analyzed the CoAtNet model using SmoothGrad and Grad-CAM, two recently developed algorithms that have been shown to meet the fundamental requirements for explainability methods. After evaluating all three models’ performance for each of the distinct morphological classes, the proposed CoAtNet model was able to outperform the EfficientNetV2 and ResNext50 models due to its attention network property that increased the learning curve for the algorithm which was represented using a precision-recall curve.
