1. A machine readable medium for determining the prognosis of a subject known or suspected to have mesothelioma having executable instructions to cause one or more processing units to:
determine a set of discriminative features in a biopsy image using a processing of extracting a plurality of feature vectors from the biopsy image by applying a first convolutional neural network, wherein each of the features of the plurality of feature vectors represents local descriptors of the biopsy image and the discriminative features include a combination of low survival features and/or high survival features, the low survival features being mesothelioma features associated with a prognosis of low survival duration and the high survival features being mesothelioma features associated with a prognosis of high survival duration;
classify the biopsy image using at least the set of discriminative features and a classification model, wherein the classification model is trained using a training set of known mesothelioma images and each of the known mesothelioma images has a corresponding label with survival duration information; and
determine the prognosis of the subject based on at least the classification of the biopsy image, wherein the prognosis is an indication of a survival duration of the subject.
