Abstract: Hematopoietic cancer is a malignant transformation in immune system cells. Hematopoi- etic cancer is characterized by the cells that are expressed, so it is usually difficult to distinguish its heterogeneities in the hematopoiesis process. Traditional approaches for cancer subtyping use statistical techniques. Furthermore, due to the overfitting problem of small samples, in case of a minor cancer, it does not have enough sample material for building a classification model. Therefore, Citation: Park, K.H.; Batbaatar, E.; we propose not only to build a classification model for five major subtypes using two kinds of losses, Piao, Y.; Theera-Umpon, N.; Ryu, K.H.
