• Abstract: In this paper, we propose a novel approach for few-shot semantic segmentation with sparse labeled images. We investigate the effectiveness of our method, which is based on the Model-Agnostic Meta-Learning (MAML) algorithm, in the medical scenario, where the use of sparse labeling and few-shot can alleviate the cost of producing new annotated datasets. Our method uses sparse labels in the meta-training and dense labels in the meta-test, thus making the model learn to predict dense labels from sparse ones. We conducted experiments with four Chest X-Ray datasets to evaluate two types of annotations (grid and points). The results show that our method is the most suitable when the target domain highly differs from source domains, achieving Jaccard scores comparable to dense labels, using less than 2% of the pixels of an image with labels in few-shot scenarios.

• Leveraging Fixed and Dynamic Pseudo-labels for Semi-supervised Medical Image Segmentation [7.9449756510822915]
  Semi-supervised medical image segmentation has gained growing interest due to its ability to utilize unannotated data. The current state-of-the-art methods mostly rely on pseudo-labeling within a co-training framework. We propose a novel approach where multiple pseudo-labels for the same unannotated image are used to learn from the unlabeled data.

  This paper presents a simple but performant semi-supervised semantic segmentation approach, called CorrMatch. We observe that the correlation maps not only enable clustering pixels of the same category easily but also contain good shape information. We propose to conduct pixel propagation by modeling the pairwise similarities of pixels to spread the high-confidence pixels and dig out more. Then, we perform region propagation to enhance the pseudo labels with accurate class-agnostic masks extracted from the correlation maps.

  Training multi-label models with partial positive labels (MLR-PPL) attracts increasing attention. Previous works regard unknown labels as negative and adopt traditional MLR algorithms. We propose to explore semantic correlation among different images to facilitate the MLR-PPL task.

  We propose a novel approach to generate supervision for semi-supervised semantic segmentation. We use a small number of labeled images as reference material and match pixels in an unlabeled image to the semantics of the best fitting pixel in a reference set. We achieve the same performance as a standard fully supervised model on X-ray anatomy segmentation, albeit 95% fewer labeled images.
