• Authors: Spencer A. Thomas
• Abstract summary: We compare the performance of six state-of-the-art deep neural networks in classification tasks when using only image features, to when these are combined with patient metadata. Our results indicate that this performance enhancement may be a general property of deep networks and should be explored in other areas.

• Abstract: In this work, we compare the performance of six state-of-the-art deep neural networks in classification tasks when using only image features, to when these are combined with patient metadata. We utilise transfer learning from networks pretrained on ImageNet to extract image features from the ISIC HAM10000 dataset prior to classification. Using several classification performance metrics, we evaluate the effects of including metadata with the image features. Furthermore, we repeat our experiments with data augmentation. Our results show an overall enhancement in performance of each network as assessed by all metrics, only noting degradation in a vgg16 architecture. Our results indicate that this performance enhancement may be a general property of deep networks and should be explored in other areas. Moreover, these improvements come at a negligible additional cost in computation time, and therefore are a practical method for other applications.

  Underwater image enhancement (UIE) is a challenging task due to the complex degradation caused by underwater environments. Previous methods often idealize the degradation process, and neglect the impact of medium noise and object motion on the distribution of image features. Our approach utilizes predicted images to dynamically update pseudo-labels, adding a dynamic gradient to optimize the network's gradient space.

  We introduce an attention-based memory module, which learns the importance of each retrieved example from the memory. Compared to existing approaches, our method removes the influence of the irrelevant retrieved examples, and retains those that are beneficial to the input query. We show that it achieves state-of-the-art accuracies in ImageNet-LT, Places-LT and Webvision datasets.

  Vision computation transformers (ViTs) use expensive self-attention operations in every layer. We propose SkipAt, a method to reuse self-attention from preceding layers to approximate attention at one or more subsequent layers. We show the effectiveness of our method in image classification and self-supervised learning on ImageNet-1K, semantic segmentation on ADE20K, image denoising on SIDD, and video denoising on DAVIS.

• Joint Learning of Neural Transfer and Architecture Adaptation for Image Recognition [77.95361323613147]
  Current state-of-the-art visual recognition systems rely on pretraining a neural network on a large-scale dataset and finetuning the network weights on a smaller dataset. In this work, we prove that dynamically adapting network architectures tailored for each domain task along with weight finetuning benefits in both efficiency and effectiveness. Our method can be easily generalized to an unsupervised paradigm by replacing supernet training with self-supervised learning in the source domain tasks and performing linear evaluation in the downstream tasks.

  Off-the-shelf convolutional neural network features achieve outstanding results in many image retrieval tasks. Existing image retrieval approaches require fine-tuning or modification of pre-trained networks to adapt to variations unique to the target data. Our method enhances the invariance of off-the-shelf features by aggregating features extracted from images augmented at test-time, with augmentations guided by a policy learned through reinforcement learning.
