• Abstract summary: We propose a deep learning-based Bayesian framework, which jointly models image and label statistics. We develop a variational Bayesian framework to infer the posterior distributions of these variables, including the contour, the basis, and the label. Results on the task of cross-sequence cardiac MRI segmentation show that our method set a new state of the art for model generalizability.

• Abstract: Although supervised deep-learning has achieved promising performance in medical image segmentation, many methods cannot generalize well on unseen data, limiting their real-world applicability. To address this problem, we propose a deep learning-based Bayesian framework, which jointly models image and label statistics, utilizing the domain-irrelevant contour of a medical image for segmentation. Specifically, we first decompose an image into components of contour and basis. Then, we model the expected label as a variable only related to the contour. Finally, we develop a variational Bayesian framework to infer the posterior distributions of these variables, including the contour, the basis, and the label. The framework is implemented with neural networks, thus is referred to as deep Bayesian segmentation. Results on the task of cross-sequence cardiac MRI segmentation show that our method set a new state of the art for model generalizability. Particularly, the BayeSeg model trained with LGE MRI generalized well on T2 images and outperformed other models with great margins, i.e., over 0.47 in terms of average Dice.

  We propose an interpretable Bayesian framework (BayeSeg) to enhance model generalizability for medical image segmentation. Specifically, we first decompose an image into a spatial-correlated variable and a spatial-variant variable, assigning hierarchical Bayesian priors to explicitly force them to model the domain-stable shape and domain-specific appearance information respectively. Finally, we develop a variational Bayesian framework to infer the posterior distributions of these explainable variables.

  This work addresses weakly supervised semantic segmentation (WSSS), with the goal of bridging the gap between image-level annotations and pixel-level segmentation. We formulate WSSS as a novel group-wise learning task that explicitly models semantic dependencies in a group of images to estimate more reliable pseudo ground-truths. In particular, we devise a graph neural network (GNN) for group-wise semantic mining, wherein input images are represented as graph nodes.
