• Title: Patch Selection for Melanoma Classification
• Abstract summary: We investigate two criteria to choose patches: entropy and a spectral similarity criterion. We train a Convolutional Neural Network on the subsets of patches and analyze the training time. We find that, in addition to requiring less preprocessing time, the classifiers trained on the datasets of patches selected based on entropy converge faster than on those selected based on the spectral similarity criterion.

• Abstract: In medical image processing, the most important information is often located on small parts of the image. Patch-based approaches aim at using only the most relevant parts of the image. Finding ways to automatically select the patches is a challenge. In this paper, we investigate two criteria to choose patches: entropy and a spectral similarity criterion. We perform experiments at different levels of patch size. We train a Convolutional Neural Network on the subsets of patches and analyze the training time. We find that, in addition to requiring less preprocessing time, the classifiers trained on the datasets of patches selected based on entropy converge faster than on those selected based on the spectral similarity criterion and, furthermore, lead to higher accuracy. Moreover, patches of high entropy lead to faster convergence and better accuracy than patches of low entropy.

  Current semi-supervised 3D object detection methods typically use a teacher to generate pseudo labels for a student. We propose PatchTeacher, which focuses on partial scene 3D object detection to provide high-quality pseudo labels for the student. We introduce three key techniques, i.e., Patch Normalizer, Quadrant Align, and Fovea Selection, to improve the performance of PatchTeacher.

• Learning to Embed Time Series Patches Independently [5.752266579415516]
  Masked time series modeling has recently gained much attention as a self-supervised representation learning strategy for time series. We argue that capturing such patch might not be an optimal strategy for time series representation learning. We propose to use 1) the simple patch reconstruction task, which autoencode each patch without looking at other patches, and 2) the simple patch-wise reconstruction that embeds each patch independently.

  Deep neural networks have been widely applied in nuclei instance segmentation of H&E stained pathology images. It is inefficient and unnecessary to label all pixels for a dataset of nuclei images which usually contain similar and redundant patterns. We propose a novel full nuclei segmentation framework that chooses only a few image patches to be annotated, augments the training set from the selected samples, and achieves nuclei segmentation in a semi-supervised manner.
