• Abstract summary: We propose a parallel non-isomorphic block that takes the advantages of self-attention and convolution with simple parallelization. We name the resulting U-shape segmentation model as UNet-2022. In experiments, UNet-2022 obviously outperforms its counterparts in a range segmentation tasks.

• Abstract: Recent medical image segmentation models are mostly hybrid, which integrate self-attention and convolution layers into the non-isomorphic architecture. However, one potential drawback of these approaches is that they failed to provide an intuitive explanation of why this hybrid combination manner is beneficial, making it difficult for subsequent work to make improvements on top of them. To address this issue, we first analyze the differences between the weight allocation mechanisms of the self-attention and convolution. Based on this analysis, we propose to construct a parallel non-isomorphic block that takes the advantages of self-attention and convolution with simple parallelization. We name the resulting U-shape segmentation model as UNet-2022. In experiments, UNet-2022 obviously outperforms its counterparts in a range segmentation tasks, including abdominal multi-organ segmentation, automatic cardiac diagnosis, neural structures segmentation, and skin lesion segmentation, sometimes surpassing the best performing baseline by 4%. Specifically, UNet-2022 surpasses nnUNet, the most recognized segmentation model at present, by large margins. These phenomena indicate the potential of UNet-2022 to become the model of choice for medical image segmentation.

  In clinical practice, certain modalities of MRI may be missing, which presents a more difficult scenario. Knowledge Distillation, Domain Adaption, and Shared Latent Space have emerged as commonly promising strategies. We propose a novel paradigm that aligns latent features of involved modalities to a well-defined distribution anchor as the substitution of the pre-trained model.

  Panoramic image segmentation in computational pathology presents a remarkable challenge due to the morphologically complex and variably scaled anatomy. In this paper, we propose a novel Hierarchical Adaptive Taxonomy (HATs) method, which is designed to thoroughly segment panoramic views of kidney structures by leveraging detailed anatomical insights. Our approach entails (1) the innovative HATs technique which translates spatial relationships among 15 distinct object classes into a versatile "plug-and-play" loss function that spans across regions, functional units, and cells, (2) the incorporation of anatomical hierarchies and scale considerations into a unified simple matrix representation for all panoramic entities, and (3) the

  We present Lory, the first approach that scales such architectures to autoregressive language model pre-training. We show significant performance gains over parameter-matched dense models on both perplexity and a variety of downstream tasks. Despite segment-level routing, Lory models achieve competitive performance compared to state-of-the-art MoE models with token-level routing.

  We show that existing probabilistic deep generative models (DGMs) which are tailor-made for image data, underperform on non-linear ICA tasks. To address this, we propose a DGM which combines bijective feature maps with a linear ICA model to learn interpretable latent structures for high-dimensional data. We create models that converge quickly, are easy to train, and achieve better unsupervised latent factor discovery than flow-based models, linear ICA, and Variational Autoencoders on images.
