• Authors: Jeroen Bertels, David Robben, Robin Lemmens, Dirk Vandermeulen
• Abstract summary: We look into some essential aspects of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) with the focus on medical image segmentation. First, we discuss the CNN architecture, thereby highlighting the spatial origin of the data, voxel-wise classification and the receptive field. Second, we discuss the sampling of input-output pairs, thereby highlighting the interaction between voxel-wise classification, patch size and the receptive field.

• Abstract: In this article, we look into some essential aspects of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) with the focus on medical image segmentation. First, we discuss the CNN architecture, thereby highlighting the spatial origin of the data, voxel-wise classification and the receptive field. Second, we discuss the sampling of input-output pairs, thereby highlighting the interaction between voxel-wise classification, patch size and the receptive field. Finally, we give a historical overview of crucial changes to CNN architectures for classification and segmentation, giving insights in the relation between three pivotal CNN architectures: FCN, U-Net and DeepMedic.

  We aim to reduce human workload by predicting connectivity between over-segmented neuron pieces. We first construct a dataset, named FlyTracing, that contains millions of pairwise connections of segments expanding the whole fly brain. We propose a novel connectivity-aware contrastive learning method to generate dense volumetric EM image embedding.

  Deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been shown to provide excellent models for its functional analogue in the brain, the ventral stream in visual cortex. Here we consider some prominent statistical patterns that are known to exist in the internal representations of either CNNs or the visual cortex. We show that CNNs and visual cortex share a similarly tight relationship between dimensionality expansion/reduction of object representations and reformatting of image information.
