- Abstract: Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the United States and is
estimated to affect one in five Americans. Recent advances have demonstrated
strong performance on skin cancer detection, as exemplified by state of the art
performance in the SIIM-ISIC Melanoma Classification Challenge; however these
solutions leverage ensembles of complex deep neural architectures requiring
immense storage and compute costs, and therefore may not be tractable. A recent
movement for TinyML applications is integrating Double-Condensing Attention
Condensers (DC-AC) into a self-attention neural network backbone architecture
to allow for faster and more efficient computation. This paper explores
leveraging an efficient self-attention structure to detect skin cancer in skin
lesion images and introduces a deep neural network design with DC-AC customized
for skin cancer detection from skin lesion images. The final model is publicly
available as a part of a global open-source initiative dedicated to
accelerating advancement in machine learning to aid clinicians in the fight
against cancer.

In Canada, prostate cancer is the most common form of cancer in men and accounted for 20% of new cancer cases for this demographic in 2022.
There has been significant interest in the development of deep neural networks for prostate cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment planning using diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) data.
In this study, we explore the efficacy of latent diffusion for generating realistic prostate DWI data through the introduction of an anatomic-conditional controlled latent diffusion strategy.
