• Abstract: Polyp segmentation, a contentious issue in medical imaging, has seen numerous proposed methods aimed at improving the quality of segmented masks. While current state-of-the-art techniques yield impressive results, the size and computational cost of these models create challenges for practical industry applications. To address this challenge, we present KDAS, a Knowledge Distillation framework that incorporates attention supervision, and our proposed Symmetrical Guiding Module. This framework is designed to facilitate a compact student model with fewer parameters, allowing it to learn the strengths of the teacher model and mitigate the inconsistency between teacher features and student features, a common challenge in Knowledge Distillation, via the Symmetrical Guiding Module. Through extensive experiments, our compact models demonstrate their strength by achieving competitive results with state-of-the-art methods, offering a promising approach to creating compact models with high accuracy for polyp segmentation and in the medical imaging field. The implementation is available on https://github.com/huyquoctrinh/KDAS.

  Traditional segmentation methods struggle to address challenges such as high anatomical variability, blurred tissue boundaries, low organ contrast, and noise. We propose MLLA-UNet (Mamba-Like Linear Attention UNet), a novel architecture that achieves linear computational complexity while maintaining high segmentation accuracy. Experiments demonstrate that MLLA-UNet achieves state-of-the-art performance on six challenging datasets with 24 different segmentation tasks, including but not limited to FLARE22, AMOS CT, and ACDC, with an average DSC of 88.32%.

• Module-wise Adaptive Distillation for Multimodality Foundation Models [125.42414892566843]
  multimodal foundation models have demonstrated remarkable generalizability but pose challenges for deployment due to their large sizes. One effective approach to reducing their sizes is layerwise distillation, wherein small student models are trained to match the hidden representations of large teacher models at each layer. Motivated by our observation that certain architecture components, referred to as modules, contribute more significantly to the student's performance than others, we propose to track the contributions of individual modules by recording the loss decrement after distillation each module and choose the module with a greater contribution to distill more frequently.
