Core Concepts
Automated medical image segmentation improved through MatchSeg framework utilizing CLIP and joint attention.
Abstract
Automated medical image segmentation has seen success with deep learning.
Few-shot learning reduces the need for annotated data.
MatchSeg enhances segmentation via reference image matching.
CLIP and joint attention improve support set selection and feature interaction.
Validation on four public datasets shows superior performance.
Stats
Few-shot learning aims to overcome the need for annotated data by using a small labeled dataset, known as a support set, to guide predicting labels for new, unlabeled images, known as the query set.
Our comprehensive evaluation demonstrates superior segmentation performance and powerful domain generalization ability of MatchSeg against existing methods for domain-specific and cross-domain segmentation tasks.
Quotes
"An effective support set is highly correlated with possible query images."
"CLIP-guided image selection boosts segmentation performance."
"Joint attention module refines feature comparison between support and query sets."
