Accurate interpretation of electrocardiogram (ECG) signals is crucial for diagnosing cardiovascular diseases. Recent multimodal approaches that integrate ECGs with accompanying clinical reports show strong potential, but they still face two main concerns from a modality perspective: (1) intra-modali…
Depression remains widely underdiagnosed and undertreated because stigma and subjective symptom ratings hinder reliable screening. To address this challenge, we propose a coarse-to-fine, multi-stage framework that leverages large language models (LLMs) for accurate and interpretable detection. The p…
Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in visual reasoning across diverse tasks. These tasks place different demands on visual representations: some prioritize high-level global context, while others emphasize fine-grained local details. However, most existing
Hallucination in Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) remains a critical challenge, undermining their reliability in real-world applications. Existing studies have investigated the causes of hallucination at the modality level and proposed effective strategies. However, interaction patterns beyond
Depression is a pervasive mental health disorder that remains frequently undiagnosed and untreated due to societal barriers and the subjective nature of its symptoms. Leveraging recent advances in large language models (LLMs), we propose a novel depression detection pipeline that generates emotion p…
The advancement of Spatial Transcriptomics (ST) has facilitated the spatially-aware profiling of gene expressions based on histopathology images. Although ST data offers valuable insights into the micro-environment of tumors, its acquisition cost remains expensive. Therefore, directly predicting the…
Referring Visual Grounding (RVG) tasks revolve around utilizing vision-language interactions to incorporate object information from language expressions, thereby enabling targeted object detection or segmentation within images. Transformer-based methods have enabled effective interaction through att…
Semi-supervised learning (SSL), as one of the dominant methods, aims at leveraging the unlabeled data to deal with the annotation dilemma of supervised learning, which has attracted much attentions in the medical image segmentation. Most of the existing approaches leverage a unitary network by conv…
Multi-task visual scene understanding aims to leverage the relationships among a set of correlated tasks which are solved simultaneously by embedding them within a uni- fied network. However most existing methods give rise to two primary concerns from a task-level perspective: (1) the lack of task-i…
Single-domain generalization (SDG) can efficiently enhance model generalization while avoiding high annotation costs and privacy concerns. However, existing SDG methods are mainly based on data manipulation and meta-learning, which are not efficient enough due to the limited generalization performan…
Vision Transformers have recently shown impressive performances on medical image segmentation. Despite their strong capability of modeling long-range dependencies, the current methods still give rise to two main concerns in a class-level perspective: (1) intra-class problem: the existing methods lac…
Model pre-training is essential in human-centric perception. In this paper, we first introduce masked image modeling (MIM) as a pre-training approach for this task. Upon revisiting the MIM training strategy, we reveal that human structure priors offer significant potential. Motivated by this insight…
Conventional unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) and domain generalization (DG) methods rely on the assumption that all source domains can be directly accessed and combined for model training. However, this centralized training strategy may violate privacy policies in many real-world applications.…
Referring image segmentation aims to segment an object out of an image via a specific language expression. The main concept is establishing global visual-linguistic relationships to locate the object and identify boundaries using details of the image. Recently, various Transformer-based techniques h…
Semi-supervised learning improves data efficiency of deep models by leveraging unlabeled samples to alleviate the reliance on a large set of labeled samples. These successes concentrate on the pixel-wise consistency by using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) but fail to address both global learni…
Though U-Net has achieved tremendous success in medical image segmentation tasks, it lacks the ability to explicitly model long-range dependencies. Therefore, Vision Transformers have emerged as alternative segmentation structures recently, for their innate ability of capturing long-range correlatio…
Recently, a variety of vision transformers have been developed as their capability of modeling long-range dependency. In current transformer-based backbones for medical image segmentation, convolutional layers were replaced with pure transformers, or transformers were added to the deepest encoder to…
Semi-supervised learning (SSL) algorithms have attracted much attentions in medical image segmentation by leveraging unlabeled data, which challenge in acquiring massive pixel-wise annotated samples. However, most of the existing SSLs neglected the geometric shape constraint in object, leading to un…
Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has rapidly spread in 2020, emerging a mass of studies for lung infection segmentation from CT images. Though many methods have been proposed for this issue, it is a challenging task because of infections of various size appearing in different lobe zones. To tackl…
Recently, a growing interest has been seen in deep learning-based semantic segmentation. UNet, which is one of deep learning networks with an encoder-decoder architecture, is widely used in medical image segmentation. Combining multi-scale features is one of important factors for accurate segmentati…
