arXiv:2408.02787v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Variability in medical image segmentation, arising from annotator preferences, expertise, and their choice of tools, has been well documented. While the majority of multi-annotator segmentation approaches focus on modeling annotator-specific preferences, they require annotator-segmentation correspondence. In this work, we introduce the problem of segmentation style discovery, and propose StyleSeg, a segmentation method that learns plausible, diverse, and semantically consistent segmentation styles from a corpus of image-mask pairs without any knowledge of annotator correspondence. StyleSeg consistently outperforms competing methods on four publicly available skin lesion segmentation (SLS) datasets. We also curate ISIC-MultiAnnot, the largest multi-annotator SLS…

arXiv:2408.02964v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are fundamentally transforming human-facing applications in the health and well-being domains: boosting patient engagement, accelerating clinical decision-making, and facilitating medical education. Although state-of-the-art LLMs have shown superior performance in several conversational applications, evaluations within nutrition and diet applications are still insufficient. In this paper, we propose to employ the Registered Dietitian (RD) exam to conduct a standard and comprehensive evaluation of state-of-the-art LLMs, GPT-4o, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, and Gemini 1.5 Pro, assessing both accuracy and consistency in nutrition queries. Our evaluation includes 1050 RD exam questions encompassing several nutrition topics and…

arXiv:2408.02780v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Limited by equipment limitations and the lack of target intrinsic features, existing infrared small target detection methods have difficulty meeting actual comprehensive performance requirements. Therefore, we propose an innovative lightweight and robust network (LR-Net), which abandons the complex structure and achieves an effective balance between detection accuracy and resource consumption. Specifically, to ensure the lightweight and robustness, on the one hand, we construct a lightweight feature extraction attention (LFEA) module, which can fully extract target features and strengthen information interaction across channels. On the other hand, we construct a simple refined feature transfer (RFT) module.…
