Automatic sleep staging has been often treated as a simple classification problem that aims at determining the label of individual target polysomnography epochs one at a time. In this paper, we tackle the task as a sequence-to-sequence classification...
PURPOSE: Segmentation of pulmonary nodules is critical for the analysis of nodules and lung cancer diagnosis. We present a novel framework of segmentation for various types of nodules using convolutional neural networks (CNNs).
High-grade gliomas are the most aggressive malignant brain tumors. Accurate pre-operative prognosis for this cohort can lead to better treatment planning. Conventional survival prediction based on clinical information is subjective and could be inacc...
