    LiteDKT-Net: A Lightweight Diverse Kernel Transformer Network for Brain Tumor Segmentation

    Ronak Patel, Miral Patel, Deep Kothadiya, Bayan AlGhofaily, Faten S. Alamri, Awad Alyousef, Amjad R Khan
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2026.085703

    Abstract Growth of cancerous cells is unpredictable, and their effects vary across organs and levels of aggression. Identification of the pattern, size, and shape of the growth helps assess severity for better treatment. The proposed LiteDKT-Net combines the DK-IRB (Diverse Kernel Inverted Residual Block) block and Transformer to target conceptual information about shape and location. For better edge detection, LiteDKT-Net uses GAG (Group Attention Gate) followed by CBAM (Convolutional Block Attention Module). LiteDKT-Net is a lightweight encoder-decoder-based network optimized for accurate brain tumor segmentation. The network parameter optimization and reduced computational complexity in LiteDKT-Net enable high… More >

    Improving Convolutional Neural Network Performance Using Alpha-Based Adaptive Pooling for Image Classification

    Nahdi Saubari, Kunfeng Wang, Rachmat Muwardi, Andri Pranolo
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.87, No.3, 2026, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2026.077087
    (This article belongs to the Special Issue: Novel Methods for Image Classification, Object Detection, and Segmentation, 2nd Edition)
    Abstract This study proposes an Adaptive Pooling method based on an alpha (α) parameter to enhance the effectiveness and stability of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) in image classification tasks. Conventional pooling techniques, such as max pooling and average pooling, often exhibit limited adaptability when applied to datasets with heterogeneous distributions and varying levels of complexity. To address this limitation, the proposed approach introduces an α parameter ranging from 0 to 1 that continuously regulates the contribution of maximum-based and average-based pooling operations in a unified and flexible framework. The proposed method is evaluated using two benchmark… More >
