Abstract The main task of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) automatic brain tumor segmentation is to automatically segment the brain tumor edema, peritumoral edema, endoscopic core, enhancing tumor core and nonenhancing tumor core from 3D MR images. Because the location, size, shape and intensity of brain tumors vary greatly, it is very difficult to segment these brain tumor regions automatically. In this paper, by combining the advantages of DenseNet and ResNet, we proposed a new 3D U-Net with dense encoder blocks and residual decoder blocks. We used dense blocks in the encoder part and residual blocks in the decoder part. The number… More >

Abstract Image caption generation is an essential task in computer vision and image understanding. Contemporary image caption generation models usually use the encoder-decoder model as the underlying network structure. However, in the traditional Encoder-Decoder architectures, only the global features of the images are extracted, while the local information of the images is not well utilized. This paper proposed an Encoder-Decoder model based on fused features and a novel mechanism for correcting the generated caption text. We use VGG16 and Faster R-CNN to extract global and local features in the encoder first. Then, we train the bidirectional LSTM network with the fused… More >

Abstract Cultivated land extraction is essential for sustainable development and agriculture. In this paper, the network we propose is based on the encoderdecoder structure, which extracts the semantic segmentation neural network of cultivated land from satellite images and uses it for agricultural automation solutions. The encoder consists of two part: the first is the modified Xception, it can used as the feature extraction network, and the second is the atrous convolution, it can used to expand the receptive field and the context information to extract richer feature information. The decoder part uses the conventional upsampling operation to restore the original resolution.… More >

Abstract Nowadays, with the popularization of network technology, more and more people are concerned about the problem of cyber security. Steganography, a technique dedicated to protecting peoples’ private data, has become a hot topic in the research field. However, there are still some problems in the current research. For example, the visual quality of dense images generated by some steganographic algorithms is not good enough; the security of the steganographic algorithm is not high enough, which makes it easy to be attacked by others. In this paper, we propose a novel high visual quality image steganographic neural network based on encoder-decoder… More >

Abstract Myocardial segmentation and classification play a major role in the diagnosis of cardiovascular disease. Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a kind of common chronic and life-threatening cardiopathy. Early diagnostics significantly increases the chances of correct treatment and survival. However, accurate and rapid diagnosis of DCM is still challenge due to high variability of cardiac structure, low contrast cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) images, and intrinsic noise in synthetic CMR images caused by motion artifact and cardiac dynamics. Moreover, visual assessment and empirical evaluation are widely used in routine clinical diagnosis, but they are subject to high inter-observer variability and are both subjective… More >

Abstract With the success of new speech-based human-computer interfaces, there is a great need for effective and friendly dialogue agents that can communicate with people naturally and continuously. However, the lack of personality and consistency is one of critical problems in neural dialogue systems. In this paper, we aim to generate consistent response with fixed profile and background information for building a realistic dialogue system. Based on the encoder-decoder model, we propose a retrieval mechanism to deliver natural and fluent response with proper information from a profile database. Moreover, in order to improve the efficiency of training the dataset related to… More >

Abstract Cardiomyopathy is one of the most serious public health threats. The precise structural and functional cardiac measurement is an essential step for clinical diagnosis and follow-up treatment planning. Cardiologists are often required to draw endocardial and epicardial contours of the left ventricle (LV) manually in routine clinical diagnosis or treatment planning period. This task is time-consuming and error-prone. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a fully automated end-to-end semantic segmentation method on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging datasets. However, due to the low image quality and the deformation caused by heartbeat, there is no effective tool for fully automated end-to-end… More >

Abstract Keyphrase greatly provides summarized and valuable information. This information can help us not only understand text semantics, but also organize and retrieve text content effectively. The task of automatically generating it has received considerable attention in recent decades. From the previous studies, we can see many workable solutions for obtaining keyphrases. One method is to divide the content to be summarized into multiple blocks of text, then we rank and select the most important content. The disadvantage of this method is that it cannot identify keyphrase that does not include in the text, let alone get the real semantic meaning… More >
