End-to-End diagnosis of breast biopsy images with transformers.

Diagnostic disagreements among pathologists occur throughout the spectrum of benign to malignant lesions. A computer-aided diagnostic system capable of reducing uncertainties would have important clinical impact. To develop a computer-aided diagnosis method for classifying breast biopsy images into a range of diagnostic categories (benign, atypia, ductal carcinoma in situ, and invasive breast cancer), we introduce a transformer-based hollistic attention network called HATNet.

DiCENet: Dimension-Wise Convolutions for Efficient Networks.

We introduce a novel and generic convolutional unit, DiCE unit, that is built using dimension-wise convolutions and dimension-wise fusion. The dimension-wise convolutions apply light-weight convolutional filtering across each dimension of the input tensor while dimension-wise fusion efficiently combines these dimension-wise representations; allowing the DiCE unit to efficiently encode spatial and channel-wise information contained in the input tensor. The DiCE unit is simple and can be seamlessly integrated with any architecture to improve its efficiency and performance.
