Autism spectrum disorders detection based on multi-task transformer neural network.

Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are neurodevelopmental disorders that cause people difficulties in social interaction and communication. Identifying ASD patients based on resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) data is a promising diagnostic tool, but challenging due to the complex and unclear etiology of autism. And it is difficult to effectively identify ASD patients with a single data source (single task).

Attention-guided cascaded network with pixel-importance-balance loss for retinal vessel segmentation.

Accurate retinal vessel segmentation from fundus images is essential for eye disease diagnosis. Many deep learning methods have shown great performance in this task but still struggle with limited annotated data. To alleviate this issue, we propose an Attention-Guided Cascaded Network (AGC-Net) that learns more valuable vessel features from a few fundus images.
