Improved Protein Structure Prediction Using a New Multi-Scale Network and Homologous Templates.

The accuracy of de novo protein structure prediction has been improved considerably in recent years, mostly due to the introduction of deep learning techniques. In this work, trRosettaX, an improved version of trRosetta for protein structure prediction is presented. The major improvement over trRosetta consists of two folds.

A Highly Efficient Model to Study the Semantics of Salient Object Detection.

CNN-based salient object detection (SOD) methods achieve impressive performance. However, the way semantic information is encoded in them and whether they are category-agnostic is less explored. One major obstacle in studying these questions is the fact that SOD models are built on top of the ImageNet pre-trained backbones which may cause information leakage and feature redundancy.

JCS: An Explainable COVID-19 Diagnosis System by Joint Classification and Segmentation.

Recently, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has caused a pandemic disease in over 200 countries, influencing billions of humans. To control the infection, identifying and separating the infected people is the most crucial step. The main diagnostic tool is the Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) test.

Res2Net: A New Multi-Scale Backbone Architecture.

Representing features at multiple scales is of great importance for numerous vision tasks. Recent advances in backbone convolutional neural networks (CNNs) continually demonstrate stronger multi-scale representation ability, leading to consistent performance gains on a wide range of applications. However, most existing methods represent the multi-scale features in a layer-wise manner.
