Inverted papilloma and nasal polyp classification using a deep convolutional network integrated with an attention mechanism.

Background: Inverted papilloma (IP) is a common sinus neoplasm with a probability of malignant transformation. Nasal polyps (NP) are the most frequent masses in the sinus. The classification of IP and NP using computed tomography (CT) is highly significant for preoperative recognition, treatment, and clinical examination.

On Detection, Data Association and Segmentation for Multi-Target Tracking.

In this work, we propose a tracker that differs from most existing multi-target trackers in two major ways. First, our tracker does not rely on a pre-trained object detector to get the initial object hypotheses. Second, our tracker's final output is the fine contours of the targets rather than traditional bounding boxes.
