MERIT: Multi-view evidential learning for reliable and interpretable liver fibrosis staging.

Accurate staging of liver fibrosis from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is crucial in clinical practice. While conventional methods often focus on a specific sub-region, multi-view learning captures more information by analyzing multiple patches simultaneously. However, previous multi-view approaches could not typically calculate uncertainty by nature, and they generally integrate features from different views in a black-box fashion, hence compromising reliability as well as interpretability of the resulting models.

Deep Learning Segmentation of the Right Ventricle in Cardiac MRI: The M&Ms Challenge.

In recent years, several deep learning models have been proposed to accurately quantify and diagnose cardiac pathologies. These automated tools heavily rely on the accurate segmentation of cardiac structures in MRI images. However, segmentation of the right ventricle is challenging due to its highly complex shape and ill-defined borders.

A New Framework of Swarm Learning Consolidating Knowledge From Multi-Center Non-IID Data for Medical Image Segmentation.

Large training datasets are important for deep learning-based methods. For medical image segmentation, it could be however difficult to obtain large number of labeled training images solely from one center. Distributed learning, such as swarm learning, has the potential to use multi-center data without breaching data privacy.
