Published: May 2009

In order to explore the selective attention mechanism and the dual-task information-processing model, two experiments were carried out involving a visual search task and a visual detection task. The results showed that the early period of attention selection is controlled in a bottom-up manner. With respect to the dual-task information-processing model, the results showed that the central information-processing model would include a sequence model for tasks that use the same perception resource, causing a bottleneck in information processing. Our study suggests that a simple and prominent signal could be used to attract drivers' attention prior to the emergent events. Moreover, any human-machine interface design in driving-associated systems should consider this information-processing bottleneck. With respect to signal type, targeted and easy to categorize were two useful elements to consider.

An automatic cervical cell classification model based on improved DenseNet121.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Department of Biomedical Engineering, School of Life Science and Technology, Changchun University of Science and Technology, Changchun, 130022, China.

The cervical cell classification technique can determine the degree of cellular abnormality and pathological condition, which can help doctors to detect the risk of cervical cancer at an early stage and improve the cure and survival rates of cervical cancer patients. Addressing the issue of low accuracy in cervical cell classification, a deep convolutional neural network A2SDNet121 is proposed. A2SDNet121 takes DenseNet121 as the backbone network.

Although the Transformer architecture has established itself as the industry standard for jobs involving natural language processing, it still has few uses in computer vision. In vision, attention is used in conjunction with convolutional networks or to replace individual convolutional network elements while preserving the overall network design. Differences between the two domains, such as significant variations in the scale of visual things and the higher granularity of pixels in images compared to words in the text, make it difficult to transfer Transformer from language to vision.

Breast cancer is one of the most aggressive types of cancer, and its early diagnosis is crucial for reducing mortality rates and ensuring timely treatment. Computer-aided diagnosis systems provide automated mammography image processing, interpretation, and grading. However, since the currently existing methods suffer from such issues as overfitting, lack of adaptability, and dependence on massive annotated datasets, the present work introduces a hybrid approach to enhance breast cancer classification accuracy.
