Comparing feature maps generated using UNet-like CNN, 2 Transformer, Mamba, and hybrid architectures for general

· 0 citations · 71 references

TL;DR

This study compares feature maps produced by semantic segmentation architectures using varying combinations of convolutional neural network (CNN), Transformer, and Mamba selective 26 state space (selective SSM) components with a goal of exploring the following question: does correlation or similarity between the generated data abstractions imply comparable predictive performance?

Comparative Study of CNN, Hybrid, and Transformer Architectures in Medical Image Classification.

The results show that larger models and larger pretraining datasets do not automatically lead to better downstream performance, and transfer effectiveness in medical imaging is driven primarily by architectural inductive biases, pretraining strategy, and domain relevance.

MedFuse: dual-stream fusion of convolutional and vision transformer-based features for enhanced medical image classification

Medical image classification is fundamental to computer-aided diagnosis. Limited labeled samples, subtle inter-class differences, and heterogeneous lesion morphology make it difficult for a single representation to capture all relevant cues. This study investigates MedFuse, a simple dual-stream framework that combi...

A Patch-Masking Approach to Explain CNNs and Vision Transformers through Class-Specific Impacts

A new method is presented for explaining CNNs and ViTs image classification through a set of interpretable rules composed of one or more antecedents, which combine pixel-level properties and patch-level features, analyzing the impact of each region on the model’s classification.
