Wiebe, E. Y. Young, Spider Collaboration

“…Component-separation algorithms operating in both the spatial and harmonic domains are applied to probe their consistency and to quantify modeling errors associated with their assumptions. Analyses of diffuse Galactic dust emission spanning the full Spider region demonstrate (i) a spectral energy distribution that is broadly consistent with a modified-blackbody (MBB) model with a spectral index of β _d = 1.45 ± 0.05 (1.47 ± 0.06) for E ( B )-mode polarization, slightly lower than that reported by Planck for the full sky; (ii) an angular power spectrum broadly consistent with a power law; and (iii) no significant detection of line-of-sight polarization decorrelation. …”

OMSF2: optimizing multi-scale feature fusion learning for pneumoconiosis staging diagnosis through data specificity augmentation by Xueting Ren, Surong Chu, Guohua Ji, Zijuan Zhao, Juanjuan Zhao, Yan Qiang, Yangyang Wei, Yan Wang

“…To address these issues, we propose an Optimized Multi-Scale Feature Fusion learning framework, OMSF2, which includes the following components: (1) Data specificity augmentation module is introduced to capture intrinsic data representations and introduce diversity by learning morphological variations and lesion locations. (2) Multi-scale feature learning module is utilized that refines micro-feature localization guided by heatmaps, enabling full extraction of multi-directional features of subtle diffuse targets. (3) Multi-scale feature fusion module is employed that facilitates the fusion of high-level and low-level features to better understand subtle differences between disease stages. …”
