Example of Internal-transfer Weighting (ITW) of multi-task learning. The LC, AA, CB, COPD, E represent the tasks of lung cancer, adult asthma, chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and emphysema, respectively. The red number is the loss weight for the task. Note that we apply PFLP on top of the displayed weights.

Vision for joint consideration of diagnosis and cancer-free progression time (CFPT) in cancer and non-cancer patients. The blue dashed lines represent the defined CFPT. The red number (%) in small rectangle is the risk score computed by the PLCOm2012 [3] model. Current scores suggest screening at every point since they indicate high risk (>= 2%). If CFPT were known, the green rectangles could have been avoided.

The framework of DLSTM (three “steps” in the example). x_t is the input data at time point t, and d_t is the time distance from the time point t to the latest time point. “F” represents the learnable DLSTM component (convolutional version in this paper). H_t and C_t are the hidden state and cell state, respectively. The input data, x_t, could be 1D, 2D, or 3D.

An overview of the proposed method. Three geometric features (iH, SD, H) are used for training the spherical U-Net to predict 49 cortical parcellation labels. For each geometric property, intermediate deformation fields draw a total of 11+11 respective samples after boundary and geometric alignment for data augmentation. The cortical parcellation is then performed using the original geometric features of testing subjects.
