Overview
-
SSFL++: Remove redundancy on spatial/slice dimension with kernel-density-aware slice sampling for CT scan. (removing 70% reduncancy and with global sequantial modeling)
-
E2D: Simple 2D-CNN for COVID-19 Detection. (few-shot aware, robust, and efficient)
- Generalizability: A Unified redundancy removal framework for CT-scan-like data.
Data Reduction Overview
The reduction in redundant data achieved by the SSFL++ module is evaluated across three dimensions: spatial, slice, and overall. This approach quantifies the efficiency of the SSFL++ module in reducing unnecessary information in CT scans, enabling more focused analysis and processing. By minimizing data redundancy, the module enhances computational efficiency and potentially improves the accuracy of subsequent analyses or models applied to the CT data.
