Previous studies have suggested that breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs) mediate metastasis, are resistant to radiation and chemotherapy, contribute relapse. Although several BCSC markers been described, it is unclear whether these identify the same or independent BCSCs. Here, we show BCSCs exist in distinct mesenchymal-like (epithelial-mesenchymal transition [EMT]) epithelial-like (mesenchymal-epithelial [MET]) states. Mesenchymal-like characterized as CD24−CD44+ primarily quiescent localized...

We propose to detect abnormal events via a sparse reconstruction over the normal bases. Given an over-complete basis set (e.g., image sequence or collection of local spatio-temporal patches), we introduce cost (SRC) dictionary measure normalness testing sample. To condense size dictionary, novel selection method is designed with sparsity consistency constraint. By introducing prior weight each during reconstruction, proposed SRC more robust compared other outlier detection criteria. Our...

Unsupervised domain adaptation without accessing expensive annotation processes of target data has achieved remarkable successes in semantic segmentation. However, most existing state-of-the-art methods cannot explore whether representations across domains are transferable or not, which may result the negative transfer brought by irrelevant knowledge.

Video anomaly detection plays a critical role for intelligent video surveillance. We present an abnormal event system that considers both spatial and temporal contexts. To characterize the video, we first perform spatio-temporal segmentation then propose new region-based descriptor called "Motion Context," to describe motion appearance information of segment. For measurements, formulate as matching problem, which is more robust than statistic model-based methods, especially when training...

Accurate lesion segmentation based on endoscopy images is a fundamental task for the automated diagnosis of gastrointestinal tract (GI Tract) diseases. Previous studies usually use hand-crafted features representing images, while feature definition and are treated as two standalone tasks. Due to possible heterogeneity between models, these methods often result in sub-optimal performance.

Weakly-supervised learning under image-level labels supervision has been widely applied to semantic segmentation of medical lesions regions. However, 1) most existing models rely on effective constraints explore the internal representation lesions, which only produces inaccurate and coarse regions; 2) they ignore strong probabilistic dependencies between target dataset (e.g., enteroscopy images) well-to-annotated source diseases gastroscope images). To better utilize these dependencies, we...
